Two strategies of position and force control for two industrial robots handling a single object

Abstract The simultaneous position and force control problem for two industrial robots in handling a single object is studied in this paper. Two strategies, position-position control and position-force control, are first proposed. Stability analysis is then conducted for the strategies. Both strategies result in a stable system for simple robotic models. Steady state error is also studied for the strategies. Finally, experimental results are presented to evaluate the two strategies.
