Dynamic Models

This page gives an overview over all implemented dynamic models.

General considerations

• Friction is handled on axis basis. The parameters for friction are set for each axis separately.
• Torque (Force) is always expressed in [Nm] ([N])

Dynamic Model 2 - Gravity

This dynamic model is for cases where the robot moves very slowly.
In such cases, the accelerations and velocities of the joints of the robot have little effect on the joints torques. The joints torques are mainly affected by gravity and friction.
This model includes only the gravity and friction part of the PUMA robot dynamic model.
