W. Khalil et F. Bennis, DIRECT CALCULATION OF MINIMUM SET OF INERTIAL PARAMETERS OF SERIAL ROBOTS - COMMENT, IEEE transactions on robotics and automation, 10(1), 1994, pp. 78-79
The paper presented by Gautier and Khalil [1] gives a direct and effic
ient method of calculating most of the minimum inertial parameters of
serial robots. Some parameters concerning the translational links betw
een the first two rotational joints that are not parallel need particu
lar calculation; partial results concerning the case where these links
are either perpendicular or parallel are given in the paper [1]. This
correspondence presents a direct solution of this particular case, su
ch that all the minimum inertial parameters can be obtained directly w
ithout calculating the energy or the dynamic model of any link.
