Telerobotic control of the seven-degree-of-freedom CESAR manipulator

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7127043

The application of a computationally efficient kinematic control scheme for manipulators with redundant degrees of freedom to the unilateral telerobotic control of seven-degree-of-freedom manipulator (CESARM) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Center for Engineering Systems Advanced Research is presented. The kinematic control scheme uses a gradient projection optimization method, which eliminates that need to determine the generalized inverse of the Jacobian when solving for joint velocities, given Cartesian end-effector velocities. A six-degree-of-freedom (nonreplica) master controller is used. Performance indices for redundancy resolution are discussed. 5 ref., 6 figs.
