Kinematic stability of robot manipulators under force control

摘要

The author investigates the kinematic instability problem associated with some well-known force control approaches. His intent is to establish qualitative evaluations of the stability of hybrid control and stiffness control. He first constructs a state-space model and then demonstrates the kinematic stability or instability of the two force control formulations by making use of a necessary and sufficient condition for a multivariate linear system. The author also discusses issues such as critical damping in stable force control approaches and stabilizing measures for unstable force control methods.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
