Abstract:
When simulating and controlling robot dynamics it is necessary to know the inertial parameters and the joint dynamics accurately. As these parameters are usually not provided by manufacturers, identification is then an essential step in robotics. In addition with the up coming wide-spreading of humanoid robots in the society the identification of humanoid dynamics has became mandatory to insure safety. This paper proposes a method to estimate humanoid robots inertial parameters using a minimal set of sensors. Only joint angles and external forces information are required. Simulations have provided exciting trajectories that are reproduced on a small-size humanoid robot. Experimental results are given.
