This paper describes position and force hybrid control for a robot manipulator with artificial rubber muscle actuators. The controller using two control laws such as PID control and fuzzy logic control methods is designed. This paper concludes to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller by some experiments for a two-link manipulator.

An approach to robot hybrid position/force control, which allows force manipulations to be realized without overshoot and overdamping while in the presence of unknown environment, is given in this paper. The manin idea is to used dynamic compensation for known robot parts and fuzzy compensation for unknown environment so as to improve system performance. The fuzzy compensation is implemented by using rule based fuzzy approach to identify the unknown environment. The establishment of proposed control system consists of following two stages. First, similar to the resovled acceleration control method, dynamic compensation and PD control based on known robot dynamics, kinematics and estimated environment stiffness is introduced. To avoid overshoot the whole control system is constructed with overdamping. In the second stage, the unknown environment stiffness is identified by using fuzzy reasoning, where the fuzzy compensation rules are obtained priori as the expression of the relationship betweenenvironment stiffness and system. Based on the simulation result, comparison between cases with or without fuzzy identifications are given, which illustrate the improvement achieced.

When real robot manipulators arc mathematically modeled, uncertainties are not avoidable. The uncertainties are often nonlinear and time varying, The uncertain factors come from imperfect knowledge of system parameters, payload change, friction, external disturbance and etc. We proposed a class of robust hybrid position/force control of manipulators and provided the stability analysis in the previous work. In the work, we propose a class of adaptive robust hybrid position/force control of manipulators with bound estimation and the stability based on Lyapunov function is presented. Especially, this controller does not need the information of uncertainty bound. The simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

In this paper we discuss the control scheme on cooperative control of two flexible manipulators working in 3D space. We propose a control scheme which consists of hybrid position/force control and vibration suppression control. Hybrid position/force control is extended from the scheme for two cooperating rigid manipulators to that for flexible ones. in addition to the control vibration suppression control based upon a lumped-mass-spring model of the flexible manipulators is applied. To illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme we show experimental results. in the experiment a rigid object is handled by two cooperating flexible manipulators in 3D space.

In this paper, we propose dynamic hybrid control method which takes the manipulator dynamics into consideration and extend to two cooperating robots. The first step is the linearization of the manipulator dynamics and the second step is the design of position/force controllers for the linearized model which takes account of both the command response and the robustness of the controllers to modeling errors and disturbance. We also consider load sharing for each robot.

A hybrid control method based on using the relative motion between a manipulator and a workpiece is described for a two-dimensional manipulator, in which it is assumed that there are no collisions between the robot manipulator and the workpiece, and that we use a computed force law which is similar to the computed torque law in the trajectory tracking problem of a robot manipulator. The effectiveness of the proposed hybrid control emthod is illustratec by some simulations.

A Hybrid technique is introduced in this paper for a manipulator with 2 DOF flexible links. The manipulator dynamics plus the actuator dynamics is controlled by taking force feedback for the end-effector of the link 2 while controlling the position of link I to control the position of the end-effector.

This paper deals with a hybrid position/force control of a robot which is moving on the constrained object with constant force. The proposed controller is composed of a position and force controller. The position controller has a nonlinear compensator which is based on the dynamic robot model and the force controller is attached by feedforward element. A direct drive robot with hard nonlinearity which is controlled by the proposed algorithm has moved on the constrained object with a high stiffness and low stiffness. The results show that the proposed controller has more vibration suppression effects which is occurred to the constrained object with a high stiffness, than a existing feedback controller, and accurate force control can be obtained by comparatively a small feedback gain.

In general, the control of robot manipulator is classified into position control and force control. Position controllers give adequate performance when a manipulator is following a trajectory through space and end-effector has no contact with environment. However for most tasks performed by robot manipulator in industry, contact is made between the end-effector and manipulator's environment, so position control may not suffice. The objective of this study is to control both position of a manipulator and the contact forces generated at the hand by using a conceptually simple control law. Position and force control problem is decoupled into subtasts via taskspace formulation and inverse dynamics. Then, the position controllers are designed for the task space variable which represent tangent motion and the forte controllers are designed for the lash space variables which represent normal force.

In this paper, an implementation of force control for a slave mobile robot in tele-operation environment is presented. A mobile robot is built to have a force control capability with a force sensor and tested for force tracking control performances. Both position and contact force are regulated by a PID based hybrid control method and the impedance force control method. To minimize accumulated errors due to the adaptive impedance force control method, the novel force control method with a weighted function is proposed. Experimental studies of regulating contact forces for different control algorithms are tested and their performances are compared.
