Abstract
The bilateral control of a teleoperator in Cartesian space with time-varying delay is studied in this paper. Compared with the traditional joint-space teleoperation mode, bilateral control in Cartesian space has advantages when dealing with the kinematically dissimilar (KDS) teleoperation systems. A Cartesian space-based PD-like bilateral controller with dissipation factors is designed. Considering the fact that attitude errors derived by rotation matrix cannot be directly used for PD control, a quaternion-based approach is adopted to calculate the attitude errors in Cartesian space. In order to overcome the instability brought about by communication delay, local damping components are employed at both ends of the teleoperator system. The variation of time delay may generate extra energy and influence the stability of the system, thus dissipation factors are introduced into the controller. The stability of the proposed bilateral controller is proved and the simulations show the effectiveness of the approach.
