Joint Stiffness Identification of a Heavy Kuka Robot with a Low-cost Clamped End-effector Procedure
, 2014 This paper proposes two new methods for the identification of static stiffnesses of multi degrees of freedom heavy industrial robots. They are based on a locked link joint procedure obtained with an end-effector fixed to the environment. The first method
