Robotic End-Effector Impedance Control without Expensive Torque/Force Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel low-cost impedance control structure is proposed for monitoring the contact force between end-effector and environment without installing an expensive force/torque sensor. Theoretically, the end-effector contact force can be estimated from the superposition of each joint control torque. There have a nonlinear matrix mapping function between each joint motor control input and end-effector actuating force/torques vector. This new force control structure can be implemented based on this estimated mapping matrix. First, the robot end-effector is manipulated to specified positions, then the force controller is actuated based on the hall sensor current feedback of each joint motor. The model-free fuzzy sliding mode control (FSMC) strategy is employed to design the position and force controllers, respectively. All the hardware circuits and software control programs are designed on an Altera Nios II embedded development kit to constitute an embedded system structure for a retrofitted Mitsubishi 5 DOF robot. Experimental results show that PI and FSMC force control algorithms can achieve reasonable contact force monitoring objective based on this hardware control structure. Keywords—Robot, impedance control, fuzzy sliding mode control, contact force estimator.

متن کاملSix-DOF impedance control based on angle/axis representations
Impedance control is a well-established framework to manage the interaction of the end effector of a robot manipulator with the environment. For the execution of six-degree-offreedom (DOF) tasks, both the end-effector position and orientation must be handled. The operational space control schemes typically utilize minimal representations of end-effector orientation; however, such representation...

Here we present a method for high-precision drilling using an industrial robot with high-bandwidth force feedback, which is used for building up pressure to clamp-up an end-effector to the work-piece surface prior to drilling. The focus is to eliminate the sliding movement (skating) of the end-effector during the clamp-up of the end-effector to the work-piece surface, an undesired effect that i...
