Abstract

The reduction gear's friction strongly affects the dynamic characteristics of a one-link flexible robot arm. Experiments of open loop response by motor torque were performed in two cases of large and small values of the reduction gear's friction, and compared with simulation. The reduction gear's friction has both viscous and Coulomb aspects and can be approximately treated as an equivalent viscous friction. However, tip position control was very difficult in the case of large friction with an equivalent viscous friction. Experiments indicated that tip position feedback control was possible by using a dither signal and linearizing the non-linear friction.
