A collision-free path planning algorithm between an articulated robot and polyhedral obstacles using configuration space is presented. In configuration space, a robot is treated as a point and obstacles are treated as grown forbidden regions. Hence path planning problem is transformed into moving a point from start position to goal position without entering forbidden regions. For mapping to 3D joint space, slice projection method is used for first revolute joint and inverse kinematics is used for second and third revolute joint considering kinematic characteristics of industrial robot. Also, three projected 2D joint spaces are used in search of collision-free path. A proper example is provided to illustrate the proposed algorithm.

최근 몇년사이에 산업 전분야에서 로보트의 이용이 증가하고 있는데, 로보트 시스템의 주요목적은 작업영역내에서 작업물을 빠르고 정확하게 다른 장소로 이동시키는 것이다. 이러한 로보트의 이용에 있어서의 어려움 중 하나는 로보트가 목표점으로 움직이는 동안에 작업장내에 있는 장애물, 즉 각종 공구, 시설등의 물체와의 충돌을 피할 수 있도록 프로그램 되어야 하며, 이를 위해서 많은 시간이 소요된다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 SOM 네트워크를 이용하여 장애물이 존재하는 작업 공간에서 로보트가 장애물과 충돌없이 움직일 수 있는 경로를 구하기 위한 SOM의 응용방안을 소개한다. 본 연구에서는 SOM의 최적 size, 학습계수 요인을 고려하여 2관절 로보트의 충돌회피 경로 발견을 위한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

In this paper, a system program is introduced for the effective operation of revolute type robot manipulator. The I system program consists of several modes and specific functions. These modes and functions are flexible and easy to use because the structure is modular and conversational. This program had implemented and verified the efficiency together with a five axes robot.

An articulated, multifinger mechanical hand can carry out grasping and manipulation operations on objects of different type and shape. In this paper the architecture of the mechanical hand is presented. Joints are driven by two antagonist tendons. Strain gauges are used to derive tendon tensions, and located in the palm of the hand. Angular defection of the joints is measured by Hall effect sensors attached to the joints. A multiprocessor-based architecture for controlling the hand is illustrated.

In this paper, we propose an optimal method for the tracking a trajectory of the end-effector of flexible robot arms with multiple joints. The proposed method finds joint trajectories and joint torques necessary to produce the desired end-effector motion of flexible manipulator. In inverse kinematics, optimized joint trajectories are computed from elastic equations. In inverse dynamics, joint torques are obtained from the joint equations by using the optimized joint trajectories. The equations of motion using finite element method and virtual work principle are employed. Optimal control is applied to optimize joint trajectories which are computed in inverse kinematics. The simulation of flexible planner manipulator is presented.

This paper develops a robot arm for propeller blade grinding. The grinding work requires a high stiffness robot arm to reduce deformation and vibration which are generated during machining operation. Conventional articulated robots have serial connecting links from the base to the gripper. Thus, they have very weak structure to the stiffness for grinding operation. Stewart Platform is a typical parallel robotic mechanism with very high stiffness but it has small work space and large installation space. This research proposes a new grinding robot arm by combining parallel mechanism with serial mechanism. Therefore, the robot has large range of work space as well as high stiffness. This paper introduces the automatic system for propeller grinding utilizing the robot and the design of proposed robot arm.

Industrial robot has played a central role in the production automation such as welding, assembling, and painting. There has been, however, little effort to the application of robots in machining work(grinding, cutting, milling, etc.) which is typical 3D work. The machining automation requires a high stiffness robot arm to reduce deformation and vibration. Conventional articulated robots have serially connecting links from the base to the gripper. So, they have very weak structure for he machining work. Stewart Platform is a typical parallel robotic mechanism with a very high stiffness but it has a small work space and a large installation space. This research proposes a new machining robot arm with a double parallel mechanism. It is composed of two platforms and a central axis. The central axis will connect the motions between the first and the second platforms. Therefore, the robot has a large range of work space as well as a high stiffness. This paper will introduce the machining work using the robot and design the proposed robot arm.

An adaptive control scheme has been recognized as an effective approach for a robot manipulator to track a desired trajectory in spite of the presence of nonliearity and parameter uncertainty in robot dynamics model. In this paper, an adaptive control scheme for a robot manipulator is proposed to design robust controller using model reference adaptive control technique and hyperstability theory but it does away with] assumption that the process is characterized by a linear model remaining time invariant during the adaptation process. The performance of controller is demonstrated by the simulation about position and speed control of a six-link manipulator with disturbance and payload variation.
