Latest Patents

Holmstrand holds a patent for a "Method, constraining device and system for determining geometric properties of a manipulator." This invention involves a method and system that allows for the determination of geometric properties by controlling the manipulator to perform constrained motions. These motions exhibit force interactions with the environment or between different links of the manipulator, forming a mechanical kinematic chain. The system includes a constraining device that facilitates motions to determine geometric properties accurately. A unified model of joint and link compliances is employed to determine stiffness parameters. The invention also accounts for friction in force interactions, enabling the identification of non-geometric properties and improving overall accuracy.
