Robot Force Control

Surface tracking with robot force control for position-controlled robotic manipulator is proposed. A neural network is applied to classify the unknown environment based on its dynamic response of the environment, on-line force feedback data are employed to estimate the normal and tangential directions of the unknown environment, the estimated vectors are used to generate the reference trajectory for the target impedance model. Real-time calculates the curvature of curve to be tracked to adjust the speed of the tangential direction, the reference scaling factor is determined by fuzzy reasoning according to current and forecast contact force, in order to adapt the reference trajectory generated for the changeable environmental parameters and control parameters. Simulation is conducted to verify its force tracking capability.

The human haptic system has an important role to play in human interaction with Virtual Environments (VEs). Unlike the visual and auditory systems, the haptic sense is capable of both sensing and acting on the environment and is an indispensable part of many human activities. In order to provide the realism needed for effective and compelling applications, VEs need to provide inputs to, and mirror the outputs of, the haptic system. These characteristics are the most important issues in the design of confined spaces and mechanical constructions using 6 DOF input devices in Immersive Projection Technology (IPT) or Cave-like systems. Inputs to the haptic system are in the form of haptic displays and outputs are actuator action commands, where the primary input/output variables are displacements and forces. The idea of total free movement in the IPT system was one of the corner stones of the present study. Therefore the force feedback system should also be wearable. The observer is able to reach objects placed above and below, grip them, and move freely in virtual space. This paper discusses the hardware and software structure of the haptic force feedback system for an IPT system, the theoretical functionality of McKibben actuators and the measured performance of a glove. Force control is based on fast solenoid valves, PID controller and a developed pneumatic muscle model. Muscle actuators are attached to the forearm and control the electronics and valves to a wearable backpack. A developed sensing and force-reflecting exoskeleton applies force to all four fingers and also the thumb. The device has five active DOFs, one for each finger. An ascension motion tracking device is used to track the position and orientation of the forearm. A Fifth Dimensional Technologies fiber optics data glove is used to measure the position of the fingers and provides better information on finger movements. Virtools 4.0 software and VRPN interface was used to connect the data glove, feedback device and PC-cluster.

Input And Output

The virtual scissors using virtual hands we propose enable users can cut virtual paper with their own hands. One purpose of our proposal is to facilitate implementing different tools simply by changing software parameters. Another is to make a general-purpose system with small-scale input and output devices for general applications, e.g., only using thin haptic information and force feedback. With such virtual reality (VR) scissors, we introduced feedback to cover any impressions such as interface interference during use. We evaluated whether an interaction occurred between vibration feedback and sound effects. Using this system, we found that users could manipulate virtual scissors through a data-glove similar to the use of real ones.

In mechanical engineering, hardware mock-ups are increasingly being replaced by virtual models. Virtual environments enable the testing of different designs with considerable savings on time and money. Haptic feedback helps the user in getting a realistic conception about the cabin dimensions and how different controls actually look and feel. The haptic interface must be convenient to use and give realistic feedback on the functioning of the controls. The haptic force-feedback glove “SPM Glove” with soft pneumatic muscles — SPMs for short — on the palm side has been developed at the Department of Mechanics and Design at Tampere University of Technology. The glove provides force feedback to the thumb, index, and middle fingertips. In this paper, the usability of the SPM Glove for grasping, moving, and comparing the size of virtual objects is investigated. For achieving finger position information, the SPM Glove was worn over a data glove. Hand position was tracked with a magnetic tracker. The results indicate that users find manipulating cylindrical objects easier, more comfortable, and more natural with force feedback provided by the SPM Glove than without it. Moreover, all test users managed to arrange three invisible virtual cylinders of different sizes in order of increasing thickness using the SPM Glove.

Since miniature parts have the characteristics of small sizes, low strength and rigidity, and they are easily to be damaged during the process of assembly, a concept for micro-stress assembly was proposed. In order to achieve micro-stress assembly, an automatic assembly system based on machine vision and force feedback was developed. Finite element method was used to analyze the influencing factors causing assembly stress. In order to handle various kinds of parts, a new type of combined gripper was developed, furthermore, the gripper integrated with force feedback and a compliant structure can detect and control the manipulating force.
