Abstract:
This paper focuses on the impedance control for robotic manipulators with time-varying output constraints. High-order control barrier functions (HoCBFs) are firstly proposed for a nonlinear system with high relative-degree time-varying constraints. Then, the HoCBFs are introduced to impedance control for robotic manipulators, where the HoCBFs are employed to avoid the violation of time-varying output constraints in Cartesian space by quadratic program (QP), and the impedance control is designed to achieve compliance for human-robot interaction (HRI). In this way, the desired trajectory within the safety-critical region can be tracked without violating the output constraints due to the controller generated from QP, and the safe HRI can also be achieved because of the usage of impedance control method. Finally, simulation tests are conducted to verify the proposed control design methods.
