Abstract

One way to control the mechanical interactions between a manipulator and its environment is by specifying the manipulator's end-point impedance. According to this view, the function of a controller is to determine the force that the controlled system should apply in response to an externally-imposed state. In other words, the purpose of a controller is to determine an output force-field. Subsequent studies have suggested the possibility of combining the output force-fields generated by a number of separate controllers in order to approximate an arbitrary output field.
