Abstract

This book chapter is about fundamentals of manipulator dynamics and their applications. Two approaches of manipulator dynamics, namely, recursive Newton-Euler approach and the Lagrange equations, are introduced and discussed. Examples are included to demonstrate their application in manipulator dynamics simulations and analysis. This book chapter can provide basic understanding on manipulator dynamics, which is applicable to manipulators, including serial and parallel manipulators.
