Performance analysis in delayed nonlinear bilateral teleoperation systems by force estimation algorithm

This paper establishes a novel control strategy for a nonlinear bilateral teleoperation system with time delay. Besides position and velocity signals, force signals are additionally utilized in the control scheme. This modification significantly improves the poor transparency during contact with the environment. To eliminate the external force measurement, a force estimation algorithm is proposed for the master and slave robots. The closed loop stability of the nonlinear teleoperation system with the proposed control scheme is investigated through the Lyapunov theory. Furthermore, it is theoretically and experimentally proved that force reflection occurs and transparency is enhanced simultaneously. Consequently, experimental results verify the efficiency of the new control scheme in free motion and during collision of the slave robot with the environment.
