In this paper, we develop a parallel inverted pendulum system that has the characteristics of the strongly coupled dynamics of motion by an elastic spring, the time-variant system parameters, and inherent instability, and so on. Hence, it is possible to approximate some kinds of a physical system into this representative system and to apply the various control theories to this system in order to verie their fidelity and efficiency. For this purpose, an experimental system of the parallel inverted pendulum has been implemented, and a control scheme using the eigenstructure assignment for decoupling control is presented in comparison with the conventional LQR optimal control method. Furthermore, this system can be utilized as a testbed to develop and evaluate new control algorithms through various setups. Finally, in this paper, the results of the experiment are compared with those of numerical simulations for validation.

본 논문은 2족 보행로봇을 위한 새로운 병렬메카니즘을 제안하고 있다. 각 다리는 3자유도를 갖는 병렬 플랫폼 2개가 시리얼로 연결되어 있는데, 허벅지와 정갱이 역할을 한다. 이 제안된 로봇을 위한 보행 궤적은 보행평면상에서는 중력보상역진자모드를 사용하여 구하였고, 횡방향으로는 역진자모드를 사용하여 구하였다. 지면으로부터의 반발력을 시뮬레이션하기 위해 발바닥 밑에 6자유도의 패드를 사용하였다. 제안된 메카니즘과 보행제어의 효율성은 SimMechanics를 이용한 12자유도 병렬 2족보행로봇의 시뮬레이션을 통해 입증하였다.

A robust nonlinear $H_2$/$H_{\infty}$ control method for a parallel inverted pendulum with structured perturbation and dry friction is proposed. By the random input describing function techniques, the nonlinear dry friction is approximated into the quasi-linear system. Introducing the quadratic robustness theorem, the robust $H_2$/$H_{\infty}$ control system is constructed for the quasi-linear perturbed system. But it is difficult to design a controller due to the nonlinear correction term in Riccati equation. With some transformations on the Riccati equation containing nonlinear correction term, the design of the robust nonlinear controller can be done easily. Hence when the stiffness and mass of the parallel inverted pendulum vary in certain ranges, the proposed control scheme has the robustness for both the structured perturbation and dry friction. The results of computer simulation show the effectiveness of our proposed control method.

In this paper, we propose new parallel mechanism of a 3 dimensional biped robot whose each leg is composed of two 3-dof parallel platforms linked serially. This proposed parallel mechanism is able to move freely in the man-made environment and is applied to various fields, such as medical, welfare, and so on. And a total weight of each leg is expected to be lighter than serial linked leg. One side leg consists of a 3-dof orientation platform and 3-dof asymmetric parallel platform. The former consists of three active linear actuators and seven passive joints, and the latter of two active linear actuators, one active rotational actuator and eight passive joints. Thus, there are two kinds of parallel platforms each chain's elements and active joint's positions are different for the biped robot to move freely like a serial link without the kinematics constraints. The effectiveness and the performance of the proposed parallel mechanism and locomotion trajectory are shown in computer simulations with a 12-DOF parallel biped robot.

In this paper, a nonlinear $H_2/H_\infty/LTR$ control for the flexible inverted pendulum of a parallel type with Coulomb friction is presented. The dynamic equation for this system is derived by the Hamilton's principle and assumed-mode method. This hard nonlinear system can be modeled by a the quasi-linear state space model using the REF method. It is shown that the $H_2/H_\infty$ control can be applied to the nonlinear controller design of the system having Coulomb frictions if the proper LTR conditions are satisfied. In order to present the usefulness of the suggested control method, the nonlinear $H_2/H_\infty/LTR$ controller is designed to control the Position of the end point of the flexible inverted pendulum that has Coulomb frictions present in actuator parts. The results are given via computer simulations.
