Identification by Recursive Least Squares With Kalman Filter (RLS-KF) Applied to a Robotic Manipulator

Abstract

The field of robotics has grown a lot over the years due to the increasing necessity of industrial production and the search for quality of industrialized products. The identification of a system requires that the model output be as close as possible to the real one, in order to improve the control system. Some hybrid identification methods can improve model estimation through computational intelligence techniques, mainly improving the limitations of a given linear technique. This paper presents as a main contribution a hybrid algorithm for the identification of industrial robotic manipulators based on the recursive least square (RLS) method, which has its matrix of regressors and vector of parameters optimized via the Kalman filter (KF) method (RLS-KF). It is also possible to highlight other contributions, which are the identification of a robotic joint driven by a three-phase induction motor, the comparison of the RLS-KF algorithm with RLS and extended recursive least square (ERLS) and the generation of the transfer function by each method. The results are compared with the well-known recursive least squares and extended recursive least squares considering the criteria of adjustable coefficient of determination (R 2 a ) and computational cost. The RLS-KF showed better results compared to the other two algorithms (RLS and ERLS). All methods have generated their respective transfer functions.

Min–Max Optimal Control of Robot Manipulators Affected by Sensor Faults

“…Figure 3 shows the considered structure of a robot manipulator. The structure of a robot manipulator of this type was also the subject of consideration in [ 60 , 61 ]; however, for the sake of completeness, in this paper a more detailed derivation of the mathematical model is presented. Detailed expressions for kinetic and potential energy, and parameters that define the bounds of the robot’s dynamic properties, are given (see Appendix B and Appendix C ).…”

LEACH-MTC: A Network Energy Optimization Algorithm Constraint as Moving Target Prediction

“…The motion model of target and the measurement model of target are represented as Equations ( 2) and ( 3), and they constitute a nonlinear detection system. They are nonlinear functions, thus the standard Kalman filter (KF) is no longer applicable, and the nonlinear filtering problem needs to be approximated as a linear filtering problem, so that a suboptimal solution is obtained [20,21]. Therefore, the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) can be considered to predict or estimate the target state [22].…”

State of charge estimation of ultracapacitor based on forgetting factor recursive least square and extended Kalman filter algorithm at full temperature range

“…The extended (EKF) and unscented (UKF) Kalman filter algorithms are also applied despite their high complexity and computational cost [37] , [38] , [39] . Some researchers combine the two algorithms using a computer language to form an intelligent optimization algorithm, identify parameters of the battery model, solve the limitation of the linear relationship of the model, and improve the estimation accuracy of model parameters [40] . The accuracy of parameter identification results are insufficient because the simple RLS fails to track parameter changes effectively while other algorithms also demonstrate some limitations.…”
