Control of Cooperative Manipulators with Passive Joints
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of the control of cooperative manipulators with passive joints and rigidly connected to a solid object is addressed in this paper. Passive joints can appear due to free-swinging joint failures or can be an intrinsic characteristic of the robots. A hybrid control of motion and squeeze force is proposed. For this purpose, a Jacobian matrix relating velocities in the actuated joints and load velocity is obtained based on the kinematic constraints of the cooperative system. Results of the control system applied in simulations and in real robots are presented.

Cooperation control of multiple manipulators with passive joints
This paper studies the problem of modeling and control of multiple cooperative underactuated manipulators handling a rigid object. A single underactuated manipulator is a nonholonomic system in most cases, but cooperative underactuated manipulator systems may not. We reveal holonomic property of such a system by presenting a smooth feedback controller subject to two conditions: 1) there are not...
متن کاملFault Tolerance in Cooperative Manipulators
The problem of fault tolerance in cooperative manipulators rigidly connected to a solid object is addressed in this paper. Four faults are considered: free-swinging joint faults, locked joint faults, incorrect measured joint position, and incorrect measured joint velocity. The faults are first detected by a fault detection and isolation system. Freeswinging and locked joint faults are isolated ...
متن کاملRobust control of cooperative underactuated manipulators
We propose in this work the first model-based robust control method for a team of underactuated manipulators jointly manipulating a load. The method is based on feedback linearization of the nonlinear dynamic coupling between the torques applied at the actuated joints and the Cartesian acceleration of the load, combined with a variable structure controller. Singularities in the control method a...
متن کاملControl of Cooperative Underactuated Manipulators: A Robustness Comparison Study
In this article we present a comparison study of the robustness properties of three model-based nonlinear controllers for cooperative underactuated manipulators. Two of the controllers are based on feedback linearization of the nonlinear dynamic coupling between the torques applied at the actuated joints and the Cartesian acceleration of the load. The third is based on a gravity compensation sc...
متن کاملInverse Kinematics Resolution of Redundant Cooperative Manipulators Using Optimal Control Theory
The optimal path planning of cooperative manipulators is studied in the present research. Optimal Control Theory is employed to calculate the optimal path of each joint choosing an appropriate index of the system to be minimized and taking the kinematics equations as the constraints. The formulation has been derived using Pontryagin Minimum Principle and results in a Two Point Boundary Value Pr...
