Abstract :
This paper demonstrates that for certain choices of mass distribution and addition of springs, an underactuated two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) bm PRRRP system is static feedback linearizable, i.e., differentially flat as well. This paper is original and provides a ground breaking study in underactuated dynamical systems.
