Abstract: A method for tuning the force control parameters for a general robotic assembly operation. The method uses numerical optimization to evaluate different combinations of the parameters for a robot force controller in a simulation environment that is built based on a real-world robotic setup. This method performs autonomous tuning for assembly tasks based on closed loop force control simulation, where random samples from a distribution of force control parameter values are evaluated, and the optimization routine iteratively redefines the parameter distribution to find optimal values of the parameters. Each simulated assembly is evaluated using multiple simulations including random part positioning uncertainties. The performance of each simulated assembly is evaluated by the average of the simulation results, thus ensuring that the selected control parameters will perform well in most possible conditions.
