해저에서 20kg 이상 작업물의 이송을 포함하는 다양한 작업을 수행할 수 있는 전기 모터 기반의 새로운 5자유도 고성능 수중 매니퓰레이터의 개발에 관해 연구하였다. ROV나 AUV에 적용하여 이들의 이동을 원활하게 하고 소형경량임에도 고가반하중의 성능을 갖는 25kg의 경량 구조로 설계하였다. 매니퓰레이터의 관절구동기는 방수를 위한 새로운 2중 오일자켓 구조를 갖는 모듈로 설계하고 제작하였다. 또한, 개발한 관절구동시스템의 우수한 토크성능을 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 그리고 이를 적용한 소형 5자유도 고성능 수중 매니퓰레이터를 제작하였다.

본 논문에서는 수중 건설 로봇을 제어하기 위한 모델 기반 메타 강화 학습 방법을 제안한다. 모델 기반 메타 강화 학습은 실제 응용 프로그램의 최근 경험을 사용하여 모델을 빠르게 업데이트한다. 다음으로, 대상 위치에 도달하기 위해 매니퓰레이터의 제어 입력을 계산하는 모델 예측 제어로 모델을 전송한다. MuJoCo 및 Gazebo를 사용하여 모델 기반 메타 강화 학습을 위한 시뮬레이션 환경을 구축하였으며 수중 건설 로봇의 실제 제어 환경에서의 모델 불확실성을 포함하여 제안한 방법을 검증하였다.

This paper presents the results of a study on the control system for an underwater manipulator controlled by a master arm through LED communication. The underwater manipulator was designed to be actuated by electric motors with six degrees of freedom for operation in various underwater environments. The master arm, which can remotely control the manipulator, was designed with a structure similar to the manipulator for convenient control. An underwater LED communication system was developed to communicate between the master arm and underwater manipulator. An integrated control program was developed that included data conversion, monitoring, datalogging, and filtering. Some experiments were performed to verify the performance of the developed control system of the master arm, manipulator, and LED communication system, and the results are presented.

Dynamic chanracterisitcs and control of a submerged working robot manipulator have been investigated for articulated type robot manipulator with three revoluted joints. A dynamic equation of the manipulator has been derived. The dynamic equation includes not only mass matrix, centrifugal and Coriolis terms and gravity terms but also added mass, buoyant force and drag force terms, which are important terms for underwater motion description. A series of simulations using computed torque method have been performed for the cases of straight and circular trajectory motion controls. The results of this study show that the dynamic characteristics of the submerged working robot manipulator are very different from that of the manipulator which works in air. The influences of added mass, buoyant force and drag force terms to the total required torques have been discussed as distribution ratios to the total required torques.

In this paper, we propose an optimal design for starfish capturing manipulator module with four-bar linkage mechanism. A tool link with compliance is attached on the four-bar linkage, and the tool repeats detaching starfish from the ground and putting it into the storage box. Since the tool is not rigid and the manipulator is operating underwater, the trajectory of the tool tip is determined by its dynamics as well as kinematics. We analyzed the trajectory of the manipulator tool tip by quasi-static analysis considering both kinematics and dynamics. In optimization, the lengths of each link and the tool stiffness are considered as control variables. To maximize the capturing ability, capturing stroke of the four-bar manipulator trajectory is maximized. Reaction force and reaction moment, and other kinematic constraints were considered as inequality constraints.

In this paper, redundancy resolution of UVMS (underwater vehicle-manipulate. system) is addressed. In general, UVMS has redundant DOFs (degrees of freedom) as many as DOFs of manipulator and these redundant DOFs can be used to optimize the configuration of UVMS while satisfying given tasks. We propose a performance index for redundancy resolution which minimizes the restoring moments of UVMS. The restoring moment can cause unintentional change of poses of UVMS. If the restoring moments remain small, control effort for keeping the poses of UVMS decreases. This means that energy consumption can be reduced by minimizing the restoring moments during conducting tasks. Proposed performance measure is optimized by gradient projection method. Generated trajectories by this redundancy resolution are tracked by robust PID controller. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate performance of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, two schemes are introduced for dynamic simulation of underwater robotic systems. One is principle of dynamical balance, which is an easy and powerful tool for formulating dynamic equations of composite systems such as underwater vehicle-manipulator system. In the dynamic modeling, this principle gives us the closed-form of dynamic equations on matrix Lie group. The other is geometric integration algorithm, called 4-th order explicit Munthe-Kaas method. By this method, the derived differential equations can be integrated preserving geometric structure. Adopting these two schemes, dynamic simulation of underwater vehicle- manipulator system can be conducted more easily and more reliably.
