Résumé
The works focus on the identification of industrial robots that belongs to the field of the identification of
continuous-time inverse dynamic models in closed loop. First, a generic instrumental approach relevant
for the identification of rigid industrial robots is proposed. The set of instruments is the inverse dynamic
model constructed from simulated data calculated from the simulation of the direct dynamic model. This
algorithm termed the IDIM-IV method validates the inverse and direct dynamic models simultaneously,
improves the noise immunity of estimates with respect to corrupted data in the observation matrix and
has a rapid convergence. This new approach is experimentally validated and compared with other
standard methods. Then, a statistical test able to assess the validity of the set of instruments as well as the
consistency of the least-squares estimates is presented. This test is based on the use of the Two-StageLeast-Squares method and the regressed Durbin-Wu-Hausman test that are commonly used in
econometrics. Finally, the perspectives that the IDIM-IV method can offer to the communities of robotics
and automatic control are enlightened.
