Robotic Force Control using Observer-based Strict Positive Real Impedance Control

This paper presents theoretical and experimentalresults on observer-based impedance control for forcecontrol without velocity feedback. As the velocity may notavailable to measurement, which is often the case for industrialrobots, an observer was designed to reconstruct velocityin such a way that it be useful for stabilizing feedbackcontrol and to modification of the damping in the impedancerelationship. A good model of the robot joint used wasobtained by system identification. Experiments were carriedout on an ABB industrial robot 2000 to demonstrate resultson observer-based SPR feedback applied in the design.Stability was shown via a modified Popov criterion

Advanced Strategies for Robot Manipulators

Amongst the robotic systems, robot manipulators have proven themselves to be of increasing importance and are widely adopted to substitute for human in repetitive and/or hazardous tasks. Modern manipulators are designed complicatedly and need to do more precise, crucial and critical tasks. So, the simple traditional control methods cannot be efficient, and advanced control strategies with considering special constraints are needed to establish. In spite of the fact that groundbreaking researches have been carried out in this realm until now, there are still many novel aspects which have to be explored
