Abstract :
In this paper, we propose the control method of a writing robot for reproducing brush pressure and trajectory without force sensors. The main goal of this research is to estimate and save the brush pressure by using the internal model control. In order to evaluate the proposed controllers, the experimental device is developed. The paper shows that the proposed controller is able to reproduce the brush pressure on flat and inclined surface through experiments.
