This paper presents a technique to control a robot which has a flexible manipulator moving in a vertical plane. The flexible manipulator is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. Elastic deformation is represented using the assumed modes method. A comparison function which satisfies all geometric and natural boundary conditions of a cantilever beam with an end mass is used as an assumed mode shape. Lagrange's equation is utilized for the development of a discretized model. A control algorithm is developed using a simple PID control technique. The proportional, integral and derivative control gains are determined based on the dominant pole placement method and tuned to show no overshoot and having a short settling time. The effectiveness of the developed control scheme is showed experimentally. In the position control experiment, three different end masses are used. The experimental results shows little overshoot, no steady state error, and less than 2.5 second settling time in case of having an end mass which is equivalent to 45% of the total system weight. Also the residual vibration of the end point is effectively controlled.

This paper presents a technique to model and control a manipulator which has a flexible link and moves in a vertical plane. The flexible link is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli Beam. Elastic deformation of the flexible link is represented using the assumed modes method. A comparison function which satisfies all geometric and natural boundary conditions of a cantilever beam with an end mass is used as an assumed mode shape. Lagrange's equation is utilized for the development of a discretized model. This paper presents a simple technique to improve the correctness of the developed model. The final model including the shortening effect due to elastic deformation correlates very well with experimental results. The free body motion simulation shows that two assumed modes for the representation of the elastic deformation is proper in terms of the model size and correctness. A control algorithm is developed using PID control technique. The proportional, integral and derivative control gains are determined based on dominant pole placement method with a rigid one-link manipulator. A position control simulation shows that the control algorithm can be used to control the position and residual oscillation of the flexible one-link manipulator effectively.

This paper presents a technique to control a very flexible robot moving in a vertical plane. The flexible robot is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. Elastic deformation is approximated using the assmed modes method. A comparison function which satisfies all geometric and natural boundary conditions of a cantilever beam with an end mass is used as an assumed mode shape. Lagrange's equation is utilized for the development of a discretized model. A control algorithm is developed using a simple PID cnotrol tech- nique. The proportional, integral and deivative control gains are determined based on the dominant pole placement method and tuned to show no overshoot and no steady state error, and short settling time. The effectiveness of the developed control scheme is showed in the hub angular diaplacement control experiment. Three different end masses are uned in the experiment. The experimental results show that developed control algorithm is very effective showing little overshoot, no steady state error, and less than 2.5 second settl- ing time in case of having an end mass which is equivalent to 45% of the manipulator mass. Also the experimental results show that the residual vibration fo the end point is effectively controlled.

본 연구에서는 외골격 크기를 변화하여 효과적으로 구동력을 조절하고 우수한 장애물 통과능력을 가진 구형로봇을 구현하였다. 호버만구를 외골격으로 채택하고 슬라이더-크랭크 구조의 확대 수축 메커니즘을 설계하여 무선으로 로봇의 크기변화와 이동제어가 가능하도록 제어시스템을 구축하였다. 로봇의 효율적인 구동에 필요한 주요 변수를 확인하기 위하여 오일러-라그랑주 운동방정식을 세워 해석하였고, 이를 바탕으로 DC 모터를 선정하였다. 로봇의 성능을 평가하기 위해 Prototype 의 기초 구동실험을 진행함과 동시에 유한요소 해석을 통해 구조적 안정성을 보완한 최종 모델을 제작하였다. 결과적으로, 외경 기준 최대 650 mm 에서 최소 520 mm 까지 수축/팽창이 가능한 로봇이 0.85 m/s로 주행이 가능한 것을 확인하였다.

