Then a direct dynamic identification model of payload is built, a set of specialized novel exciting trajectories are designed for accurate identification and the least square method is applied for the estimation of the load parameters.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The experiments confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in robot payload identification. The identification accuracy is greatly improved compared with that of existing methods based on the actuator current and is close to the accuracy of the methods that direct use the wrist-mounted force-torque sensor.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>As the provided experiments indicate, the proposed method expands the application range and greatly improves the accuracy, hence making payload identification fully operational in the industrial application.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The novelty of such an identification method is that it does not require the rotor inertias and inertial parameters of links as a prior knowledge, and the specially designed trajectories provide completed decoupling of the load parameters.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ir-03-2018-0037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,27]],"date-time":"2018-07-27T08:43:20Z","timestamp":1532681000000},"page":"505-515","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["An
