This paper presents an economical solution of the control system of robot, which is widely applied to sophisticated robots. The proposed control system is built on a foundation that is combined between driver motor, PC controlled servo-motor control card, and driver software. The solution had been applied to design hardware of controlled 6-DOF (Degree Of Freedom) robot. The controlled system is used to control VML Robot (Vehicle Mechatronic Lab). Addition, because of flexibility of the solution, the controller can be suit with widely robots at used servo-moto.

This paper describes the application of a model-based system design method critical to complex intelligent systems, PSARE, to a welding robot development to define its top level architecture. The PSARE model consists of requirement model which describes the core processes(function) of the system, enhanced requirement model which adds technology specific processes to requirement model and allocates them to architecture model, and architecture model which describes the structure and interfaces and flows of the modules of the system. This paper focuses on the detailed procedure and method rather than the detailed domain model of the welding robot. In this study, only the top level architecture of a welding robot was defined using the PSARE method. However, the method can be repeatedly applied to the lower level architecture of the robot until the process which the robot should perform can be clearly defined. The enhanced data flow diagram in this model separates technology independent processes and technology specific processes. This approach will provide a useful base not only for improvement of a class of welding robots but also for development of increasingly complex intelligent real-time systems.

This paper presents the development of fire-fighting and rescue robot for Outdoor Environment. In the procedure of this development, we follow Target Oriented Design (TOD) which is recognized as the systematic methodology to design a system by specifying the target clearly. For some real fire fighting tasks (e.g. tasks in shopping street and a market), narrow road make it difficult for existing fire engine to access the firing place. On the other hand, for dangerous tasks (e.g. gasoline station and a storehouse) the explosive materials make it impossible for fire-fighters to access the firing place. Moreover, the smoke and the high-temperature caused by fire make fire fighting difficult. In this situation, the solution is to develop the fire-fighting and rescue robot. TOD is performed firstly by analyzing the environment properties of fro place and the demanded tasks and the fire-fighting and rescue robot is manufactured. For safety, the fire fighting robot should be controlled by remote operation to keep the operator away from the fire, and the control system is divided into three parts: the robot controllers, controller for remote operating device and wireless communication system. We have selected and developed appropriate hardware and software for each part of control system with considering TOD. As a result, the fire-fighting robot functions correctly and the performance and usefulness of our control architecture is validated by successfully performing some fire-fighting tasks.

In this paper, we implement the internet- based remote control system for intelligent robot. For remote control of the robot, it uses the socket communication of the TCP/IP. It consists of- the user interface and the robot control interface. Robot control interface transmits the navigation and environmental informations of the robot into the user interface. In order to transmit the large environmental images, a JPEG compression algorithm is used. User interface displays the navigation status of the robot and transmits the navigation order into the robot control interface. Also, we propose the design method of the fuzzy controller using navigation data acquired by expert's knowledge or experience. To do this, we use virus-evolutionary genetic algorithm(VEGA). Finally, we have shown the proposed system can be operated through the real world experimentations.

In this study, a robot is implemented in H/W based on four-bar linkage mechanism and Jansen mechanism. Our goal is to finish the given path using given terms. The various programs was used to understand the mechanism in more detail. DISON m.Sketch, EDISON Designer, Theo Jansen Mechanism Optimization Solver. Using these programs, we can design the robot in more dtails and reduce errors and trials. For the design and implementation of a robot, it is need to get joint variable, a foot point, and their relation. Thus, the proposed kinematic analysis is very important process for the design and implementation of legged robots.

This paper describes a visual control scheme, fuzzy logic system for visual servoing of an autonomous mobile robot. An existing communication autonomous mobile robot always needs to keep the object in image to detect the moving object. This is a problem in an autonomous mobile robot for spontaneous activity. To solve it, some features for an object are taken from an image and then use in the design of fuzzy logic system for decision of moving location and direction of visual servoing contrivance(apparatus). So continuous tracking is possible by moving the visual servoing contrivance. We present some simulation results and further studies in the Section of Simulation and Concluding Remarks.

In this paper, we have proposed a new approach to the design of robot vision system to develop the technology for the automatic test and assembling of precision mechanical and electronic parts fur the factory automation. In order to perform real time implementation of the automatic assembling tasks in the complex processes, we have developed an intelligent control algorithm based-on neural networks control theory to enhance the precise motion control. Implementing of the automatic test tasks has been performed by the real-time vision algorithm based-on TMS320C31 DSPs. It distinguishes correctly the difference between the acceptable and unacceptable defective item through pattern recognition of parts by the developed vision algorithm. Finally, the performance of proposed robot vision system has been illustrated by experiment for the similar model of fifth cell among the twelve cell fur automatic test and assembling in S company.

This study aims to propose the concept design of oil spill protection robot which can rapidly intervene to control the oil spillage situation at the sea. Taking into account the fact that a huge amount of oil is transported trans-continentally by oil tanker, none of industrialized countries are completely safe from the marine oil spill which results in social, economical and ecological damages to their communities. The employment of double hull-oil tanker, pipe line transporting can be most safe way. Yet complete prevention of oil spill is probably not realistic. Accordingly the alternative solution to control marine oil spill and minimize the damages caused by the incident using intelligent robot technology based on swarm control method is proposed. The main features of oil spill protection(OSP) robot is explained via following three perspectives. Firstly, from functional point of view, OSP robot system safely and efficiently replaces oil boom installation manually conducted by human workers with intelligent robot technology based on swarm control theory. For second, its modular architecture brings efficient storage of main components including oil boom and facilitates maintenance. For the last, its geometric form and shape enables whole system to be installed to helicopter, boat or oil tanker itself with ease and to rapidly deploy the units to the oil spill area.
