    Toward Safe and High-Performance Human-Robot Collaboration Via Implementation of Redundancy and Understanding the Effects of Admittance Term Parameters
    (Cambridge University Press, 2022) Kanık, Mert; Ayit, Orhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver
    Summary Today, demandsin industrial manufacturing mandate humans to work with large-scale industrial robots, and this collaboration may result in dangerous conditions for humans. To deal with this situation, this work proposes a novel approach for redundant large-scale industrial robots. In the proposed approach, an admittance controller is designed to regulate the interaction between the end effector of the robot and the human. Additionally, an obstacle avoidance algorithm is implemented in the null space of the robot to prevent any possible unexpected collision between the human and the links of the robot. After safety performance of this approach is verified via simulations and experimental studies, the effect of the parameters of the admittance controller on the performance of collaboration in terms of both accuracy and total human effort is investigated. This investigation is carried out via 8 experiments by the participation of 10 test subjects in which the effect of different admittance controller parameters such as mass and damper are compared. As a result of this investigation, tuning insights for such parameters are revealed.

    A New Objective Function for Obstacle Avoidance by Redundant Service Robot Arms
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2016) Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Maaroof, Omar W.; Tatlıcıoglu, Enver
    The performance of task-space tracking control of kinematically redundant robots regulating self-motion to ensure obstacle avoidance is studied and discussed. As the subtask objective, the links of the kinematically redundant assistive robot should avoid any collisions with the patient that is being assisted. The shortcomings of the obstacle avoidance algorithms are discussed and a new obstacle avoidance algorithm is proposed. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated with tests that were carried out using the virtual model of a seven degrees-offreedom robot arm. The test results indicate that the developed controller for the robot manipulator is successful in both accomplishing the main-task and the sub-task objectives.
