Book Transferring Human Impedance Regulation Skills to Robots

Download or read book Transferring Human Impedance Regulation Skills to Robots written by Arash Ajoudani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces novel thinking and techniques to the control of robotic manipulation. In particular, the concept of teleimpedance control as an alternative method to bilateral force-reflecting teleoperation control for robotic manipulation is introduced. In teleimpedance control, a compound reference command is sent to the slave robot including both the desired motion trajectory and impedance profile, which are then realized by the remote controller. This concept forms a basis for the development of the controllers for a robotic arm, a dual-arm setup, a synergy-driven robotic hand, and a compliant exoskeleton for improved interaction performance.
