Abstract

It is one of the great challenges for a robot to learn compliant movements in interaction tasks. The robot can easily acquire motion skills from a human tutor by kinematics demonstration; however, this becomes much more difficult when it comes to the compliant skills. The reason why admittance control is called compliant control lies in the fact that three adjusting parameters of flexibility are added into its control model, i.e., a stiffness parameter, a damping parameter, and an inertia parameter. In this chapter, we will introduce the ...
