In the present paper, the objective of hybrid impedance control is specified and a robust hybrid impedance control approach is proposed. Based on the concept of hybrid control, the task space is decomposed into position and force controlled subspaces. Impedance control is used in the position controlled subspace. Desired inertia and damping are applied in the force controlled subspace to meliorate the dynamic behavior of robot manipulator. Robust controller using the variable structure model reaching control (VSMRC) is introduced that can realize the objective impedance in the sliding mode in finite time. In order to overcome the chattering effect due to sliding mode approach, fuzzy logic methodology is employed in the control system. In addition, the reaching transient response is undertaken with prescribed quality. Simulating the control system for a 6DOF PUMA560 robot confirms the validity and effectiveness of the proposed control system.

Underwater vehicle speed control methodology method is the focus of research in this study. Driven by a hydraulic flexible traction system, the underwater vehicle advances steadily on underwater guide rails, simulating an underwater environment for the carried device. Considering the influence of steel rope viscoelasticity and the control system traction structure feature, a mathematical model of the underwater vehicle driven by hydraulic flexible traction system is established. A speed control strategy is then proposed based on the sliding mode variable structure of fuzzy reaching law, according to nonlinearity and external variable load of the vehicle speed control system. Sliding mode variable structure control theory for the nonlinear system allows an improved control effect for movements in “sliding mode” when compared with conventional control. The fuzzy control theory is also introduced, weakening output chattering caused by the sliding mode control switchover while producing high output stability. Matlab mathematical simulation and practical test verification indicate the speed control method as effective in obtaining accurate control results, thus inferring strong practical significance for engineering applications.

This paper addresses the problem of robust hybrid position and force control of robot manipulators. Variable structure control with sliding mode is used to implement the hybrid control strategy. Two variable structure control algorithms are developed in task space. One of the algorithms is based on hierarchical control method, and the other is developed for control of robot manipulators used to carried out both unconstrained and constrained tasks.

During robotic assembly and interactive applications, the robot end-effector must follow a motion trajectory and exert an appropriate force profile against the contacted environment to provide a specified dynamic working compliance. It is a difficult control problem. Here, an embedded robotic control structure is constructed and the related hybrid control software programs are developed. The model-free intelligent fuzzy sliding mode controller is introduced to design force and position controllers, respectively for hybrid impedance control purpose. The experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid impedance control system.

This paper describes a modular 2-DOF serial robot manipulator and accompanying experiments that have been developed to introduce students to the fundamentals of robot control. The robot is designed to be safe and simple to use, and to have just enough complexity (in terms of nonlinear dynamics) that it can be used to showcase and compare the performance of a variety of textbook robot control techniques including computed torque feedforward control, inverse dynamics control, robust sliding-mode control, and adaptive control. These various motion control schemes can be easily implemented in joint space or operational space using a MATLAB/Simulink real-time interface. By adding a simple 2-DOF force sensor to the end-effector, the robot can also be used to showcase a variety of force control techniques including impedance control, admittance control, and hybrid force/position control. The 2-DOF robots can also be used in pairs to demonstrate control architectures for multi-arm coordination and master/slave teleoperation. This paper will describe the 2-DOF robot and control hardware/software, illustrate the spectrum of robot control methods that can be implemented, and show sample results from these experiments.

In this paper, dynamic equations of a robot manipulator subject to compliant contact/impact with the environment are derived using nonlinear elastodynamic approach. Then, a sliding mode impedance algorithm is proposed to control compliant impact/contact dynamics of the robot manipulator with an arbitrary environment. Impact/contact phenomenon can be regarded as a perturbation due to an abrupt change of system’s velocity. Thus the need to have robust characteristics in such systems especially after impact seems to be evident. The performance of the proposed controller is compared against standard second order impedance controller through numerical simulation studies. Finally, simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
