Abstract

Impedance shaping is a fundamental requirement for physical human-robot interaction. In order to achieve a large range impedance capability, light quantity measurement based torque feedback regulation has been introduced, based on which a stiff actuator design can be realized with reliable torque measurements, thus leading to high performance of torque regulation and large range of impedance shaping. Physical human-robot interaction experiments' results also demonstrate its great advantage over motor current and strain gauge based control.
