Analysis of discrete dynamic robot models

Abstract

The discrete shift-transformation matrix of general orthogonal polynomials is introduced. The discrete shift-transformation matrix is employed to transform the difference equations, which describe the discrete dynamic robot model, into algebraic equations. Several lemmas are introduced which, together with the discrete shift-transformation matrix, solve for the joint positions and velocities of discrete dynamic robot models via discrete orthogonal polynomials approximations. The initial numerical experiment with a cylindrical coordinate robot shows the feasibility and applicability of discrete orthogonal polynomials approximations.
