Summary

In this paper, we design a position/force controller for cooperative robots during constrained motion. The proposed scheme is based on the knowledge of the manipulator dynamics and does not require measurements of link velocity or end-effector contact forces. A well-known velocity observer and the design of a force observer are used. The validity of the proposed method is verified by means of experimental results.
