Passive Velocity Field Control (pvfc) Approach to Robot Force Control and Contour Following
نویسندگان
چکیده
A passive velocity field control (PVFC) approach is proposed to achieve simultaneous contour following, and force profile tracking control. The approach has the unique features that 1) it is energetically passive so that when it physically interacts with an object, safety and contact stability properties are enhanced; 2) contour following task is coded using a velocity field instead of the a timed trajectory approach so that the coordination aspect of these tasks is explicit. Previous application of PVFC to contour following has shown that it has good contour tracking accuracies and robustness properties, especially at high speeds. The present paper combines an integral force controller with PVFC. The combined controller is ensured to be passive, and various modifications have been proposed to further enhance robustness to alleviate impact, and to ensure that the controller is numerically well conditioned.

Passive velocity field control (PVFC). Part II. Application to contour following
In contour following applications, the various degrees of freedom of a mechanical system have to be well coordinated, but very often, the speed at which the contour is followed is not critical. Moreover, in the context of machining, the system has to interact closely with its physical environment. When the contour following task is represented by a velocity field on the configuration manifold o...
متن کاملPassive velocity field control (PVFC). Part I. Geometry and robustness
Passive velocity field control (PVFC) is a control methodology for fully actuated mechanical systems, in which the motion task is specified behaviorally in terms of a velocity field (as opposed to a timed trajectory), and the closed-loop system is passive with respect to a supply rate given by the environment power input. It is intended for safety critical and coordination intensive application...

In this paper, a passive bilateral control law is proposed for a teleoperator consisting of a pair of n-DOF nonlinear robotic systems. The control law ensures energetic passivity of the closed-loop teleoperator with power scaling, coordinates motions of the master and slave robots, and installs useful task-specific dynamics for inertia scaling, motion guidance and obstacle avoidance. Consequent...
