Title
Force-free control for the flexible-joint robot in human-robot interaction
Abstract
The force-free control means that the robot arm does not seem to be affected by gravity, frictions, and inertial force during the interaction with human. An advanced force-free control method can greatly improve work efficiency. In this paper, a novel force-free control method of the flexible-joint robot is proposed. First, the mathematical models of flexible joint and flexible-joint robot are established, and the force-free controller which can realize the gravity-free situation and reduce the frictions and inertial torques is designed based on the models. Then, the dynamic parameters of the robot arm are obtained by means of a self-measuring way. Finally, a flexible-joint robot experimental system is assembled, and the verification of force-free control method is carried out. Moreover, the method converts external force into joint velocities in the joint servo controllers to improve the stability of the movement. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd
