Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The minimal parameter set is fundamental to robot dynamic identification, enabling efficient and identifiable modeling for control and simulation. In this paper, the Newton-Euler method is employed to formulate the robot dynamics. By leveraging screw theory, the model is expressed in a matrix form that is linear with respect to the robot's inertial parameters. The Kronecker product is then applied to transform the matrix equation into an equivalent vector-matrix representation. Subsequently, full-rank decomposition is used to reduce the dimensionality of the parameter vector, resulting in the minimal dynamic parameter set of the robot. Following this, excitation signals are sequentially applied to each joint, starting from the end-effector and progressing toward the base, enabling a stepwise identification of the minimal parameter set using the least-squares method. The identified minimal parameters are then incorporated into the mass matrix of the dynamic model, enabling the implementation of forward dynamic simulation. Experimental validation is conducted on a planar 3R robot. The results demonstrate that the sequential excitation strategy accurately identifies dynamic parameters while ensuring the robot's safety. Furthermore, the forward dynamic simulation closely replicates the kinematic behavior of the actual robot.
