Abstract

This paper develops a contact-control scheme for multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) robot arms that relies on dynamic impedance to jointly improve precision, stability, and robustness. Classical impedance controllers keep stiffness, damping, and inertia fixed, which limits how well they adapt as operating conditions change. Here an impedance model is built specifically around the end-effector, and position control is refined by adding force-based corrections to the desired position along the force- controlled axes. Dynamic impedance is realized by tying the impedance parameters to the joint angles and angular velocities, using the final value theorem together with quadratic-form transient-response analysis. The resulting method is validated in MATLAB/Simulink through wall-wiping simulations performed with a 6-DOF RPY-type robot.

Active Stiffness Control of a Supportive Continuum Robot

Supportive continuum robots (SCRs) enhance the load-bearing capability of an operative continuum robot by mechanically coupling it with a supportive arm. However, their passive stiffness is determined by the mechanical configuration and cannot be adjusted online for varying payloads or interaction forces. Active stiffn...

Data Driven Impedance Control of Space Robot Capturing a Target with Model Uncertainties

The space manipulator system needs to be autonomous to perform on-orbit operations such as satellite servicing, refueling, and active debris removal, especially the removal of non-cooperative space targets (NCSTs). The impact phase is the most critical, as the end effector must maintain stable contact with the NCST to...

Development of a 6-DOF Fedundantly-Actuated 12-Legged Parallel Manipulator for Heavy-Load Applications

This paper presents the design and modeling of a new 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) 12-legged parallel manipulator (PM). A vector method is adopted to establish the kinematics model of the PM. The dynamics model is then developed using the principle of virtual work and the pseudo-inverse. Under equivalent conditions, the m...
