Power scaling in port-Hamiltonian based telemanipulation

Abstract

In several applications involving bilateral telemanipulation, master and slave robots act at different power scales (e.g. telesurgery). The aim of this paper is to embed power scaling into port-Hamiltonian based bilateral telemanipulation schemes, In order to deal with nonnegligible transmission delays we propose a novel scattering based communication strategy to properly scale the power exchanged by master and slave while preserving a stable behavior of the overall scheme.
