2. Research Directions

Creation of new and improvement of existing algorithms for calculating the mechanics of modern robotic devices, multi-link models of which reflect the spatial motion of links, include consideration of connections – stationary and non-stationary, restraining and non-restraining, holonomic and non-holonomic. These are calculations of kinematics, statics and dynamics, free and forced vibrations, etc. 

3. Key Projects

The group members created the software complex “Special System of Computer Algebra KiDyM” (SSСA KiDyM) to calculate the mechanics of discrete and some continuum systems. A feature of the complex is that its core is a computer algebra system, which allows preparing and editing the initial data in an analytical form for calculating the dynamics of flat and spatial models of machines and mechanisms with arbitrary linkages, including non-stationary, non-restraining, non-holonomic. This significantly speeds up the obtaining of calculation results. This program is widely used for the mechanical analysis of robotic multi-mass spatial systems. Recently, it has been used to solve kinematics and dynamics problems of android-like robots, spatial manipulators, and UAVs.
