Title
A Cartesian tensor approach for fast computation of manipulator dynamics
Abstract
Orthogonal second-order Cartesian tensors are used to formulated the Newton-Euler dynamic equations for a robot manipulator. Based on this formulation, an efficient recursive procedure is developed to evaluate the joint torques. The procedure is applicable to all rigid-link manipulators with open-chain kinematic structures with revolute and/or prismatic joints. For simplicity of presentation, only manipulators with (kinematically more complex) revolute joints are considered. An efficient implementation of the proposed method shows that the joint torques for a six-degree-of-freedom manipulator with revolute joint, can be computed in approximately 500 multiplications and 420 additions. For manipulators with 0° or 90° twist angles, the required computations are reduced to 380 multiplications and 315 additions
