Abstract
This article deals with the interaction between humans and industrial robots, more specifically with the new design and implementation of an algorithm for force-guided motions of a 6-d.o.f. robot. It may be used to comfortably teach positions without using any teaching pendant or for some assistance tasks. For this purpose, from readings of the force/torque sensor mounted in the robot wrist, the gravity forces and torques first have to be eliminated. To control the robot in joint space, it is then convenient to transform the external force and torque values from Cartesian space into joint space using the manipulator transposed Jacobian. This is why with the present approach the Jacobian matrix of the robot used was calculated. Now, from the computed joint torques, suitable position commands of the robot arm can be generated to obtain the desired behavior. A suggestion for this desired behavior is also included in this article. It is based on the impedance control approach in joint space. The proposed algorithm was implemented with the standard Stäubli RX90B industrial robot.
