Title: Simultaneous control of robot manipulator impedance and generalized force and position
Abstract: Certain industrial tasks require forces to be applied to objects during task execution. Of these tasks, a subset of them may be completed successfully with only crude control over contact force. A open-loop method of force control is proposed for these applications. This method utilizes the impedance control of Hogan to achieve open-loop control over generalized contact forces and position. The net result is simultaneous control of manipulator mechanical impedance and the generalized position and the force of the robot. An algorithm is proposed which determines the manipulator generalized position inputs, the only signal available to an impedance controller, in order to generate prescribed generalized forces while in contact with fixed objects. A new approach to the establishment of the stability of impedance controls during object contact is given, utilizing the theory of singularly perturbed dynamic systems. Experimental results on a two degree-of-freedom robot confirms the validity of the approach proposed here to control contact forces in an open-loop manner.
