F. Matsuno et al., MODELING AND QUASI-STATIC HYBRID POSITION FORCE CONTROL OF CONSTRAINED PLANAR 2-LINK FLEXIBLE MANIPULATORS, IEEE transactions on robotics and automation, 10(3), 1994, pp. 287-297
In this paper, a method is proposed whereby both contact force exerted
by a flexible manipulator and position of end-effector while in conta
ct with a surface are controlled. We derive dynamic equations of joint
angles, vibrations of flexible links, and contact force by means of H
amilton's principle. On the basis of some assumptions we derive the qu
asi-static equations and design the hybrid position/force controller o
f the flexible manipulator. A set of experiments for the hybrid contro
l of the flexible manipulator using a force sensor has been carried ou
t. Several experimental results are shown.
