At the present, a stud bolt welding was achieved by the manual method. The manual method caused many problems of work evasion. In order to work out these problems, an automatic welding system is designed for a stud bolt welding system. The system is composed of articulated type welding robot, stud gun, stud feeder, stud controller and various jig.

Dynamic chanracterisitcs and control of a submerged working robot manipulator have been investigated for articulated type robot manipulator with three revoluted joints. A dynamic equation of the manipulator has been derived. The dynamic equation includes not only mass matrix, centrifugal and Coriolis terms and gravity terms but also added mass, buoyant force and drag force terms, which are important terms for underwater motion description. A series of simulations using computed torque method have been performed for the cases of straight and circular trajectory motion controls. The results of this study show that the dynamic characteristics of the submerged working robot manipulator are very different from that of the manipulator which works in air. The influences of added mass, buoyant force and drag force terms to the total required torques have been discussed as distribution ratios to the total required torques.

The dynamic stability of a robot vehicle can be enhanced by the Force-Angle Stability Margin concept that considers a variety of dynamic effects. To evaluate the robot vehicle stability, a SPI(stability performance index), which is a function of the suspension arm angles, was used. If the SPI has a minimum value, the robot vehicle has maximum stability. The FASM and SPI concepts were incorporated in the mobility simulation by using ADAMS and MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results using these concepts showed significant improvements of the vehicle stability on rough terrains.

This paper presents a new motion control strategy for singularity avoidance in 6 DOF articulated robot manipulators, based on a speed limiting algorithm for joint positions and velocities. For a given task, the robot is controlled so that the joints move with acceptable velocities and positions within the reachable range of each joint by considering the velocity limit. This paper aims at the development of a new efficient method to control robot motion near and at singularities. The proposed method has focused on generating the optimal joint trajectory for a Cartesian end-effector path within the speed limit of each joint by using the speed limit avoidance as well as the acceleration/deceleration scheme. The proposed method was verified using MATLAB-based simulations.

In this paper, we delelop 4-axis motion controller using TMS320c30 DSP chip and build a 5-axis vertical articulated robot control system. The 4-aixs controller uses a DSP, a high-speed AID and a D/A converter to implement advanced robot control algorithms. The robot control system uses VME-bus and VxWorks realtime multi-tasking operating system. We use RCCL type to implement robot languages.

GoldStar Industrial Systems Co. R & D center successfully developed the inverter for welding under the support of GoldStar Electric Machinery Co. Now, we are currently working on the mechanical part of articulated robot and a high-performance general purpose motion controller. By combining the above three items, we will be able to constitute the complete welding robot system on our own. In this article. the welding robot system currently under developing is introduced. The main focus will be placed on the development of general purpose motion controller with welding control module. Therefore, the architecture of welding robot controller where the general purpose motion controller is combined with the welding controller module will be explained. Here, the software system will be explained with regard to the hardware system.

A collision-free geometric path for industrial articulated robot is searched among polyhedral obstacles considering kinematic charcteristics. Then minimum-time control of the geometric path is studied considering dynamic characteristics. The algorithm is simulated on PC for maximum speed, moving time and so forth.