연기와 같은 유체의 모습을 영화나 애니메이션에서의 특수 효과에 활용하기 위해는 연기를 사실적으로 모델링하는 과정과 모델링 된 연기 내부에서의 빛의 흐름이 잘 반영된 렌더링 과정이 필요하다. 컴퓨터 그래픽스 분야에서는 연기 모델링의 사실성을 살리기 위해 물리 기반의 유체 시뮬레이션 기법을 많이 차용하고 있는데, 그동안 시뮬레이션 기법으로 주로 연구되어 온, 격자 기반의 Euler 방법과는 근본적으로 다른, 파티클 기반의 Lagrange 방법이 시뮬레이션 단계에서 얻을 수 있는 장점 때문에 최근 관심이 높아지고 있다. 연기 렌더링은 연기 모델링 방법에 종속적일 수밖에 없으므로, 결과적으로 격자 기반의 시뮬레이션 결과에 대한 렌더링 방법은 많이 연구되고 있는 데 비해, 파티클 형태로 산출된 연기 데이터에 대하여 사실적인 영상을 생성해주는 랜더링 기술에 대한 연구는 아직 부족한 상황이다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 Lagrange 기법을 적용하여 생성한 파티클 집합 형태의 연기 시뮬레이션 데이터를 사실적으로 렌더링하기 위해, 전역 조영을 위한 최신 랜더링 기술인 포톤 매핑 기법을 파티클 데이터에 맞게 변형 및 확장한 파티클맵 기법을 소개하고, 개선된 파티클템 기법을 제시하여, 기존 연구와의 차이점을 보여준다. 또한 렌더링 과정에서 효율성을 높이기 위해 볼륨 렌더링 방정식의 다중 산란 항을 미리 계산하는 광도맵이라는 방법을 제시한다.

The analysis of structure response and design of buried structures subjected to dynamic destructive loads have been receiving increasing interest due to recent severe damage caused by strong earthquakes and terrorist attacks. For a comprehensive design of buried structures subjected to blast loads to be conducted, the whole system behaviour including simulation of the explosion, propagation of shock waves through the soil medium, the interaction of the soil with the buried structure and the structure response needs to be simulated in a single model. Such a model will enable more realistic simulation of the fundamental physical behaviour. This paper presents a complete model simulating the whole system using the finite element package ABAQUS/Explicit. The Arbitrary Lagrange Euler Coupling formulation is used to model the explosive charge and the soil region near the explosion to eliminate the distortion of the mesh under high deformation, while the conventional finite element method is used to model the rest of the system. The elasto-plastic Drucker-Prager Cap model is used to model the soil behaviour. The explosion process is simulated using the Jones-Wilkens-Lee equation of state. The Concrete Damage Plasticity model is used to simulate the behaviour of concrete with the reinforcement considered as an elasto-plastic material. The contact interface between soil and structure is simulated using the general Mohr-Coulomb friction concept, which allows for sliding, separation and rebound between the buried structure surface and the surrounding soil. The behaviour of the whole system is evaluated using a numerical example which shows that the proposed model is capable of producing a realistic simulation of the physical system behaviour in a smooth numerical process.

Purpose: Determining an appropriate path is a top priority in order for a robot to maneuver in a dynamically efficient way especially in a pick-and-place task. In a non-standardized work environment, current robot arm executes its motion based on the kinematic displacements of joint variables, though resulting motion is not dynamically optimal. In this research we suggest analyzing and applying motion patterns of the human arm as an alternative to perform near optimum motion trajectory for arbitrary pick-and-place tasks. Methods: Since the motion of a human arm is very complicated and diverse, it was simplified into two links: one from the shoulder to the elbow, and the other from the elbow to the hand. Motion patterns were then divided into horizontal and vertical components and further analyzed using kinematic and dynamic methods. The kinematic analysis was performed based on the D-H parameters and the dynamic analysis was carried out to calculate various parameters such as velocity, acceleration, torque, and energy using the Newton-Euler equation of motion and Lagrange's equation. In an attempt to assess the efficacy of the analyzed human motion pattern it was compared to the virtual motion pattern created by the joint interpolation method. Results: To demonstrate the efficacy of the human arm motion mechanical and dynamical analyses were performed, followed by the comparison with the virtual robot motion path that was created by the joint interpolation method. Consequently, the human arm was observed to be in motion while the elbow was bent. In return this contributed to the increase of the manipulability and decrease of gravity and torque being exerted on the elbow. In addition, the energy required for the motion decreased. Such phenomenon was more apparent under vertical motion than horizontal motion patterns, and in shorter paths than in longer ones. Thus, one can minimize the abrasion of joints by lowering the stress applied to the bones, muscles, and joints. From the perspectives of energy and durability, the robot arm will be able to utilize its motor most effectively by adopting the motion pattern of human arm. Conclusions: By applying the motion pattern of human arm to the robot arm motion, increase in efficiency and durability is expected, which will eventually produce robots capable of moving in an energy-efficient manner.
