Abstract

Shared compliance control (SCC), which allows the human operator to interact with a compliantly controlled telerobot hand, has been implemented by a low- pass-filtered force/torque feedback in the robot side. Unlike force reflection or kinesthetic force feedback (KFF), SCC does not have the instability problem casued by a long communication time delay, since force feedback is done locally in the robot side. To evaluate SCC in comparison with KFF, peg-in-hole tasks were performed with time delays from 2 ms to 4096 ms introduced between the master and slave arm. The effects of the time delay were quantified in terms ofcompletion time and sum-of-squared force with six test operators for both SCC and KFF. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of SCC over KFF for time-delayed telemanipulation. Increase rates of both task completion time and sum-of-squared force with increased time delay were much lower with SCC than with KFF. Only SCC enabled task performance at delays about 1 second, indicating that SCC is a promising and essential scheme for time-delayed telemanipulation.
