Abstract
             
              In this article, we will analyze a 3 point spatial robot which its 
              second and third members are flexible and the third is made from 
              composite material and the joint between the two is flexible too. 
              For this, we use concepts like Hamilton's rule, differentiation, 
              modification of changes and the finite elements method. For determination 
              of motion equations and to get the approximate results, we use the 
              finite element method with timoshenko beam theory. The element considered 
              has 10 degrees of freedom and we will prove that the dynamic response 
              of the robot arm made from composite material is more precise.
