The problem of compliant motion control using a redundant manipulator is addressed in this article. Specifically, a hybrid-control type and impedance-control type controllers are extended to general redundant manipulators based on the kinematically decomposed and geometrically compatible modeling of its joint space. In the case of the hybrid controller, it leads to the linear and decoupled closed-loop dynamics in the three motion spaces, that is the motion-controlled, force-controlled, and the null motion-controlled spaces of the redundant manipulator. When the proposed impedance controller is applied, the decoupled impedance models in three motion spaces are obtained. The superiority of the proposed controllers is verified with the numerical experiments.

In this article, a new performance index is proposed to re-duce the collision impulsive force by controlling the null motion of redundant manipulators. First, we define the normalized impact ellipsoid in the viewpoint of instantaneous velocity change. Then, we propose a new impact performance index based on velocity direction for null motion to reduce initial impulsive effects. It gives some advantage for the case of unknown environment. The optimization of this index is that the successional impact forces are reduced. The performance of the proposed index is demonstrated by simulation study.

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.

In this paper show how to design a redundant robot which is suitable for the multiple task without any constraints on the workspace. The implementation is possible by the rigid connection of a mobile robot and a task robot. Use a five joint articulated robot as the task robot; designed the 3 joint mobile robot for this usage. For a task execution assigned to the redundant robot, not only the task robot but the mobile robot should work in the coordinated way. therefore, a kinematic connection of the two robots should be cleary represented in a frame. And, also the dynamic interaction between the two robots needs to be analyzed. Clarified these issues considering the control of the redundant robot. Finally, demonstrate away of utilization of the redundancy as the cooperation between the mobile robot and the task robot to execute a common task.

This paper presents a decentralized motion control method of welding mobile manipulators which use for welding in many industrial fields. Major requirements of welding robots are accuracy, robust, and reliability so that they can substitute for the welders in hazardous and worse environment. To do this, the manipulator has to take the torch tracking along a welding trajectory with a constant velocity and a constant heading angle, and the mobile-platform has to move to avoid the singularities of the manipulator. In this paper, we develop a kinematic model of the mobile-platform and the manipulator as two separate subsystems. With the idea that the manipulator can avoid the singularities by keeping its initial configuration in the welding process, the redundancy problem of system is solved by introducing the platform mobility to realize this idea. Two controllers for the mobile-platform and the manipulator were designed, respectively, and the relationships between two controllers are the velocities of two subsystems. Control laws are obtained based on the Lyapunov function to ensure the asymptotical stability of the system. The simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

이동로봇과 작업로봇의 직결연결 형태인 이동매니퓰레이터는 원자로 내부와 같은 위험한 작업환경에서 다양한 일한 처리하기위해 유용한 시스템이라 할 수 있다. 하부의 이동로봇은 non-holonomic 시스템이고 상부의 작업로봇의 결합으로 인하여 기구학적 잉여자유도를 갖고 있다. 그러나 주행 중 작업공간 확보로 인하여 고정식 매니퓰레이터보다 더 효율적인 작업이 가능 하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상정보에 의한 물체인식 및 최적주행을 수행하기 위하여 이동로봇에 장착된 능동카메라에 인식된 영상과 실제 물체간의 기하학적 관계를 이용하여 직교좌표상의 물체의 위치를 추정할 수 있도록 하였다. 두 번째로 시스템의 위치변위 및 영상정보를 이용하여 물체위치를 추정하고 동차행렬을 이용하여 이동매니퓰레이터의 현 위치와 물체간의 최적경로를 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시한 방법을 시뮬레이션과 이동매니퓰레이터를 이용한 실험데이터분석을 통하여 유효성을 제시하였다.

In this study, an asymmetric lifting posture prediction model was developed, which was a three-dimensional model with 12 links and 23 degrees of freedom open kinematic chains. Although previous researchers have proposed biomechanical, psychophysical, or physiological measures as cost functions, for solving redundancy, they lack in accuracy in predicting actual lifting postures and most of them are confined to the two-dimensional model. To develop an asymmetric lifting posture prediction model, we used the resolved motion method for accurately simulating the lifting motion in a reasonable time. Furthermore, in solving the redundant problem of the human posture prediction, a moment weighted Joint Range Availability (JRA) was used as a cost function in order to consider dynamic lifting. However, it is known that the moment weighted JRA as a cost function predicted the lower extremity and L5/S1 joint motions better than the upper extremities, while the constant weighted JRA as a cost function predicted the latter better than the former. To compensate for this, we proposed a hybrid moment weighted JRA as a new cost function with moment weighted for only the lower extremity. In order to validate the proposed cost function, the predicted and real lifting postures for various lifting conditions were compared by using the root mean square(RMS) error. This hybrid JRA reduced RMS more than the previous cost functions. Therefore, it is concluded that the cost function of a hybrid moment weighted JRA can be used to predict three-dimensional lifting postures. To compare with the predicted trajectories and the real lifting movements, graphical validations were performed. The results also showed that the hybrid moment weighted cost function model was found to have generated the postures more similar to the real movements.
