Abstract

Impedance control is a commonly used approach for robots to interact with environments. At present, the impedance control is mostly implemented at the foot end, while the impedance control at the joint space offers faster response speed and is a more favorable option. However, due to the influence of installation position and moment arm of hydraulic drive unit (HDU), it is more complicated to establish the mapping relationship of equivalent stiffness and equivalent damping between the foot end and joint HDU. To address this challenge, this paper provides a general calculation expression of mapping matrices between the foot end and joint HDU, which also considers the influence of above nonlinear factors. Additionally, the accuracy of mapping matrices is verified through the impedance control, and the “finite difference method” (FDM) is used to enhance the accuracy of validation. Finally, the accuracy of mapping matrices is validated through the single leg of a 2-DOF series hydraulic robot.
