This paper describes a control strategy with flexible manipulator in case of the movable environment. In a pushing task of the movable environment, it is important to keep the stable contact without hunting. To realize such a motion, a flexible structure of the manipulator is useful. Also it is important to realize a following control of the desired force between the manipulator and the movable environment. In the proposed approach, the dynamical behavior of the environment is fed back by using the estimated reaction torque. This makes it easy to obtain the stable following response against the moving environment. Several numerical results are shown to confirm the validity of the proposed controller.
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.
