A hybrid position/force control scheme to regulate the force and position by dual arms is proposed where two arms are treated as one rm in a kinematic viewpoint. The force error calculated from the information of two force/torque sensors attached to the end of each arm is transferred to minimum configuration space coordinates and then is distributed to total system joint coordinates, The position adjustment at the total con-figuration coordinates is computed based on the effective compliance matrix with respect to total joint coordinates which is obtained by coordinate transformation between the task coordinates and the total joint coordinates. The proposed scheme is applied to sawing task. When the trajectory of the saw is planned to follow a line in a horizontal plane 2 position parameters are to be controlled(i.e., two translational positions) Also a certain level of contact force has to be controlled along the vertical direction(i.e. minus z-direction) not to loose the contact with the object to be sawn. We experimentally show that the performance of the velocity and force response are satisfactory. The proposed hybrid control scheme can be applied to arbitrary two cooperating arm system regardless of their kinematic structure and the number of actuated joints.

In this paper ,ie propose a hybrid position/force controller of a robot manipulator using double-layer neural network. Each layer is constructed from inverse dynamics and Jacobian transpose matrix, respectively. The weighting value of each neuron is trained by using a feedback force as an error signal. If the neural networks are sufficiently trained it does not require the feedback-loop with error signals. The effectiveness of the proposed hybrid position/force controller is demonstrated by computer simulation using a PUMA 560 manipulator.

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the performance of various force control algorithms in improving and adjusting the compliance of industrial robots in contact with their environment. Some of fundamental force control algorithms such as sensorless control, impedance control and hybrid position/force control are theoretically analyzed and simulated for various situations of an environment, and then a series of experiments using them were performed. In this paper, a control scheme to use position control in implementing the impedance control was investigated in order to nullify the effect of joint friction. The new reference trajectory is generated using contact force feedback and original desired trajectory. And an inner position control loop is designed to provide accurate position tracking for the new reference trajectory and good disturbance rejection. Experiments to insert a peg in a hole (so-called the peg-in-a-hole task) were performed with HILS (hardware-in-theloop simulation) system based on the results of the analyses and simulations on the characteristics of each control algorithm. The experiments showed that various force control methods improved the performance of robots in close contact with the environment by adjusting their compliance with respect to an arbitrary set of coordinates.

This hybrid position/force control for the dynamic walking of the biped robot is performed in this paper. After the biped robot was modeled with 14 degrees of freedom of the multibody dynamics, the equations of motion are constructed using velocity transformation technique. Then the inverse dynamic analysis is performed for determining the driving torques and the ground reaction forces. From this analysis, obtains the maximum ground contact force at the moment of contacting which act on the rear of the sole of swing leg and the distribution curve of the ground reaction. Because these maximum force and distribution type acts an important role to the stability of the whole dynamic walking, they are reduced and distributed smoothly by means of the trajectory of the modified ground reaction force. This new trajectory is used to the reference input for more stable dynamic walking of the whole walking region.

This paper proposes a simple and high performance hybrid position/force control of robots based on disturbance compensation by using the disturbance observer in task coordinate space. The disturbance observer linealizes system of robot manipulators in task coordinate space and realizes acceleration control. To realize the strict acceleration control, the disturbance observer whose input is a position signal by simple computation, works as if it were a disturbance detector. The inverse kinematics can be simplified, because the disturbance observer in task coordinate space compensates not only the disturbance but also the error due to the simplification of the inverse kinematics. The new strategy is applied to a three-degrees-of freedom direct drive robot. The robust and simple hybrid position/force control is realized experimentally.

Robot position/force control has been a difficult task owing to the interaction between a robot and an environment with a rather high stiffness. In addition to the dynamic instability, the interaction causes the following problem : 1) chattering at steady-state, 2) dynamic coupling effect of robot, and 3) performance degradation due to a titled environment. To solve the problem, the Time Delay Control(TDC), which has been known to be quiet robust to plant uncertainties and disturbances, has been applied. In conjunction to TDC, the following three ideas were also used : 1) To reduce the amplitude of the chattering at the steady state, a novel scheme was adopted to enhance the resolution type solution of A/D conversion for the force sensor. 2) To reduce the dynamic coupling, a trajectory type position command was tried on a comparative basis to the step command, as well as a more accurate mass matrix was used instead of the constant mass matrix. 3) And finally to improve the performance in the tilted environment, force derivatives instead of position derivatives were used in the TDC law. Computer simulations and experiments resulted in obvious improvements on the quality of the hybrid control, thereby clearly demonstrating the effectiveness of TDC with the proposed ideas.

For free motions, vibration suppression of single flexible manipulators has been one of the hottest research topics. However, for cooperative motions of multiple flexible manipulators, a little effort has been devoted for the vibration suppression control. So, the aim of this paper is to develop a hybrid force/position control and vibration suppression control scheme for multiple cooperation flexible manipulators handling a rigid object. In order to clarify the discussion, the motions of dual-arm experimental flexible manipulator are considered. Using the developed model, we control a robotic system with hybrid position/force control scheme. Finally, Experiments are performed, and a comparison of experimental results is given to clarify the validity of our control scheme.

When a robot manipulator performs some task like grinding or assembling, not only the position control but also the force control of the tools connected to the robot must be controlled. But at this time We were received the uncertainty problems of system information for the force control, for example disturbance, senor resolution and measurement noise. Therefore we proposed fuzzy logic control method instead of existing control theory for the robot manipulator control, for example PID control method. In this paper, We proposed hybrid position/force control of robot manipulator using fuzzy logic control method. To show the validity of the proposed fuzzy controller, We compared fuzzy controller with conventional PID controller.

A robot assembly method which uses configuration and force/torque information of tactile sensor system and performs chamferless peg-in-hole tasks is suggested and experimentally studied. When the robot gripes the peg with random orientation, the realignment of the peg to the hole center line is successfully performed with the gripping configuration information of the tactile sensor and the inverse kinematics of the robot. The force/torque information of the tactile sensor makes it possible to control the contacting force between mating parts during hole search stage. The suggested algorithm employs a hybrid position/force control and the experiments show that the algorithm accomplishes well peg-in-hole tasks with permissible small contacting force. The chamferless peg-in-hole tasks with smaller clearance than the robot repeatibility can be excuted without any loss or deformation of mating parts. This study the possibility of precise and chamferless parts mating by robot and tactile sensor system.

A new simple method for controlling compliant motions of a flexible robot arm is presented. The method aims at controlling translational tip motion, force and moment by directly computing the base motion or torque. A numerical inversion of Laplace transform is used to obtain the results in the time domain. The results show the effectiveness of the method for the hybrid translational position/force control of a flexible robot arm.
