Abstract

Bilateral control is getting much attention as a key technology in teleoperation. A reproducibility is one of the performance indices of bilateral teleoperation, and four-channel acceleration-based bilateral control (4ch ABC) which has a high reproducibility with wide bandwidth enables operators to feel environmental impedance, clearly. Both position control and force control are required for the 4ch ABC, and a PD controller and a P controller are often utilized with a disturbance observer (DOB) and a reaction force observer (RFOB). This paper discusses how operators can feel environmental impedance with wide bandwidth in the 4ch ABC. A damping ratio of a PD controller has been, conventionally, set about 1 by imitating a traditional design principle of servo control. This paper theoretically reveals that a velocity feedback gain of a PD controller affects a bandwidth of reproducibility as a synergy with observer gains of a DOB, and a PD controller using a high velocity feedback gain is introduced. The validity of the theoretical analysis is confirmed by simulations and experimental results.
