Impedance control is an efficient and stable method of providing trajectory and force control in robotic systems. The procedure by which the impedance of the manipulator is changed is a very important aspect in the design of impedance based control schemes. In this work, a scheme is presented in which the control of impedance at the interface of the end effector and the space structure is achieved by introduction of a passive degree of freedom (DOF) in the controller of the robotic system. The impedance is shown to depend upon a compensation gain for the dynamics of the passive DOF. To illustrate the methodology, an example of a two DOF planer space robot is considered.
