작업 공간내에서 원하는 속도와 가속도로, 주어진 경로를 따라 이동하는 k차원 좌표계를 구성하고, 메니퓰레이터의 운동 방정식을 이 좌표계로 변환하여 운동 경로에 대한 선형화 식을 구하였다. 이 시스템의 입력을 변위와 속도의 함수로 정의한 후 안정성을 고려하여 이득을 결정하여 비례-적분제어 시스템을 구성하였다. 이와 같이 구한 적응 제어 알고리즘은 메니퓰레이터의 동적 특성에 대한 정확한 지식을 요하지 않고 또 계산이 간단하여 실시간 응용이 가능하다. 예로서 3차원 공간상의 반경 10cm의 원궤도에 적용하였을 때 최대 오차는 대략 1mm이었으며 상황 변화에 무감각함을 보였다.

본 연구는 오이 수확기 개발을 위해 메니퓰레이터를 설계 제작하였다. 실험에 사용한 3축 메니퓰레이터는 견고성, 내구성, 모멘트를 줄이기 위해 모터 및 감속기 등이 하중이 실리지 않는 곳에 장착하였다. 주요 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 3차원 공간상의 좌표에 대하여 메니퓰레이터의 10회 반복 위치 오차는 Z축에 관계없이 0.1mm 내외로 정확하게 작동하는 것으로 나타났다. 2) 실내 실험에서 25개의 오이에 대한 실험 결과 22개의 절단하여 92%의 성공률을 보였으나, 원인은 오이가 기형과이며, 수확한 후 시간이 경과하여 오이 과병의 물성이 변한 것으로 판단된다. 3) 실내 실험에서 오이 과병을 절단하지 못한 경우에도 메니퓰레이터는 오이에 0.1m 내외로 엔드이펙터을 접근시켰다. 4) 50개의 오이에 대하여 현장 실험을 한 결과 42개, 84%의 절단율을 보였다. 오차가 16% 발생한 것은 수확적기가 지나서 오이의 과병이 짧고 뭉툭해서 나타난 것으로 판단된다.

Industrial robots have increased in both the number and applications in today's material handling systems. However, traditional approaches to robot controling have had limited success in complicated environment, especially for real time applications. One of the main reasons for this is that most traditional methods use a set of kinematic equations to figure out the physical environment of the robot. In this paper, a neural network model to solve robot manipulator's inverse kinematics problem is suggested. It is composed of two Self-Organizing Feature Maps by which the workspace of robot environment and the joint space of robot manipulator is inter-linked to enable the learning of the inverse kinematic relationship between workspace and joint space. The proposed model has been simulated with two robot manipulators, one, consisting of 2 links in 2-dimensional workspace and the other, consisting of 3 links in 2-dimensional workspace, and the performance has been tested by accuracy of the manipulator's positioning and the response time.

This paper proposes a new planar robotic manipulator using stackable 4-BAR mechanisms for various applications. The proposed manipulator has an advantage that we can separate the driving actuators from a robotic manipulator. By separating actuators from the manipulator, we are able to separate the electrical component such as electrical wiring from the mechanical linkage/joint components in the robotic manipulator. Also, we suggest the kinematic analysis of the proposed manipulator which is composed of input mechanisms, multiple 4-BAR mechanisms and output mechanisms. Finally, we suggest numerical simulations to show the effectiveness of the proposed manipulator.

In this paper, two-DOF parallel manipulator has the sliders which execute a linear reciprocating motion depending on parallel guides and the end-effector which can be adjusted arbitrarily. To investigate the dynamic characteristics of the manipulator, the dynamic performance index is used. The index is able to be obtained by the relation between the Jacobian matrix and the inertia matrix. The kinematic and the dynamic analysis find these matrices. Also, the dynamic model of the manipulator is derived from the Lagrange formula. This model represents complicated nonlinear equations of motion. With the simulation results of the dynamic characteristic of the manipulator, we find that the dynamic performance index is based on the selection of the ranges for the continuous movement of the manipulator and the dynamic model derived can be used to the control algorithm development of the manipulator.

In this paper, the task-oriented optimal configuration in the sense of Velocity and Force manipulability measure of manipulator mounted on ROV is considered. Manipulability is a quantitative measure of manipulator's capability obtained under the limits of joint velocities or torques. The base arrangements and optimal joint configuration of manipulator, that maximize the manipulability measure under the constraints of given task, are investigated. With the two types of base arrangements of manipulator, workspace analysis is carried out to investigate merits and demerits of each arrangement on the view of manipulability measure. To find optimal joint configuration for a given task with each arrangement, the SQP(Sequential Quadratic Programming) optimization are performed. Weighted linear combination of velocity and force manipulability measure is object function for SQP optimization. The kinematic parameters of Dual Orion manipulator which will be mounted on KORDI ROV are used for simulation.

A binary parallel robot manipulator uses actuators which have only two stable states and is structure is variable geometry truss. As a result, it has a finite number of states and fault tolerant mechanism because of kinematic redundancy. This kind of robot manipulator has the following advantages compared to a traditional one. Feedback control is not required, task repeatability can be very high, and finite state actuators are generally inexpensive. Because the number of states of a binary robot manipulator grows exponentially with the number of actuators, it is very difficult to solve an inverse kinematic problem. The goal of this paper is to develop an efficient algorithm to solve an inverse kinematic problem when the number of actuators are too much or the target position is located outside of workspace. The backbone curve is generated optimally by considering the curvature of the robot manipulator configuration and length of link. Then, the robot manipulator is fitted along the backbone curve with some criteria.
