It is well-known that the redundancy can be exploited to avoid the singular regions of the redundant manipulator by increasing the manipulability. The method, however, requires exprecessive energy and gives rather large tracking errors since the manipulability is increased repidly so that the manipulator avoid the singular region quickly. In this paper, a new method is proposed in which the increasing speed of the manipulability is confined to a certain bound. Therefore, in the proposed method, the movement energy and the tracking errors are reduced. The computer simulation studies are performed to show the validity of the method.

In this paper, fault tolerant algorithm is presented for a servo manipulator system. For fault tolerance of a servo manipulator system, reconfiguration algorithm accommodating a motor's failure has been presented. The algorithm considers a transport's degree of freedoms as redundant joints of a servo manipulator. The reconfiguration algorithm recovers the end effector's motion in spite of one motor's failure A modified pseudo inverse redistribution method has been proposed for the reconfiguration algorithm. Numerical examples and hardware tests have been presented to verify the proposed methods.

철강석 또는 석탄의 적치장에서는 이들 원석을 퍼내어 용광로로 보내주는 불출기(reclaimer)가 사용되고 있다. 불출기를 자동화하려면 야적파일에 불출용 회전 버킷(bucket)을 자동착지시키는 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 야적 파일 표면위의 버킷 착지점을 추출하는 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 파일의 3차원 형상 검출, 파일의 등고선 추출, 불출기의 역기구학해의 도출 및 착지점 추출 알고리즘으로 이루어진다. 파일의 3차원 형상과 거리를 측정하기 위한 3차원 형상 검출기가 2차원 레이저 검출기에 수평주사(scanning)용 모터를 부착하여 개발하였고, 다 단계의 영상처리를 통해 버킷이 작업할 수 있도록 파일의 작업 등고선을 추출하였다. 불출기가 회전 버킷에 의해 기구학적으로 여유자유도로 이루어 졌음을 보였으며, 역기구학 해를 구하는 방법을 아울러 제시하였다. 그리고 버킷의 착지점을 과부하 방지와 단위 시간당 생산성을 최대화하는 성능기준에 근거하여 구하였다. 또한 개발된 시스템을 제철소 원석 야적장의 불출기에 설치 시험하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

This paper analyzes the standing balance of four-legged robots which are useful for delivering objects or investigating of information. For this, we specify an effective model of general four-legged robots and propose a boundary condition based on the standing stability of the four-legged walking. To verify such a standing balance, we consider some exemplary free motions at the standing mode of the robot and discuss on the robot's balance margin. The analysis specified in this paper will be applicable for effective balancing control of various quadruped robotic walking.

In this paper, fault tolerant mechanisms are presented for a servo manipulator system designed to operate in a hot cell. A hot cell is a sealed and shielded room to handle radioactive materials, and it is dangerous for people to work in the hot cell. So, remote operations are necessary to handle the radioactive materials in the hot cell. KAERI has developed a servo manipulator system to perform such remote operations. However, since electric components such as servo motors may fail by radiation, fault tolerant mechanisms have to be considered. For fault tolerance of the servo manipulator system, duplication mechanism increasing the reliability of the transport's driving motors and reconfiguration algorithm accommodating the slave's motor failure have been presented. The reconfiguration algorithm recovering the end effector's motion in spite of one motor's failure is based on control allocation redistributing redundant axes. The constrained optimization method and pseudo inverse method have been adopted for control allocation. Simulation examples and real test results have been presented to verify the Proposed methods.

This paper proposes an Adaptive Double Buffer Model. As a new FIFO buffer model, this technique minimizes packet losses from network congestion by logically managing buffers. It allocates the spare spaces of non-congested buffers to congested buffers by allowing receive/send buffers to share two queues, and hence it minimizes packet losses. In contrast to the buffer model utilizing a free list, this buffer model can prevent the bubble phenomenon caused by a memory leak and thereby apply to a network buffer in a restricted environment. Also, compared with the model using an way, this model brings maximum 100 percent improvement in accepting packets and compared with the model utilizing a free list, this model has the similar efficiency Results of the performance test on Adaptive Double Buffer Model, shows that this proposed model decreases packet losses and enhances memory efficiency.
