  • Admittance enhancement in force feedback of dynamic systems
    Publication number: 20030132726
    Abstract: A mechanical filter and control system combination for a robot or manipulator is provided. The control system directs movement of the manipulator based on feedback of sensed contact force on the manipulator. The mechanical filter is arranged between the force sensor and the end effector of the manipulator to perform positive real compensation of the admittance response of the manipulator produced by just the force feedback control system. The mechanical filter can consist of a spring and a damper arranged in parallel.
