Time Domain Passivity for delayed Haptic Telepresence with Energy Reference

Kurzfassung

This paper presents a new control strategy based on the Time Domain Passivity Control approach which copes with the active nature of delayed communication channels. Describing the system by means of network elements, the energy of the communication channel can be computed in real time and subsequently dissipated, thus providing stable operation. This is done bilaterally, since the system energy may flow from master to slave and from slave to master. The approach is accompanied with some experiments which validate the method.
