If robots have the ability to track the parts on a moving conveyor belt, the efficiency of the manipulation tasks will be increased. This paper presents a motion planning algorithm for conveyor tracking. Tracking trajectory of a robot manipulator is determined by belt speed, initial part position, and initial robot position. Torque limit, maximum velocity, maximum acceleration and maximum jerk are also taken into account. To obtain the tracking solution, the problem is converted to the linear quadratic tracking problem. We describe the manipulator dynamics as second order state equation using parametric functions. Constraints on torques and smoothness are converted to those on input and state variables. The solution of the state equation which minimizes the performance index is obtained by dynamic programming method. Numerical examples are then presented to demonstrate the utility of the motion planning method developed.

This paper proposes an error model with integral action and a pole-place-ment self-tuning controller for robot manipulators in task coordinates. The controller can reject the offset due to any load disturbance without a detailed description of the robot dynamics. The error model parameters are estimated by the recursive least square identification algorithms, and controller parameters are determined by the pole-placement method. A computer simulation study has been conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control system in task coordinates for a 3-joint and 2-link spatial robot manipulator with payload.

The multi-layer neural network that has broadly been utilized in designing the controller of robot manipulator possesses the desirable characteristics of learning capacity, by which the uncertain variation of the dynamic parameters of robot can be handled adaptively, and parallel distributed processing that makes it possible to control on real-time. However the error back propagation algorithm that has been utilized popularly in the learning of the multi-layer neural network has the problem of its slow convergence speed. In this paper, an approach to improve the convergence speed is proposed using the fuzzy logic that can effectively handle the uncertain and fuzzy informations by linguistic level. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by computer simulation of PUMA 560 robot manupulator.

본 연구에서는 n-차 비선형 로보트 매니퓰레이터에서 링크의 동특성에 액류웨이터의 동특성을 포함시킨 복합모델(Combined Model)의 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 여기서 이 복합 모델의 알고리즘은 고속운전 및 빈번한 부하의 변동시에 중요한 역할을 하는 액류웨이터 모터의 동특성 방정식과 매니퓰레이터 링크의 운동을 묘사하는 동특성 방정식을 포함시킨 알고리즘을 의미한다. 또한 제안된 모델은 선영궤환 및 감결합 변환(Feedback Linearizing and Decoupling Transformation : FLDT)법을 이용하여 선형시스템으로 변환시켰다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고속운전 및 빈번한 부하의 변동에도 액류웨이터 모터의 전압과 전류를 조절함으로써 효과적으로 제어할 수 있게 하는 매니퓰레이터 모델 알고리즘을 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다.

This paper discusses about real time control applying sliding mode to robot manipulators whose nonlinear terms, which are inertia term, Corilis term and centrifugal force mterm, are regarded as disturbances. We could simplify the dynamic equations of a manipulator and servo system, which are composed of linear elements and nonlinear elements, by assuming that non-linear terms are external disturbance. By simplifying that equation, we could easily obtain a control input which satisfy sliding mode. We proposed a new control input algorithm to decrease chattering in the application of sliding mode control of manipulator whose nonlinear elements are regarded as disturbances. We could take impulse response of linear elements of dynamic equations of a robot manipulator and servo system by Signal Compression Method. So then, we could obtain the unknown parametes of its linear lements, which are used to obtain switching parameter satisfying sliding mode, by Signal Compression Method. In this experiments, we used DSP(Digital Signal Processor) controller to suppress chattering by obtaining a switching speed and to carry out real time control.

This paper proposes two types of the preview algorithms to predict the velocities and joint positions, and deals with a control approach using the preview algorithms for the precise trajectory control. Specifically, a predictor as the form of discrete time state equations is proposed based on the robot dynamics model linearized by the computed toque method. And another state predictor is proposed by the best line fitting in the least square sense, where present joint velocities and positions and several past positions are employed. Then computer simulations are performed for the SCARA robot with two d.o.f to show the validities of the proposed algorithms.

Up to now, hybrid torque/position control of robot manipulator have been researched under the assumption that link mass and/or load are known. This paper proposes a torque and position control method under unknown mass of links or load of a robot manipulator and the method extend control in joint space to control in operational space. In the method, known parameters are used to estimate unknown parameter. We illustrate the theory with some simulations and show that the result is effective.

This paper deals with a robot manipulator having actuator which is described by equation $D(q)\ddot{q}=u-P(q\;\dot{q},\;\ddot{q})$ where u(t) is a control input. We employ two steps of controller design procedures. First, a global linearization is performed to yield a decoupled controllable linear system. Then a controller is designed for this linear system. We provide a rigorous analysis of the effect of uncertainty of the dynamics, which we study using robustness results in time domain based on a Lyapunov equation and the total stability theorem. Using this approach we simulate the performance of controller of a robot manipulator.
