High precision control of industrial robot based on flexible joint response model

For industrial robots, their repetition accuracy is high, but their absolute accuracy and trajectory accuracy are low, which limits the application of industrial robots in more scenarios. Current solutions mainly address precision issues caused by static errors through adjustments in kinematic parameters. Approaches such as dynamic feedforward control, torque computation methods, intelligent control, dual encoder control, visual servoing, etc., are employed to enhance dynamic tracking accuracy, yet they commonly suffer from insufficient precision, poor robustness, high costs, and usability challenges. In response to the difficulty in reducing dynamic errors, this paper proposes a high-precision control technique based on compensating for flexible joint responses. By compensating for deviations in flexible joint responses, the trajectory precision at the end-effector of industrial robots is improved.
