An algorithm for efficient computation of dynamics of robotic manipulators

摘要

Abstract This article presents a recursive algorithm for computation of dynamics of robot manipulators using the concepts of “augmented body” and “barycenter.” This efficient algorithm is proposed for real‐time control. The proposed method of computation is based on Newton‐Euler formalism, and it can be applied to any rigid‐link manipulator with open‐loop kinematic chains with revolute and/or prismatic joints. The computational efficiency of the proposed method is compared with other published methods.
