Sensorless Force Estimation for Robots with Friction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a method for estimating forces applied at the end effector of a robot without the need for force sensors. Servo motor currents and positions are used together with an accurate system model to estimate applied forces. The system model includes inertia, friction and position dependent force components. The signal processing techniques required to extract the force information from the servo motor data are detailed and experimental results from a SCARA robot presented.

Force-Sensorless Friction and Gravity Compensation for Robots
In this paper we present two controllers for robots that combine terms for the compensation of gravity forces, and the forces of friction of motors and gearboxes. The Low-Friction Zero-Gravity controller allows a guidance of the robot without effort, allowing small friction forces to reduce the free robot motion. It can serve to aid users providing kinesthetic demonstrations while programming b...
متن کاملTendon sheath analysis for estimation of distal end force and elongation for sensorless distal end
Tendon sheath actuation is found in many applications, particularly in robotic hands and surgical robots. Due to the friction between the tendon and sheath, many undesirable characteristic such as backlash, hysteresis and non-linearity are present. It is desirable to know the end-effector force and elongation of the tendon to control the system effectively, but it is not always feasible to fix ...
متن کاملPredicting Maximum Traction to Improve Maneuverability for Autonomous Mobile Robots on Rough Terrain
This paper proposes a method to predict maximum traction force for autonomous mobile robots on rough terrain in order to improve maneuverability. For predicting traction force, we utilize friction-slip curves based on modified Brixius model derived empirically in terramechanics, which is a function of mobility number Bn′ and slip ratio S. Friction-slip curves include physical characteristics of...
متن کاملMRAS state estimator for speed sensorless ISFOC induction motor drives with Luenberger load torque estimation.
This paper presents a novel method for estimating the load torque of a sensorless indirect stator flux oriented controlled (ISFOC) induction motor drive based on the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) scheme. As a matter of fact, this method is meant to inter-connect a speed estimator with the load torque observer. For this purpose, a MRAS has been applied to estimate the rotor speed with t...
متن کاملSensorless Speed Control of Switched Reluctance Motor Drive Using the Binary Observer with Online Flux-Linkage Estimation
An adaptive online flux-linkage estimation method for the sensorless control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive is presented in this paper. Sensorless operation is achieved through a binary observer based algorithm. In order to avoid using the look up tables of motor characteristics, which makes the system, depends on motor parameters, an adaptive identification algorithm is used to estim...
