The nonlinear behavior and the high performance requirement are the main problems that appear in the design of manipulator robots and their controllers. For that reason, the simulation, real-time execution and comparison of the performance of controllers applied to a robot with three degrees of freedom are presented. Five controllers are prepared to test the robot's dynamic model: predictive; hyperbolic sine-cosine; sliding mode; hybrid composed of a predictive + hyperbolic sine-cosine controller; and adaptive controller. A redundant robot, a communication and signal conditioning interface, and a simulator are developed by means of the MatLab/Simulink software, which allows analyzing the dynamic performance of the robot and of the designed controllers. The manipulator robot is made to follow a test trajectory which, thanks to the proposed controllers, it can do. The results of the performance of this manipulator and of its controllers, for each of the three joints, are compared by means of RMS indices, considering joint errors according to the imposed trajectory and to the controller used.

Nowadays, with progresses in robotic science, the design and implementation of a mechanism for human-robot interaction with a low workload is inevitable. One notable challenge in this field is the interaction between a single human and a group of robots. Therefore, we propose a new comprehensive framework for single-human multiple-robot remote interaction that can form an efficient intelligent adaptive interaction (IAI). Our interaction system can thoroughly adapt itself to changes in interaction context and user states. Some advantages of our devised IAI framework are lower workload, higher level of situation awareness, and efficient interaction. In this paper, we introduce a new IAI architecture as our comprehensive mechanism. In order to practically examine the architecture, we implemented our proposed IAI to control a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under different scenarios. The results show that our devised IAI framework can effectively reduce human workload and the level of situation awareness, and concurrently foster the mission completion percentage of the UAVs.

Modeling, control and implementation of a real redundant robot with five Degrees Freedom (DOF) of the SCARA (Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm) manipulator type is presented. Through geometric methods and structural and functional considerations, the inverse kinematics for redundant robot can be obtained. By means of a modification of the classical sliding mode control law through a hyperbolic function, we get a new algorithm which enables reducing the chattering effect of the real actuators, which together with the learning and adaptive controllers, is applied to the model and to the real robot. A simulation environment including the actuator dynamics is elaborated. A 5 DOF robot, a communication interface and a signal conditioning circuit are designed and implemented for feedback. Three control laws are executed in: a simulation structure (together with the dynamic model of the SCARA type redundant manipulator and the actuator dynamics) and a real redundant manipulator of the SCARA type carried out using MatLab/Simulink programming tools. The results, obtained through simulation and implementation, were represented by comparative curves and RMS indices of the joint errors, and they showed that the redundant manipulator, both in the simulation and the implementation, followed the test trajectory with less pronounced maximum errors using the adaptive controller than the other controllers, with more homogeneous motions of the manipulator.

We designed a family of completely autonomous mobile robots with local intelligence. Each robot has a number of on-board sensors, including vision, and does not rely on global positioning systems The on-board embedded controller is sufficient to analyze several low-resolution color images per second. This enables our robots to perform several complex tasks such as navigation, map generation, or providing intelligent group behavior. Not being limited to playing the game of soccer and being completely autonomous, we are also looking at a number of other interesting scenarios. The robots can communicate with each other, e.g. for exchanging positions, information about objects or just the local states they are currently in (e.g. sharing their current objectives with other robots in the group). We are particularly interested in the differences between a behavior-based approach versus a traditional control algorithm at this still very low level of action.

피드-포워드 보상부분과 불연속 제어 부분으로 구성되는 강건한 적응 슬라이딩 모드 로봇제어 알고리즘을 유도하였다. 미지의 매개변수는 실시간으로 추정되는 매개변수를 포함하는 그룹과 실시간으로 추정하지 않는 매개변수를 포함하는 그룹으로 나누어진다. 그런 다음 외란 및 실시간으로 추정하지 않는 매개변수에서의 불확실성 효과를 보상하기 위해 슬라이딩 제어 항이 토크 입력에 포함된다. 또한 매니퓨레이터 동역학 구조의 효율적인 이용으로 인하여 알고리즘은 계산이 간단하다. 매개변수 불확실성과 외부 외란의 존재에도 불구하고 제어기는 대국적 점근적으로 안정하며 추적오차가 영에 수렴함을 보여준다.

This paper proposes a V-shaped Lyapunov function approach for the model-based control of flexible-joint robots, in which a new model-based nonlinear control scheme is designed based on a V-shaped Lyapunov function. The proposed control guarantees global asymptotic stability for link trajectory control while keeping all internal signals bounded. Since joint flexibility is used as a control parameter, the proposed control is not restricted by the degree of joint flexibility and be applied to flexibility-joint, partly-flexibility, or rigid-joint robots without modification. the effectiveness of the proposed control has been by computer simulation.

시스템의 자세 제어는 사용되는 모터의 위치 제어로 대응되며, 이러한 시스템은 운용환경 시에 충격 진동이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 충격 진동 외란을 제거해야 요구하는 위치 제어를 수행할 수 있다. 로봇 제어 분야에서 불확실한 외란에 의한 로봇의 자세 제어는 가장 기본적이면서 중요한 분야중의 하나이다. 이러한 문제를 다루기 위하여 계산 토크 방식에 기초한 선형 제어기법이나 적응 제어 기법, 강인 제어 기법 등을 이용한 연구 결과들이 발표되고 있다. 그러나 그러한 기법은 일반적으로 로봇의 정확한 동력학적 특성을 알아야 하며, 구현하기가 복잡하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 적응 규칙에 의하여 모델의 불확실성, 시스템의 변화, 외란으로 인해 발생하는 공칭 플랜트와의 오차를 보상하도록 제어 입력을 생성하는 내부 루프 부분과 공칭 플랜트 모델의 명령을 추종하도록 하여 제어 입력을 생성하는 외부 루프 부분으로 구성되는 방법인 외란관측기(Disturbance OBserver : DOB) 제어 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 프로세서의 신뢰성과 수치 연산 및 알고리즘의 빠른 처리를 위해 현재 사용 빈도가 높은 TI사의 DSP시리즈 중에서 부동 소수점 연산 기능을 가지면서 모터 제어에 적합한 TMS320C2000계열의 TMS320F2812을 사용하여, 운용 시 발생되는 진동 등에 대한 외란 제거를 목적으로 한다. 본 논문은 규명된 시스템 모델식을 바탕으로 DOB 제어 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 시뮬레이션으로 검증된 DOB 모터 자세 제어 알고리즘을 DSP에 적용하기 위해 코드변환하고 PMSM 모터 모델 시뮬링크 블록을 구성하여 외란 관측기 제어 알고리즘을 모터 실험 시스템에 적용함으로써 타당성을 검증하고 상용 제어기로 실제 현장에 적용 가능함을 입증한다.
