摘要:

Compared to single arm robot system, dual arm robot has the ability of performing human-like dexterity and cooperation. Dual arm cooperative operation has attracted more and more attention in industrial applications, such as in assembly of complex parts, manufacturing tasks and handling objects. A unified dynamic control method, which is divided into three modes, namely, independent mode, dependent mode, and half dependent mode, is proposed for a redundant dual arm robot with focus on the movement and force of the desired task being operated. Attention is devoted to develop a unified formulation of the above three modes. In addition, a closed form of inverse kinematic solution instead of numerical integration approach is proposed with the aim to guarantee position accuracy. Different from traditional dynamic controllers, where the independent redundancy resolu-tion is obtained based on particular velocity or acceleration levels, here the two dynamic controllers are improved by combining a closed form of inverse kinematic solution with velocity and acceleration levels. Furthermore, the theoretical results of the proposed control method are validated by simulations and experiments.

Abstract:

Compared to single arm robot system, dual arm robot has the ability of performing human-like dexterity and cooperation. Dual arm cooperative operation has attracted more and more attention in industrial applications, such as in assembly of complex parts, manufacturing tasks and handling objects. A unified dynamic control method, which is divided into three modes, namely, independent mode, dependent mode, and half dependent mode, is proposed for a redundant dual arm robot with focus on the movement and force of the desired task being operated. Attention is devoted to develop a unified formulation of the above three modes. In addition, a closed form of inverse kinematic solution instead of numerical integration approach is proposed with the aim to guarantee position accuracy. Different from traditional dynamic controllers, where the independent redundancy resolu-tion is obtained based on particular velocity or acceleration levels, here the two dynamic controllers are improved by combining a closed form of inverse kinematic solution with velocity and acceleration levels. Furthermore, the theoretical results of the proposed control method are validated by simulations and experiments.
