Popis: The workspace of a robot can be restricted by virtual fixtures to assist an operator in physical human–robot interaction tasks. This paper introduces a combination of surface following control (SFC) with compliance control and presents a path/SFC approach to systematically generate virtual fixtures. This approach allows implementation of numerous types of constraints like guidance and forbidden region virtual fixtures, hard and soft constraints, as well as static and dynamic virtual fixtures, and their combinations. Additionally, closed-loop stability proofs of the proposed control concepts are given. The flexibility of the presented approach is demonstrated by a series of measurement results from an industrial robot.
