Dual arm manipulators have been developed for the entertainment purpose such as humanoid type or the industrial application such as automatic assembly. Nowadays, there are some issues for applying the dual arm robot system into the various fields. Especially, robots can substitute human and perform the dangerous activity such as search and rescue in the battle field or disaster. In the paper, the dual arm manipulator which can be adapted to the rescue robot with the mobile platform was developed. The kinematic design was proposed for the rescue activity and the required specification was determined through the kinematic analysis and the dynamic analysis in the various conditions. The proposed dual arm manipulator was manufactured based on the vibration analysis result and its performance was proved by the experiment.

일반적으로 산업용 로봇은 가반중량에 비해서 매우 큰 자중을 가지게 되며, 이로 인한 큰 중력토크를 보상하여야 하므로, 고사양의 모터/감속기를 사용하게 되어 제조단가가 높아진다. 이러한 머니퓰레이터의 자중 및 가반중량을 기계식 중력보상장치로 보상하게 된다면, 모터/감속기 사양을 크게 낮추어서 제조단가를 낮출 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 와이어 기반의 중력보상장치의 경우, 내구성 및 파손 등의 문제로 실용성이 낮았다. 본 연구에서는 이를 개선하고자 기어 및 롤러 기반의 내구성 높은 중력보상장치를 개발하고, 이를 사용하여 낮은 용량의 모터/감속기로도 가반하중 목표를 만족시킬 수 있는 중력보상 장치를 탑재한 머니퓰레이터를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 제안한 중력보상장치가 머니퓰레이터의 모든 자세에 대해서 중력에 대한 완전한 보상토크를 제공하였으며, 큰 가반하중에 대해서도 적절한 보상토크를 제공할 수 있음을 보였다.

Industrial robots are powerful, extremely accurate multi-jointed systems, but they are heavy and highly rigid because of their mechanical structure and motorization. Therefore, sharing the robot working space with its environment is problematic. A novel pneumatic artificial muscle actuator (PAM actuator) has been regarded during the recent decades as an interesting alternative to hydraulic and electric actuators. Its main advantages are high strength and high power/weight ratio, low cost, compactness, ease of maintenance, cleanliness, readily available and cheap power source, inherent safety and mobility assistance to humans performing tasks. The PAM is undoubtedly the most promising artificial muscle for the actuation of new types of industrial robots such as Rubber Actuator and PAM manipulators. However, some limitations still exist, such as the air compressibility and the lack of damping ability of the actuator bring the dynamic delay of the pressure response and cause the oscillatory motion. In addition, the nonlinearities in the PAM manipulator still limit the controllability. Therefore, it is not easy to realize motion with high accuracy and high speed and with respect to various external inertia loads in order to realize a human-friendly therapy robot To overcome these problems a novel controller, which harmonizes a phase plane switching control method with conventional PID controller and the adaptabilities of neural network, is newly proposed. In order to realize satisfactory control performance a variable damper - Magneto-Rheological Brake (MRB) is equipped to the joint of the manipulator. Superb mixture of conventional PID controller and a phase plane switching control using neural network brings us a novel controller. This proposed controller is appropriate for a kind of plants with nonlinearity uncertainties and disturbances. The experiments were carried out in practical PAM manipulator and the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm was demonstrated through experiments, which had proved that the stability of the manipulator can be improved greatly in a high gain control by using MRB with phase plane switching control using neural network and without regard for the changes of external inertia loads.

본 연구팀은 프레스 공정의 협소공간에서 작업이 가능한 6자유도 로봇을 개발하고 있으며, 본 논문은 개발된 로봇의 작업 시간을 최소화하기 위한 작업 시퀀스 최적화 방법을 제안하였다. 우선 6 자유도 로봇의 기구학을 모델링하고 작업 시간 예측 방법을 기술하였다. 그리고 작업 시퀀스 최적화를 위하여 수학적 모델을 제시하고, 이를 바탕으로 개미 집단 시스템(ant colony system), 시뮬레이트 어니일링(simulated annealing), 유전자 알고리즘(genetic algorithm)의 세 가지 최적화 방법을 적용하고 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 유전자 알고리즘이 가장 좋은 결과를 보임을 확인할 수 있었으며, 계산 속도 측면에서도 가장 빨리 최적값에 수렴하였다. 또한, 개미집단시스템과 시뮬레이티드 어니일링의 경우 여러 파라미터 값들의 설정에 따라 수렴된 최적값의 편차가 비교적 큰 것에 비하여, 유전자 알고리즘은 파라미터 값에 상관없이 안정적으로 근사 최적값을 찾을 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 로봇의 작업시퀀스 최적화 방법을 시각적으로 검증하기 위하여 Mathworks 사의 Matlab과 Coppelia Robotics 사의 V-REP (virtual robot experimentation platform)를 사용한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

