Abstract A dynamic model of a hydraulic actuator/spool valve combination is developed using the bond graph method. Feedback linearization is used to develop a force controller for the system using hydraulic pressure in each chamber of the actuator along with piston position and velocity as feedback. The use of a feedforward term to compensate for the seal friction within the actuator provides for a stable and accurate controller. Velocity control is achieved through calculation of the reference force required to overcome the seal friction and produce the acceleration required to reach the desired velocity. It is shown that the use of such a force controller allows for an acceptable transition from velocity to force control when the piston comes in contact with an external surface.

The purpose of this research is to develop a control method that can provide an operator with a suitable force feeling for grasping fragile or soft objects so as not to totally crush them. This research examines a master-slave control system for a teleoperation construction robot in which a shovel with a fork glove, having four degree of freedom, is regarded as slave side and two joysticks are regarded as master side. In the previous study using a position-velocity control method, two joysticks manipulated the shovel according to the velocity of its piston. However, it was found that the reaction force to the joysticks in grasping fragile or soft objects was insufficient for operators and they were compelled to feel strange while moving the joysticks, because they had to remove the joystick to a middle position to avoid fully grasping the object. A position-force control method, in which the reaction force to the joystick is used as feedback instead of the velocity of a piston, is proposed to overcome the problems. Its effectiveness is verified by experiments of grasping a tin block and a urethane foam block.

A manufactured servo system has both current feedback and saturation elements in the servo driver (amplifier). The current feedback is thought to be effective only in reducing the electric time constant of the motor. However, the effects of current feedback are not only the reduction of electric time constant. In this study, the effect of current feedback is clarified by comparing it to a velocity control system without current feedback. In particular, the contribution of the current feedback to saturation elements in servo drivers is clarified. As a result, the influence of the saturation of the operation amount existing in servo drivers cannot be clarified easily, showing that the current feedback is indispensable in motor control by suppressing the flow of over-current to the motor. This demonstrates the possibility of force control that is compatible with trajectory control of a load by exploiting the characteristic of saturation of operation amount.
