The process equipment for handling high level radioactive materials, such as spent nuclear fuel, is operated within a sealed facility, called a hot cell, due to high radioactivity. Thus, this equipment should be maintained and repaired by remotely operated manipulator. In this study, to carry out the sale and effective maintenance of the process equipment installed in the hot cell by a servo type manipulator, a collision free motion planning method of the manipulator using virtual prototyping technology is suggested. To do this, the parts are modelled in 3-D graphics, assembled, and kinematics are assigned and the virtual workcell is implemented in the graphical environment which is the same as the real environment. The method proposed in this paper is to find the optimal path of the manipulator using the function of the collision detection in the graphic simulator. The proposed path planning method and this graphic simulator of manipulator can be effectively used in designing of the maintenance processes for the hot cell equipment and enhancing the reliability of the spent fuel management.

In this paper, we propose a tracking control method for a quadrotor equipped with a 2-DOF manipulator, which is based on the multiple sliding surface control (MSSC) method. To derive the model of a quadrotor equipped with a 2-DOF manipulator, we obtain the models of a quadrotor and a 2-DOF manipulator based on the Lagrange-Euler formulation separately - and include the inertia and the reactive torque generated by a manipulator when these obtained models are combined. To make a quadrotor equipped with a manipulator track the desired path, we design a double-loop controller. The desired position is converted into the desired angular position in the outer controller and the system's angle tracks the desired angular position through the inner controller based on the MSSC method. We prove that the position-tracking error asymptotically converges to zero based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system through a computer simulation.

Laser Assisted Machining (LAM) was often used in process of difficulty-to-cut materials. In previous study, Laser assisted machining was a straight path processing using 1-axis manipulator in laser module. But 1-axis manipulator in laser module was able to process only straight path. So, in this study, laser module in laser assisted machining equipped to 2-axis manipulator. 2-axis manipulator has two motors. First motor is machining direction motor and second motor is Vertical Motor. Machining direction motor rotates in the direction of machining and vertical motor rotates vertical direction in the direction of machining. Machining path of laser assisted machining was considered diagonal path and curved path of laser heat source. This study calculated the 2-axis manipulator's rotation angle in diagonal path and curved path.

This paper develops a master manipulator which can reflect a force from a slave manipulator effectively. It many have a big workspace, can represent a human operators manipulation perfectly, and is composed of a position control part, an orientation control part and an end effector control part. This paper also develops a graphic simulator using the Visual C++ and OpenGL in the Window operating system. It can be used to make a virtual slave manipulator and set a virtual working environment, and provide a visual information from a desired view point. A virtual teleoperation system is developed by connecting the developed master manipulator to the graphic simulator using an interfacing hardware bilaterally. It is used for performing a virtual object exploration experiment. In the experiment, two virtual objects are used. They are virtual wall and virtual hexahedron which have 0.7N/mm and 2.2 N/mm stiffness respectively. The experiments are performed under six different working conditions. The experiment results will show the effectiveness of the reflected force from the slave manipulator for improving the efficiency and stability of the teleoperation task.

Since the world has changed to a society of 21st century high-tech industries, the modern people have become reluctant to work in a difficult and dirty environment. Therefore, unmanned technologies through robots are being demanded. Now days, effects such as voice, control, obstacle avoidance are being suggested, and especially, voice recognition technique that enables convenient interaction between human and machines is very important. In this study, in order to conduct study on the stable motion control of the robot system that has mobile-manipulator structure and is voice command-based, kinetic interpretation and dynamic modeling of two-armed manipulator and three-wheel mobile robot were conducted. In addition, autonomous driving of three-wheel mobile robot and motion control system of two-armed manipulator were designed, and combined robot control through voice command was conducted. For the performance experiment method, driving control and simulation mock experiment of manipulator that has two-armed structure was conducted, and for experiment of combined robot motion control which is voice command-based, through driving control, motion control of two-armed manipulator, and combined control based on voice command, experiment on stable motion control of voice command-based robot system that has mobile-manipulator structure was verified.

이동매니퓰레이터의 중요한 특징은 잉여의 자유도가 부과되므로 여러 모드의 이동을 가능하게 하고 다양한 작업을 수행할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동로봇과 작업로봇이 결합된 형태를 이동매니퓰레이터라 정의하고 두 로봇이 협동하여 연속적인 하나의 작업을 수행할 때 최적의 자세를 유지할 수 있도록 한다. 이를 위하여 이동 로봇과 작업로봇의 기구학을 해석하고 이를 바탕으로 이동로봇의 Mobility를 이용하여 이동로봇의 가중치를 조정하였다. 또한 이동매니퓰레이터의 최적의 위치와 자세를 조인트 변위량의 최소화 충분조건으로 정의할 때 움직임을 최소화시키는 방법으로 Gradient Method를 이용하여 작업의 최적화 기준을 검토하였다. 이동로봇과 결합된 매니퓰레이터는 PURL-II를 이용하여 제시한 알고리즘 실현과 결과가 논의된다.

A binary parallel robot manipulator uses actuators which have only two stable states and is structure is variable geometry truss. As a result, it has a finite number of states and fault tolerant mechanism because of kinematic redundancy. This kind of robot manipulator has the following advantages compared to a traditional one. Feedback control is not required, task repeatability can be very high, and finite state actuators are generally inexpensive. Because the number of states of a binary robot manipulator grows exponentially with the number of actuators, it is very difficult to solve an inverse kinematic problem. The goal of this paper is to develop an efficient algorithm to solve an inverse kinematic problem when the number of actuators are too much or the target position is located outside of workspace. The backbone curve is generated optimally by considering the curvature of the robot manipulator configuration and length of link. Then, the robot manipulator is fitted along the backbone curve with some criteria.

Several papers have already been reported on the flexible manipulator with constant arm length. Some of industrial manipulators, however, have sliding joints. It means that the length of their arm or link varies with time. This paper discusses the trajectory contro lof such a manipulator model, and shows some of the experimental results.

A position control algorithm for a flexible manipulato is stuudied. The proposed algorithm is based on a fuzzy theroy with a Steady State Genetic Algorithm(SSGA). The conventional fuzzy methods need expert's knowledges or human experiences. The SSGA, which is one of the optimization algorithms, tunes automatically the input-output membership parameters and fuzzy rules. The computer simulation is presented ot illustrate the approaches. Finally we applied a fuzzy theory with a SSGA to aposition control of a flexible manipulator.
