Abstract

In this paper we will introduce the hardware and the basic control algorithm of a newly developed manipulator. It has an articulated configuration with seven degrees of freedom. Each joint is directly driven by either one or two D. C. torque motors. In order to solve the problem of a gravity effect we have equipped the first and the second joints with an active gravity compensation mechanism, which consists of an exclusive actuator and a torque sensor. By introducing this mechanism, the manipulator can hold up to a 5 Kg load.
