Abstract
The recursive Newton-Euler dynamic formulation is used to derive the e quations of motion of a manipulator with harmonic drives. The derivati on is general, in that the harmonic drive is viewed as a separate body that forms a kinematically closed chain with two contiguous links, le ading to a comprehensive dynamic model. The harmonic drive is modeled as a flexible and rigid gear with a high gear reduction ratio. Under d ifferent modeling assumptions, the effects of gear flexibility and dyn amic coupling are examined using a seven-degree-of-freedom manipulator .
