چکیده

Abstract. Dealing with robot calibration the neglection of joint and drive flexibilities limit the achievable positioning accuracy significantly. This problem is addressed in this paper. A two stage procedure is presented where elastic deflections are considered for the calculation of the geometric parameters. In the first stage, the unknown stiffness and damping parameters are identified. To this end the model based transfer functions of the linearized system are fitted to captured frequency responses of the real robot. The real frequency responses are determined by exciting the system with periodic multisine signals in the motor torques. In the second stage, the identified elasticity parameters in combination with the measurements of the motor positions are used to compute the real robot pose. On the basis of the estimated pose the geometric calibration is performed and the error between the estimated end-effector position and the real position measured with an external sensor (laser-tracker) is minimized. In the geometric model, joint offsets, axes misalignment, length errors and gear backlash are considered and identified. Experimental results are presented, where a maximum end-effector error (accuracy) of 0.32 mm and for 90 % of the poses a maximum error of 0.23 mm was determined (Stäubli TX90L).

Modelling and Identification of Robots with Both Joint and Drive Flexibilities

Modelling and identification of flexible-joint robots is required for dynamic simulation and model based control of industrial robots. A nonlinear finite element based method is used to derive the dynamic equations of motion in a form suitable for both simulation and identification. The latter requires that the equations of motion are linear in the dynamic parameters. For accurate simulations o...

Robust Fractional-order Control of Flexible-Joint Electrically Driven Robots

This paper presents a novel robust fractional PIλ controller design for flexible joint electrically driven robots. Because of using voltage control strategy, the proposed approach is free of problems arising from torque control strategy in the design and implementation. In fact, the motor's current includes the effects of nonlinearities and coupling in the robot manipulator. Therefore, cancella...

Nonlinear Grey-box Identification of Industrial Robots Containing Flexibilities

Nonlinear grey-box identification of industrial robots is considered. A three-step identification procedure is proposed in which parameters for rigid body dynamics, friction, and flexibilities can be identified only using measurements on the motor. In the first two steps, good initial parameter estimates are derived which are used in the last step, where the parameters of a nonlinear physically...
