sign of the moment of inertia in the description of the KUKA LWR dynamics in KDL
Submitted by vpadois on Fri, 2014-09-19 12:02 |
Hello,
I am using the KUKA LWR kinematics and dynamics description that can be
found in the KDL source code here:
orocos_kinematics_dynamics/orocos_kdl/models/kukaLWR_DHnew.cpp
and I am surprised to see that some of the moments of inertia of the
segments (joint 2 and 4 associated segments) are negative. By definition
these terms should be positive. Can someone tell me more about the reason
for these negative signs ? Also, how were these (I mean all of them, not
just the negative ones) values identified/obtained ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best
Vincent

It has been a long time, so I don't remember exactly but it might be due to
the fact that those axes are not right-hand turning?

AFAIK they were obtained using
http://limo.libis.be/Lirias:lirias123456789/167731 on a LWR4 (not a LWR4+
IIRC)

Then, if this information is only embedded in the moment of inertia I don't
understand why the Jacobian would be correct (it is correct when compared
to the one provided by KUKA). So there must be some other reason. Have you
actually used the LWR dynamics model from KDL to perform dynamic
decoupling control on the real robot ?

I looked inside and the only data available are the one from a KUKA IR 361.

Not that I remember, it was actually not me creating that model but Wilm

Yes, but think we used a similar/same approach to determine it, you should
ask Wilm for more information.
