Stability Modeling of Flexible Robotic Arms Using MFA

Abstract

This paper investigates the stability of flexible robotic arm motion using Modulated Frequency Analysis (MFA), a modern analytical technique designed for systems exhibiting time-varying dynamics. The paper focuses on developing a mathematical model for flexible link manipulators, applying MFA to analyze their dynamic behavior, and validating the results through simulation. The outcomes provide insights into resonance, damping, and control strategies for ensuring stability in flexible robotic systems, particularly in high-precision and high-speed applications.
