Abstract
Tendon-sheath actuation mechanisms can provide compact and lightweight tendon routing. However, torque control of a tendon-sheath actuation system is challenging because of variable friction with respect to the sheath configuration. Model-based feedforward friction compensation algorithms have been developed to accurately deliver desired torque, but it is difficult to apply such algorithms to multi-degrees of freedom (DOFs) systems because of changes in sheath configurations that in turn alter the base tension and friction parameters. In this article, we develop a series elastic tendon-sheath actuation mechanism that allows feedforward torque control in multi-DOFs systems. The mechanism features series elastic elements on the motor side to reduce base tension changes and enable accurate input torque control. Friction is compensated by a feedforward controller with a modeled friction parameter to transmit desired torque to the distal joint under varying sheath configurations. The performance of the proposed series elastic tendon-sheath actuation mechanism is demonstrated in experiments using a control interface for a tele-operation system.
