Robust stability of a teleoperation control scheme subject to time-varying communication delays
Résumé
This chapter addresses the robust stability of some bilateral teleoperation control scheme subject to various constant and/or time-varying delays in the communication channel. The stability conditions arc derived using frequency-domain techniques. More specifically, in the case of constant delays, the stability regions of the systems’ parameters are completely characterized. Next, the analysis is extended to the case of time-varying unccnain delay, and we derive sufficient (closed-loop) stability conditions.
