An Opticalmechanics Framework for Dynamic Estimation of Multibody Systems
Researchers have developed a new opticalmechanics framework for estimating the dynamics of multibody systems without direct contact force sensors. This approach uses image-measured kinematic data as non-contact inputs to a constrained multibody model. A genetic algorithm identifies unknown joint torques by minimizing discrepancies between predicted and measured kinematics, demonstrating potential for dynamic estimation in challenging environments.
