In this paper, we introduce the improved control method are communicated between a master and a slave robot in the teleoperation systems. When the master and slave robots are located in different places, time delay is unavoidable under the network environment and it is well known that the system can become unstable when even a small time delay exists in the communication channel. The time delay may cause instability in teleoperation systems especially if those systems include haptic feedback. This paper presents a control scheme based on the estimator with virtual master model in teleoperation systems over the network. As the behavior of virtual model is tracking the one of master model, the operator can control real master robot by manipulating the virtual robot. And LQG/LTR scheme was adopted for the compensation of un-modeled dynamics. The approach is based on virtual master model, which has been implemented on a robot over the network. Its performance is verified by the computer simulation and the experiment.

원격조작시템은 일반적으로 주로봇, 종로봇과 이들을 연결하는 통신채널로 구성되는데, 통신채널에는 반드시 시간 지연이 존재하고 이는 전체 시스템을 불안정하게 만드는 가장 큰 요인으로 알려져 있다. 시간지연으로 인한 불안정성 문제를 해결하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔는데, 최근에는 웨이브변수를 적용한 원격조작시스템이 많이 사용되고 있다. 웨이브변수를 적용하면 통신채널에 시간지연이 존재하더라도 수동성 관점에서 안정성을 보장할 수 있고, 다른 제어방법에 비하여 구조가 간단하기 때문에 구현하기가, 용이한 장점이 있으나, 특성 임피던스에 따른 성능 변화를 해석한 연구는 없었다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 웨이브변수를 도입한 원격조작시스템에 대하여 특성 임피던스에 따른 성능을 투명성의 관점에서 해석하고자 한다. 또한, 시간 지연이 존재하는 원격조작시스템에 웨이브 변수를 적용한 실험을 통하여 시간지연 시스템에 대한 웨이브 변수의 강인성을 보이고자 한다.

원격지의 로봇을 조작함에 있어, 원격지의 상황을 정확히 인식하는 것이 우선적으로 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 로봇에 설치된 스테레오 카메라를 통해 입력된 비디오를 네트워크를 통해 전달하고, 조작 공간에 있는 사용자가 Head Mounted Display(HMD) 기기를 통해 원격지의 상황을 현장감 있게 파악할 수 있는 비전 시스템을 구현했다. 로봇 내 S/W의 효과적인 통합을 위해 카메라 입력 처리 및 비디오 스트리밍은 Ubuntu의 ROS를 이용하여 구현됐으며, 조작 공간의 HMD 기기 및 관련 조작 센서 통합은 Windows 상에 구현하여, 실험을 통해 원격지의 상황을 25fps 수준의 HD 해상도 비디오로 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a novel manipulator intended for the needs of telerobotic micromanipulation. We designed an original manipulator capable of performing fine motion with an accuracy greater than $2{\mu}m$, while remaining simple in design and easy in control. Preliminary calculations of manipulator accuracy have been conducted, and the device has been designed and manufactured accordingly. The accuracy of the proposed manipulator has been verified during the series micro-positioning experiments under different types of controllers, and the results proved that the manipulator is suitable for micromanipulation applications as a part of telerobotic system. The proposed manipulator has been compared to existing analogues by several parameters, and both its advantages and disadvantages have been discussed.

Teleoperation of a robot arm working in hazardous environments has been studied in the field of defense and security. A master system is an essential part that plays an important role in the teleoperation. We developed a master system, which is an essential part in the teleoperation, so that it can operate the slave robot arm intuitively and has excellent mobility and portability compared to conventional master systems. The master system adopted a Stewart platform to minimize the size and weight, and the legs of the Stewart platform are composed of wires to improve the operation range of the system. The experimental validation of the developed master system is conducted with a commercial IMU, and the experimental results show that the proposed master system can perform reliable and dexterous teleoperation.

Since the heavy-duty power manipulator generally has high ratio gear reducers at its joints, its dynamic characteristics is much slower than that of the master manipulator and it is likely to encounter the saturation in the input magnitude when it is used as the slave manipulator in telemanipulation systems. This paper proposes a force reflecting and compliant control scheme for the heavy-duty power telemanipulator. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is that it provides a precise position and compliant control performance for a telemanipulator with control input saturation. The stability of the proposed scheme is analyzed and a series of experiments shows its performance.

Remote handling manipulators are widely used for performing hazardous tasks, and it is essential to ensure the reliable performance of such systems. Toward this end, tendon-driven mechanisms are adopted in such systems to reduce the weight of the distal parts of the manipulator while maintaining the handling performance. In this study, several approaches for the design of a gripper system for a tendon-driven remote handling system are introduced. Basically, this gripper has an underactuated spring mechanism that is combined with a slave manipulator triggered by a master operator. Based on the requirements under the specified tendon-driven mechanism, the connecting position of the spring system on the gripper mechanism and kinematic influence coefficient (KIC) analysis are performed. As a result, a suitable combination of components for the proper design of the target system is presented and verified.

As virtual reality technology became popular, a high demand emerged for natural and efficient interaction with the virtual environment. Mid-air manipulation is one of the solutions to such needs, letting a user manipulate a virtual object in a 3D virtual space. In this paper, we focus on manipulating a remote virtual object while visually displaying the object and providing tactile information on the object's weight. We developed two types of wearable interfaces that can provide cutaneous or vibrotactile feedback on the virtual object weight to the user's fingertips. Human perception of the remote virtual object weight during manipulation was evaluated by conducting a psychophysics experiment. The results indicate a significant effect of haptic feedback on the perceived weight of the virtual object during manipulation.

In this paper, we performed the study on the operation characteristics of tele-grasping using the developed experimental system. The experimental system consists of master and slave gripper. and signal processing system. For the stable grasping of an object, this system feedback the normal force obtained from the straingage of the slave gripper to magnetic particle brake of the master gripper through the signal processing system. This experimental system can control the grasping force in remote using the force feedback device. Some experimental results of the-tele-grasping are presented and discussed
