Equations of motion in matrix form and energy consumption

Can you set up the problem so that the quantities you care about (e.g. power) are more explicitly represented? Reasoning physically, where could the power go? Accelerating masses, including rotation ...

Occupancy grid maps

As the wikipedia page of Occupancy grid mapping explains, the result of the mapping process is a binary 1 or 0, occupied or not, the decision itself may be based on noisy data, which involves the ...

Equations of motion in matrix form and energy consumption

First, you need to get rid of the damping matrix C as it transforms kinetic energy into heat. Second, you should make the mass matrix as small as possible. (lightweight construction). After that you ...

Occupancy grid maps

Cause of the intrinsic noise in sensory data, we have to consider a probabilistic model (mostly Gaussian) for the sensor measurements. As a matter of fact, the description and definition of the ...

URDF for a real robot

For a real robot, do I need a URDF as well? It is not necessary to create a URDF for a real robot, but it's highly recommended. Many of the tools are designed to leverage it. For example the ...

Modelling/Theory for Quadraped Robot Leg Example

Most tutorials about kinematics and dynamics would teach you open-chain systems, like the typical robotic manipulator. While in this robot, the leg itself is a closed-chain system, which is quite ...

DH Parameters of a 2 DOF RP Robot

Using the DH convention in Robot Modeling and Control by Spong, the DH table is $$ T_2^0 = \begin{bmatrix} c_{\theta_1} & 0 & -s_{\theta_1} & 0 \\ s_{\theta_1} & 0 & c_{\theta_1} ...

Choose the structure of the dynamic model for the generalized equations of motion of the robot

The system in the paper is supposed to control an exoskeleton which will mimic the motions of the person inside, except bearing the weight of the backpack (and some of the person's weight, too). There ...

DC motor modelling with Bond Graph

It might help to organize the equations a little in steps. I think you have all this above: Output torque of system: $\tau_F$ Output torque at motor: $\tau_0 = \tau_F/N$ Motor output speed: $\...

Denavit-hartenberg parameters sign 6-DOF

First thing first- you can consider any direction as positive or negative, but need to keep it constant while solving the problem and even while programming robot. In almost all cases of 6-DOF ...

Estimation of pitch, roll, yaw angles: synthesis of an observer or IMU?

Assuming this is a platform attached to a robot of some kind, you can: Measure the platform pose directly, as with an inclinometer, IMU, laser, camera, etc., Measure the platform pose indirectly, by ...

My robot keeps getting saved as one cylinder leaving out the bottom cube

I suppose that what you're seeing when you add your robot model to the world is something like this: That is, only the top part of the robot is visible. The problem is not that the bottom part isn't ...

Why are the angular velocities of concentrated masses in Lagrangian independent?

Welcome to Robotics, Andrew Sol. I think I'm a little confused with your question as it appears to be about independent rotational masses connected by rotational springs, but then later you're asking ...

Dynamic models of parallel robots in the form of multi-mass systems with stiffness coefficients

The equations of motion is simply $$ \begin{align} J_m \ddot{\theta}_1 + K_{md}(\theta_1-\theta_2) &= \tau_e \tag{1} \\ J_d \ddot{\theta}_2 + K_{md}(\theta_2-\theta_1) &= \tau_L + \tau_s \tag{...
