Abstract

This work addresses the problem of global set-point control of elastic joint robots by combining elastic structure preserving (ESP) control with non-collocated integral action. Despite the popularity and extensive research on PID control for rigid joint robots, such schemes largely evaded adoption to elastic joint robots. This is mainly due to the underactuation inherent to these systems, which impedes the direct implementation of PID schemes with non-collocated (link position) feedback. We remedy this issue by using the recently developed concept of “quasi-full actuation,” to achieve a link-side PID control structure with “delayed” integral action. The design follows the structure preserving design philosophy of ESP control and ensures global asymptotic stability and local passivity of the closed loop. A key feature of the proposed controller is the switching logic for the integral action that enables the combination of excellent positioning accuracy in free motion with compliant manipulation in contact with the environment. Its performance is evaluated on an elastic joint testbed and a compliant robot arm. The results demonstrate that elastic robots may achieve positioning accuracy comparable to rigid joint robots.
