Bilateral force reflection for teleoperators with masters and slaves with dissimilar and possibly redundant kinematics

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5297021· OSTI ID:5297021

Several bilateral control techniques and methods for exploiting redundant slaves are investigated as a part of research to develop and analyze bilateral, force-reflecting control methodologies for teleoperator systems with kinematic dissimilar masters and slaves. The study indicates that, with force/torque sensing at the wrist, and an impedance type of controller with the appropriate joint compensation, a significant improvement in performance and controllability of a teleoperator system can be achieved. 32 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
