Posture maintenance control of 2-link object by nonprehensile two-cooperative-arm robot without compensating friction

摘要

In this paper, a method to posture maintenance control of 2-link object by nonprehensile two-cooperative-arm robot without compensating friction is proposed. In details, a mathematical model of the 2-link object is firstly built. Based on the model, stable regions for holding motion of nonprehensile two-cooperative-arm robot are obtained while the 2-link object is kept stable on the robot arms with static friction. Among the obtained stable regions, the robust pairs of orientation angles of the 2-link object are found. Under the robust orientation angles, a feedback control system is designed to control the arms to maintain the 2-link object's posture while it is being held or lifted up. Finally, experimental results are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
