Dynamic Parameter Identification of UP6 Robot Manipulator using SFLA

An Optimal Information Method for Mobile Manipulator Dynamic Parameter Identification

High-performance robot-control algorithms often rely on system-dynamic models. For field robots, the dynamic parameters of these models may not be well known. This paper presents a mutual-information-based observability metric for the online dynamic parameter identification of a multibody system. The metric is used in an algorithm to optimally select the external excitation required by the dyna...

Metric Based Dynamic Parameter Identification for Mobile Field Manipulator Systems

High performance robot control algorithms often rely on system physical models. For field robots, the dynamic parameters of these physical models may not be well known. This paper presents a new information based performance metric for the on-line dynamic parameter identification of a multi-body system. The metric is used in an algorithm to optimally regulate the external excitation required by...

Dynamic modelling and parameter estimation of a hydraulic robot manipulator using a multi-objective genetic algorithm

Dynamic Modeling of a Robot Manipulator for Opening the Tap Hole of an Electric Arc Furnace

The electric arc furnace (EAF) is used to produce high quality steel from steel scraps. The EAF uses plasma arc to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal should be drained from the tap hole. Manual tapping operation of the EAF in the hot environment around the furnace is a potentially dangerous and time consuming task for the workers. Therefore, it is ess...

Comments on "A linear solution to the kinematic parameter identification of robot manipulator" and some modifications

The paper by Zhnang and Roth [5] presents a Linear solution to kinematic parameter identification of robot manipulators. With their method, the orientation parameters for all revolute joints have to be solved first before solving for the translation parameters for all revolute joints and the orientation parameters for all prismatic joints simultaneously. Our major modification here is to decomp...
