Abstract

A new method based on modal decoupling is proposed for the hybrid force/position control of a robot with compliant end effector during constrained motion. This method incorporates results from control of flexible robots in order to damp out undesired vibrations of the end effector through active control. The contact dynamics during constrained motion are described by vibrational modes. These are either unconstrained real vibrational modes, or constrained, hence degenerated modes.
