Generalized admittance control for robotic manipulators
A control system and method for generalized admittance control (AC) is provided. The control system includes circuitry communicatively coupled to a robotic manipulator. The circuitry receives, from a sensor system of the robotic manipulator, contact force measurements associated with a physical interaction of the robotic manipulator with an object. The circuitry determines a surface portion of the robotic manipulator on which the physical interaction with the object occurs and samples a set of interaction points from the surface portion. The circuitry computes a generalized velocity for AC of the robotic manipulator by minimizing a cost function. The cost function includes a relationship between the contact force measurements and an approximation term which models application of an actual contact force of the physical interaction on the sampled set of interaction points. The circuitry generates a set of joint control instructions based on generalized velocity to control motion of the robotic manipulator.
MOTION PLANNING FOR ROBOTS TO OPTIMIZE VELOCITY WHILE MAINTAINING LIMITS ON ACCELERATION AND JERK
Faster, less computational intense, and more robust techniques to optimize velocity of robots or portions thereof without violating constraints on acceleration and jerk (derivative of acceleration with respect to time) are described. A nonlinear problem of optimizing velocity without violating acceleration constraints is linearized, and produces acceleration constrained velocity estimates. A nonlinear problem of optimizing velocity without violating jerk constraints in linearized, and produces jerk constrained velocity estimates, and may be feed by the acceleration constrained velocity estimates. Configuration and timing may be generated and provided, e.g., as vectors, to control operation of a robot, robotic appendage or other structure.

ROBOT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING ROBOT SYSTEM
A robot system includes a manipulating force detector configured to detect a manipulating force given to an operation end by an operator, a reaction-force detector configured to detect a reaction force given to a work end or a workpiece held by the work end, a system controller configured to generate an operating command of a master arm and generate an operating command of a slave arm based on the manipulating force and the reaction force, a master-side control part configured to control the master arm, and a slave-side control part configured to control the slave arm. The system controller has an exaggerated expresser configured to exaggeratedly present an operating feel to the operator who operates the operation end in a reaction-force sudden change state that is a state in which the reaction force changes rapidly with time.
Inverse kinematics of a surgical robot for teleoperation with hardware constraints
Various approaches to solve for inverse kinematics may be used for teleoperation of a surgical robotic system. In one approach, an iterative solver solves for the linear component of motion independently from solving for the angular component of motion. One solver may be used to solve for both together. In another approach, all limits (e.g., position, velocity, and acceleration) are handled in one solution. Where a limit is reached, the limit is used as a bound in the intermediate solution, allowing solution even where a bound is reached. In another approach, a ratio of limits of position are used to create a slow-down region near the bounds to more naturally control motion. In yet another approach, the medical-based teleoperation uses a bounded Gauss-Siedel solver, such as with successive-over-relaxation.

Method and device for controlling a manipulator
A method for controlling a manipulator includes determining by a control device one or more contact force values between the manipulator and a first workpiece. Each of the contact force values is based on an actual driving force of the manipulator and a drive force according to a dynamic model of the manipulator. The method also includes at least one of a) measuring in multiple stages an orientation and location of the first workpiece based on at least one of the one or more determined contact force values or b) joining a second workpiece and the first workpiece under a compliant regulation, where a joining state of the first and second workpieces is monitored based on at least one of an end pose of the manipulator obtained under the compliant regulation, a speed of a temporal change of the manipulator, or at least one of the one or more determined contact force values.
