Abstract
Reliable force control is one of the key components of modern robotic teleoperation. The performance of these systems in terms of safety and stability largely depends on the controller design, as it is desired to account for various disturbing conditions, such as uncertainties of the model parameters or latency-induced problems. This work presents a polytopic qLPV model derived from a previously verified nonlinear soft tissue model, along with a model-based force control scheme that involves a tensor product polytopic state feedback controller.
The derivation is based on the Tensor Product (TP) Model
Transformation. The proposed force control scheme is verified and evaluated through numerical simulations. Index Terms—Soft tissue modeling, telesurgery control, Polytopic model based control, TP Model Transformation, qLPV modeling, LMI-based controller design
