In this work, a master-slave manipulator system which will be used for handling objects contaminated by radioactivity has been addressed. The links of manipulators are driven independently by individual motors installed on the base and the driving torque is transmitted through pre-tensioned tendons. Since the measurable variables are the positions and rates of master/slave motors, only a constrained specific bilateral control structure is available. In the consideration of the flexibility of the tendon and constrained control structure, we derived a necessity for tendon design to prevent uncontrollable vibration mode through a modal analysis. Based on a reduced rigid body model, a control design was suggested and tendons were selected. The feasibility of the proposed analysis and tendon design were verified along with some simulation results.

In this study, position tracking and force reflection control of a master-slave manipulator which will be used for handling objects contaminated by radioactivity has been addressed. Since available measurements concerning on dynamic motion of the master-slave manipulator are restricted, a simple constrained control structure was suggested. In the consideration of the uncertain dynamic behaviors of the slave manipulator which is dependent upon mass and shape of work pieces grasped and dynamic properties of the environment contacted, a simple structured sliding mode control was suggested to guarantee robustness with respect to parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed control was applied to a 1-DOF master-slave link system. The control performances were verified along with some computer simulation results.

Since the heavy-duty power manipulator generally has high ratio gear reducers at its joints, its dynamic characteristics is much slower than that of the master manipulator and it is likely to encounter the saturation in the input magnitude when it is used as the slave manipulator in telemanipulation systems. This paper proposes a force reflecting and compliant control scheme for the heavy-duty power telemanipulator. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is that it provides a precise position and compliant control performance for a telemanipulator with control input saturation. The stability of the proposed scheme is analyzed and a series of experiments shows its performance.

This paper implements the standby power control system composed of a master device and slave devices. The standby power is managed by cutting power supply after controlling the relay of a slave device based on the authentication of master device's RFID card. RFID interface and wireless communication module are embedded in a master device, and one master device is linked with many slave devices in wireless. Each slave device executes the operation needed in power control independently. We implements the function of manual power on/off system in a slave device, and the function of user ID enrollment by switch manipulation in a master device. Also this system can communicate bidirectionally in wireless and runs on TinyOS. The result of experiment shows that the user authentication is executed in a master device and this authenticated information is transmitted to a slave device in wireless, and standby power is cutted by controlling the relay of a slave device. Installing this system in a building or an office, we can expect energy saving.

Basic types of bilateral servo systems were described and practical consideration in the bilateral servo controller design was introduced. Power assistance to the operator is essential for high efficiency and accurate force reflection is necessary for dexterous manipulation. This paper shows a controller structure under development at KIMM which employs nonlinear friction compensation and memory based gravity compensation technique for efficiency and dexterity.

The Master-Slave manipulator is the generally used remote handling equipment in the hot cell, in which the high level radioactive materials such as spent fuels are handled. To analyze the motion and to implement the training system by virtual reality technology, the simulator for M-S manipulator using the computer graphics is developed. The parts are modelled in 3-D graphics, assembled, and kinematics are assigned. The inverse kinematics of the manipulator is defined, and the slave of manipulator is coupled with master by the manipulator's specification. Also, the virtual workcell is implemented in the graphical environment which is the same as the real environment. This graphic simulator of manipulator can be effectively used in designing of the maintenance processes for the hot cell equipment and enhance the reliability of the spent fuel management.

In this paper, a prototype of the Bridge-Transported Servo Manipulator (BTSM) system is introduced, which has been developed to do operation and maintenance jobs remotely in a hot cell. The system consists of a telescopic transporter, a slave arm, a master arm, and a control system. Several tests such as a positional tracking, a weight handling, reliability, and operability have been performed and test results are presented. Based on the test results, an upgraded system which will be used during demonstrations of the advanced spent fuel conditioning process (ACP) has been designed.
