Abstract

Kinematic conditioning at singularity is the problem where small motions in cartesian space cause excessive joint velocities. This problem is significant in teleoperation. Haptic feedback provides the bi-directional flow of information which allows the operator to control the telerobot interactively. Haptic representation of kinematic singularity is proposed as a new approach to achieve better performance in telerobotic control near kinematic singularities. Four different singularity force feedback methods are defined and studied. Experimental results with a force feedback Master and simulated Slave system show that teleoperation performance near singular configurations was affected and improved by using singularity force feedback.
