본 논문에서는 원자력발전소와 같은 극한환경에서 사용할 수 있는 로봇 원격제어를 위한 데이터 송수신용 통신 모듈 구현의 제약 조건을 기술하고 이를 해결할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 원격제어는 오퍼레이터가 원격지 로봇의 다양한 환경 정보를 인식하면서 로봇 제어 명령을 전송하는 특성을 갖는다. 오퍼레이터와 원격지 로봇 사이에 지속적인 데이터 통신에 의해 제어를 수행하므로, 통신 속도와 통신 프로토콜에 따른 현재의 통신 상태 보장 방안도 필요하다. 네트워크 기반 통신에서는 물리적 환경에 의한 영향을 포함하여 TCP/IP 프로토콜의 경우 핸드쉐이크와 혼잡회피 알고리즘 등에 의한 논리적 통신 속도의 지터가 발생하므로, 로봇 원격제어 시 이 문제를 충분히 검토해야한다. 로봇 원격제어를 위해서는 TCP/IP는 물론 UDP와 같은 통신 프로토콜과 시리얼 통신 기반의 다양한 프로토콜을 적용할 수 있는데, 송수신 데이터의 종류에 따라 적절한 프로토콜을 적용해야하며 통신 라인의 연결 상태도 확인할 수 있어야 한다.

본 논문에서는 기구적으로 여유자유도를 갖는 로봇 매니퓰레이터 시스템을 대상으로 하여, 로봇 랜드가 주어진 제적을 추종할 수 있는 관절 토크를 유도하기 위한 동적제어 식을 새로이 구성하고, 동적제어식을 만족하는 관절 토크 해들 중에 국소적으로 토크의 크기를 최적화하는 해를 사용하는 최적토크제어를 제안한다. 최적토크를 구하는 문제에 있어 관절 토크에 가중치 행렬을 적용하여 각 관절 토크의 최대 크기의 비를 반영할 수 있도록 한다. 또한, 로봇 핸드 자코비안-관성 역행렬의 영공간에서 나타나는 영공간 관절 속도를 정의하고 이러한 영공간 관절속도가 최적토크제어에서는 로봇 시스템을 불안정하게 할 수 있다는 것을 보인다. 최적토크 제어의 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 영공간 관절 속도를 제거하기 위한 소산토크를 유도하고, 최적토크제어식에 소산토크를 추가하는 방법을 제안한다. 평면형 3-자유도 로봇을 대상으로 한 모의실험을 통해 제안된 제어 방법의 우수성을 검증하고 그 결과를 분석한다.

In this paper, path planning, modelling, and control of manipulators are described. The path planning deals with specifying how to define the motion of hand along straight line paths in the minimum amount of time. A new model was developed for the manipulator, which is based on the classical equations of motion of a rigid body. A new control algorithm was developed which controls the manipulator in terms of the position and orientation of the hand.

A glass transfer robot is used for handling LCDs in the production line of flat panel displays under clean environments. During glass transfer operations of the robot, chattering phenomenon occurs at the robot hand. This deteriorates the accuracy and repeatability of the end-effector of the robot. In this paper, we present the kinematic solution of the robot and then analyze the cause of this chattering phenomenon in view of the mechanism and servo control and propose a practical solution that can reduce the chattering significantly at the robot hand of the glass transfer robot.

A humanoid robot hand with one thumb and two fingers has been developed. Each finger has the specially designed compact joints, called "MEC Joint", which convert the rotation of a motor to the swing motion of a pendulum. The robot hand with the MEC Joints is compact and relatively light but strong enough to grasp objects in the same manner as human being does in daily activities. In this paper the kinematic model and the torque characteristics of the MEC Joint are presented and compared with the results of the dynamic simulation and the dynamometer test. The dynamic behavior of the thumb and two fingers with MEC Joints are also presented by computer simulation.

In this paper, a smart home service robot McBot II is newly developed in much more practical and intelligent system than McBot I which we had developed a few years ago. Thus far, vacuum-cleaners have lightened the burden of household chores but the operational labor that vacuum-cleaners entail has been very severe. Recently, a cleaning robot was commercialized to solve but it also was not successful because it still had the problem of mess-cleanup, which pertained to the clean-up of large trash and the arrangement of newspapers, clothes, etc. Hence, we develop a new home mess-cleanup robot McBot II to completely overcome this problem on real environments. The mechanical design and the basic control of McBot II, which performs mess-cleanup function etc. in house, is actually focused in this paper. McBot II is mechanically modeled in the same method that the human works in door by using the waist and the hands. The big-ranged vertical lift and the shoulder joints to be able to forward move are mechanically designed for the operating function as the human's waist when the robot works. The mobility of McBot II is designed in the holonomic mobile robot for the collision avoidance of obstacle and the high speed navigation on the small area in door. Finally, good performance of McBot II, which has been optimally desinged, is confirmed through the experimental results for the control of the robotic body, mobility, arms and hands in this paper.

Various types of robotic arms are being used for industrial purposes, particularly with the small production of multi-products, and the importance of the gripper, which can be used in industrial fields, is increasing. This study evaluated a variable stiffness mechanism gripper that can change the stiffness using the nonlinearity of a flexible material. A prototype of the gripper was fabricated and examined to confirm the change in stiffness. The previous gripper was unable to grip objects in some situations with three variable stiffness mechanism. In addition, these mechanisms were not balanced and rarely rotated when the object was gripped. Therefore, a new type of gripper was needed to solve this problem. Inspired by the movements of the human palm and Venus Flytrap, a new type of a variable stiffness soft robot hand was designed. The possibility of grasping could be increased by interlocking the palm folding mechanism by pulling the tendon attached to the variable stiffness mechanism. The soft robotic hand was used to grasp objects of various shapes and weights more stably than the previous variable stiffness mechanism gripper. This new variable stiffness soft robot hand can be used selectively depending on the application and environment to be used.

It has been shown that the adaptive grasp feature can be implemented by underactuated robotic hands with a minimal number of actuators. Following this approach, a new design of prosthetic hand is presented. A method is proposed for evaluating grasp performance using cylinders, spheres, and square bars of various sizes. The effects of the major design parameters were investigated experimentally and an improved design is proposed.

An adaptive robot hand (AR-Hand) has a stable grasp of different objects in unstructured environments. In this study, we propose an AR-Hand based on a tendon-driven mechanism which consists of 4 fingers and 12 DOFs. It weighs 0.5 kg and can grasp an object up to 1 kg. This hand based on the adaptive grasp mechanism is able to provide a stable grasp without a complex control algorithm or sensor system. The fingers are driven by simple tendon structures with each finger capable of adaptively grasping the objects. This paper presents a method to decide the joint stiffness. The adaptive grasping is verified by various grasping experiments involving objects with different shapes and sizes.
