Abstract

A robotic object-tracking algorithm that employs multiple controllers is outlined. The dual-drive force/velocity controller is used when the robot is in contact with an object, and the damping controller, Fcomply, is employed to move the robot on a specified trajectory. The algorithm has been successfully implemented on an IBM 7565 robot, equipped with strain gauges on its end effector. Dense data sets have been collected during surface tracking with the intention that this information be used to recognize various objects. These data sets have been used to recognize simple objects such as a box and a cylinder. The performance of the algorithm is not dependent on the orientation of an object. A telephone receiver was placed at different orientations in the workspace, and tracking was successfully demonstrated in all cases
