Myoelectric control of actuators

摘要

It is the purpose of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for a compliance control in each degree of freedom of a robotic system independently of other control parameters. This independent compliance control capability allows dexterous assembly operations to be done without elaborate fixture of a work piece. The method of controlling compliance and position of an actuator comprises the steps of acquiring a raw Myoelectric signal from the muscles of a teleoperator, processing the raw Myoelectric signal into compliance control and position control signals and applying the control signal to an actuator(s) of the teleoperated robotic system.
