Abstract

Fast and robust collision monitoring is crucial to guarantee safe human-robot collaboration. In this paper, the loop shaping technique is used to improve the performance and robustness of conventional collision detection observers. External force estimated by the state-of-the-art first-order observer is fed to a lead-lag compensator for further processing, which results in a high-order observer. The lead compensator improves response speed in low-frequency range while the lag compensator enhances high-frequency noise attenuation of the observer. The effectiveness of utilizing the loop shaping technique is validated through simulation and experiments. The results show that the proposed observer has the fastest response speed and best noise attenuation performance compared with previous observers.
