In this paper, we propose the use of a nonlinear disturbance-observer for estimation of contact forces during haptic interactions. Most commonly used impedance-type haptic interfaces employ open-loop force control under the assumption of pseudostatic interactions. Advanced force control in such interfaces can increase simulation fidelity through improvement of the transparency of the device. However, closed-loop force feedback is limited both due to the bandwidth limitations of force sensing and the associated cost of force sensors required for its implementation. Using a disturbance-observer, we estimate contact forces at the tool tip, then use these estimates for closed-loop control of the haptic interface. Simulation and experimental results, utilizing a custom single degree-of-freedom haptic interface, are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed disturbance-observer (DO)-based control approach. This approach circumvents the traditional drawbacks of force sensing while exhibiting the advantages of closed-loop force control in haptic devices. Results show that the proposed disturbance-observer can reliably estimate contact forces at the human-robot interface. The DO-based control approach is experimentally shown to improve haptic interface fidelity over a purely open-loop display while maintaining stable and vibration-free interactions between the human user and virtual environment.

The trajectory-tracking performance of the automobile electro-coating conveying mechanism is severely interrupted by highly nonlinear crossing couplings, unmodeled dynamics, parameter variation, friction, and unknown external disturbance. In this article, a sliding mode control with a nonlinear disturbance observer is proposed for high-accuracy motion control of the conveying mechanism. The nonlinear disturbance observer is designed to estimate not only the internal/external disturbance but also the model uncertainties. Based on the output of the nonlinear disturbance observer, a sliding mode control approach is designed for the hybrid series–parallel mechanism. Then, the stability of the closed-loop system is proved by means of a Lyapunov analysis. Finally, simulations with typical desired trajectory are presented to demonstrate the high performance of the proposed composite control scheme.

This paper proposes an approach by logarithm to evaluating the electrical vehicle traction force control directly instead of the slip ratio measurements. Utilizing the built character database of the driven motor, or so-called current-RPM-torque database, a gain-scheduled approach by logarithm transformation is developed to provide the appropriate traction force while one traction wheel of the vehicle is traveling into different road surface. An illustrated simulation with a scenario close to real situation is also given to show the feasibility to evaluate and control the traction force through the database of the motor.
