This paper presents interaction force control between a balancing robot and a human operator. The balancing robot has two wheels to generate movements on the plane. Since the balancing robot is based on position control, the robot tries to maintain a desired angle to be zero when an external force is applied. This leads to the instability of the system. Thus a hybrid force control method is employed to react the external force from the operator to guide the balancing robot to the desired position by a human operator. Therefore, when an operator applies a force to the robot, desired balancing angles should be modified to maintain stable balance. To maintain stable balance under an external force, suitable desired balancing angles are determined along with force magnitudes applied by the operator through experimental studies. Experimental studies confirm the functionality of the proposed method.

The problem of robot navigation and control is a complex task. Its complexity and characteristics depends on the characteristics of the environment robot inhabits, robot construction (mechanical abilities to move, sense) and the job the robot is supposed to do. In this paper we propose a hybrid programming approach to mobile robot navigation and control in an indoor environment. In our approach we used declarative, procedural, and object oriented programming paradigms and we utilized some advantages of our distributed computing architecture. The programming languages corresponding to the paradigms we used were C, C++ and Prolog. In the paper we present some details of our mobile robot hardware and software structure, focusing on the software design and implementation.

In this article we present modular neural control for a leg-wheel hybrid robot consisting of three legs with omnidirectional wheels. This neural control has four main modules having their functional origin in biological neural systems. A minimal recurrent control (MRC) module is for sensory signal processing and state memorization. Its outputs drive two front wheels while the rear wheel is controlled through a velocity regulating network (VRN) module. In parallel, a neural oscillator network module serves as a central pattern generator (CPG) controls leg movements for sidestepping. Stepping directions are achieved by a phase switching network (PSN) module. The combination of these modules generates various locomotion patterns and a reactive obstacle avoidance behavior. The behavior is driven by sensor inputs, to which additional neural preprocessing networks are applied. The complete neural circuitry is developed and tested using a physics simulation environment. This study verifies that the neural modules can serve a general purpose regardless of the robot's specific embodiment. We also believe that our neural modules can be important components for locomotion generation in other complex robotic systems or they can serve as useful modules for other module-based neural control applications.

In existing factory, robot has less necessity that consider person. However, person should be considered at design and use of service robot. To service robot can be used in everyday life along with this, more functions are required. Specially, medical service robot needs function that is intelligence function. Especially, to help patient brain disease patient (cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, imbecility), gait assistance Mobile robot consider ergonomic element necessarily. In order to develop the medical support service robot, the ergonomic design should be considered. This robot ergonomic design parameters are treated in ("evelopment of Medical Support Service Robot Using Ergonomic Design" 2003, ICASS) Fig2 show this Robot. In this study, navigation algorithm of walk assistance robot is analyzed in ergonomic view. Navigation algorithm of Mobile robot can divide by two patterns. Traditional derivative method has shortcoming in dynamic environment. Reactive method is result that react excellently in dynamic environment. However, number of behavior function is limited. So hybrid navigation algorithm was proposed by the alternative way. We consider enough user specificity at navigation algorithm application of gait assistance robot.

Our unicycle robot has simple mechanical structure. But unicycle's dynamical system is a very sensitive unstable system. Equation of motion of this simple unicycle robot was derived using Lagrange's method. In this paper a human inference control mechanism was established throughout an inquiry into hyman riding a unicycle, and we developed a hybrid controller to control our unicycle robot. Our controller is consisted with the PD and fuzzy controller containing fuzzy gain scheduling technique. Computer simulation shows good results.

The present paper studies a robot manipulator's contact tasks on the uncertain flexible objects. The flexible object's distributed parameter model is approximated into a lumped "position state-varying" model. By using the well-known nonlinear feedback compensation, the robot's control space is decomposed into the position control subspace and the object's torque control subspace. The optimal state feedback is designed for the position loop, and the robot's contact force is controlled through controlling the resultant torque on the object using model-reference simple adaptive control. Experiments of a PUMA robot interacting with an aluminum plate show the effectiveness of this control approach. approach.

Emotion interaction between human and robot is an important element for natural interaction especially for service robot. We propose a hybrid emotion generation architecture and detailed design of reactive process in the architecture based on insight about human emotion system. Reactive emotion generation is to increase task performance and believability of the service robot. Experiment result shows that it seems possible for the reactive process to function for those purposes, and reciprocal interaction between different layers is important for proper functioning of robot's emotion generation system.

In this paper, a hybrid position/force control scheme is proposed. The control scheme modifies the position command for force control against constraint surface of environment and is very simply designed and implemented. The merits of the control scheme are that it can cope with change of constraint conditions and small position inaccuracy of the environment. A constraint surface position observer is also proposed to reduce disturbances on controlled force.
