Abstract

Symbolic equations defining the effective joint inertias and gravity loading torques for the Unimate PUMA manipulator are derived. These equations define the inertias to within 10% and the gravity torques to within 1%. The equations are very simple and are suitable for on-line computation. They also give insight into the general control problem.
