Abstract The success of robot assembly tasks depends heavily on its ability to handle the interactions which take place between the parts being assembled. In this paper, a robust motion-control method is presented for robot manipulators performing assembly tasks in the presence of dynamic constraints from the environment. Using variable structure model reaching control concept, the control objectives is first formulated as a performance model in the task space. A dynamic compensator is then introduced to form the switching function such that the sliding-mode matches the desired model. A simple variable structure control law is suggested to force the system to reach and stay on the sliding mode so that the specified model is achieved. The proposed method is applied to control the prismatic joint of a selective compliance assembly robot-arm type robot for the insertion of printed circuit board into an edge connector socket. Various amounts of interaction forces are generated during the operation. Experimental and simulation results demonstrated the performance of the variable structure model reaching control approach. In comparison, it is shown that the popular position controllers such as proportional plus derivative control and proportional plus derivative with model-based feedforward control are not suitable for achieving good trajectory tracking accuracy in assembly tasks which experience potential interaction force.
