This paper presents a design process based on an advanced flexible robots modeling tool associated with realistic actuators models and pre-defined control architecture. This process implements dedicated feasibility and performance indicators, which are used to evaluate a design and its sensitivity on the considered parameters. The proposed approach is illustrated with theoretical and experimental results obtained with the YAKA robot.
