Modeling and Compensation of Motion Errors for 6-DOF Robotic Manipulators

Six degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) robotic manipulators have been increasingly adopted in various applications in industries due to various advantages, such as large operation space, more degrees of freedom, low cost, easy placement, and convenient programming. However, the robotic manipulator has the pr...

description Six degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) robotic manipulators have been increasingly adopted in various applications in industries due to various advantages, such as large operation space, more degrees of freedom, low cost, easy placement, and convenient programming. However, the robotic manipulator has the problem of insufficient stiffness due to the series structures, which will cause motion errors of the manipulator end. In this paper, taking a 6-DOF robotic manipulator as an example, forward and inverse kinematics models are established, and a new modeling method for the joint angle and space stiffness of the end of the manipulator is proposed, which can establish the composite stiffness model of joint link stiffness and joint stiffness. An error compensation model is subsequently established. The experimental results indicate that the proposed error compensation method can effectively reduce the end motion error of the robotic manipulator, and hence, the working performance and accuracy of the manipulator can be improved. The proposed research is helpful for extending the application of robotic manipulators in precision machining and measurement.
