Abstract

This study introduces the Geometric Dynamics Algorithm (GDA) for representing the dynamics of serially linked robots. GDA is non-symbolic, preserves simple formulation, and is convenient for numerical implementation. GDA-based algorithms are deduced for efficient calculation of various dynamic quantities including (1) joint space inertia matrix (JSIM) (2) Coriolis matrix (3) centrifugal matrix (4) and the time derivative of JSIM. The proposed algorithms were analyzed in terms of their computational complexity. Results compare favorably with other methods.
