Impedance with Finite-Time Control Scheme for Robot-Environment Interaction

For the robot system with the uncertain model and unknown environment parameters, a control scheme combining impedance and finite time is proposed. In order to obtain accurate force control performance indirectly by using position tracking, the control scheme is divided into two parts: an outer loop for force impedance control and an inner loop for position tracking control. In the outer loop, in order to eliminate the force tracking error quickly, the impedance control based on force is adopted; when the robot contacts with the environment, the satisfactory force tracking performance can be obtained. In the inner loop, the finite-time control method based on the homogeneous system is used. Through this method, the desired virtual trajectory generated by the outer loop can be tracked, and the contact force tracking performance can be obtained indirectly in the direction of force. This method does not need the dynamics model knowledge of the robot system, thus avoiding the online real-time calculation of the inverse dynamics of the robot. The unknown uncertainty and external interference of the system are obtained online by using the time-delay estimation, and the control process is effectively compensated, so the algorithm is simple, the convergence speed is fast, and the practical application is easy. The theory of finite-time stability is used to prove that the closed-loop system is finite-time stable, and the effectiveness of the algorithm is proved by simulations.
