ROBOT CONTROL T. Bajd and M. Mihelj
Robot control • Robot control deals with computation of the forces or torques which must be generated by the actuators in order to successfully accomplish the robot task. • The robot task can be • execution of the motion in a free space, where position control is performed, or • in contact with the environment, where control of the contact force is required. • The choice of the control method depends on • the robot task, • the mechanical structure of the robot mechanism. • Robot control usually takes place in the world coordinate frame, which is defined by the user and is called also the coordinate frame of the robot task.
