Abstract
This paper proposes an impedance control method for redundant manipulators, which can control not only the end-point impedance using one of the conventional impedance control methods, but the joint impedance which has no effects on the end-point impedance. First, a sufficient condition for the joint impedance controller is derived. Then, the optimal controller for a given desired joint impedance is designed using the least squares method. Finally, computer simulations and experiments using a planar direct-drive robot are performed in order to confirm the validity of the proposed method.
