This paper deals with the extension of the differential flatness theory to spatial underactuated robots. A 3-DOF robot with a kinematic structure resembling the one of a 6-DOF industrial robot with spherical wrist is considered. The conditions that the mass distribution of the passive link has to satisfy to guarantee differential flatness are defined. A prototype is designed and built. Numerical simulations show that the robot is able to perform point-to-point motions with small oscillations of the end effector. Numerical results are corroborated by experimental tests.

Abstract
This paper deals with the extension of the differential flatness theory to spatial underactuated robots. A 3-DOF robot with a kinematic structure resembling the one of a 6-DOF industrial robot with spherical wrist is considered. The conditions that the mass distribution of the passive link has to satisfy to guarantee differential flatness are defined. A prototype is designed and built. Numerical simulations show that the robot is able to perform point-to-point motions with small oscillations of the end effector. Numerical results are corroborated by experimental tests.
