Passivity Analysis of Discrete-time Counterparts of the Bilateral Controlled Teleoperation Systems
Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the passivity condition for discrete-time bilateral teleoperation systems.
Considering discrete-time controllers for a master-slave teleoperation system can simplify its implementation. Varieties of
control schemes have been utilized for the position error based architecture of bilateral teleoperation systems and major
concerns such as passivity and transparency have been studied. This paper takes into account the passivity conditions for the
discrete counterparts of P-like, PD-like, and PD-like + dissipation controllers. These conditions impose bounds on the
controller gains, the damping of the master and slave robots, and the sampling time which help researchers to provide
guidelines to have better transparency and passive teleoperation systems. Simulation results are performed to show the
effectiveness of the proposed criteria.
