The force sensor is essentially required in controlling robot manipulator in such applications as precise assembly of mechanical parts, deburring and polishing and various kinds of 6-axis force sensors are developed for these application. This paper presents the algorithm of horizontal assembly of circular cross-sectional workpiece using 3-axis force sensor and procedure to develop the sensor. The sensor is calibrated and tested using AID converter and 16 bit micro computer. The result is $\pm$0.03% FS of zero stability, 0.1%FS of linearity and $\pm$0.05% FS of resolution. The sensor will be used in the research of robot application such as assembly and deburring interfaced with micro computer based robot controller which is under development at the robotics lab.

Most serious stroke patients have the paralysis of their wrists, and can't use of their hands freely. But their wrists can be recovered by rehabilitation exercise. Recently, professional rehabilitation therapeutists exercise the wrists of stroke patients in hospital. But the wrists of stroke patients have not rehabilitated, because the therapeutists are much less than stroke patients in number. Therefore, the wrist bending-exercise rehabilitation robot that can measure the bending force of the patients' wrists is developed. In this paper, the three-axis force sensor was designed for the wrist bending-exercise rehabilitation robot. As a test results, the interference error of the three-axis force sensor was less than 0.85%. It is thought that the sensor can be used to measure the wrist bending force of the patient.

비상체가 자세를 유지하기 위한 자세기준에는 비상체의 무게중심을 지나 서로 직교하는 3축을 취하는데 그것을 각각 롤(roll)축, 피치(pitch)축, 요(yaw)축 이라 부른다. 자세측정 장치는 이 3축에 대한 변동을 검출하는 센서이다. 본 논문에서는 HMD에 자세측정 장치를 부착하고. 이동로봇플랫폼에 팬틸트를 장착하여 카메라를 제어한다. 가속도센서는 진동에 매우 취약하기 때문에 센서데이터에 노이즈가 심하게 발생하며, 센서데이터를 매핑(mapping)하는 과정에서 데이터들의 간격이 많이 벌어지는 문제도 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 평균필터와 Cosine Interpolation을 적용하여 팬틸트 동작을 방해하는 요소를 제거하였다. 제안한 성능을 평가하기 위해 실외환경에서 HMD에 부착한 센서데이터를 원격으로 전송하여 이동로봇에 탑재된 팬틸트 카메라를 제어하였다. 실험결과 약간의 지연은 발생하였으나 비교적 안정하게 팬틸트 카메라가 제어됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 이동로봇은 평지나 경사면 등 어떠한 지형에서도 주행이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper deals with a control technique of eliminating the transient vibration of a waist axis of an articulated robot. This technique is based on a model-based control in order to establish the damping effect on the mechanical part. The control model is related to the velocity control loop, and it is composed of reduced-order electrical and mechanical parts. Using this model, the velocity of the load is estimated, which is converted to the motor shaft. The difference between the estimated load speed and the motor speed is calculated dynamically, and it is added to the velocity command to suppress the transient vibration of a waist axis of the robot arm. The function of this technique is to increase the cut-off frequency of the system and the damping ratio at the driven machine part. This control model is easily obtained from design or experimental data and its algorithm can be easily installed in a DSP. This control technique is applied to a waist axis of an articulated robot composed of a harmonic drive gear reducer and a robot arm with 5 degrees of freedom. Simulations and experiments show satisfactory control results to reduce the transient vibration at the end-effector.

This paper describes the design of the force measuring system for an industrial robot's deburring work. The force measuring system is composed of a three-axis force sensor, a measuring device, a housing and a cover. The three-axis force sensor can detect x-direction force, y-direction force and z-direction force at the same time. The measuring device is designed using DSP(Digital Signal Processor), and have a RS-232 and a RS-485 communication port for sending force data to PC or other controller. As a result of test, the repeatability error and the non-lineality error of the three-axis force sensor are less than 0.03%, and the interference error of the sensor is less than 0.95%. It is thought that the force measuring system can be used for an industrial robot's deburring work.

To relize the future intelligent robot the development of a special-purpose processor for a coordinate transformation is evidently challenging task. In this case the complexity of a hardware architecture strongly depends on the adopted algorithm. In this paper we have used an inverse kinemetics algorithm based on incremental unit computation method. This method considers the 3-axis articulated robot as the combination of two types of a 2-axis robot: polar robot and 2-axis planar articulated one. For each robot incremental units in the joint and Cartesian spaces are defined. With this approach the calculation of the inverse Jacobian matrix can be realized through a simple combinational logic gate. Futhermore, the incremental computation of the DDA integrator can be used to solve the direct kinematics. We have also designed a hardware architecture to implement the proposed algorithm. The architecture consists of serveral simple unitsl. The operative unit comprises several basic operators and simple data path with a small bit-length. The hardware architecture is realized byusing the EPLD. For the straight-line motion of the KAIST arm we have obtained maximum end effector's speed of 12.6 m/sec by adopting system clock of 8 MHz.

In this paper, configuration control for the Horizontal Maintenance of the 2 wheel robot has been studied using ARS(Attitude Refrence System). The 2 wheel robot technique is getting attention and there have been many researches on the seg-way since the US. Using its 2 freedom, a 2 wheel robot can move in various modes and Our robot performs goal reaching ARS.2 wheel robot fall down to the forward or reverse direction to converge to the stable point. Kalman Filter is normally used for the algorithm and numerous research is progressing at the moment. To calculate the attitude in ARS using 2 axis gyro(roll, pitch) and 3 axis accelerometers (x, y, z). In this paper we present a two wheel robot system for an autonomous mobile robot. This paper realized the robot control method which is much simpler but able to get desired performance by using the ARS control.

Recent years have witnessed a growing demand for a wide variety of high-performance industrial robots. In this paper, for accurate gain tuning of a 6-axis articulated industrial robot with reduced noise, a program routine for a dynamic signal analyzer (DSA) using the frequency response method will be programmed using $LabVIEW^{(R)}$. Then, robot transfer functions can be obtained experimentally using the frequency response method with the DSA program. Data from the robot transfer functions are transformed into Bode plots, based on which an optimal gain tuning will be executed. Gain tuning can enhance the response quality of the output signal for a given input signal during real-time control of the robot. The effectiveness of our proposed technique will be verified by implementation with a (lab-manufactured) 6-axis articulated industrial robot (hereinafter called "RS2") and comparison with the zero position gain tuning, as well as other positions.

This study aims at detecting the three dimensional gripping points for the transplanting robot system to grip in the process of developing transplanting robot system, which is one of the automation systems for transplanting tissue culture. The stereo vision system equipped with two cameras has been used to detect the gripping points of the plant stem. The method for matching the plants of the image information which came from two cameras was to measure the total numbers of pixels, leaves, and the heights of the plants. The gripping points were detected near the roots after extracting the stem parts by the standard deviation of the X axis according to the Y axis. The performance test of the developed program showed that the detecting errors of the gripping points were 0∼1mm for X axis and 1∼2mm for Y & Z axis. The mean running time of the program was about 3 seconds.
