We consider the problem of perfect cancellation of gravity effects in the dynamics of robot manipulators having flexible transmissions at the joints. Based on the feedback equivalence principle, we aim at designing feedback control laws that let the system outputs behave as those of a desired model where gravity is absent. The cases of constant stiffness (elastic joints), nonlinear flexible, and variable...
An adaptive multi-dimensional compliance model reference controller was implemented in real-time on a 4 degrees of freedom (DOF) of the humanoid Bristol-Elumotion-Robotic-Torso II (BERT II) arm in Cartesian space. The robot manipulator has been controlled in such a way as to follow the compliant passive behaviour of a reference mass-spring-damper system model subject to externally sensed forces/torques...
This paper presents a novel method for evaluating the danger within the environment of a robot manipulator. It is based on the introduced concept of kinetostatic danger field, a quantity that captures the complete state of the robot - its configuration and velocity. The field itself is invariant with respect to objects around the robot and can be computed in any given point of the workspace using...
This paper proposes a method for controlling posture of a robot manipulator by fuzzy voice commands. Human-friendly robotic system should be able to understand the fuzzy linguistic information based on the user's guidance and the environmental conditions. The contextual meaning of fuzzy linguistic information depends on the conditions of the environment. Therefore, the user's feedback is evaluated...
