Abstract
Systems and methods for estimating an inertia, a Coulomb friction coefficient, and a viscous friction coefficient for a controlled mechanical system are provided. In one or more embodiments, an inertia and friction estimation system can generate a torque command signal that varies continuously over time during a testing sequence. The velocity of a motion system in response to the time-varying torque command signal is measured and recorded during the testing sequence. The estimation system then estimates the inertia and the friction coefficients of the motion system based on the torque command data sent to the motion system and the measured velocity data. In some embodiments, the estimation system estimates the inertia and the friction coefficients based on integrals of the torque command data and the velocity data.
