A force–impedance controlled industrial robot using an active robotic auxiliary device
نویسندگان
چکیده
A strategy to improve the performance of current commercial industrial robots is presented in this paper. This strategy involves cooperation of two robotic manipulators: the robotic controlled impedance device (RCID) and a commercial industrial robot. The RCID is a small six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) high bandwidth force–impedance controlled parallel manipulator, developed at the School of Engineering of the University of Porto (Portugal). The RCID works attached in series with a position controlled commercial industrial robot. Combination of the two manipulators behaves as a single manipulator having the impedance and force control dynamic performance of the RCID, as well as the workspace and trajectory tracking bandwidth of the industrial robot. Force–impedance control of the RCID, and experimental results on typical tasks that involve end-effector contact with uncertain environments of unknown stiffness are presented. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Joystick Teaching System for Industrial Robots Using Fuzzy Compliance Control
Industrial robots have been applied to several tasks, such as handling, assembling, painting, deburring and so on (Ferretti et al., 2000), (Her & Kazerooni, 1991), (Liu, 1995), (Takeuchi et al., 1993), so that they have been spread to various fields of manufacturing industries. However, as for the user interface of the robots, conventional teaching systems using a teaching pendant are only prov...
متن کاملImplicit Force Control of a Position Controlled Robot – A Comparison with Explicit Algorithms
This paper investigates simple implicit force control algorithms realizable with industrial robots. A lot of approaches already published are difficult to implement in commercial robot controllers, because the access to the robot joint torques is necessary or the complete dynamic model of the manipulator is used. In the past we already deal with explicit force control of a position controlled r...
متن کاملForcefree Control for Flexible Motion of Industrial Articulated Robot Arms
Many industrial robot arms are operated in industry, and some robotic applications in the industry, such as a pulling-out of products made by die casting, require the flexible motion excited by an external force. Here, the flexible motion means that the robot arm moves passively according to the external force. Industrial robot arms, however, are difficult to be moved by the external force beca...
متن کاملForce/Torque Sensing Applied to Industrial Robotic Deburring
Force/Torque sensing is very important for several automatic and industrial robotic applications. Basically, if precise control of the forces that arise from contact between tools and parts is required to successfully complete the automatic task, then a force/torque sensor is needed along with some force/torque control technique. In this paper we focus on force/torque sensing aspects applied to...
متن کاملApplication of Model Reference Adaptive Control to Industrial Robot Impedance Control
The paper deals with the application of model reference adaptive control to robot impedance control, which is actually a technique of steering the end-effector on a prescribed path and satisfying a prescribed dynamic relationship between the force and the end-effector position. Due to unknown parameters of the environment (stiffness, exact position), a model reference algorithm is proposed whic...
