Method for Controlling Master-Slave Robots using Switching and Elastic Elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new type of master-slave control methodology, which has the merits of both unilateral and bilateral ones, is proposed. The methodology is built on switching the unilateral feedback controls of position and force as required using switching and elastic elements. Proposed methodology not only eliminates the demerits of bilateral control, but also supplies the mechanical force feedback to the operator. It utilizes a feature of human factor that direct displacement feedback is not as important as visual and force feedback. Effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by experiments using a developed simple single axis master-slave arm system. Driving test of the experimental devices and sensory evaluations are conducted. As a result, it is confirmed that the methodology successfully provides the sense of touch to the operator of the system. Keywords— Master-slave system, Force feedback, Control.

Neural Network Based Two Degrees-of-Freedom Design for Controlling Nonholonomic Mobile Robots
Virtual master-slave concept is proposed to realize a human-machine interface for nonholonomic systems. In this concept, the virtual master system acts as an interface to control the slave system. The control architecture using this concept is based on a two degrees-of-freedom (DOF) design, where the neural network (NN) constructs a feedforward controller, whereas a compensator acts as a feedba...
متن کاملHierarchical Multi-robot Coordination
The complexity and variety of household chores creates conflicting demands on the technical design of domestic robots. One solution for this problem is the coordination of several specialized robots based on the master-slave principle. One robot acts as a master system, tracking and remotely controlling the slave robots. This way, only the master robot needs to be equipped with sophisticated se...

A multiestimation-based adaptive controller is designed for robotic manipulators. Multiestimation based techniques can improve the transient response of adaptive systems by switching between the various estimation schemes. The switching process is subject to a minimum dwell or residence time in order to guarantee stability. Then, the multiestimation scheme is applied to the teleoperation of rob...
متن کاملBilateral Teleoperation of Flexible Surgical Robots
We introduce a position-exchange controller for bilateral teleoperation of flexible surgical robots. The controller requires the position of the master arm and the deformed shape of the slave arm, but no force information is required. The position-tracking controller of the master arm causes the master arm to follow the position of the tip of the slave arm. The position tracking controller of t...
