Abstract: The dynamic models that represent robotic systems greatly condition the strategies used for the design of their control systems. The accuracy of the model parameter values can have a significant impact on the closed-loop system performance. This paper proposes an innovative method for the online parameter identification (IOPI) of a non-holonomic mobile robot. The proposed method enables to find the inertia accurately, mass and friction parameters in the robot's model and it does not require the drive wheel input torques to be sufficiently rich signals. The identification algorithm is based on the resolution of a system of linearly independent equations. The number of equations is equal to the number of unknown parameters to be estimated. The simulation results show that with the proposed method, the estimated parameters quickly converge to the real parameters of the non-holonomic mobile robot, contrary to the recursive least squares (RLS) method.
