Stable control of force, position, and stiffness for robot joints powered via pneumatic muscles
(IEEE, 2019-12)
This paper proposes a novel controller framework for antagonistically driven pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) actuators. The proposed controller can be stably configured in both torque-stiffness control and position-stiffness ...
Variable ankle stiffness improves balance control: experiments on a bipedal exoskeleton
(IEEE, 2016-02)
This paper proposes a real-time balance control technique that can be implemented to bipedal robots (exoskeletons, humanoids) whose ankle joints are powered via variable physical stiffness actuators. To achieve active ...
Proof of concept for robot-aided upper limb rehabilitation using disturbance observers
(IEEE, 2015-02)
This paper presents a wearable upper body exoskeleton system with a model-based compensation control framework to support robot-aided shoulder-elbow rehabilitation and power assistance tasks. To eliminate the need for EMG ...
A stability analysis for the acceleration-based robust position control of robot manipulators via disturbance observer
(IEEE, 2018-10)
This paper proposes a new nonlinear stability analysis for the acceleration-based robust position control of robot manipulators by using disturbance observer (DOb). It is shown that if the nominal inertia matrix is properly ...
Torque and variable stiffness control for antagonistically driven pneumatic muscle actuators via a stable force feedback controller
(IEEE, 2015)
This paper describes a novel controller that is capable of simultaneously controlling torque and variable stiffness in real-time, for actuators with antagonistically driven pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs). To this end, ...
Towards balance recovery control for lower body exoskeleton robots with variable stiffness actuators: spring-loaded flywheel model
(IEEE, 2015)
This paper presents a biologically-inspired real-time balance recovery control strategy that is applied to a lower body exoskeleton with variable physical stiffness actuators at its ankle joints. For this purpose, a torsional ...
Environmental force estimation for a robotic hand : compliant contact detection
(IEEE, 2015)
This paper presents a model based compensation method to enable environmental force estimation for a robotic hand with no tactile or force sensors. To this end, we utilize multi-joint robot dynamics and disturbance observer ...
An experimental study of a bluetooth communication system for robot motion control
(IEEE, 2019)
This paper presents a method that aims to reduce the complex cabling problem in robotics applications, so as to prevent difficulties in troubleshooting processes and failures in case of cable breaks. Examples in the ...
A comparison study on observer-based force control of series elastic actuators
(IEEE, 2018)
This paper presents a comparison study for the robust force control of series elastic actuators (SEAs). In most robotics systems, SEAs are used as an essential actuation method due to the benefits such as lower reflected ...
Robust locomotion control of a self-balancing and underactuated bipedal exoskeleton: Task prioritization and feedback control
(IEEE, 2021-07)
This letter presents a study to understand how an underactuated bipedal exoskeleton with an arbitrary human user can exhibit robust dynamic walking behavior despite severe parameter uncertainty and external disturbances. ...
