Abstract

Compliance control is highly relevant to human safety in human–robot interaction (HRI). This paper presents multi-dimensional compliance control of a humanoid robot arm. A dynamic model-free adaptive controller with an anti-windup compensator is implemented on four degrees of freedom (DOF) of a humanoid robot arm. The paper is aimed to compliment the associated review paper on compliance control. This is a model reference adaptive compliance scheme which employs end-effector forces (measured via joint torque sensors) as a feedback. The robot's body-own torques are separated from external torques via a simple but effective algorithm. In addition, an experiment of physical human robot interaction is conducted employing the above mentioned adaptive compliance control along with a speech interface. The experiment is focused on passing an object (a cup) between a human and a robot. Compliance is providing an immediate layer of safety for this HRI scenario by avoiding pushing, pulling or clamping and minimizing the effect of collisions with the environment.
