X Abstract

The authors explore the sources of and solutions to robot contact instability associated with force feedback. The behavior of several linear robot models is analyzed in terms of the properties of their admittances. Using the novel technique of passive physical equivalents, an explanation for the often-observed instability of a force-controlled robot contacting a stiff surface is offered, and it is shown that a fundamental limit exists to the efficacy of any force feedback controller implemented on a robot with noncolocated actuators and sensors. Suggestions for improved force control involving both mechanical design and compensator design are also presented

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
