Optimizing Electric Power Efficiency in Power-Assisted Human-Robot Collaborative Manipulation of Objects

Abstract

A power assist robotic system (PARS) was developed so human users could use it for co-manipulating (co-lifting) heavy objects. User’s weight perceptual cue was considered when deriving system dynamics and control. A computational model to estimate electric power consumption of the robotic system for object lifting tasks was derived, and its effectiveness was experimentally examined. Experimental results proved the effectiveness of the electric power estimation model. The results showed that electric power consumption was linearly related to payloads and robot velocities. The results can be used to design and develop predictive robot control strategies (e.g., MPC-Model Predictive Control) for optimizing electric power consumption, human interactions, and manipulation performance in manipulating large and heavy objects or materials in industries using industrial power assist robotic systems.
