Title
High performance teleoperation using switching robust control.
Abstract
The inherent transparency-stability trade-off in bilateral teleoperation poses a challenge to design controllers that find a proper balance between both requirements. Furthermore, when the environment of the teleoperation system varies within a wide range, a single controller might not be sufficient to achieve both stability and transparency. Therefore, we propose the synthesis of a switching robust controller that increases the environment stiffness range for which both stability and transparency is achieved. During the design we take into account the fact that environment estimators will have limited accuracy due to noise and uncertainty. Additionally, we use a parametric model of the human operator based on measurements of an operator's hand. We show the applicability of the approach by experiments on a 1-DOF teleoperated system interacting with a virtual spring.
