Medical robotics and computer aided surgery in general, and robotic telesurgery in particular, are promising applications of robotics. In this paper, we shows a novel single-master (PHANTOM based single-master multi-slave telerobotic system) multi-slave system using two parallel mechanism micromanipulators as a slave device. After a general introduction to the systems structure and configuration of telerobotic system, a manipulation control strategy to build the system that human and both manipulators perform the cooperative manipulation, is introduced, followed by its kinematic analysis, mapping method, and experimental results.

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 $2.43^{\circ}$.

The Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Process (ACP), which is a pre-disposal treatment process for spent fuel is being developed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The ACP equipment is operated in an intense radiation field as well as in a high temperature. Thus, the equipment is designed in consideration of the remote handling and maintenance. This paper describes a Bridge Transported Bilateral Force-Reflecting Servo-Manipulator (BTSM) system, which is being developed to overcome the limitation of access that is a drawback of the mechanical Master-Slave Manipulators (MSMs), which are mounted on the ACP hot cell wall for the operation and the maintenance of the ACP equipment. The BTSM system was manufactured and temporally installed at the mockup to test its performance. The manufactured BTSM system will be installed at the ACP hot cell on June 2005 after the accomplishment of the performance test. The BTSM system consists of four components: a transporter with a telescoping tubeset, a slave manipulator, a master manipulator, and a remote control system. This system will highly increase the volume of coverage for the operation and maintenance of the ACP equipment.

The virtual reality - haptic device is developed for the purpose used in the work that human cannot approach and that need elaborate exercises. To render haptic, the total system is constituted master, haptic device, and slave, remote manipulator. Human operates the remote manipulator. Human operates the remote manipulator relying on the hapti devices and stereo graphic. And then the force and scene of the remote manipulator is fed-back from each haptic devices and virtual devices. The feedback information gets system gain exactly. The system gain provides the most exact haptic and virtual devices. The feedback information gets system gain exactly. The system gain provides the most exact haptic and scene to human by the location, the graphic rendering and the haptic rendering algorithm on real-time. In this research, 3D haptic device is developed for common usage and make human feel the haptic when human contacts virtual object rendered by computer graphic. The haptic device is good for tracing location and producing devices because of the row structure. Also, openGL and Visual Basic is utilized to the algorithms for haptic rendering. The haptic device of this research makes the interface possible not only with virtual reality but also with the real remote manipulator.

This paper proposes a force reflection control method with a speed saturation compensation scheme for the slave manipulators having a speed saturation due to the high reduction ratio joints. When speed saturation is generated, the proposed force reflection control method not only shows an anti-windup feature in controlling the slave manipulator but also makes the master manipulator move slowly using the force reflection caused by saturation. In this way, the position of the slave manipulator tracks the reference position regardless of speed saturation. The experimental results show that the proposed control method provides excellent performance.

When the manipulator consisting of high ratio gear reducers at its joints is used as the slave manipulator in teleoperated systems, its dynamic characteristics is much slower than that of the master manipulator and it is likely to encounter the saturation in the input magnitude. The control input saturation generates an windup phenomenon that the system stability and position tracking performance of the slave manipulator are to be deteriorated. This paper proposes an force reflecting control scheme and its design method which compensates the control input saturation with absolute stability. The proposed scheme is shown to give a stable force reflection while compensating for control input saturation effectively.

This paper proposed a method of cooperative control of three mobile robots for carrying an object placed on a floor together. Each robot moves to the object independently from its location to a pre-designated location for grasping the object stably. After grasping the common object, the coordination among the robots has been achieved by a master-slave mode. That is, a trajectory planning has been done for the master robot and the distances form the master robot to the two slave robots have been kept constant during the carrying operation. The localization for mobile robots has been implemented using the encoder data and inverse kinematics since the whole system does not have the slippage as much as a single mobile robot. Before the carrying operation, the lifting operations are implemented using the manipulators attached on the top of the mobile robots cooperatively. The real cooperative lifting and carrying operations are implanted to show the feasibility of the master-slave mode control based on the kinematics using the mobile manipulators developed for this research.

The development of a prototype for a Bridge Transported Servo Manipulator (BTSM) system operating in a hot cell is introduced. Mechanical master-slave manipulators (MSMs) which are mounted on the hot cell wall cannot access all the areas for the equipment maintenance due to their reach limitation. The BTSM has been developed to overcome the limitation of access that is a drawback of the MSMs for the equipment maintenance. Wire driven mechanisms have been adopted to increase the handling capacity to weight. This system can be a useful reference for designing other devices in the nuclear industry.

The propose of this paper is to implement the master slave control with non-actuated Master Arm scheme by using spaceball. The spaceball is a device which can receive all 6-DOF at once and was selected because it isn't dependent to robot type or it's DOF but can be used to produce information about 3D coordiante system The proposed method's main benefit is that one who has no idea about robot structure can control the manipulator with easy. The simulation is supported with 3 modes of control to accomodate unexpected situation. The proposed implementation has probed that a non-trained user can manipulate the slave with intuition without much difficults.
