Abstract

In this paper nonlinear control problems in dual-robot cooperation are discussed. First the effect of joint motor dynamics on the force control is discussed. Using the joint position, joint velocity and wrist force/torque sensor measurements a task-level nonlinear controller is formulated with the consideration of joint motor dynamics. Several important issues related to the practical implementation of the nonlinear control method are also addressed. Finally, the experimental results of single arm contact control as well as dual-arm pushing and pulling are used to further illustrate the points discussed in this paper
