Real-time control for VIDET using Simulink

In this paper we discuss the real-time force-feedback control structure for the VIDET system. In this application the scheme for the controller is defined as a dual cooperative task. The control force setpoint is derived from the human response interface, whereas the actuator position is controlled in real-time so that the force setpoint is maintained. After introducing the application, the control system architecture will be explained. Finally the implementation and realization in MATLAB-Simulink is discussed.
