Abstract:Based on the non-recursive formulation for the manipulator inverse dynamics developed in this paper and the method 1 of Walker and Orin[1],this paper presents a parallel algorithm oriented to O(n) multiprocessors for the manipulator inertia matrix.As an example, the first three links of a PUMA560 robot are considered, and the computational efficiency is compared with other published methods.
