Abstract
Humanity is expanding its reach into space, underseas, and hostile environments through robotics. It is desired that remote, robotic workers are competent at increasingly sophisticated tasks, including servicing, assembly and manufacturing. A key ingredient in this pursuit is for machines to sense, interpret and respond effectively to contact forces and torques. The present research describes the development and testing of low-level, compliant-motion behaviors for robots performing contact tasks. The behaviors are evaluated in a variety of useful tasks, commanded by a human operator invoking supervisory controls. The approach is shown to be tolerant of communication latencies, and makes the robotic operations inherently safe for the robot and its environment. It is further shown that the human interface is easy to master, and that low-level behaviors can be combined to achieve higher levels of robot autonomy.
