Abstract :
We have presented a practical implementation of nonlinear control for bilateral force-reflecting teleoperators which brings into consideration the issues of robustness to parameter uncertainty, external disturbances, sensor noises and computational complexity. The result may be used in order to determine whether the accuracy of the mathematical model used and the subsequent linear compensator design are sufficient to guarantee stability of the system.
