This paper presents an intelligent robotic control method for chamferless parts mating by integrating fuzzy control and neural network. The successful assembly task requires an extremely high position accuracy and a good knowledge of mating parts. However, conventional assembly method alone makes it difficult to achieve satisfactory assembly performance because of the complexity and the uncertainties of the process and its environments such as not only the limitation of the devices performing the assembly but also imperfect knowledge of the parts being assembled. To cope with these problems, an intelligent robotic assembly method is proposed, which is composed of fuzzy controller and learning mechanism based upon neural net. In this method, fuzzy controller copes with the complexity and the uncertainties of the assembly process, while neural network enhances the assembly scheme so as to learn fuzzy rules from experience and adapt to changes in environment of uncertainty and imprecision. The performance of the proposed assembly scheme is evaluted through a series of experiments using SCARA robot. The results show that the proposed control method can be effectively applied to chamferless precision parts mating.

This paper describes a fuzzy rule-based assembly algorithm for precision parts mating, The difficulties in devising reliable assembly strategies result from the complexity of the assembly process and the uncertainty such as imperfect knowledge of the parts being assembled as well as the limitations of the devices performing the assembly. To cope with above problems, we propose an assembly algorithm utilizing fuzzy set theory. The presented method allows us to represent the uncertainty by using fuzzy membership function and treat nonlinear sapping from measured force/torque to corrective motions using rules. Finally, the performance of this method is evaluated through a series of experiments. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be effectively used for chamferless and precision parts mating.

In ths paper a new active assembly algorithm for chamferless precision parts mating, is considered. The successful assembly task requires an extremely high position accuracy and a good knowledge of mating parts. However, conventional assembly mehtod alone makes it difficult to achieve satisfactory assembly performance because of the complexity and the uncertainties of the process and its environments such as imperfect knowledge of the parts being assembled as well as the limitation of the devices performing the assebled as well as the limitation of the devices performing the assembly. To cope with these problems, a self-learning rule-based assembly algorithm is proposed by intergaring fuzzy set theory and neural network. In this algortihm, fuzzy set theory copes with the complexity and the uncertainties of the assembly process, while neural network enhances the assembly schemen so as to learn fuzzy rules form experience and adapt to changes in environment of uncertainty and imprecision. The performance of the proposed assembly algorithm is evaluated through a series of experiments. The results show that the self-learning fuzzy assembly scheme can be effecitively applied to chamferless precision parts mating.

In the automation of rigid parts mating process with the intelligent robots, Peg-In-Hole is the most available task since inserting is some analytic and needs suitable range of forces that can be controlled by induatrial manipulators. In this Peg-In-Hole process, it is very important to identify the contact state between tow parts, peg and hole, to build the strategies for robot motion that leads to avoid the jamming condition occurs during insertion process. In this paper, we adpopted 3 parameters for identification, lFzl, lFxy/Fzl, and lMxy/Fxyl, derived from axes value of Whitney's jamming diagram. Also, we defined the fuzzy membership functions for these parameters and developed the identification algorithm based on fuzzy inference method of max-product. As an experimental result, we obtained about 96% of identification ratio that could be raised up to industrial requirements by further research.

This paper presents a methodology to enable the tolerances on mating parts of an assembly to be specified and be compatible to the precision of an assembly robot so as to achieve maximum system performance. The measure of performance is defined as the Probability of Successful Assembly (PSA). A typical loose fastener assembly, usually called peg-in-a-hole is investigated. The Geometric Tolerancing System is adopted to represent position tolerances of mating parts. Two models are presented by considering modifiers on a position tolerance, Regardless of Feature Size (RFS) and Maximum Material Condition (MMC). Using these models, it is analyzed how the Standard Limits and Fits recommended by ANSI influence the performance of an assembly robot. For this analysis, the Standard Limits and Fits are transformed to the representation scheme of the Geometric Tolerancing System. Due to low PSAs when the Standard Limits and Fits are taken into account, the effect of chamfers around a hole is also analyzed.

This paper presents a choosing method of turning devices for stable robotic assembly based on verification of a base assembly motion instability. In flexible assembly application, the base assembly needs to be maintained in its assembled state without being taken apart. Therefore, the instability of the base assembly motion should be considered when determining the guide line of choosing turning devices by evaluating a degree of the motion instability of the base assembly. To derive the instability, first we inference collision free assembly directions by extracting separable directions for the mating parts and calculate the separability which gives informations as to how the parts can be essily separated. Using these results, we determine the instability evaluated by summing all the modified separabilites of each component part within base assembly.

Nowadays, out of other transmission parts, the sleeve is getting more and more important part for exact and smooth shifting from gear ratio change whenever drivers are needed. To exact and smooth shifting when drivers are needed, all the parts connected with gear shifting should be machined exactly and having dimensions designers are intended. Especially, in case of the sleeve that the most important functional part to shift from gear ratio change that drivers are intended, it needs high precision grade and quality in both sides runout and outer dia runout as well as inner spline small dia & large dia. Because it's assembled with the synchro hub spline and shifted directly with the mating cone. So, it should be applied the hear treatment(hereinafter referred to H.T.M.T) to prevent the friction and percussion loss from shifting with mating cone. At this time, the deformation problems are raised from almost H.T.M.T. process and it makes the inferior part.

More than five pulleys are used in an automobile, such as crankshaft, water pump, air-con compressor, fan and power steering pump pulley. These pulleys are parts that need durability until retiring a car. But there is no design criterion for durability, so pulleys are designed by the experience of designer and trial and error. So, in this study, we carried out stress analysis at durability test condition and compared analysis results to durability test results. It is found that the design criterion for durability is defined as a safety factor and a safety factor is different according to the distance between the center line of v-grooves and the mating surface.

본 연구에서는 Fig.1과 같은 조립용 손목을 개발하였는데, 유연성의 구조는 RCC의 원리를 이용하고, 감지성은 Hi-Thand에서 채택한 스트레인 게이지 방식을 적용 하였다. 이 조립용 손목의 성능실험은 조립될 부품간의 틈새율, 부품의 길이 그리고 오차의 크기에 따라 수행하였으며, 조립시 스트레인 게이지로부터 측정되는 반력들은 D.E.Whitney의 조립이론식을 적용하여 구한 이론치와 비교하여 보았다. 반력을 측정 하는 궁극적인 목적은 이 측정치를 이용하여 귀환제어함으로써 초기오차를 수정하는 것이기 때문에 귀환제어를 어떻게 하느냐에 따라 조립시 생기는 반력이나 조립시간이 달라진다. 따라서 귀환제어를 위한 제어 알고리즘을 개발하였고 조립시 발생하는 반 력을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 구해서 귀환제어 시키지 않을시 즉 수정적 방법에 의해서 조립할때에 발생하는 힘과를 비교 분석하였다.
