Teaching Operation

This paper shows the design and modeling of an end effector with a bidirectional telescopic mechanism to allow a surgical assistant robot to hold and handle surgical instruments. It also presents a force-free control algorithm for the direct teaching of end effectors. The bidirectional telescopic mechanism can actively transmit force both upwards and downwards by staggering the wires on both sides. In order to estimate and control torque via motor current without a force/torque sensor, the gravity model and friction model of the device are derived through repeated experiments. The LuGre model is applied to the friction model, and the static and dynamic parameters are obtained using a curve fitting function and a genetic algorithm. Direct teaching control is designed using a force-free control algorithm that compensates for the estimated torque from the motor current for gravity and friction, and then converts it into a position control input. Direct teaching operation sensitivity is verified through hand-guiding experiments.

Contact Force Control

Walking algorithms using push-off improve moving efficiency and disturbance rejection performance. However, the algorithm based on classical contact force control requires an exact model or a Force/Torque sensor. This paper proposes a novel contact force control algorithm based on neural networks. The proposed model is adapted to a linear quadratic regulator for position control and balance. The results demonstrate that this neural network-based model can accurately generate force and effectively reduce errors without requiring a sensor. The effectiveness of the algorithm is assessed with the realistic test model. Compared to the Jacobian-based calculation, our algorithm significantly improves the accuracy of the force control. One step simulation was used to analyze the robustness of the algorithm. In summary, this walking control algorithm generates a push-off force with precision and enables it to reject disturbance rapidly.

In order to predict and analyse the behaviour of a real system, a simulated model is needed. The more accurate the model the better the response is when dealing with the real plant. This paper presents a model predictive position control of a Two Wheeled Inverted Pendulum robot. The model was developed by system identification using a grey box technique. Simulation results show superior performance of the gains computed using the grey box model as compared to common linearized mathematical model.
