Abstract
This paper presents the modeling of the light-weight BioRob robot arm with series elastic actuation for simulation and controller design. We describe the kinematic coupling introduced by the cable actuation and the robot arm dynamics including the elastic actuator and motor and gear model. We show how the inverse dynamics model derived from these equations can be used as a basis for a position tracking controller that is able to sufficiently damp the oscillations caused by the high, nonlinear joint elasticity. We presents results from simulation and briefly describe the implementation for a real world application.
