Position drift compensation in port-Hamiltonian based telemanipulation

Abstract

Passivity based bilateral telemanipulation schemes are often subject to a position drift between master and slave if the communication channel is implemented using scattering variables. The magnitude of this position mismatch can be significant during interaction tasks. In this paper we propose a passivity preserving scheme for compensating the position drift arising during contact tasks in port-Hamiltonian based telemanipulation improving the kinematic perception of the remote environment felt by the human operatorPassivity based bilateral telemanipulation schemes are often subject to a position drift between master and slave if the communication channel is implemented using scattering variables.
