  A new spring balancing technique, called a two-phase optimization method, is presented. Phase 1 uses harmonic synthesis to provide a system configuration which achieves an approximation to a desired dynamic system response. Phase 2 uses results of harmonic synthesis as initial conditions for dynamic system optimization. Optimization techniques compensate for nonlinearities in machine dynamics. Example applications to robot manipulators and to walking machine legs are presented and discussed.
