Extending a constrained hybrid dynamics solver for energy-optimal robot motions in the presence of static friction

  • Friction effects impose a requirement for the supplementary amount of torque to be produced in actuators for a robot to move, which in turn increases energy consumption. We cannot eliminate friction, but we can optimize motions to make them more energy efficient, by considering friction effects in motion computations. Optimizing motions means computing efficient joint torques/accelerations based on different friction torques imposed in each joint. Existing friction forces can be used for supporting certain types of arm motions, e.g standing still. Reducing energy consumption of robot's arms will provide many benefits, such as longer battery life of mobile robots, reducing heat in motor systems, etc. The aim of this project is extending an already available constrained hybrid dynamic solver, by including static friction effects in the computations of energy optimal motions. When the algorithm is extended to account for static friction factors, a convex optimization (maximization) problem must be solved. The author of this hybrid dynamic solver has briefly outlined the approach for including static friction forces in computations of motions, but without providing a detailed derivation of the approach and elaboration that will show its correctness. Additionally, the author has outlined the idea for improving the computational efficiency of the approach, but without providing its derivation. In this project, the proposed approach for extending the originally formulated algorithm has been completely derived and evaluated in order to show its feasibility. The evaluation is conducted in simulation environment with one DOF robot arm, and it shows correct results from the computation of motions. Furthermore, this project presents the derivation of the outlined method for improving the computational efficiency of the extended solver.
