Force Control Improvement in Collaborative Robots through Theory Analysis and Experimental Endorsement
APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL(2020)
摘要
Featured Application The article gives a detailed description on how to implement a custom force control for collaborative robots without knowing all the internal parameters. The methodology presented can be used in any manufacturing process capable of being carried out by a collaborative robot. Due to the elasticity of their joints, collaborative robots are seldom used in applications with force control. Besides, the industrial robot controllers are closed and do not allow the user to access the motor torques and other parameters, hindering the possibility of carrying out a customized control. A good alternative to achieve a custom force control is sending the output of the force regulator to the robot controller through motion commands (inner/outer loop control). There are different types of motion commands (e.g., position or velocity). They may be implemented in different ways (Jacobian inverse vs. Jacobian transpose), but this information is usually not available for the user. This article is dedicated to the analysis of the effect of different inner loops and their combination with several external controllers. Two of the most determinant factors found are the type of the inner loop and the stiffness matrix. The theoretical deductions have been experimentally verified on a collaborative robot UR3, allowing us to choose the best behaviour in a polishing operation according to pre-established criteria.
