Identifying mass parameters for gravity compensation and automatic torque sensor calibration

This paper presents a new and simple procedure to identify link mass parameters used for gravity compensation and on-line automatic torque sensor calibration for a robot manipulator. The approach employs single-joint rotation and a recursive procedure that proceeds distally to proximally to identify composite mass moments. Experimental results on presented for the Sarcos Dextrous Arm.
