Abstract

Feedback control for controlling a robotic manipulator includes receiving measurement signals from one or more tactile sensors and filtering the measurement signals to align them with the directions of motion of the end effector to produce an impedance-shaping signal. The feedback control determines one or more control signals to the actuators to track a reference state of the end effector based on measurements of the state of the end effector and combines the control signal with the impedance shaping signal to produce control commands. Also, the feedback control may include submitting the determined control commands to the actuators causing a change in the state of the end effector, where the state of the end effector includes one or a combination of an end effector position, an end effector velocity, and an end effector force.
