When the manipulator interacts with an unknown environment or human operator, huge contact force will be generated with a high-stiffness trajectory tracking controller: to avoid violent collisions, the virtual passive actuator is proposed to diminish the interaction force, and adjust the system stiffness to adapt to the environment. With the mathematical model of the virtual passive actuator, the system\u2019s stable region is determined based on the Routh\u2013Hurwitz criterion. The influence of operation time delay, filter and model uncertainty is taken into consideration. Finally, the virtual passive actuator is incorporated into a manipulator, and validity is verified through a set of experiments. Experiment results show that, with the proposed controller, virtual passive actuator joint deformation is proportional to the external torque, and the proportional ratio is close to the stiffness setting: it can perform dynamic behavior just like a spring-damper system when subject to step external torque.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0959651816683063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,25]],"date-time":"2017-04-25T04:13:18Z","timestamp":1493093598000},"page":"107-116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Stability analysis of virtual passive actuator with time delay and parameter uncertainties"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"231","author":[{"given":"Xiaoxu","family":"Cao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang University, College of Mechanical Engineering Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Linyi","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang University, College of Mechanical Engineering Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yaoyao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang University, College of Mechanical Engineering Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yihong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang University, College of Mechanical Engineering Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qingxun","family":"Di","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang University, College of Mechanical Engineering Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cunxin","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou Universal Control Mechatronical Engineering LLC.
