In this study, passive dynamic control of a manipulator is designed and realized. The control strategy is based on the idea that the shift in position and posture of an end effector attributable to an external force is regarded as deformation of the robot. The standard linear solid (SLS) model is used to generate the deformable behavior, which describes the combination of plastic and elastic deformation. In addition, the relation between the SLS model and Maxwell/Voigt models are analyzed. Physical simulations with a robotic arm are executed to validate and analyze the proposed control law.
