A pose controller is provided for controlling a pose of an object to assemble with a mating object by a gripper of a robot arm. The pose controller includes an interface configured to receive tactile signals from the tactile sensors and transmit a control signal to the actuators, a processor, and a memory, in association with the processor, configured to store a precomputed set of tactile depth images and instructions of computer-implemented method. The instructions cause the processor to perform steps of computing measured tactile depth images from the received tactile signals, refining the pose of the object by matching between the precomputed set of tactile depth images and the measured tactile depth images by a point-to-plane iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, generating a gripper trajectory command based on the refined pose of the object and a target pose of the object, wherein the target pose is aligned against the mating object with a nominal distance above the mating object, and controlling the actuators of the robot arm according to a gripper trajectory by transmitting the gripper trajectory command to the robot controller.

A control method of the composite robot includes acquiring multiple forces and multiple torques collected by the force sensor in the current motion when the robot arm is pulled to move; calculating multiple displacement value sets according to the multiple forces, the multiple torques, a preset desired force, a preset desired torque, and a preset model; calculating the optimal solution according to the multiple displacement value sets to obtain a first target displacement value corresponding to the robot arm and a second target displacement value corresponding to the motion mechanism; controlling the robot arm and the motion mechanism to move according to the first target displacement value and the second target displacement value; and repeating the operation of acquiring multiple forces and multiple torques collected by the force sensor in the current motion until the robot arm and the motion mechanism stop moving.

A force control parameter setup support method of supporting a setup of a force control parameter to be used for force control when controlling a robot arm a tip of which is attached with a polishing tool using the force control to perform a polishing task on an object including a first step of obtaining task information related to the polishing task, a second step of selectively reading out information of the force control parameter corresponding to the task information obtained in the first step from a storage section in which a plurality of pieces of information of the force control parameter is stored, and a third step of displaying the information of the force control parameter read out in the second step on a display section.
