Its characteristics of being prone to deformation under external force, tiny assembly tolerance, and fragility impede the application of robotic assembly in this field. To achieve reliable and stable robotic automation assembly of FFC, an efficient assembly skill acquisition strategy is presented by combining a parallel robot skill learning algorithm with adaptive impedance control. The parallel robot skill learning algorithm is proposed to enhance the efficiency of FFC assembly skill acquisition, which reduces the risk of damaging FFC and tackles the uncertain influence resulting from deformation during the assembly process. Moreover, FFC assembly is also a complex contact-rich manipulation task. An adaptive impedance controller is designed to implement force tracking during the assembly process without precise environment information, and the stability is also analyzed based on the Lyapunov function. Experiments of FFC assembly are conducted to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is robust and efficient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0263574724001164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,31]],"date-time":"2024-10-31T12:45:44Z","timestamp":1730378744000},"page":"2908-2923","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Robot skill acquisition for precision assembly of flexible flat cable with force control"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Xiaogang","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8154-6421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peng","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenfu","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0263574724001164_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.robot.2020.103711"},{"key":"S0263574724001164_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TII.2018.2868859"},{"key":"S0263574724001164_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rcim.2018.12.012","article-title":"Symmetrical adaptive variable admittance control for position\/force tracking of dual-arm cooperative manipulators with unknown trajectory deviations","volume":"57","author":"Duan","year":"2019","journal-title":"Robot.
