The Human Sensory Feedback Laboratory, park of the Armstrong Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is involved in the development and evaluation of systems that provide sensory feedback to the human operator in telerobotic and virtual environment applications. Specific projects underway in the laboratory are primarily concerned with the information provided by force and vibrotactile feedback to the operator in dextrous manipulation tasks. Four specific research projects are described in the present report. These include : 1) experiments evaluating a 30-element fingertip display, which employs a titanium-nickel shape memory alloy actuator design to provide vibrotactile feedback about object shape and surface texture ; 2) of a fingertip force-feedback display for 3-dimensional information about object shape and suface texture ; 3) use of a force- feedback joystic to provide "force tunnel" information in pilot pursuit tracking tasks ; and 4) evaluations of a 7 degree-of-freedom exoskeleton used to control a robotic arm. Both basic and applied research questions are discussed.

In this paper, a self-organizing fuzzy controller(SOFC) for the industrial robot manipulator with a actuator located at the base is studied. A fuzzy login composed of linguistic conditional statements is employed by defining the relations of input-output variable of the controller, In the synthesis of a FLC, one of the most difficult problems is the determination of linguistic control rules from the human operators. To overcome this difficult SOFC is proposed for a hierarchical control structure consisting of basic level and high level that modify control rules. The proposed SOFC scheme is simple in structure, fast in computation, and suitable for implementation of real-time control. Performance of the SOFC is illustrated by simulation and experimental results for robot with tow joints.

This paper presents a robust control scheme of free-joint manipulators to overcome actuator failures and uncertain-ties in Cartesian space where tasks are planned. The control scheme has the adaptation law for the upper bound on the norm of uncertainties through the Lyapunov function approach. To solve the dynamic singularity problem in the controller, the singular and nonsingular regions are investigated based on a computer simulation. Then a singularity-free Cartesian trajectory planning is achieved in order to guarantee the availability of the control scheme. To illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme, simulation results for a three-link planar robot arm with a free joint are shown.

The optical storage device has recently experienced significant improvements, especially for the aspects of high capacity and fast transfer rate. However, it is the fact that the optical storage device has the lower access time for the randomly scattered data compared to the hard disk drives. It is, therefore, necessary to develop a new type of optical storage system. In this study, we investigate the air bearing characteristics for the optical disk drives which have the swing arm actuator similarly to the hard disk drives. Considering the requirements of the optical disk drives, we parametrize the shape of the air bearing surface and investigate its sensitivity to the flying characteristics for further optimized design outputs.

EPPR (Electro-hydraulic Proportional Pressure Reducing) valves are pressure control valves. In this study, an independent metering valve (IMV), which is a combination of a spool valve opened and closed with the help of an EPPR valve, was discussed. The overall performance of the valve (IMV) was obtained by the respective modeling and simulation of the system. The valve investigated in this study is to be used for independent metering of hydraulic excavator actuator e.g. boom, arm, bucket etc. To design the model, continuity equations and force balance equations were used. The set of differential equations were then simulated in Simulink using ODE45 option in the configuration toolbox. The valve has to be able to control the flow rate going in and out of the cylinder separately, which is why the particular configuration was needed and selected.

In many applications, the typical parallel-jaw end-effector of a robot arm has been remarkably satisfactory. But, it is not adequate for the applications such as complicated manipulation. In the study, a finger with 4 joints (so, having redundancy) was consturcted to investigate the characteristics of an articulated hand. Each joint was driven by one actuator, and the motor torque was transmited to each joint through a tendon-pulley system. In the context, major considerations for hardware design and the method to solve the inverse kinematics of a redundant manipulator were presented. Finally, the basic capabilities of an articulated hand were presented through experiments.

본 논문에서는 다양한 견관절 장애 증상에 적용할 수 있는 보급형 상지 재활 로봇의 설계를 다룬다. 견관절의 회전에 수반되는 관절 중심의 위치변화를 추종하고, 사용자의 상지와 장치의 무게를 상쇄하는 3자유도 견관절 추종 및 중력보상 메커니즘을 구현하였다. 다양한 방향의 어깨 재활 동작을 구현할 수 있도록 구동축의 방향을 변환하는 메커니즘을 설계하여, 견관절에 대한 구동기의 상대적인 오리엔테이션을 변화시킴으로써 대표적인 5가지 견관절 동작을 수행할 수 있었다. 동시에 재활 운동 중의 견관절의 위치 변화를 추종하여 자연스러운 견관절 운동을 구현할 수 있었다. 최소의 구동기를 사용하는 보급형 로봇으로도 다양한 견관절 질환에 효과적으로 대응할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a design methodology of a Digital Servo Signal Processor for high speed CD-RW drive systems. The proposed Digital Servo Signal Processor enables us to develop CD-related systems for the very high speed applications and is one of the key components of the CD-RW systems. The proposed center compensation servo control is newly built for an actuator shaking due to the fast response of a step motor when it jumps to a long distance. A control method compensating for eccentricity of a disc is implemented for operating robustly at a higher rotational speed. This servo mechanism is more size efficient and less power consumed because it is implemented using a ARM7 embedded processor and hardware digital filters. Furthermore, it is convenient to upgrade firmware for the future required functions. From experimental results, we can see that the performance of the control system is improved greatly. The proposed servo algorithm shows a shorter setting time including a pull-in time and a faster access time. It can be applied easily to the DVD-ROM and the DVD-RAM which have the same optical structure.

고성능과 고속화의 면에서 광저장장치의 관심은 상당히 높다. 그러나 하드디스크와 비교하여 광저장장치는 임의의 데이터에 대한 탐색속도가 매우 늦다. 따라서, 광저장장치에서의 새로운 형태의 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 하드디스크 장치와 유사한 스윔 암 구동기를 사용한 광저장장치의 공기베어링의 특성에 관해 연구하였다. 광저장장치에서 요구되어지는 최적의 슬라이더 형상을 구하기 위하여 공기 베어링면의 형상변화에 따른 부상상태에 관한 민감도를 연구하였다.

Delta robots are usually used for industrial manufacturing, but heavy weight and expensive price have been obstacles to rapid propagation of robots in the field. The goal of this research is to make light-weight and price-competitive delta robots. To reduce the weight, we used plastic material for the arm link, and to reduce the price, we used a step-motor as the main actuator. First we formulated the equations of inverse kinematics for the designed delta robot and then verified these equations by using multibody-dynamics simulation. An algorithm of motion control was developed and applied to the motion-processing unit using a timer-interrupt of 8 milliseconds. Finally, we tested the performance of the new delta robot by checking its control of motion along line segments.
