Abstract
Force control is used to handle the physical interaction between a robot and the environment and also to ensure safe and dependable operation in the presence of humans. The control goal may be that to keep the interaction forces limited or that to guarantee a desired force along the directions where interaction occurs while a desired motion is ensured in the other directions. This entry presents the basic control schemes, focusing on robot manipulators.
