This paper presents a time efficient method for determining a sequence of locations of a mobile manipulator that facilitates tracking of continuous path in cluttered environment. Given the task trajectory in the form of octree data structure, the algorithm performs characterization of task space and subsequent multistage optimization process to determine task feasible locations of the robot. Firstly, the collision free portion of the trajectory is determined and classified according to uniqueness domains of the inverse kinematics solutions. Then by implementing the extent of task feasible subspace into an optimization criteria, a multistage optimization problem is formulated to determines the task feasible locations of the mobile manipulator. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through a simulation study performed for a 3-d.o.f. manipulator with generic kinematic structure.

The mobile manipulator is expected to work in partially defined or unstructured environments. In our global/local approach to path planning, joint trajectories are generated for a desired Cartesian space path, designed by the global path planner. For a local path planner, inverse kinematics for a redundant system is used. Joint displacement limit for the manipulator links is considered in the motion planner. In an event of failure to obtain feasible trajectories, the task cannot be accomplished. At the point of failure, a deviation in the Cartesian space path is obtained and a replanner gives a new path that would achieve the goal position. To calculate the deviation, a nonlinear optimization problem is formulated and solved by standard Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method.

This paper proposes an optimal three-dimensional coordinate implementation of the vision sensor using two CCD cameras. The PBVS (Position based visual servoing) is implemented using the positional information obtained from images. Stereo vision by PBVS method that has enhanced every frame using calibration parameters is effective in the distance calculation. The IBVS (Image based visual servoing) is also implemented using the difference between reference and obtained images. Stereo vision by IBVS method calculates the distance using rotation angle of motors that correspond eyes and neck without enhanced images. The PBVS method is compared with the IBVS method in terms of advantages, disadvantages, computing time, and performances. Finally, the IBVS method is applied for the dual arm manipulator on the mobile inverted pendulum. The autonomous mobile inverted pendulum is successfully demonstrated using the center of the manipulator's mass.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive tracking control method of a mobile manipulator for contour following with a kinematic model to have several unknown dimension parameters. Moreover, we will use the decentralized control method to design two independent controllers for two subsystems. The proposed controllers in this paper are based on the Lyapunov function in order to guarantee the stability of whole system for contour following task. The updated laws are also designed to estimated the unknown dimension parameters. Finally, the simulation results are presented to show the validity of the proposed controllers in this paper.

This paper deals with the inertia property-based redundancy resolution in posture control of a mobile manipulator. As a measure for the redundancy resolution of a mobile manipulator, an effective inertia at the end effector in the operational space is proposed and investigated. The reduced effective inertia has a significant effect on reducing the impulse force in collision with environment. To find a posture satisfying both the reduced inertia and joint limit constraints, we propose a combined potential function method that can deal with multiple constraints. The proposed reduced inertia property algorithm is integrated into a damping controller to reduce the impulse force at collision and to regulate the contact force in mobile manipulation ...

This study proposes a new approach to design of the robust control application of a mobile manipulator with dual-arm. The mobil manipulator robot system consists of 12 DOF manipulators and a mobile robot. Kinematics of the robotics has been analyzed and simulated to verify reliability. A position-based torque control technique is applied to the robot by adding an outer loop to interact with the environment. Experimental studies of torque control applications of robot arm and interaction with a user operator are conducted. Experimental results has been proved that the robot arm performed regulated to follow the desired reference.

Most of the initial forms of cooperative robots were intended to repeat simple tasks in a given space. So, they showed no significant difference from industrial robots. However, research for improving worker's productivity and supplementing human's limited working hours is expanding. Also, there have been active attempts to use it as a service robot by applying AI technology. In line with these social changes, we produced a mobile manipulator that can improve the worker's efficiency and completely replace one person. First, we combined cooperative robot with mobile robot. Second, we applied speech recognition technology and deep learning based object detection. Finally, we integrated all the systems by ROS (robot operating system). This system can communicate with workers by voice and drive autonomously and perform the Pick & Place task.

In this paper, the general problem of impedance control for a robotic manipulator with a moving flexible base is addressed. Impedance control imposes a relation between force and displacement at the contact point with the environment. The concept of impedance control of flexible base mobile manipulator is rather new and is being considered for first time using singular perturbation and new sliding mode control methods by authors. Initially slow and fast dynamics of robot are decoupled using singular perturbation method. Slow dynamics represents the dynamics of the manipulator with rigid base. Fast dynamics is the equivalent effect of the flexibility in the base. Then, using sliding mode control method, an impedance control law is derived for the slow dynamics. The asymptotic stability of the overall system is guaranteed using a combined control law comprising the impedance control law and a feedback control law for the fast dynamics. As first time, base flexibility was analyzed accurately in this paper for flexible base moving manipulator (FBMM). General dynamic decoupling, whole system stability guarantee and new composed robust control method were proposed. This proposed Sliding Mode Impedance Control Method (SMIC) was simulated for two FBMM models. First model is a simple FBMM composed of a 2 DOFs planar manipulator and a single DOF moving base with flexibility in between. Second FBMM model is a complete advanced 10 DOF FBMM composed of a 4 DOF manipulator and a 6 DOF moving base with flexibility. This controller provides desired position/force control accurately with satisfactory damped vibrations especially at the point of contact. This is the first time that SMIC was addressed for FBMM.

인간과 함께 협력하는 서어비스 산업에서 요구되는 로봇은 고정된 환경에서 단순 반복 작업을 하는 기존 산업용 로봇의 개념을 뛰어 넘어 변화하는 환경에서 이동하면서 물체 이송 및 조작 기능을 수행하는 작업 형태를 취한다. 일반적으로 서어비스 로봇은 이동 능력과 조작능력이 겸비된 mobile manipulator의 외양을 갖는 것이 가장 응용 분야가 넓다. 이러한 mobile manipulator는 구동 축만 10축 내외가 되므로 축별 서보 제어기와 종류별 센서 제어기들을 분산화 시키는 구조가 신뢰성, 연산 능력의 측면에서 바람직하다. 개방형 구조로써 서보 제어기와 센서 제어기의 결합에 따른 비용 절감을 위하여 저가의 고속 통신망을 사용하고, 제어기 구성 요소들의 수급 다양화와 보수 유지의 간편화를 위하여 개방화된 인터페이스 하드웨어를 채택한다. 또한 자체 동력원에 의해 구동되는 것이 작업범위에 제한을 가하지 않으므로 로봇 제어기가 로봇 내부에 실장되어 오랜 시간 운용 가능하도록 소형화된 구조를 지니도록 설계한다.
