Abstract

A method of accommodating a payload and determining a working environment in a robotic system is disclosed. The method is directed to using a motor current measurement taken at the axis motors of a robotic system to calculate various parameters including payload balance, mass, moment of inertia, friction force and traction force. This measurement is based on the known relationship between motor current and motor torque.
