Abstract
Performance of an electrohydraulic impedance controller, developed in the physical domain, for controlling the contact forces during robotic interaction tasks is analyzed in this paper. The impedance controller is capable of varying the mechanical impedance of the manipulator during an interaction task and thus controls the interaction force. An electrohydraulic servo actuator, appended to a 1-d.o.f. manipulator arm, acts as the controller in the physical domain. The controller performance depends on the physical parameters such as size of the actuator, bulk modulus of the oil, etc., of the hydraulic system. The influence of these physical parameters on the controller performance is analyzed through frequency analysis and acceptable ranges of values for these parameters are determined. Controller sensitivity, stability of the constrained manipulator system and its frequency response are analyzed theoretically and results are presented. The limitation of application of the controller for practical applications is also analyzed and the results are presented.
