Natural Frequencies Identification by FEM Applied to a 2-DOF Planar Robot and Its Validation Using MUSIC Algorithm

In this paper, the natural frequencies (NFs) identification by finite element method (FEM) is applied to a two degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) planar robot, and its validation through a novel experimental methodology, the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm, is presented. The experimental platforms are two different 2-DOF planar robots with different materials for the links and different types of actuators. The FEM is carried out using ANSYS™ software for the experiments, with vibration signal analysis by MUSIC algorithm. The advantages of the MUSIC algorithm against the commonly used fast Fourier transform (FFT) method are also presented for a synthetic signal contaminated by three different noise levels. The analytical and experimental results show that the proposed methodology identifies the NFs of a high-resolution robot even when they are very closed and when the signal is embedded in high-level noise. Furthermore, the results show that the proposed methodology can obtain a high-frequency resolution with a short sample data set. Identifying the NFs of robots is useful for avoiding such frequencies in the path planning and in the selection of controller gains that establish the bandwidth.
