Abstract

This paper addresses the stability of macro-mini robotic systems in a context of physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). A simple model including a one-degree-of-freedom (one-dof) macro robot and a one-dof mini robot is investigated using a state-space representation in order to assess the controllability and stability of the system. The conclusions of the analysis can be used in the design of multi-dof macro-mini systems. An example of a 12-dof macro-mini system is briefly described to illustrate potential applications.
