Typical biomechanical system such as human body and mammals possess abundant muscles which are more than required for motion generation of such systems. We have shown that the excess number of muscles play important roles in spring-like impedance modulation. redundant kinematic structure, which is another feature of biomechanical systems, allows modulations of inertia and damping properties of such systems. In this work, we propose a frequency modulation algorithm which combines the spring-like impedance with inertia impedance. also, a load distribution method for frequency modulation is also introduced. The frequency modulation represents a simulataneous control of force and kinematic redundancies, which has not been addressed in the literature.

현재 사용되고 있는 작업방식은 로봇과 positioner의 상대적인 위치 및 자세설정에 의하여 작업효율 및 성능향상을 꾀할 수 있음에도 불구하고 비효율적인 방법으로 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법중의 하나로 로보트와 positioner시스템을 하나의 기구학적 모델로 제어하는 방법이 제시된 바 있다. 상기의 연구에서는 로보트와 positioner(이하 R-P 시스템)간의 협조 제어가 여유자유도제어 방법을 이용하여 가능한 것임을 보였다. 그러나 용접작업과 같은 positioner 위에서의 연속경로 작업에 있어서는 작업공간과 특이성(singularity) 등에 관련된 여러 가지 문제점을 안고 있다. 특이성은 외부의 물리적인 제약이나 로보트의 기하학적 구조의 문제로 발생될 수도 있는데 이때 자유도의 손실을 유발하므로 임의의 원하는 방향으로 움직일 수 없게 된다. 이러한 면에서 R-P 시스템의 조작 성능 평가가 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 실제 산업현장에서 이용되고 있는 5 자유도를 갖는 수직 다관절형 로보트와 positioner에 대하여 협조 제어 방법을 검토한다. 그리고 작업공간 내의 조작성능평가를 위하여 Jacobian 행렬을 이용한 조작성지수를 위하여 Jacobian 행렬을 이용한 조작성지수를 도입하고 주어진 작업단면에 대한 이들의 분포를 등고선 그래프로 시각화 한다. 또한 조작성지수를 최대화 하는 알고리즘을 R-P 시스템에 적용하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 타당성을 검토한다

This paper poropsed an efficient optimization technuque to resolve redundancy and a trajectory planning for a high precision control using proposed optimization technique. The proposed techniqus is the joint disturbance torque optimizatioin considering redundancy in the joing servo control. Joint disturbance torque is not unknown it is described dynamic equation ignored friction and viscosity. The proposed technique is used the dynamic equatiion included the joint disturbance torque characteristics. Numerical example of 3 joint planar redundant robot manipulator is simulated. In the 2-norm minimization of joint disturbance torque we compared pseudoinverse local optimization with proposed technique, and the results showed better the proposed technique. So the proposed technique can be highly precision controlled redundant robot manipulators in the joint servo control.

The conventional robot manipulability is decomposed into linear manipulability and angular manipulability so that they may be analysed and visualized in easy way even in the case of 3 dimensional task space with 6 variables. After the Jacobian matrix is decomposed into linear part and angular part, constraint on joint velocities is transformed into linear task velocity and angular task velocity through the decomposed Jacobian matrices. Under the assumption of redundant robot manipulators, several optimization problems which utilize the redundancy are formulated to be solved by linear programming technique or sequential quadratic programming technique. After deriving the solutions of the optimization problems, we give graphical interpretations for the solutions.

Design method of a robust impedance control is proposed for the kinematically redundant manipulators. To achieve this objective, we first use the momentum feedback disturbance observer(MFDOB) scheme which can handle the nonlinear dynamics of a manipulator in Joint space. An extended task space formulation to describe the behaviors of task and null spaces of redundant manipulator is employed. Using the extended task space formulation and disturbance observer scheme, a robust impedance control method is designed. The performance of the proposed extended impedance controller is verified through experiments with a planar three links direct-drive manipulator.

Typically, robot system configured by articulated robot manipulator with 1 DOF transfer unit is being applied in automotive manufacturing automation process. Especially, 1 DOF transfer unit is necessary to extend workspace of robot manipulator. In this configuration, because transfer unit works only one direction, robot manipulator only works in one side in case of car body painting or sealing automation process. it is necessary three robot manipulator system at least. In this paper, in order to robot manipulator works effectively in car body sealing automation application, we are suggested omni-directional manipulator system and conducted studying on redundancy resolution method to solve manipulability-optimal problem.

In this paper, a motion control algorithm is developed by using fuzzy control technique, which makes a robot arm avoid unexpected obstacles when the robot is moving from the start to a goal posture. During the motion, if there exist no obstacles the robot arm moves along the pre-defined path. But if some obstacles are recognized and close to the robot arm, a fuzzy controller is activated to adjust the path of the robot arm. To show the feasibility of the developed algorithm, numerical simulations and experiments are carried out. In the experiments, redundant planar robot arms are considered for the collision avoidance test, and it was proved that the developed algorithm gives good collision avoiding performance.

This paper deals with motion planning algorithm for kinematically redundant manipulators that are not fixed to the ground. Differently from usual redundant manipulators fixed to the ground, the stability issue should be taken into account to prevent the robot from falling down. The typical ZMP equation, which is employed in human walking, will be employed to evaluate the stability. This work proposes a feed forward ZMP planning algorithm. The algorithm embeds the 'ZMP equations' indirectly into the kinematics of the kinematic model of a manipulator via a ZMP stability index The kinematic self motion of the redundant manipulator drives the system in such a way to keep or plan the ZHP at the desired position of the footprint. A sequential redundancy resolution algorithm exploiting the remaining kinematic redundancy is also proposed to enhance the performances of joint limit index and manipulability. In addition, the case exerted by external forces is taken into account. Through simulation for a 5 DOF redundant robot model, feasibility of the proposed algorithms is verified. Lastly, usual applications of the proposed kinematic model are discussed.

This paper present controller designs based on the configuration control framework for a redundant manipulator to accomplish the basic task of desired, end-effector motion, while utilizing the redundancy to achieve the additional tasks such as joint motion control, obstacle avoidance, singularity avoidance. etc. A task based decentralized adaptive scheme is then applied for the configuration variables to track some reference trajectories as close as possible. Simulation results for a direct-drive three-link arm in the vertical plane demonstrate its capabilities for performing various useful tasks.

A number of performance measures have been proposed for the quantification of dexterity for kinematically redundant manipulators. The use of such measures is especially important for kinematically redundant manipulators since they can satisfy the subtasks such as singularity avoidance and obstacle avoidance in addition to satisfying a specification of end-effector motion. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of performance measures proposed up to date are compared through simulations under the same environment. Besides, a new dexterity index for manipulators with multiple degrees of redundancy is proposed and shown to be effective through the simulation.
