Newton Euler Method

Module 8 Lecture 5

Basic formulation

• Force and moment balance on individual links of the manipulator.• Forward recursion is performed for propagating link velocities and • Forward recursion is performed for propagating link velocities and

accelerations• A backward recursion for propagating forces.• The forces and moments to be considered are:

– fi force exerted by Link i − 1 on Link i,– - fi+1 force exerted by Link i + 1 on Link i,– μi moment exerted by Link i − 1 on Link i with respect to origin of Frame i − 1,– -μi+1 moment exerted by Link i + 1 on Link i with respect to origin of Frame i.

Basic Equations

Rate of change of link momentum

• The S matrix can be used to compute cross products.

• The second of the terms is called a • The second of the terms is called a gyroscopic moment as it is due to change in moment of inertia due to link orientation.

Setup

• Initial conditions for the velocities and accelerations:

• Note that physically, lC1 and lC2 are negative quantities• The rotation matrices needed for vector transformation from

one frame to another are:

Forward recursion on link 2

Backward Recursion

• Moment components marked by ‘ ’ need not be computed since they are not related to the joint torques t2 and t1

• Backward recursion link 1

Simplification

Last words

• The Lagrange formulation has the following advantages:advantages:– Systematic and of immediate comprehension.– Equations of motion in a compact analytical form

containing the inertia matrix, the matrix in the centrifugal and Carioles forces, and the vector of gravitational forces.

– Advantageous for control– Design.– Design.– Effective if it is wished to include more complex

mechanical effects such as flexible link deformation.• The Newton–Euler formulation is an inherently

recursive method that is computationally efficient.
