20090076653METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING AND CONTROLLING MANIPULATORS - The invention relates to a method for adjusting and controlling an automatically controlled manipulator, for example a robot. This is often achieved with the aid of dynamic manipulator models, taking into account friction torques, which occur in gear mechanisms that are provided to displace axes of the manipulator. A model for the gear mechanism friction torque is determined for at least one axis, based on driven axis speeds and axis accelerations, in addition to a motor temperature on the drive side of one of the motors that is associated with the relevant axis, said model also being used to determine target values, such as a motor position or a motor current. The inventive method is characterised in that the gear mechanism friction torque that complies with the model is determined in accordance with a gear mechanism temperature. The invention also relates to a device that is suitable for carrying out said method and to the uses of a device of this type, According to the invention, the available motor output or the available motor torque can be specifically used in an optimal manner for the respective robot, thus improving the cycle time. The adjustment and driving behaviour is also improved.03-19-2009
