Unified Force and Motion Adaptive-Integral Control of Flexible Robot Manipulators (2309.10199v1)

Published 18 Sep 2023 in eess.SY, cs.SY, and math.DS

Abstract: In this paper, an adaptive nonlinear strategy for the motion and force control of flexible manipulators is proposed. The approach provides robust motion control until contact is detected when force control is then available--without any control switch--, and vice versa. This self-tuning in mixed contact/non-contact scenarios is possible thanks to the unified formulation of force and motion control, including an integral transpose-based inverse kinematics and adaptive-update laws for the flexible manipulator link and contact stiffnesses. Global boundedness of all signals and asymptotic stability of force and position are guaranteed through Lyapunov analysis. The control strategy and its implementation has been validated using a low-cost basic microcontroller and a manipulator with 3 flexible joints and 4 actuators. Complete experimental results are provided in a realistic mixed contact scenario, demonstrating very-low computational demand with inexpensive force sensors.