Direct-drive SCARA-type industrial robots are increasingly used in the assembly process of small mechanical parts as well as electronic components, which uses direct-drive (DD) motors instead of reduction gear-type conventional motors for the actuators of manipulator arms. There are many advantages in using DD motors for robots, such as no backlash, low friction, high mechanical stiffness capability for fast and precise arm control, and high repeatability of positioning. However, there exist a number of difficulties which must be overcome to ensure proper construction and operation; increasing effects of load veriation and nonlinear and coupling dynamics, severe vibration caused by resonance of the manipulator components and low mechanical damping, etc. In order to handle these difficulties, lots of efforts have been made such as reduction of the arm inertia and elimination of the resonance, Performance evaluation of a recently developed, domestic DD robot shows that it works excellently compared with conventional robots. It, however, requires proved reliability and price competitiveness against its foreign counterparts.

In this paper, it is presented a new technique to the design and real-time implementation of fuzzy control system based-on digital signal processors in order to improve the precision and robustness for system of industrial robot. Fuzzy control has emerged as one of the most active and fruitful areas for research in the applications of fuzzy set theory, especially in the real of industrial processes. In this thesis, a self-organizing fuzzy controller for the industrial robot manipulator with a actuator located at the base is studied. A fuzzy logic composed of linguistic conditional statements is employed by defining the relations of input-output variable of the controller, In the synthesis of a FLC, one of the most difficult problems is the determination of linguistic control rules from the human operators. To overcome this difficult, SOFC is proposed for a hierarchical control structure consisting of basic level and high level that modify control rules.

Tele manipulator is distingushed from industrial robot by iterating same specified work. Manipulator operator is included in control loop for controlling the telemanipulator because he decide directly during the work and order controllabily reducing the modelling error of telemanipulator which depend on the PID controller. But position-force control method of bidirectional control impose unsafety of vibiration and Analytic Hierachy Method can stabilize for reducing nonlinear modelling error by expert operator because of transformation empirical control rule to linear model.

This thersis presents precise position control emthods of a 3-PRPS in-parallel manipulator for industrial applications such as assembly of highly integrated semiconductors and microsurgery. Since real-time ontrol is one of the most important issues required for industrial application, the experimental hardware is set up with a VME based DSP controller. In the 3-PRPS parallel mainpulator, structurally existing frictiion at three horizontal links considerably degrades the precise position control. In order to compensate the friction of the horizontal links in the joint space, a disturbance compensation usign disturbance and velocity observers has been proposed and investigated. We analyzed the decision method of eigenvalues of the disturbance observer and the effects of the control resulted form tehsystem model errors. Through a series of simulations and experiments, we see that the methods is capable of compensating variations of the robot parameters such as inertia and damping as well as the joint friction. Experiments show that the disturbance compensation method usign disturbance and velocity observer is very effective to compensate the friction. Compared with conventional PID position control, it decreased position errors ina circular motion by approximately 70%.

In recent years, robots have been used widely in industrial field and have been expanded as a result of continuous research and development for high-speed and miniaturization. The goal of this paper is to design the serial manipulator through kinematic analysis and to control the position and orientation of end-effector with respect to time. In general, a structure of industrial robot consists of several links connected in series by various types of joints, typically revolute and prismatic joints. The movement of these joints is determined in inverse kinematic analysis. Compared to the complicated structure of parallel and hybrid robot, open loop system retains the characteristic that each link is independent and is controlled easily. AC servo motor is used to place the robot end-effector toward the accurate point with the desired speed and power while it is operated by position control algorithm. The robot end-effector should trace the given trajectory within the appropriate time. The trajectory of end-effector can be displayed on the monitor of general personal computer through Opengl program.
