Load Parameter Identification for Parallel Robot Manipulator Based on Extended Kalman Filter

Abstract

Load is the main external disturbance of a parallel robot manipulator. This disturbance will cause dynamic coupling among different degrees of freedom and make heaps of model-based control methods difficult to apply. In order to compensate this disturbance, it is crucial to obtain an accurate dynamic model of load. However, in practice, the load is always uncertain and its dynamic parameters are arduous to know a priori. To cope with this problem, this paper proposes a novel and simple approach to identify the dynamic parameters of load. Firstly, the dynamic model of the parallel robot manipulator with uncertain load is established and the dynamic coupling caused by load is also analyzed. Then, according to the dynamic model, the excitation signal is designed and a weak nonlinear dynamic model is derived. Furthermore, the identification model is presented and the identification algorithm based on the extended Kalman filter is designed. Lastly, numerical simulation results, obtained using a six-degree-of-freedom Gough–Stewart parallel manipulator, demonstrate the good estimation performance of the proposed method.

“…In Equation (25), l bi = l 0 bi + ∆l bi ; if ∆l bi is regarded as a first-order small quantity, it will be absorbed in calculations. Consequently, this study overlooks the impact of ∆l bi and does not account for it.…”

“…AMF has been widely used as a classic excellent filter for filtering salt and pepper noise [21][22][23][24]. Y i represents the coordinate window of a rectangle of size L * L, and L max * L max is the maximum size of the rectangle window during the algorithm.…”

Evaluation of Parameter Identification of a Real Manipulator Robot

“…Localization is among the most used applications of the KF and its modifications [5][6][7]. This application is employed to correct the position of some robots [8][9][10], for trajectory tracking [11][12][13][14], and for parameter estimation [15][16][17].…”
