This paper discusses a new experimental robot load identification method that is used in industry. The method is based on periodic robot excitation and the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters, techniques adopted from [1]. This method provides (1) accurate estimates of the robot load inertial parameters, and (2) accurate actuator torques predictions, both of which are essential for t...

We present a new finishing process that is capable of locally shaping and polishing optical surfaces of complex shapes. A fluid jet system is used to guide a premixed slurry at pressures less than 6 bars to the optical surface. We used a slurry comprising water and 10% #800 SiC abrasives (21.8 mum) to reduce the surface roughness of a BK7 sample from 350 to 25 nm rms and to vary the shape of a ...
