Adjustable autonomy architecture provides various ways for a human operator to participate as a member of a human-robot team in improving the performance of the team by resolving issues that the robots cannot deal with or performing tasks that the robots alone would unable to do. According to the level of involvement of the human operator, the robots have to adjust their level of autonomy and, in consequence, the operation mode of the overall system shifts. This paper deals with the implementation issues of seamless switching when the level of autonomy of the human-robot team shifts from one level to another. Especially, we focus on developing reliable methods for monitoring the task progress and maximizing the system flexibility by coping with the detailed differences between humans and robots in their characteristics of motions and their choices of positions, paths, and sequences of sub-goals to achieve a given task. To test and motivate the proposed methods, we have assembled three heterogeneous robots which work together to dock both ends of a suspended beam into stanchions.

Many dynamic control have been proposed; however, most of them are limited within stage of simulation study. The main reason is that the computations required for inverse dynamics are far beyond the ability of the present commercially available microprocessors. In this paper, In order to achieve real-time processing in robot dynamic control, a parallel processing computer for robot dynamic control is implemented using two transputer. Two transputer compute two degree of freedom robot. The transputer is a special purpose MPU for parallel processing. Transputers are used in networks to build a high performance concurrent system. A network of transputers and peripheral controllers is constructed using point-to-point communication. To gain most benifit from the transputer architecture, the whole system is programmed in OCCAM which is a high level language for concurrent applications. This control algorithm is applied to the RHINO SCARA type manipulator. We could taked about 438.6 microseconds to compute robot dynamic with two-processors.

Nowadays, with progresses in robotic science, the design and implementation of a mechanism for human-robot interaction with a low workload is inevitable. One notable challenge in this field is the interaction between a single human and a group of robots. Therefore, we propose a new comprehensive framework for single-human multiple-robot remote interaction that can form an efficient intelligent adaptive interaction (IAI). Our interaction system can thoroughly adapt itself to changes in interaction context and user states. Some advantages of our devised IAI framework are lower workload, higher level of situation awareness, and efficient interaction. In this paper, we introduce a new IAI architecture as our comprehensive mechanism. In order to practically examine the architecture, we implemented our proposed IAI to control a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under different scenarios. The results show that our devised IAI framework can effectively reduce human workload and the level of situation awareness, and concurrently foster the mission completion percentage of the UAVs.

Future Combat System(FCS), such as unmanned systems that reduce the danger faced by soldiers in the field, are likely to be studied and developed. Soldiers when finding and disposing of mines risk injury and death. Several methods of safe mine retrieval are investigated. In this paper, a mine removal method, which uses a remote controlled robot to get rid of mines using a 4 channel architecture teleoperation method is used. The robot, when in contact with soil and mines, is controlled by a remote control. The feasibility of using teleoperation controlled system to remove mines is demonstrated in this paper. The Matlab-Simulink was used as a tool to simulate mine removal with robots. The force and position of the robot{slave system of 4 channel architecture) and controller(master system of 4 channel architecture) are analyzed when users handle the controller with sinusoidal force.

In this paper, as an entertainment robot the implementation of boxing robot system is presented for mechatronics education. In order for students to learn robot as a mechatronics system, boxing robot is a good model. The boxing robot consists of three parts: two link arms for punching, controller for actuating wheeled mobile robot, infrared rays sensors for the detection of he other robot and ring. The strategic algorithm for playing boxing is presented as wel as simple game rules.

This paper implements dual-kernel system using standard Linux and real-time embedded Linux for the real-time control of intelligent robot systems. Such system provides more useful services including standard Linux thread that is easy to implement complicated tasks and real-time tasks for the deterministic response to velocity control. Here, an open source real-time embedded Linux, XENOMAI, is ported on embedded target board. And for interfacing with motor controller we adopted a real-time serial device driver. The real-time task was implemented with a priority to keep the cyclic control command for trajectory control. In order to validate deterministic response of the proposed system, the performance measurement of the delay in performing trajectory control with feedback loop is evaluated with non real-time standard Linux. The proposed software architecture is anticipated to take advantage of features in both standard Linux and real-time operating systems for the intelligent robot systems.

The performance of the robot is very limited in the conventional model-based control methods when the environments around a robot are not structured or are varying dynamically. The reason for that is the methods are based on the model of the environments which is very difficult to match with the real environments and on a path planning which is complex and time-consuming. On the other hand, the behavior-based control methods are not dependant on the model of the environments nor a complex planning. In those methods, a specific behavior is coupled with a specific sensor output, so the response of a robot is quite reactive and timely in dynamic and unstructured environments. In this thesis, we propose a situation dependant behavior based control architecture, in which a robot may behave differently to the same sensor output depending on various situations. We also show some experimental results to show the feasibility of the proposed control architecture.

In this paper, to improve the efficiency of welding and user convenience in the shipbuilding industry, a PC-based off-line programming (OLP) technique and the development of a robot transfer unit are presented. The developed OLP system is capable of not only robot motion simulations but also automatic generations of a series of robot programs. The strength of the developed OLP system lies in its flexibility in handling the changes of the welding robot's target objects. Moreover, for a precise transfer of the robot to a desired location, an auxiliary mobile platform named a robot-origin-transfer-unit (ROTU) was developed. To enhance the cornering capability of the platform in a narrow area, the developed ROTU is equipped with 2 steering wheels and 1 driving wheel. Both the OLP and the ROTU were field-tested and their performances were proven successful.

With the progress in process automation, it becomes necessary that a robot should have various sophisticated capabilities. A robot programming language is a tool that can give a robot such capabilities without any change in robot architecture. Especially a task level automatic programming system enables a robot able to perform a job intelligently. Therefore anyone who is not an expert on welding or robot programming can easily use it. In this research, basic automatic welding program is combined with workspace information, which makes users do an arc welding job automatically.
