Vibration Control of Flexible Servo Mechanisms

by Jean-Luc Faillot (Editor)

Overview

The ESPRIT project SACODY, carried out between 1987 and
1991, has comprehensively studied the problems linked with the control of lightweight robots. It has succeeded in demonstrating how the implementation of computeraided testing and dynamic modelling techniques enables the improvement of the accuracy of industrial robots while increasing their operational speed. Starting from a background mainly addressing large structures developed for space applications, it has succeeded in transferring and applying a spatial control concept into the field of industrial robotics.
This volume reports the achievements of the project, which wascarried out by leading experts from industry and academia within the framework of the first phase of ERSPRIT,
the European strategic programme for research and development in information technology of the Commission of the European Communities. SACODY is a French acronym for project 1561, the English title of which is "A high performance Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) robot with on-line dynamic compensation".
