In this paper the design of a multi-finger force-reflecting haptic interface device for teleoperational grasping is introduced. The haptic interface or “master” controller device is worn on the human operator’s hand and measured human finger positions are used to control the finger positions of a remote grasping manipulator or “slave” device. The slave may be a physical robotic grasping manipul...

Abstract. This paper introduces a master-slave control method of teleoperating a redundant manipulator with double handles. The master handles send motion commands in the form of increments. The mapping module transforms the commands into homogeneous matrices. And the slave manipulator links discrete motion commands in the mode of PVAT automatically, by inverse kinematics and fifth-order polyno...

This paper will address two issues associated with the implementation of a hydraulically powered dissimilar muster-slave teleoperated system. These issues are the overall system control architecture and the design of robust hydraulic servo controllers for the position control problem. Finally, a discussion of overall system performance on an actual teleoperated system will be presented. (Schill...

A four-channel data transmission structure has been suggested in the literature to achieve “transparency” for master-slave teleoperator systems under position control. In this paper, the result is generalized to include teleoperator systems that are under rate control or more general master-slave kinematic correspondence laws, such as a mixed position/rate mode. A one degree-of-freedom example ...

By analyzing the characteristics and applications of robotic at locally and abroad, specifies the importance of force feedback technology in the robotic system and describes the current development process of force feedback technology. The methods, design and implementation of the master/slave prototype surgical system along with force feedback facility are introduced. The basic materials is al...

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 op...

In this paper a trilateral Multi-Master-Single-Slave-System with control authority allocation between two human operators is proposed. The authority coefficient permits to slide the dominant role between the operators. They can simultaneously execute a task in a collaborative way or a trainee might haptically only observe the task, while an expert is in full control. The master devices are conn...

In this paper, an adaptive motion/force control based approach is proposed to control bilateral teleoperation systems under both position and rate control with arbitrary motion/force scaling. The master and the slave are treated separately, and are subject to independent adaptive motion/force control. A model of the human operator is incorporated into the dynamics of the master robot, while a m...
