Decoupled Scaling 4ch Bilateral Control on the Cartesian coordinate by 6-DoF Manipulator using Rotation Matrix

Abstract

Four-channel bilateral control is a method for achieving remote control with force feedback and adjustment operability by synchronizing the positions and forces of two manipulators. This is expected to significantly improve the operability of the remote control in contact-rich tasks. Among these, 4-channel bilateral control on the Cartesian coordinate system is advantageous owing to its suitability for manipulators with different structures and because it allows the dynamics in the Cartesian coordinate system to be adjusted by adjusting the control parameters, thus achieving intuitive operability for humans. This paper proposes a 4-channel bilateral control method that achieves the desired dynamics by decoupling each dimension in the Cartesian coordinate system regardless of the scaling factor.
