A cascaded force and position control is implemented on each of two robots of a bilateral teleoperation system. The aim is to propose a classical frequency approach in order to tune the closed-loop of each robot for different operating modes. Thus an efficient four channel bilateral teleoperation controller is proposed. It can be decomposed into four different two channel controller variations that can introduce inner virtual flexibility. This virtual flexibility is calculated for each case and can be tuned with the gains of the position control of the robots. An original way to calculate the apparent impedance is provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
