Cartesian impedance control of redundant robots: recent results with the DLR-light-weight-arms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of impedance control for flexible joint robots based on a singular perturbation approach. Some aspects of the impedance controller, which turned out to be of high practical relevance during applications are then addressed, such as the implementation of nullspace stiffness for redundant manipulators, the avoiding of mass matrix decoupling and the related design of the desired damping matrix. Finally, the proposed methods are validated through measurements on the DLR robot.

Cartesian Impedance Control Techniques for Torque Controlled Light-Weight Robots
The paper compares various approaches to implementing a compliant Cartesian behavior for robotic manipulators: impedance, admittance and stiffness control. A new controller structure is proposed, which consists of an impedance controller enhanced by local stiffness control. This structure consistently takes into account the two time scale property of the joint and Cartesian control loops. The D...
متن کاملA Unified Passivity Based Control Framework for Position, Torque and Impedance Control of Flexible Joint Robots
In this paper we describe a general passivity based framework for the control of flexible joint robots. Herein the recent DLR results on torque-, position-, as well as impedance control of flexible joint robots are summarized, and the relations between the individual contributions are highlighted. It is shown that an inner torque feedback loop can be incorporated into a passivity based analysis...

متن کاملSoft Robotics: From Torque Feedback Controlled Lightweight Robots to Intrinsically Compliant Systems
After decades of intensive research, it seems that we get closer to the time when robots will finally leave the cages of industrial robotic workcells and start working in the vicinity of and together with humans. This is not only believed by robotics researchers, but meanwhile also by leading automotive and IT companies, and of course by some clear-sighted industrial robot manufacturers. Severa...
