This paper presents a robust force tracking control of a small-sized SMA gripper with two fingers using shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators. The mathematical governing equation of the proposed system is derived by Hamilton's principle and Lagrangian equation and then, the control system model is integrated with the first-order actuator dynamics. Uncertain system parameters such as time constant of the actuators are also included in the control model. A robust two degree of freedom(TDF) controller using H$_{\infty}$ control theory, which has inherent robustness to model uncertainties and external disturbances, is adopted to achieve end-point force tracking control of the two-finger gripper. Force tracking control performances for desired trajectories represented by sinusoidal and step functions are evaluated by undertaking both simulation and experimental works.

In this paper, experimental studies of force control of the crack tracking robot are presented. The crack tracking robot should maintain constant contact with the road to perform cleaning process of the crack effectively. Regulating desired force on the road requires a sophisticated force control algorithm. Here, two main force control algorithms such as the impedance force control and the explicit force control are used. Performances of two force control algorithms are compared.

햅틱 기반 로봇 원격제어를 위해서는 힘 반영을 인지할 수 있어야 한다. 원격조종에서는 데이터 통신과 처리에 소요되는 시간에 따른 지연이 발생하는데, 이 시간 지연은 로봇의 충돌과 제어기-로봇간의 힘 반영 부조화를 초래할 수 있다. 다수의 로봇이 협업을 하는 구조로 원격제어 시스템을 개발하기 위해서는 다수의 오퍼레이터와 다수의 로봇이 원활한 기능 분담을 수행할 수 있어야하는데, 본 논문에서는 원격지 로봇들의 협업을 수행할 수 있는 햅틱 기반 원격제어 시스템 구축 방법에 대하여 기술한다.

This paper deals with method to measure the user's driving-will force and to control the power-assisted wheelchair. To solve this problem, we extract the user's driving-will by using the mathematical motor model. And then, we get the linear and angular velocity at the center of the vehicle. Wheel velocities are also measured from center velocity. Finally, power-assisted electric wheelchairs are controlled by these data. Here all processes are verified by simulation.

In this paper, the polishing force monitoring and the control method were implemented for the polishing machine with the airbag tool. Airbag tool has been known to be adaptable to the curvature variation such as the aspherical and the free-form surface. However, it was necessary to control the tool movement of vertical axis also because of the table rotational wobble and vibration. To solve it by the polishing force control, we installed another stepping motor to the z-axis. And the polishing force was measured with the load cell and controlled by the PID Labview controller. A few hundreds gram of the polishing force were well controlled under 0.8 second of the response time and 5% variation. An experiment was done to clean the edge burrs of the micro channel structure of width $87{\mu}m$ using the polishing force control.

This paper presents the control method for the hybrid actuator comprising a DC motor and an MR brake. Generally, a DC motor as an active actuator has a small power to weight ratio and goes unstable with higher force control gain due to its saturation limit. In order to cope with this instability and make the transparency higher, this paper proposes a hybrid actuator which consists of a DC motor and an MR brake as a passive actuator and its force control method based on network theory. A DC motor actively produces the output corresponding to the signs of the input currents. On the other hand, an MR brake passively resists against the external load independent of the sign changes of the input currents. This characteristics is widely known as 'passive' This paper suggests a force control method based on passivity concept in network theory for the hybrid actuator and verified its performance and stability through the experiments.

철강제조공정에서 강판을 만드는 공정이 압연이다. 압연공정은 연속주조 공장에서 생산되는 Steel Slab, Bloom, Billet등의 반제품을 높은 온도로 재 가열하고 물리적인 힘을 가해 압연하는 열간압연(이하 열연)과 열연으로 얇아진 강판을 열을 가하지 않고 냉각상태에서 압연하는 냉간압연으로 나뉜다. 본 원고에서는 열연 공정의 가열로 온도제어에 적용한 MFA(Model Free Adaptive Controller)를 소개하고자 한다.

In this paper, we proposed a TDC based F/T sensorless active compliance control algorithm for a rehabilitation robot (KARES II). The preference of compliance of the disabled is presented by clinical testing at Korea National Rehabilitation Center with the disabled. The KARES II was designed to work 12 predefined tasks which are very essential for helping the disabled. Among the tasks, some contact tasks between the robot and the disabled exist. Therefore, TDC based F/T sensorless compliance control algorithm is developed for these tasks without additional cost. We verified the proposed algorithm with experiment. Also for the practical use, suitable compliance for contact tasks is chosen by clinical testing at Korea National Rehabilitation Center.
