Steady-Hand Teleoperation with Virtual Fixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for implementing “steadyhand control” on teleoperators where the master device is of the impedance type. Typical steady-hand systems are admittance controlled cooperative robots that can implement very high damping. Such systems are ideal for implementing guidance virtual fixtures, which are constraints in software that assist a user in moving a tool along preferred paths. Our steady-hand teleoperation method implements a type of admittance control law on an impedance-type master, but requires no force sensor. Combined with guidance virtual fixtures, the system results in a slave device that is precisely constrained to preferred paths. Experimental results demonstrate the desirable behavior of the system. This research is applicable to impedance-type telemanipulation systems, particularly those used in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.

This paper proposed a novel spatial-motion-constraints virtual fixtures (VFs) method for the human-machine interface collaborative technique. In our method, two 3D flexible VFs have been presented: warning pipe and safe pipe. And a potential-collision-detection method based on two flexible VFs has been proposed. The safe pipe constructs the safe workspace dynamically for the robot, which makes ...

Pseudo-admittance is introduced as a novel bilateral telemanipulation system that is designed to mimic proportional-velocity admittance control on systems where the master is an impedance-type robot. The controller generalizes to systems with slave robots of the impedance or admittance type. Pseudo-admittance uses a proxy with admittance dynamics combined with direct force feedback from the sla...
