Two-Degrees-Of-Freedom Internal Model Position Control for Slave Manipulator Teleoperated by Master Arm

Recently, the more advanced control technologies are required to deal with the fast and accurate motion in manipulators. For these requirements, many manipulator control methods have been developed such as a computed torque method. This paper proposes a design method, a two-degrees-of-freedom internal model control (TDOF IMC), of the manipulator position control based on combination of the one-degree-of-freedom internal model control (ODOF IMC) system and the disturbance observer. The proposed control scheme is implemented for the position control, which leads the slave manipulator to the desired location by the master arm. The experimental results are presented and discussed through the imp...
