A bilateral control scheme of a haptic-virtual system using proportional-delayed controllers

Abstract : This paper presents an appropriate method to compute the stability analysis for a bilateral virtual-haptic system with the purpose of maintaining a kinematic correspondence between the haptic and the virtual device. Furthermore, the stability analysis is developed in two senses, independent-delay stability and a general analysis considering a fixed delay. At last, we present experimental results evaluated in a experimental bench using the Phantom Omni haptic device and the Malab-Simulink toolkit Phansim.
