Abstract: | The original impedance function is known to lack robustness due to unknown robot dynamic model and the environment. In order to improve that result, a new impedance function is derived which specifies a desired force directly. This results in a new robust robot force tracking impedance control scheme, which employs a neural network as a compensator to cancel out all uncertainties. The proposed neural force control scheme is capable of making the robot track a specified desired force as well as of compensating for uncertainties in environment location and stiffness, and in robot dynamics. Separate training signals for free-space motion and contact-space motion control are developed to train the neural compensator online. The design of the training signals is justified. Simulation studies with a three-link rotary robot manipulator are carried out and the results show excellent force tracking performance |
