Virtual Impedance

We propose a cascaded impedance control algorithm based on a virtual dynamics model (VDM) to achieve robust and effective mechanical impedance for a robot interacting with unknown environments. This cascaded controller consists of an internal loop of virtual impedance control based on a VDM and an external loop of impedance reference control. The VDM-based virtual impedance control can achieve the same effect as the conventional admittance control; its intermediate output of force/torque serves as the input for the external loop reference impedance control. Therefore, this cascaded controller shows superior performance by combining the advantages of admittance control and impedance control. We evaluate the controller in multiple-contact experiments on a six-degrees of freedom (6-DOF) industrial robot manipulator. The result shows that under various contact situations such as soft and rigid surfaces and free space, the proposed method can rapidly track the target and effectively maintain stability. In the experiments conducted on the robot in contact with various environments, the proposed control method reduced the steady-state error by more than 20% compared with the conventional admittance control.

Human Robot Collaboration

In this article, we aim to achieve manual guidance of a robot manipulator to perform tasks that require strict path following and would benefit from collaboration with a human to guide the motion. The robot can be used as a tool to increase the accuracy of a human operator while remaining compliant with the human instructions. We propose a dual-loop control structure where the outer admittance control loop allows the robot to be compliant along a path considering the projection of the external force to the tangential-normal-binormal (TNB) frame associated with the path. The inner motion control loop is designed based on a modified sliding mode control (SMC) law. We evaluate the system behavior to forces applied from different directions to the end-effector of a 6-DOF industrial robot in a linear motion test. Next, a second test using a 3D path as a tracking task is conducted, where we specify three interaction types: free motion (FM), force-applied motion (FAM), and combined motion with virtual forces (CVF). Results show that the difference of root mean square error (RMSE) among the cases is less than 0.1 mm, which proves the feasibility of applying this method for various path-tracking applications in compliant human–robot collaboration.

PD control method is widely utilized for the dynamic characteristics controlling in industrial robot manipulator area. The disturbance is usually uncertain in reality; the traditional PD controller is limited in that case. In this paper, a PD robust controller is introduced to optimize the convergence and stability of PD controller and avoid the extreme initial driving torque for two-link manipulator system. Using the co-simulation on Matlab/ Simulink and ADAMS, the paper designs a PD robust controller under uncertain upper bound disturbance and completes track control and driving torque simulation trial. The superiority of the two-link manipulators PD robust controller is verified through result comparison and analysis.

The Cost

Currently, the penetration of industrial robots into all sectors of the economy is increasing. However, there is an acute problem of conducting preliminary tests. The use of the digital twin as a replacement for the industrial robot is driven by high economic costs. In order to reduce the cost of the project, a solution is proposed to conduct preliminary tests on the developed model. The article developed a mathematical model of one of the drives of the industrial robot manipulator Yaskawa Motoman MH50-35. The model is suitable for researching the movement of the robot' tool. A mathematical description of a permanent magnet synchronous motor SGMJV-09A in a rotating coordinate system is given and a block diagram of the power part of the drive is made. A system for regulating the position of the robot's tool with a nonlinear position controller has been synthesized. Based on the results of modeling the operation of an electric drive in the Matlab Simulink environment, the degree of correspondence of the developed model to a real object was assessed and conclusions were drawn about the limits of its applicability for studying the operation of an electric drive of a robotic arm. The accuracy of working out the task for turning the wrist is 0.0001 rad, there is no overshoot in position, and the time for completing a full turn of the tool is 1.07 s.

Robotics is a relatively new and evolving technology being applied to manufacturing automation and is fast replacing the special-purpose machines or hard automation as it is often called. Demands for higher productivity, better and uniform quality products, and better working environments are primary reasons for its development. An industrial robot is a multifunctional and computer-controlled mechanical manipulator exhibiting a complex and highly nonlinear behavior. Even though most current robots have anthropomorphic configurations, they have far inferior manipulating abilities compared to humans. A great deal of research effort is presently being directed toward improving their overall performance by using optimal mechanical structures and control strategies. The optimal design of robot manipulators can include kinematic performance characteristics such as workspace, accuracy, repeatability, and redundancy. The static load capacity as well as dynamic criteria such as generalized inertia ellipsoid, dynamic manipulability, and vibratory response have also been considered in the design stages. The optimal control problems typically involve trajectory planning, time-optimal control, energy-optimal control, and mixed-optimal control. The constraints in a robot manipulator design problem usually involve link stresses, actuator torques, elastic deformation of links, and collision avoidance. This paper presents a review of the literature on the issues of optimum design and control of robotic manipulators and also the various optimization techniques currently available for application to robotics.

Effective Stability

A hybrid impedance control scheme for the force and position control of an end-effector is presented in this paper. The interaction of the end-effector is controlled using a passive foundation with compensation gain. For obtaining the steady state, a proportional–integral–derivative controller is tuned with an impedance controller. The hybrid impedance controller is implemented on a terrestrial (ground) single-arm robot manipulator. The modeling is done by creating a bond graph model and efficacy is substantiated through simulation results. Further, the hybrid impedance control scheme is applied on a two-link flexible arm underwater robot manipulator for welding applications. Underwater conditions, such as hydrodynamic forces, buoyancy forces, and other disturbances, are considered in the modeling. During interaction, the minimum distance from the virtual wall is maintained. A simulation study is carried out, which reveals some effective stability of the system.

Robotic Application

In this paper, an application of a non-linear H∞ control law for an industrial robot manipulator is presented. Control of the manipulator motion is formulated into a non-linear H∞ optimization problem, namely optimal tracking performance in the presence of modelling uncertainties and external disturbances. Analytical solutions for this problem are implemented on a real robot. The robot under consideration is the six-degrees-of-freedom GEC Tetrabot. Investigations are made into the selection of weights for the H∞ controller and it is shown how different selections of weights affect the Tetrabot performance. The authors believe this to be the first robotic application of nonlinear H∞ control. Comparisons of the proposed control strategy with conventional proportional-derivative and proportional-integral-derivative controllers show favourable performance of the Tetrabot under the new non-linear H∞ control scheme.
