Hybrid Controller for Robot Manipulators in Task-Space with Visual-Inertial Feedback
This paper presents a visual-inertial-based control strategy to address the task space control problem of robot manipulators. To this end, an observer-based hybrid controller is employed to control end-effector motion. In addition, a hybrid observer is introduced for a visual-inertial navigation system to close the control loop directly at the Cartesian space by estimating the end-effector pose. Accordingly, the robot tip is equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a stereo camera to provide task-space feedback information for the proposed observer. It is demonstrated through the Lyapunov stability theorem that the resulting closed-loop system under the proposed observer-based controller is globally asymptotically stable. Besides this notable merit (global asymptotic stability), the proposed control method eliminates the need to compute inverse kinematics and increases trajectory tracking accuracy in task-space. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed control scheme are evaluated through computer simulations, where the proposed control structure is applied to a 6 degrees-of-freedom long-reach hydraulic robot manipulator.
