Implementation of multirate acceleration control based bilateral control system including mode transformation on FPGA

FPGA has been focused on as a controller of robot systems. Haptic robot system based on bilateral control system is one of the significant applications using the FPGA. In this paper, the bilateral control system including mode transformation is implemented on the FPGA. The bilateral control system is based on acceleration control system. The mode transformation is a transformation between robot mode space and operational mode space. Furthermore, multirate sampling method is introduced to consider hardware limitation. Some experimental results are shown in order to verify the validity of the implementation.
