Remote force control of robot using PHANToM haptic model and force sensor

Abstract

The master slave control is a technique often used when controlling a remote robot. In this technique, the operator can work while he notices the force which is added to the robot. However, when the taken time in the communication between the robot (the slave) and the operator (the master) is long, accurate control becomes difficult. This research aims to generate the force environment using the posture of the robot and the value detected with the sensor. With this, even if the communication time was long, the operator could operate a robot appropriately while he sensed the force added to the robot.
