A lot of researches have been done in teleoperation field. For accurate and reliable teleoperation, force reflection is required so that the master can feel the same force, which is measured at reflection have been applied to most of the master device. Therefore the master can not control the force exerted by the slave robot to the environment. But some tasks such as an insertion with very small tolerance, skewing bolt and so forth, require the force command from the master.

A human operator is able to perform some tasks smoothly with force feedvack for the teleoperation or a virtual device in a the virtual environments. This paper describes a virtual force generation method with which operator can feel the interactive force between virtula robot and artificial environments. A virtual force generation algortihm is applied to generate the contact force at the arbitrary point of virtual robot, and the virtual force is displayed to the human operator via a tendon master arm consisted with 3 motors. Some experiments has beencarried out to verify the effectiveness of the force generation algorithm and usefulness of the developed backdrivable master arm.

This study developed a human robot master arm, which has a structure similar to the human arm, with the object of taking over human works. The robot arm was structured to reproduce human actions using three axes on each of the shoulder and the wrist based on mechanics, and the actuator of each axis adopted an ordinary DC motor. The servo system of the actuator is a one body type employing an amp for electric power, and it was designed to be small and lightweight for easy installation. We examined the posture control characteristics of the developed robot master arm in order to test its interlocking, continuous notions and reliability.

Teleoperation of a robot arm working in hazardous environments has been studied in the field of defense and security. A master system is an essential part that plays an important role in the teleoperation. We developed a master system, which is an essential part in the teleoperation, so that it can operate the slave robot arm intuitively and has excellent mobility and portability compared to conventional master systems. The master system adopted a Stewart platform to minimize the size and weight, and the legs of the Stewart platform are composed of wires to improve the operation range of the system. The experimental validation of the developed master system is conducted with a commercial IMU, and the experimental results show that the proposed master system can perform reliable and dexterous teleoperation.

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.

This Paper presents some of challenges of creating feedback force, through manipulation of master manipulator, allowing the user to feel objects within a virtual environment. A sense of touch for the virtual environment. A sense of touch for the virtual environments was generated by a virtual compliance control method. In theis system data communication between the master and slave, we used TCP protocol. In the experiments. A position error between the master and slave arm was about $13.56^{\circ}$ in case that the master and slave arm had not compliance properties of the virtual object, while they have the its properties the position error reduced by $2.43^{\circ}$.

This paper describes the force display system which presents feel information to the operator through manipulating a virtual tool with a master arm in the simulated environment. The movement of a tool grasped by the operator, which is modeled as a circle or a square is displayed in the graphic screen of a computer. When the tool contacts with the virtual environment, the operator is forced to feel contact and the feature of the virtual environment through torque control of the master arm. Contact situations are modeled as close as to the reality considering the friction, and multiple contacts. Several experients are conducted and the effectiveness of the developed system is confirmed.

가상환경 기술이 발전하면서 보다 현실감 있는 가상환경을 구현할 수 있으나, 이를 사용하는 사용자 환경에 대한 연구는 아직 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 사용자에게 전 시야를 제공해 줄 수 있는 CAVE 시스템을 구축하였으며, 보다 현실감 있는 조작을 위하여 사용자에게 힘의 정보를 전달하여 줄 수 있는 햅틱 암마스터를 채택하였다. CAVE와 햅틱 암마스터를 사용하여 가상물체를 보면서 접촉하거나 조작할 수 있는 가상환경을 구축하였다.

We investigate a design methodology for master arm which is employed in remote-site control. Though counter-balancing has been employed for the purpose of lessening the actuator loads, it results in the increase of dynamic load at the task position. Therefore, there exist a trade-off between counter-balacing and dynamic performance. The concept of a composite index is introduced to simulataneously consider those two effects in the design of master arms. Several alternative designs of master arms are suggested.

EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based fieldbus system standardized in IEC 61158 and SEMI, and widely used in the fields of factory automation, semiconductor equipment and robotics. In this paper, an EtherCAT master is implemented on an embedded board with Arm based 64-bit quad-core processor and its jitter performance is evaluated at the output of the network interface to include all the effects of the entire system in the results. For the EtherCAT master system, an open source EtherCAT master stack, Simple Open EtherCAT Master (SOEM), is installed on PREEMPT_RT patched Linux operating system for real-time operation. The results show that the jitter performance is comparable to that of Xenomai-based master and the EtherCAT master with two master instances has similar jitter performance to the EtherCAT master with one master instance.
