This paper deals with implementation of network for distributed control system of a humanoid robot ISHURO(Inha Semyung Humanoid Robot). A humanoid robot needs much degree of freedom structurally and much data for having flexible movement. To realize such a humanoid robot, distributed control method is preferred to the centralized one since it gives a compactness, modularity and flexibility for the controllers. For organizing distributed control system of a humanoid robot, a control processor on a board is needed to individually control the joint motor and communication technology between the processors is required to transmit its information within control time. The processor is DSP-based processor and includes CAN network on a chip. It shares the computational load such as monitoring the sensor information and controlling the actuator between each of modules. In this paper, the communication architecture is suggested and its message protocol are discussed including message structure, time consumption for transmission, and controller structure at the view of distributed control for a humanoid robot. All of the sequence are simulated with Matlab and then verified with real walking experiment by ISHURO.

Real-time mobile robot controllers usually have been designed focused on control theory without paying attention to the importance of system integration. This paper demonstrates that autonomous mobile robots require a real-time controller with a wide range of capabilities in addition to control theory. An architectural frame work supporting these capabilities has been designed in actual hardware environments. Individual modules such as a path planner, a path tracking controller, position estimators, wheel controllers and other cruical elements have been successfully integrated into the control system using this frame work. The overall performance of the system was investigated via a series of tracking experiments with a prototype mobile robot named LCAR deveoped in the laboratory. The context of the research involves the architecture, its implementation and experimental results.

Friction force on robot systems is highly nonlinear and especially disturbs precise control of the robots at low speed. This paper deals with the dynamic friction compensation problem of a well-known one-link benchmark robot system. We consider the LuGre model because the model can successfully represent dynamic characteristics and various effects of friction phenomenon. The proposed controller is constructed as two parts. An adaptive controller based on dual observers is used to estimate and compensate the dynamic friction. In order to attenuate the friction estimation error and other disturbances, PI observer is additionally designed. Through the computer simulations with the benchmark system, this paper first examines the effects of nonlinear dynamic friction on the control performance of the benchmark robot system. Next, it is shown that the control performance against the dynamic friction is improved by using the proposed controller.

In this paper, a robust and more accurate trajectory tracking control method for a mobile robot is proposed using WIPDC(Weighted Integral Parallel Distributed Compensation) and T-S Fuzzy disturbance observer. WIPDC reduces the steady state error by adding weighted integral term to PDC. And, T-S Fuzzy disturbance observer makes it possible to estimate and cancel disturbances for a T-S fuzzy model system. As a result, the trajectory tracking controller based on T-S Fuzzy disturbance observer shows robust tracking performance. When the initial postures of a mobile robot and the reference trajectory are different, the initial control inputs to the mobile robot become too large to apply them practically. In this study, also, the problem is solved by designing an initial approach path using a path planning method which employs $B\acute{e}zier$ curve with acceleration limits. Performances of the proposed method are proved from the simulation results.

In this paper, a controller for two wheeled inverted pendulum robot, i.e., Segway type robot that is a convenient and easily handled vehicle is designed to have more stable balancing and faster velocity control compared to the conventional method. First, a widely used PID control structure is applied to the two wheeled inverted pendulum robot and proper PID control gains for some specified weights of users are obtained to get accurate balancing and velocity control by use of experimental trial-and-error method. Next, neural network is employed to generate appropriate PID control gains for arbitrarily selected weight. Here the PID gains based on the trial-and-error method are used as training data. Simulation study has been carried out to find that the performance of the designed controller using the neural network is more excellent than the conventional PID controller in terms of faster balancing and velocity control.

원자력 발전소용 증기발생기의 수위제어에 기존의 경우 주로 PI제어기를 이용하는데 반해 본 논문에서는 기타의 주급수유량에 대한 주증기 유량의 변화를 2-자유도 PID제어기를 이용해 제어하는 문제를 연구하였다. 2-자유도 PID제어기의 파라메터 .alpha..betha..gamma.를 외란에 대해 가인하도록 하고 설정치변화에 대해서는 기존의 PID 파라메터가 부담하도록 함으로서 외란 및 설정치 모두에 대해 고찰한 결과 기존의 PI제어기에 비해 성능이 우수함을 나타내었다.

이 글에서는 H/sub .inf./ 설계법의 장단점에 대해서 알아보았다. H/sub .inf./ 제어기법은 이론적인 연구와 함께 산업응용에 관한 연구도 활발하여, 자동차 제어, 항공우주 제어(고성능 헬리콥터의 비행제어, 비행체의 핏치축 제어, 우주구조물체의 제어), 공정제어(발전소에서의 핵반응로 제어), 및 기계제어 등에 광범위하게 응용되고 있다. H/sub .inf./ 제어기법은 여타의 다른 제어기 설계기법에 비해 많은 수학적 지식을 필요로 하고 제어이론 및 설계과정이 복잡한 것으로 인식돼 우리나라에서는 그다지 많은 관심을 끌지 못하고 있는 것 같다. 그러나, 응용사례에서 알 수 있는 것처럼 그 응용대상이 광범위하고, 또한 고성능의 제어목적을 달성하기 위해 필요한 제어기법으로 자리잡아가고 있으므로 보다 더한 관심을 기울일 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
