Force control, Impedance control, Robot control, Parallel manipulators
An acceleration based force-impedance controller is presented in this paper. The proposed strategy involves three cascade controllers: an inner acceleration controller, an impedance controller, and an outer force controller. This enables two kinds of manipulator behaviour: force limited impedance control and position limited force control. The type of behaviour only depends on the chosen manipulator trajectories. Experimental results of a force-impedance controlled 6-axis parallel manipulator, executing tasks that involve end-effector contact with uncertain environments of unknown stiffness, are presented.
