본 논문에서는 산업용 매니퓰레이터의 작업 성능 향상을 위하여 영상 기반의 물체 인식 방법을 제안하였다. 기존 산업용 매니퓰레이터의 경우 대부분 산업 현장에서 제공하는 정보만을 활용해 산업용 매니퓰레이터를 동작시킴으로써 작업 물체 틀어짐 등에 대한 문제를 고려하지 않고 있기에 보다 안정적인 작업을 수행하는데 있어 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 사용된 물체인식 방법은 기존의 Harris Coner 알고리즘의 인식률 향상을 위하여 HSV채널로부터 색상정보를 포함한 V채널과 배경분리가 용이한 S채널을 분리 한 뒤 이를 바탕으로 Otsu Thresholding 기법을 적용하였다. 이를 통해 작업 물체를 보다 정확하게 인식하고 만약 작업 물체가 외부요인에 의하여 정확한 위치에 놓여있지 않거나 뒤틀어져 있는 경우 신속하게 확인한 후 원활한 작업을 위해 산업용 매니퓰레이터의 동작 제어를 수행하는 것으로 실제 산업용 매니퓰레이터에 적용한 후 실험을 통하여 이를 검증하였다. 이는 실제 공장 시스템에서 갑작스런 사람의 유입 혹은 외부요인에 의한 작업 물체의 변화 등의 문제점에 대하여 강인하고 유연하게 대처하며 오류로 인한 작업공정의 중단을 사전에 방지함으로서 전체시스템 가동시간의 효율성을 증대시키는 결과를 가져올 수 있다.

We are concerned with the dual-arm manipulation for disaster-responding special-purpose machinery. This paper presents a control strategy for performing complex work in an irregular environment, the control algorithm, the hydraulic circuit, and the master devices. The occurrence of collapse accidents at disaster sites such as natural disasters and building collapses is increasing, which is emerging as a social problem. In particular, for the initial response, various tasks must be performed in an irregular environment. The Marionette algorithm for intuitive control of 'as if the operator's arm is moving' was presented as a control strategy for dual-arm manipulators with attachments and the prototype. Next, the hydraulic circuit, control system, and wearable-type master device presented to implement the Marionette algorithm were explained and verified through an experiment in which rebar-cutting, drum-lifting, and lifting a bottle with one arm and pouring the water into the bucket with the other arm were tested.

Majority of industrial robots are controlled by a simple independent joint control of joint actuators rather than complex controllers based on the nonlinear dynamic model of the robot manipulator. In this independent joint control scheme, the performance of actuator control is influenced significantly by the joint disturbance torques including gravity, Coriolis and centrifugal torques, which result in the trajectory tracking error in the joint control system. The control performance of a redundant manipulator under independent joint control can be improved by minimizing this joint disturbance torque in resolving the kinematic redundancy. A 3 DOF planar robot is studied as an example, and the dynamic programming method is used to find the globally optimal joint trajectory that minimize the joint disturbance torque over the entire motion. The resulting solution is compared with the solution obtained by the conventional joint torque minimization, and it is shown that joint disturbance can be reduced using the kinematic redundancy.

During operating given working a robot manipulator makes some problems such as the accumulation of the error or the deviation from the command trajectory. These problems are mainly due to the disturbance noise or unmodeled system parameters. To solve these problems most of robot manipulators equip the controller. But if exact controller gains are not seleced we can't decrease the working efficiency(such as compensation about error or deviation) of the robot manipulator. So in this paper we present the controller gain tuning law by which we can find the controller gain which satisfies the per-formance specification of the robot manipulator during working of the robot. The proposed algorithm is derived from the Laypunov direct method. And by the simulation on the 4-axis SCARA type robot(SAMSUNG SM5 Robot) we guarantee the performance of this algorithm.

This paper presents an iterative learning control scheme for industrial manipulators. Based upon the frequency-domain analysis, the input update law of the learning controller is given together with a sufficient condition for the convergence of the iterative process in the frequency domain. The proposed learning control scheme is structurally simple and computationally efficient since it is independent joint control depending only on locally measured variables and it does not involve the computation of complicated nonlinear manipulator dynamics. Moreover, it is capable of canceling the unmodeled dynamics of the manipulator without even the parametric model. Several important aspects of the learning scheme inherent in the frequency-domain design are discussed and the control performance is demonstrated through computer simulations.

Like the usual systems, the industrial robot manipulator has some constraints for motion. Usually we hope that the manipulators move fast to accomplish the given task. The problem can be formulated as the time-optimal control problem under the constraints such as the limits of velocity, acceleration and jerk. But it is very difficult to obtain the exact solution of the time-optimal control problem. This paper solves this problem in two steps. In the first step, we find the minimum time trajectories by optimizing cubic polynomial joint trajectories under the physical constraints using the modified evolution strategy. In the second step, the controller is optimized for robot manipulator to track precisely the optimized trajectory found in the previous step. Experimental results for SCARA type manipulator show that the proposed method is very useful.

A telemanipulator that reflects grasping force of the slave gripper to the human operator was implemented in order for manipulation to be more delicate and safe. An industrial robot gripper was used as the slave manipulator. The master manipulator was constructed to make it easy for a human operator to direct the slave and to feel the reflected gripping force. Reflected force was generated by the servomotor of the master. The force signal and position signals of the master and the slave was used to generate driving force signal. Basically position-position type control was used. Miner force feedback is added to improve the performance of the system. Implemented system was tested by colliding two fingers of the slave manipulator, and here switching was used to archive more fast and easy manipulation.

In this paper, we propose a new weaving trajectory algorithm for the are welding of a articulated manipulator. The algorithm uses the theory of Bezier spline. We make a comparison between the conventional algorithms using Catmull-Rom curve and the new algorithms rising Bezier spline. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated based on the MATLAB environment in order to illustrate its good performance. The algorithm has been implemented on to the industrial manipulator of DR6 so as to show its real possibility. Through simulations and real implementations, the proposed algorithm can result in high-speed and flexible weaving trajectory planning and can reduce the processing time because it needs one-half calculation compared to the conventional algorithm using Catmull-Rom curve.

Fruit harvesting robots should have more diversity and flexibility in the working conditions and environments than industrial robots. This paper presents an efficient optimization algorithm for redundant manipulators to avoid obstacles using dynamic performance criteria, while the optimization schemes of the previous studies used the performance criteria using kinematic approach. Feasibility and effectiveness of this algorithm were tested through simulations on a 3-degrees-of-freedom manipulator made for this study. Only the position of the end-effector was controlled , which requires only three degrees of freedom. Remaining joints, except for the wrist roll joint, which does not contribute to the end-effector linear velocity, provide two degrees of redundancy. The algorithm was effective to avoid obstacles in the workspace even through the collision occurred in extended workspace, and it was found be to a useful design tool which gives more flexibility to design conditions nd to find the mechanical constraints for fruit harvesting robots.

Optimal design of fault-tolerant, spatial type maniplators is treated in this paper. Design objective is to guarantte three degree-of-freedom translational motions in the task space, upon failure of one arbitrary joint of 4 degree-of -freedom manipulators. Realizing the nonfault-tolerant characteristics of current, wrist-type industrial manipulators, several 4 degree-of-freedom redundant structures with one joint redundancy are suggested as the fault-tolerant spatial -type manipulators. Fault-tolerant charactersitics are investigated basedon the analysis of the self-motion and the null-space elements, of a redundant manipulator. Finally, in order to maximize the fault-tolerant capability,optimal design is performed for a spatial-type manipulator with respect to the global isotropic index, and the performance enhancement of the optimized case is shown by simulation.
