Abstract: More complex problems of simultaneous position and internal force control occur with cooperative manipulator systems than that of a single one. In the presence of unwanted parametric and modelling uncertainties as well as external disturbances, a decentralised position synchronised force control scheme is proposed. With a feedforward neural network estimating engine, a precise model of the system dynamics is not required. Unlike conventional cooperative or synchronised controllers, virtual position and virtual synchronisation errors are introduced for internal force tracking control and task space position synchronisation. Meanwhile joint space synchronisation and force measurement are unnecessary. Together with simulation studies and analysis, the position and the internal force errors are shown to asymptotically converge to zero. Moreover, the controller exhibits different characteristics with selected synchronisation factors. Under certain settings, it can deal with temporary cooperation by an intelligent retreat mechanism, where less internal force would occur and rigid collision can be avoided. Using a Lyapunov stability approach, the controller is proven to be robust in face of the aforementioned uncertainties.
