Design of an Actuated Flexible Arm for Improved Vibration Properties
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, a multi-objective optimization index is introduced for improving the dynamic behavior of an actuated structurally flexible arm through geometric shape design. The improvement in the dynamic behavior is achieved by defining a vector optimization cost function. This cost function is associated with the frequency of the lowest system zero when joint angles are taken as outputs, the gain sensitivity of open-loop system modes, and the gain sensitivity of the closed-loop system modes at its transmission zeros. Moreover, a general relationship is obtained between the system pole and zero locations. In particular, it is shown that the magnitude of each system zero is smaller than a corresponding flexural mode and thus the smallest zero always occurs before the smallest pole and should therefore be considered in structural shape design. The design method is applied for finding an optimized structural shape for a single-link flexible arm. The optimized link is shown to yield superior robustness and performance characteristics in a closed-loop system when compared to the non-optimized uniform link. Thus, simpler control schemes can be utilized for the optimized flexible-link system compared to the non-optimized case.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
