Stability is a major problem with bilateral teleoperator when there is a transmission time delay. By adding adequate damping gain into position servo, a stable bilateral control can be achieved under the existence of time delay. However, large damping gain is required to stabilize the system and the performance is degraded. In this paper, the performance improvement by introducing a high-pass filter into a proportional derivative-based teleoperator with time delay has been studied. We proposed new control law and derived the stability condition. We demonstrated the performance improvement using a hybrid matrix, 1-degree of freedom (DOF), 2-DOF simulations, and 2-DOF peg-in-hole experiments.
