An adaptive fuzzy network for control of manipulating robot dynamic behavior

In this paper is considered the problem how to achieve a specific dynamic behavior of robot end-point from the aspect of impedance control and actuation redundancy. The target impedance is analytically formulated. Due to its complexity, analytical formulation is not suitable for real-time application. To overcome this problem, a simple fuzzy model of isotropic impedance in the form of adaptive fuzzy network is proposed. This model is incorporated in the general form of impedance control law, so that a new fuzzy-impedance control law is obtained. Verification of the proposed control law is provided by computer simulation, taking as example 2-d.o.f. manipulating robot.
