FORCE CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS: A CONCISE REVIEW

Jozef Suchý - Hassan Hammoud

   Since the beginning of 80-ties of the past century many papers and some reviews were published about the present state of robot force control with industrial robots. Most of them paid no attention to the way of the implementation of these algorithms, only few could show experimental results, and most of them showed just simulation results. This article gives the overview of possibilities to implement the robot control with some serially produced industrial robots, and the conditions under which this kind of control is possible and which robots are developed to implement it.

Keywords: industrial robots, force control, force/torque sensors
