Abstract
This paper presents a novel multivariable two-time scale control method for flexible joint robots. The fundamental limitations of the conventional two-time scale control are clearly explained based on a singular perturbation analysis with a linearized dynamic model. Unlike the conventional methods, the bandwidth of the slow control can be made high and the derivatives of the rigid control are not required. The closed-form solution of a slow model that is more accurate than the rigid model is presented. It is shown that the modeling error of the proposed two-time scale control can be made arbitrarily small by the control gain only. A real-world experiment with a six degrees-of-freedom commercial industrial robot was performed to validate the presented approach.
