abstract = {In mixed-initiative shared control, the final control command to the robot is a weighted sum of the commands from two or more agents (human operators or automatic control systems). In force controlled robots, scaling of forces without power-consistent scaling of velocities leads to loss of passivity of the overall system. In this work, we first pose the problem statement related to position drift, while using a state-of-the-art, passivity ensuring method for scaling of forces. We then formulate adaptive mixed-initiative shared control as an adaptive stiffness control approach. We ensure passivity of the adaptive stiffness controller with a novel, model-independent method. The salient features, benefits and limitations of the approach are emphasized through analyses, simulations and hardware experiments. The proposed approach is finally validated with a practical shared control task.}

abstract = {In this paper, a passivity-based controller is proposed for a reconfigurable multi-arm system, which is employed for in-orbit assembly. The reconfigurable system is composed of multiple anthropomorphic arms which can be connected to a torso or operate independently. The proposed control is applicable for all the morphologies of the multi-arm system while performing several operations required for the assembly task, such as walking on a telescope structure through dedicated mechanical interfaces. The constrained dynamics is exploited to derive a unified joint actuation control law for all the considered operations and morphologies. A Co-simulation framework was developed to simulate the operations for control prototyping, and simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed unified controller.},
