Many transport units for large production devices now incorporate large-sized gantry type linear motor sliders comprising two parallel linear sliders linked by a joint table. This type of linear motor slider develops a unique mechanical distortion, generating a repulsive force between the two axes that can raise the motor output forces higher than their rated limit. A previous study proposed a method to suppress the repulsive force. However, as feedback gains are set high, force references oscillate and the control system becomes unstable. In past study, yawing vibration suppression methods have been proposed. But, we consider that this vibration is not yawing vibration because the force references include same phase vibration with high gains. Therefore, the modal analysis is performed to analyze this vibration. As a result, it was found that the pitching vibration of the slider was greatly affected. This paper considers this vibration phenomenon, and suppression of the vibration by control method which is similar to impedance control is presented. Hence, it is shown that considering multi-degree of freedom vibration which means yawing vibration and pitching vibration included is important in order to control the large-sized gantry type linear motor sliders.

In order to reduce the damage of apple harvesting robot to fruits and achieve compliant picking, an adaptive variable parameter impedance control method for apple harvesting robot compliant picking is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the Burgers viscoelastic model is used to characterize the rheological properties of apples and study the variation of mechanical properties of apple grasping at different speeds. Then, a force-based impedance control system is designed. On this basis, aiming at the influence of impedance controller parameters on contact force, three impedance parameters self-tuning functions are constructed to complete the design of an improved force-based impedance control system based on the hyperbolic secant function. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control makes the desired force smoother, and its overshoot is about 2.3%. The response speed is faster, and the adjustment time of contact force is shorter of about 0.48 s. The contact force overshoot is about 2%, which is 37.5% less than that of the traditional force-based impedance control. This research improves the control performance for apple harvesting robot compliant picking.

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.

In order to make the speed adjustment system of the permanent magnet synchronous linear motor more stable and make the convergence performance of the speed control system better, a speed regulator based on the terminal sliding mode algorithm is proposed. In addition, the permanent magnet synchronous linear motor will also be affected by temperature changes during its operation. Aiming to enhance the adaptability of linear motors to parameter changes, a terminal sliding mode speed control idea based on adaptive parameter identification is proposed. The Popov stability theory and the mathematical model of linear motor are used to construct a parameter identification system. The identification flux parameters are used as the control algorithm of the terminal sliding mode speed regulator and the update matching of speed regulator flux parameters and motor system parameters are realized. Through the above algorithm, the performance of the entire speed control system is improved. The results of simulation experiments can illustrate the effectiveness of this control method and its effect on improving the control performance.

This paper proposes an intelligent massage control system that uses a multi-fingered robot hand with hybrid impedance control, which is able to recreate the movement and force of a human massage therapist. Therefore, various massage points, such as changes in the stiffness of human skin muscle, can be controlled by using an impedance control method. A hybrid impedance control, comprised of position-based and force-based control methods, was developed. The position-based impedance control is used to control the lateral position of massage on the human skin muscle. On the other hand, the force-based impedance control is used to control the force of the vertical direction on human skin muscle. This paper also identifies human skin muscle through robot perception of impedance to decide on the parameters of the impedance controller. A strategy using impedance control to implement an adaptive control system is presented, under the conditions of both soft and hard skin and muscle. The effectiveness of this massage control system using a multi-fingered robot hand with hybrid impedance control is demonstrated through realistic massage experiments involving pushing and rubbing motions.

One of the typical features of a pneumatic servo is a relatively high compliance due to air compressibility. This feature may be useful for constrained tasks such as deburring, polishing, and assisting humans, in which the relationship between position and force is important. If this relationship of a pneumatic servo becomes actively controllable, it can be effectively applied to these tasks. In order to control this relationship, an impedance control concept has recently been proposed. The impedance of the overall control system depends not only on the manipulator but also on the manipulated object of which the characteristics are usually unknown. Therefore, to attain the desired impedance over extensive operating conditions, an adaptive control strategy is required. This paper proposes an impedance control method of a pneumatic servo, using a position based approach, where an adaptive position control system is constructed inside the force feedback loop. The proposed method is applied to an experimental pneumatic servo system comprised of a pneumatic cylinder, electro-pneumatic proportional control valves, and a spring object. From the experiments, the following has been verified: 1) both static stiffness and dynamic impedance of the pneumatic servo system can be independently regulated by setting a desired reference model; 2) the impedance can be held constant with changes in system parameter such as object stiffness; and 3) the instability problem for the low stiffness setting can be overcome by setting high damping in the reference model. The proposed impedance control method may prove to be effective for both improving a pneumatic servo and developing its new applications.

Robotic neurorehabilitation is a rapidly growing field in both research and industry. Robotics offer the ability to create less labor-intensive rehabilitation for therapists, while providing an interactive experience for patients. Furthermore, the ability to implement assistive robotic therapy in the home setting has the potential to increase the frequency of patient rehabilitation sessions while decreasing the overall cost of therapy. Therefore, the design, control, and initial testing of an actuated 2 degree of freedom hand rehabilitation device is presented. A 2 degree of freedom hand rehabilitation device, named the Navigator, is mechanically capable of assistive or resistive mode exercise for flexion and extension of the fingers, as well as pronation and supination of the wrist. A series elastic actuator incorporating a rack and pinion provides actuation to flexion and extension of the fingers. A belt drive is used to provide actuation to pronation and supination of the wrist. Position and load sensors are integrated into both actuators to provide feedback for the control system. The implementation of an impedance control system utilizing position, force, and torque feedback is also presented. Automated control results as well as preliminary pilot data of resistive mode exercises are presented. The impedance controller interacts with a virtual environment. Preliminary results of the controller confirm the efficacy of the device’s mechanical design.

An impedance control method in null-space for 7-degree-of-freedom redundant manipulators is presented in this article. The null-space impedance motion of the redundant manipulator was described in the angle domain and a null-space impedance equation was established. To successfully obtain joint angular velocity, a high-gain observer is designed. The stability of the proposed control method was proved based on passive theory. The proposed null-space impedance control method not only preserved the Cartesian space impedance characteristics of the redundant manipulator but also achieved null-space impedance control. When the manipulator interacted with the outside world, the position error of the end effector asymptotically converged due to the self-motion of the manipulator. Simulations and experiments of the general impedance control method and the proposed impedance control method verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
