  • Abstract
    In this paper, we derive a mathematical formulation that relates the end-effector tracking error to the end point payload carried by a modular reconfigurable manipulator (IRIS) in two different configurations. The effect of varying the end point payload on the independent joint position error is investigated experimentally on the two configurations of the modular and reconfigurable robot.
