🤖 AI Summary
To address low modeling accuracy, poor generalizability, and heavy reliance on labeled data in friction torque estimation for robotic collaboration, this paper proposes a physics-informed, meta-learning-based data-driven online adaptive modeling method. The approach integrates a differentiable physical layer—incorporating Coulomb and viscous friction priors—with LSTM-based temporal modeling, Bayesian uncertainty quantification, and lightweight online gradient updates. It enables rapid cross-dynamic-condition model adaptation from minimal new-task data (few-shot). Evaluated on six robotic arm joints, the method reduces average prediction error by 62% and achieves deployment latency under 5 ms, satisfying real-time closed-loop control requirements. Key contributions include: (1) a physics-guided meta-learning framework; (2) an end-to-end differentiable modeling architecture; and (3) an efficient, edge-deployable online adaptation mechanism.
