[en] This paper discusses the integrated design of mechatronic systems with varying dynamics, such as serial and parallel machine tools. This characteristic affects the machine stability and performance. A computer-aided integrated design methodology is proposed and validated on a pick-and-place robot. It consists of two main steps: (i) the derivation of reduced models from a flexible multibody model and (ii) the systematic robust control design. Eventually, the integrated design of the system, considering both structural and control parameters, can be performed.
