본 논문에서는 수직다관절 로봇에 걸리는 중력 토크를 보상하는데 주로 사용되는 스프링 중력보상장치의 최적설계에 대하여 기술하였다. 스트레스, 좌굴, 피로 조건과 같은 스프링 설계에 대한 다수의 비선형 제약 조건을 반영하면서, 동시에 계산 시간을 줄이기 위하여, SQP(Sequential Quadratic Programming)를 적용하였다. 또한 정수해를 가져야 하는 설계 변수를 반영하기 위하여, Continuous Relaxation 방법을 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 설계된 중력보상 장치가 주요 작업 영역에서 추가의 무게 증가 없이 중력 보상 성능이 효과적으로 높아짐을 입증하였다.

A method of interactive human interface for motion modification of an articulated object model like a human body, a multiple joints robot, etc. has been developed, and implemented to a human body motion model. In the case of computer software models, the initial data setting for overall motion is rather easy. However, modifying or correcting the initially set motion is rather difficult for keeping consistency. In this research, the requirements shown below have mainly been set as the specifications ...

In this paper show how to design a redundant robot which is suitable for the multiple task without any constraints on the workspace. The implementation is possible by the rigid connection of a mobile robot and a task robot. Use a five joint articulated robot as the task robot; designed the 3 joint mobile robot for this usage. For a task execution assigned to the redundant robot, not only the task robot but the mobile robot should work in the coordinated way. therefore, a kinematic connection of the two robots should be cleary represented in a frame. And, also the dynamic interaction between the two robots needs to be analyzed. Clarified these issues considering the control of the redundant robot. Finally, demonstrate away of utilization of the redundancy as the cooperation between the mobile robot and the task robot to execute a common task.

In these days, researches about underwater robots have been actively in progress for the purposes of ocean detection and resource exploration. Unlike general underwater robots such as ROV(Remotely Operated Vehicle) and AUV(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) which have propellers, an articulated underwater robot which is called Crabster has been being developed in KORDI(Korea Ocean Research & Development Institute) with many cooperation organizations since 2010. The robot is expected to be able to walk and swim under the sea with its legs. Among many researching fields of this project, we are focusing on a swimming section. In order to find effective swimming locomotion for the robot, we approached this subject in terms of Biomimetics. As a model of optimized swimming organism in nature, diving beetles were chosen. In the paper, swimming motions of diving beetles were analyzed in viewpoint of robotics for applying them into the swimming motion of the robot. After modeling the kinematics of diving beetle through robotics engineering technique, we obtained swimming patterns of the one of living diving beetles, and then compared them with calculated optimal swimming patterns of a robot leg. As the first trial to compare the locomotion data of legs of the diving beetle with a robot leg, we have sorted two representative swimming patterns such as forwarding and turning. Experimental environment has been set up to get the motion data of diving beetles. The experimental equipment consists of a transparent aquarium and a high speed camera. Various swimming motions of diving beetles were recorded with the camera. After classifying swimming patterns of the diving beetle, we can get angular data of each joint on hind legs by image processing software, Image J. The data were applied to an optimized algorithm for swimming of a robot leg which was designed by robotics engineering technique. Through this procedure, simulated results which show trajectories of a robot leg were compared with trajectories of a leg of a diving beetle in desired directions. As a result, we confirmed considerable similarity in the result of trajectory and joint angles comparison.

In order to utilize hydrodynamic drag force on articulated robots moving in an underwater environment, an optimum motion planning procedure is proposed. The drag force acting on cylindrical underwater arms is modeled and a directional drag measure is defined as a quantitative measure of reaction force in a specific direction in a workspace. A repetitive trajectory planning method is formulated from the general point-to-point trajectory planning method. In order to globally optimize the parameters of repetitive trajectories under inequality constraints, a 2-level optimization scheme is proposed, which adopts the genetic algorithm (GA) as the 1st level optimization and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) as the 2nd level optimization. To verify the validity of the proposed method, optimization examples of periodic motion planning with the simple two-link planner robot are also presented in this paper.

Factory-style plant production system aims to produce the standardized horticultural products with high quality and cleanness. In Korea, researches for year-round leaf vegetables production system are in progress and the most of them are focused on environment control. Automating technologies for harvesting, transporting and grading need to be developed. A lettuce harvesting system applicable to the plant factory was studied. It was composed of an articulated robot with a cutter and a gripper, lettuce feeding conveyor and air blower. Success rate of the developed system was 94.7 %. The system carried out harvesting a lettuce smoothly and the harvesting time was about 6 seconds per lettuce. The results showed a feasibility of robotic lettuce harvesting.

In this paper, we demonstrate how to design a redundant robot which is suitable for the multiple task execution without any constraints on the work space. The implementation is possible by the rigid connection of a cacro-robot and a micro-robot. A 5 d.o.f. articulated robor designed for commercial purpose is utilized as a micro-robot which can perform a general task with the appropriate adjustment of its base location. The base of a micro-robot is located at a suitable position by the macro-robot designed and implemented through this research. A task assigned to this redundant robot is performed mainly by the micro-robot. However, when the micro-robot cannot perform the task by itself or when the micro-robot has difficulties in performing the task, the coordination of the macro-robot is requited. To monitor the task execution efficiency of the micro-robot, we used the 'Manipulability Measure' as a cost function. The coordination between the two robots are verified both by the simulation and the experiment.

Dynamic analysis is important in structural design of SCARA or articulated type industrial robots and is' usually done to main three axes. In this paper, robot arm dynamics was analyzed using FBD(free body diagram). Though the proposed scheme becomes complex as DOF(degree of freedom)increases, it allows to see types and directions of forces and moments acting on the body. Therefore, the strength analysis of robot arm can be done relatively easy in a case of either closed or open loop chain. This method can be used for obtaining dynamic simulation at off-line programming system and calculating required torques at joints at on-line system.
