Assuming that the motion of the robotic arm follows the trajectory (unit: mm) defined by

= 750 + 750(cos − 1)
= 750(1 − cos ) (56)
= 600(1 − cos )
where the end-effector keeps constant-orientation [0, , 0] and the motion period = 0.5 s is divided into
1024 intervals, Figure 8 shows the displacement responses of the end-effector, from which it is seen that the
linear elastic displacement responses are close, whenever the robotic arm is under loaded and unloaded work-
ing modes. The angular displacements of the end-effector generate relatively large differences. The largest
deformations appear around 0.3 s where the end-effector is located in the middle layer of the workspace, ap-
proximately = 250 mm.

Figure 9 shows the comparison of the joint angular displacements between the numerical simulation and ex-
