This paper presents how effective it is to use many features for improving the speed and accuracy of visual servo systems. Some rank conditions which relate the image Jacobian to the control performance are derived. The focus is to describe that the accuracy of the camera position control in the world coordinate system is increased by utilizing redundant features in this paper. It is also proven that the accuracy is improved by increasing the number of features involved. Effectiveness of the redundant features is evaluated by the smallest singular value of the image Jacobian which is closely related to the accuracy with respect to the world coordinate system. Usefulness of the redundant features is verified by the real time experiments on a Dual-Arm robot manipulator made by Samsung Electronic Co. Ltd..

For free motions, vibration suppression of single flexible manipulators has been one of the hottest research topics. However, for cooperative motions of multiple flexible manipulators, a little effort has been devoted for the vibration suppression control. So, the aim of this paper is to develop a hybrid force/position control and vibration suppression control scheme for multiple cooperation flexible manipulators handling a rigid object. In order to clarify the discussion, the motions of dual-arm experimental flexible manipulator are considered. Using the developed model, we control a robotic system with hybrid position/force control scheme. Finally, Experiments are performed, and a comparison of experimental results is given to clarify the validity of our control scheme.

본 논문에서는 환경에 구속 받는 유연 매니퓨레이터의 힘/위치에 대하여 논하고자 한다. 일반적으로, 유연 매니퓨레이터의 모델링 방법은 분포 정수 모델과 집중 정수 모델로 분류할 수 있다. 전자인 분포 정수 모델을 이용해서는 평면 1 링크, 2 링크를 대상으로 한 위치/힘 제어는 가능하나, 운동 방정식의 복잡성으로 인하여 실시간에서 다 링크 다 관절 유연 매니퓨레이터의 힘/위치를 제어하기는 어렵게 여겨져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 집중 정수 모델링 방법인 집중 스프링 질량 모델(Lumped Spring Mass Model)을 이용하여 환경에 구속받는 유연 매니퓨레이터의 운동 방정식을 산출했다 이 모델을 실험기인 유연 매니퓨레이터 ADAM(Aerospace Dual Arm Manipulators)에 적용하여 실시간 위치/힘 제어 실험을 행하였으며, MATLAB를 이용하여 해석했다. 또한, ADAMS$^{TM}$ FEM를 이용하여 분포 정수 모델을 도출하여, 해석하였으며, 이 결과와 집중 정수 모델을 이용한 MATLAB 해석의 결과, 그리고 실험 결과를 비교 분석하여 본 논문에서 제안한 구속받는 유연 매니퓨레이터의 집중 정수 모델 타당성을 입증시켰다.

This paper is based on embedding the biometrics techniques on GPU for better computational efficiency and fast matching process using the parallel nature of the GPU processors to compare thousands of images for fingerprint recognition in a fraction of a second. In this paper we worked on GPU (INVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 with compute capability 1.3 and dual core-2-dou processor) for fingerprint matching and found that the efficiency is better than the results with related work already done on CMOS, CPU, ARM9, MATLAB Neural Networks etc which shows the better performance of our system in terms of computational time. The features matching process proposed for fingerprint recognition and the verification procedure is done on 5,000 images which are available online in the databases FVC2000, 2002, 2004 [1].

This paper proposes an emulation environment for SoC designs using small number of large gate-count FPGA's and a PC system. To overcome the pin limitation problem in partitioning the design when the design size overwhelms the FPGA gate count, we use bus splitter modules that replicate on-chip bus signals in one FPGA to arbitrary number of other FPGA's with minimal pin count. The proposed scheme is applied to the emulation of 2 million gate multimedia processing chip using two Xilinx Viretex-2 6000 FPGA devices in 6.6MHz operating frequency. An ARM core, memories, camera and LCD display are modeled in software using dual 2GHz Pentium-III processors. This scheme can be utilized for more than 2 FPGA's in the same ways as two FPGA case without losing emulation speed.

In this paper, our aim is to develop a model for two cooperating flexible manipulators handling a rigid object by using lumped parameters. This model is in turn analyzed on MATLAB. In order to validate the model, a precise simulation model is developed using $ADAMS^{TM}$ (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical System). Moreover, to clarify the discussion, the motions of a dual-arm experimental flexible manipulator are considered. Using the developed model, we control a robotic system with a symmetric hybrid position/force control scheme. Finally, experiments and simulations are performed, and a comparison of simulation results with experimental results is given to a rerify the validity of our model.

We are developing a shared remote control mobile robot for aerial work in nuclear power plants (NPPs); a robot consists of a mobile platform, a telescopic mast, and a dual-arm slave with a working tool. It is used at a high location operating the manual operation mechanism of a fuel changer of a heavy water NPP. The robot system can cut/weld a pipe remotely in the case of an emergency or during the dismantling of the NPP. Owing to the challenging control mission considering limited human operator cognitive capability, some remote tasks require a shared control scheme, which demands systematic software design and integration. Therefore, we designed the architecture of the software systematically.

In this paper, we presents the remote inspection activity with a mobile robot at the calandria face areas of the PHWR (pressurized heavy water reactor) nuclear power plants during full power plant operation.. The tele-operated mobile robot has been developed for this task. A 4 wheeled mechanism with the dual reconfigurable crawler arm has been adopted for the ease access to the high radiation area of calandria face. A specially designed extendable long reach mast attached on the mobile platform and the thermal image monitoring system enable human eyes to look into the calandria face. Application of robot will keep human workers from high radiation exposure and enhance the reliability of nuclear power plants.

This paper introduces a position-based robust visual servoing method which is developed for operation of a human-like robot with two arms. The proposed visual servoing method utilizes SIFT algorithm for object detection and CAMSHIFT algorithm for object tracking. While the conventional CAMSHIFT has been used mainly for object tracking in a 2D image plane, we extend its usage for object tracking in 3D space, by combining the results of CAMSHIFT for two image plane of a stereo camera. This approach shows a robust and dependable result. Once the robot's task is defined based on the extracted 3D information, the robot is commanded to carry out the task. We conduct several position-based visual servoing tasks and compare performances under different conditions. The results show that the proposed visual tracking algorithm is simple but very effective for position-based visual servoing.
