description

A hybrid position-force control is proposed using a unified state feedback controller in combination with feedforward dead-zone compensation. Dead-zone compensator was constructed as inverse of the identified static map while the state feedback gains were obtained using a numerical optimization routine. An accurate state-space model affine in states and control, derived in a previous work, was used for closed-loop simulations and control tuning. A trigger event for automatic switching between position and force control was defined and integrated into overall control architecture alongside with a feedforward low-pass filter reducing high frequency components in the control signal. Experimental evaluations were performed for different references with automatic switching between the position trajectory following and force set value regulation.
