Non-Intelligent and Intelligent Force Control for Robotic Applications: A Review

This paper presents an overview of force control approaches for robotic systems. It covers three main methods: non-intelligent methods, intelligent methods, and recent methods. In each section, the discussion focused on how the researcher implements their methods in control system to obtain the desired force control for system’s robustness towards external disturbances and internal uncertainties. The purpose of applying force control is to ensure that the executed robotic task does not damage the manipulated object or environment. The benefits for each method were highlighted at the end of each section.
