Dual-Motor Control for Backlash Reduction in Parallel-Kinematic Robot Joints
A new high-performance robot called the Gantry-Tau robot was developed by ABB Robotics, the Robotics Lab at Lund University and Güdel AG. This robot seemed promising in terms of speed, accuracy, stiffness and bandwidth of the motion control. However, the robot joints were based on the rack-and-pinion principle, which introduced significant backlash into the system. To solve this problem, it was pr
