A canonical form observer design method for nonlinear systems is studied. Through this method, an observer of single link robot system with flexible joint is proposed. It is shown through simulation that the system can be stabilized when using the nonlinear feedback linearizing controller and the supposed observer.

Output feedback passivation problem is studied when the given system is not minimum-phase or does not have relative degree one. Using a parallel connection with an additional dynamics, the authors provide a dynamic output feedback control law which renders the composite system passive. Sufficient conditions are presented under which the composite system is output feedback passive. As an application of the dynamic passivation scheme, a point-to-point control law for a flexible joint robot is presented when only the position measurements are available. This provides an alternative way of replacing the role of the velocity measurements for the proportional-derivative (PD) feedback law. The performance of the proposed control law is illustrated in the simulation studies of a manipulator with three revolute elastic joints.

A new robust control law is proposed for uncertain rigid robots and two composite robust control laws for flexible-joint manipulators which contain uncertainties. The uncertainty, is nonlinear and (possibly fast) time-varying. Therefore, the uncertain factors such as imperfect modeling, function, payload change, and external disturbances are all addressed. Based only on the possible bound of the uncertainty, a robust controller is constructed for the rigid counterpart of the flexible-joint robot Some feedback control terms are then added to the robust control law to stabilize the elastic vibrations at the joints. To show that the proposed composite robust control laws are indeed applicable to flexible-joint robots, a singular perturbation approach and the stability study based on Lyapunov function are proposed.

With the prevalent use of robot, the interests in moving speed of robot have been increasing for the purpose of upgrading performance of production. But the faster robot manipulator moves, the worse working accuracies are. And mechanical vibration is more and more serious with the increment of the moving speed of robot. So, the study on the cause and control method of robot vibration is one of the points of issue in robotics. This paper focuses on the vibration of 3 DOF parallel link drive mechanism robot. We assume that links of robot manipulator are `rigid' and joints are `flexible elements'. Governing equations of robot system including controller, servo amplifier, D.C servo motor, transmission with elasticity, and manipulator dynamics are derived. On the basis of modelling, we define `controller stiffness' by the proportional gain of controller and `stiffness of transmission'. Numerical and experimental research is performed to study vibration phenomena of robot induced from the variation of these two defined stiffnesses, and its results are shown.

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.

In terms of the anatomy and mechanics of the human foot, a flexible robot foot with toes and heel joints is designed for a bipedal walking robot. We suggest three design considerations in determining foot design parameters which are critical for walking stability. Those include the position of the frontal toe, the stiffness of toes and heels, and the position of the ankle joint. Compared with the conventional foot with flat sale, the proposed foot is advantageous for human-like walking due to the inherent structural flexibility and the reasonable parameter values. Simulation results are provided to determine the design parameters and also show that the proposed foot enables smaller energy consumption.

본 논문에서는 적응 퍼지 백스테핑 알고리즘을 이용하여 단일축 유연관절 로봇을 제어하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 퍼지시스템은 일반근사기로 사용하여 로봇과 제어기의 비선형성과 불확실성을 상쇄하는 역할을 한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 추가적인 교시 제어기를 필요로 하지 않으며 추적오차를 상시유계시키는 특성이 있다. 끝으로 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 방식의 성능을 확인한다.

This paper focuses on a development of an anthropomorphic robot hand. Human hand is able to dexterously grasp and manipulate various objects with not accurate and sufficient, but inaccurate and scarce information of target objects. In order to realize the ability of human hand, we develop a robot hand and introduce a control scheme for stable grasping by using only kinematic information. The developed anthropomorphic robot hand, KITECH Hand, has one thumb and three fingers. Each of them has 4 DOF and a soft hemispherical finger tip for flexible opposition and rolling on object surfaces. In addition to a thumb and finger, it has a palm module composed the non-slip pad to prevent slip phenomena between the object and palm. The introduced control scheme is a quitely simple based on the principle of virtual work, which consists of transposed Jacobian, joint angular position, and velocity obtained by joint angle measurements. During interaction between the robot hand and an object, the developed robot hand shows compliant grasping motions by the back-drivable characteristics of equipped actuator modules. To validate the feasibility of the developed robot hand and introduced control scheme, collective experiments are carried out with the developed robot hand, KITECH Hand.
