본 연구에서는 미세 물체를 조작하기 위해 젓가락 구조론 가진 3 텅스텐 젓가락형 그립퍼(이후 텅스텐 그립퍼로 명명)와 2 하이브리드 젓가락형 그립퍼(이후 하이브리드형 그립퍼로 명명)를 설계하고 제작하여 장단점을 비교 분석한다. 두 가지 그립퍼의 미세 핑거(Micro fingers)들은 모두 압전 다중 벤더(Piezoelectric Multilayer bender)와 스택(Stack) 구동기로 구동되었다. 그 중 압전 다중벤더는 물체를 잡을 때 굽힘(Bending) 운동을 만들고 스택은 팁간의 끝점이 일치하지 않을 매 일치되도록 잡는 방향과 수직한 방향으로 구동된다.(중략)

This paper presents a robust force tracking control of a small-sized SMA gripper with two fingers using shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators. The mathematical governing equation of the proposed system is derived by Hamilton's principle and Lagrangian equation and then, the control system model is integrated with the first-order actuator dynamics. Uncertain system parameters such as time constant of the actuators are also included in the control model. A robust two degree of freedom(TDF) controller using H$_{\infty}$ control theory, which has inherent robustness to model uncertainties and external disturbances, is adopted to achieve end-point force tracking control of the two-finger gripper. Force tracking control performances for desired trajectories represented by sinusoidal and step functions are evaluated by undertaking both simulation and experimental works.

The feasibility of using AE for detecting contact and slip between a workpiece and an end effector has been tested. Specifically, the relationship between the contact and slip motion and the characteristics of the AE signal is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The experimental results manifest that the high sensitivity of AE signal to the contact and slip makes it a good alternative as a robot tactile sensor.

The micro-gripper system is one of the systems that should be improved in the respect of performance for practical usage. In the previous works, the important issues are considered and presented using axiomatic design approach. In this paper, the functional requirements and design parameters are evaluated in order to improve the performance and efficiency of the system. The evaluation is a very difficult task since many variables are related to the outcomes. To provide a basis for correct design decisions, axiomatic design principles have been advanced. Since the framework of axiomatic design makes design issues easier to understand when they are analyzed, we used those as an evaluation tool. The object of the system is to handle micro-size parts. Main device is a micro-gripper using two bender-typed and one stack-typed PZTs as actuators. And it has three tips made of tungsten wires fur holding function. Also the system must satisfy other functional requirements for appropriate handling performance. The results of this study show design improvements of micro-gripper system such as structural change of gripper, additional element, and integration of physical parts. Axiomatic design guides presented suitable design parameters corresponding to functional requirements and made the design elements improve through diagrams of whole system.

Oriental melon (Cucumis melo var. makuwa) should be cultivated on the soil and be harvested. It is difficult to find because it is covered with leaves, and furthermore, it is very hard to grip it due to its climbing stems. This study developed and tested oriental melon harvesting robots such as an end-effector, manipulator and identification device. The end effector is divided into a gripper for harvest and a cutter for stems. In addition, it was designed to control the gripping and cutting forces so that the gripper could move four fingers at the same time and the cutter could move back and forth. The manipulator was designed to realize a 4-axis manipulator structure to combine orthogonal coordinate-type and shuttle-type manipulators with L-R type model to rotate based on the central axis. With regard to the identification device, oriental melon was identified using the primary identification global view camera device and secondary identification local view camera device and selected in the prediction of the sugar content or maturity. As a result of the performance test using this device, the average harvest time was 18.2 sec/ea, average pick-up rate was 91.4%, average damage rate was 8.2% and average sorting rate was 72.6%.

In addition to accurate position and velocity control, force control is necessary for a successful robot operation. In this paper, we have designed a simple robot gripper using a DC motor. For its force control, a current feedback control law is presented without using additional force sensors. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of the proposed control law. A digital controller is also developed with a TMS320LF2406 processor.

과잉온도 차온(Overtemperature $\Delta$T) 및 과잉출력 차온(Overpower $\Delta$T)트립에 쓰이는 온도 측정계통 총 지연시간은 6초로 구성되며 RTD 우회배관 제거시 4.5초의 RTD 응답시간(일차지연 상수로 가정)과 1.5초의 순수지연시간(전자회로 지연시간 + 그립퍼 풀림시간등)으로 구성된다. 그러나 RTD우회배관 제거전 사고분석을 일차지연상수를 3.5초, 순수지연을 2.5초로 모델링하였으므로 Simulink를 통한 영향분석과 Rack 응답시험 계단파 입력신호의 타당성을 평가하였다. RTD 응답시간은 전형적인 1차 지연요소로 나타내며 계전기나 제어봉 Gripper Release 시간 등은 순수 지연으로 가정하고 분석을 수행하고 기타 지연/지상 필터를 발전소와 동일하게 모델링하여 분석하므로써 발전소에서 일어나는 과도현상을 묘사할 수 있다는 점을 고려할 때 RTD우회배관 제거후 응답시간 지연상수가 바뀌더라도 안전하다는 결론에 도달했다.
