Motion‐Compensation Control of Supernumerary Robotic Arms Subject to Human‐Induced Disturbances

Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) are a novel type of wearable robot used as the third limb to assist the wearer to perform operations that are difficult or impossible for human hands. Although SRLs can compensate for and enhance human physiological abilities, the unpredictable disturbances caused by human movements significantly affect the coordinating control between the robot and wearer. In this study, a general modeling of supernumerary robotic arms (SRAs) on an omnidirectional floating base is presented. Using position and orientation feedback from sensors at the base and tip, three control methods based on different sensor feedback are proposed to improve tracking accuracy. Experiments on point and trajectory tracking are conducted on the SRAs. In the results (point and circular trajectory‐tracking errors with the manipulator as floating base: 1.18 ± 0.56 mm [mean ± standard deviation (SD) error] and 1.42 ± 0.43 mm, point trajectory‐tracking errors with the human shoulder as floating base: 1.37 ± 0.58 mm, and the performance in perforation positioning operation experiment), it is demonstrated that the proposed controllers enable the SRAs to achieve high‐precision tracking and good adaptability to different user movements and frequencies. Also, in the results, future studies on dynamic high‐precision manipulation of SRLs are motivated.
