This paper gives an overview of the relationships between methods of loaming and adaptive control. It is the objective of this paper to develop adaptive learning control algorithms that combine the advantages of adaptive control with those of leaning control to the extent possible for the type of system model used. The robustness of this adaptive loaming control with respect to reinitialization errors and fluctuation of dynamics from disturbance is analyzed extensively. Simulation results have shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.

This paper describes the camera calibration based-neural network with a camera modeling that accounts for major sources of camera distortion, namely, radial, decentering, and thin prism distortion. Radial distortion causes and inward or outward displacement of a given image point from its ideal location. Actual optical systems are subject to various degrees of decentering, that is, the optical centers of lens elements are not strictly collinear. Thin prism distortion arises from imperfection in lens design and manufacturing as well as camera assembly. It is our purpose to develop the vision system for the pattern recognition and the automatic test of parts and to apply the line of manufacturing. The performance of proposed camera calibration is illustrated by simulation and experiment.

In this paper we propose a new approach to the development of the automatic vision system to examine and repair the steam generator tubes at remote distance. In nuclear power plants workers are reluctant of works in steam generator because of the high radiation environment and limited working space. It is strongly recommended that the examination and maintenance works be done by an automatic system for the protection of the operator from the radiation exposure. Digital signal processors are used in implementing real time recognition and examination of steam generator tubes in the proposed vision system. Performance of proposed digital vision system is illustrated by simulation and experiment for similar steam generator moldel.

In order to eliminate position errors existing at the steady state in the motion control of robotic manipulators, a new fuzzy control algorithm is propeosed using three variables, position error, velocity error and integral of position errors as input variables of the fuzzy controller. Although the number of input variables of the fuzzy controller is increased from two to three, the number of fuzzy control rules is just increased by two. Three dimensional look-up table is used to reduce the computational time in real-time control, and a technique reducing the amount of necessary memory is introduced. Simulation and experimental studies show that the position errors at the steady state are decreased more than 90% compared to those of existing fuzzy controller when the proposed fuzzy controller is applied to the 2 axis direct drive SCARA robot manipulator.

A virtual work form of flexible multibody dynamic formulation with rotary inertia has been derived. For the analysis of large flexible multibody systems, deformation modal coordinates have been employed to represent coupled motion between gross and vibrational motion. For the efficient evaluation of the entries in the mass matrix, a flexible body has been treated as a collection of mass points. The rotary inertia was generated from the consistent mass matrix in a finite element model. Deformation mode shapes were obtained from finite element analysis. Bending and twisting vibration analyses of a cantilever have been carried out to see rotary inertia effects. A space flexible robot simulation has been also carried out to show effectiveness of the proposed formulation. This formulation is effective to the model that consists of beam, plate, or shell element that contains rotational degree of freedom at the nodal point. It is also effective to the flexible body model to which a large lumped rotary inertia is attached.

This paper addresses the dynamic consideration of the athletic constraints on skating motion. In order to generate a human-like skating motion, the athletic constraints are distinctively analyzed into dynamic constraints and physical constraints. A close investigation of the athletic constraints evolved valid extent of dominant parameter for a leg muscle. During the human-like skating motion, the state of actuation was shifted from region of maximum force to region of maximum power. Simulation results were intuitively comprehensible, and the effectiveness of analytic algorithm was demonstrated for skating motion.

This paper deals with the problem of synthesis of stable and optimal grasps with unknown objects by 3-finger hand. Previous robot grasp research has analyzed mainly with either unknown objects 2D by vision sensor or unknown objects, cylindrical or hexahedral objects, 3D. Extending the previous work, in this paper we propose an algorithm to analyze grasp of unknown objects 3D by vision sensor. This is archived by two steps. The first step is to make a 3D geometrical model of unknown objects by stereo matching which is a kind of 3D computer vision technique. The second step is to find the optimal grasping points. In this step, we choose the 3-finger hand because it has the characteristic of multi-finger hand and is easy to modeling. To find the optimal grasping points, genetic algorithm is used and objective function minimizing admissible farce of finger tip applied to the object is formulated. The algorithm is verified by computer simulation by which an optimal grasping points of known objects with different angles are checked.

This paper deals with the problem of synthesis of stable and optimal grasps with unknown objects by 3-finger hand. Previous robot grasp research has mainly analyzed with either unknown objects 2-dimensionally by vision sensor or known objects, such as cylindrical objects, 3-dimensionally. As extending the previous work, in this study we propose an algorithm to analyze grasp of unknown objects 3-dimensionally by using vision sensor. This is archived by two steps. The first step is to make a 3-dimensional geometrical model for unknown objects by using stereo matching. The second step is to find the optimal grasping points. In this step, we choose the 3-finger hand which has the characteristic of multi-finger hand and is easy to model. To find the optimal grasping points, genetic algorithm is employed and objective function minimizes the admissible force of finger tip applied to the objects.

In this paper we propose an eminent controller for wheeled mobile robots. This controller consists of an input-output linearization controller trying to stabilize the system and a neural network controller to compensate for uncertainties. The uncertainties are divided into two parts. First unstructured uncertainties include the elements related with system order such as friction disturbance. Second structure uncertainties are the incorrect system parameters A neural network structure of the proposed overall controller learns structural errors of the wheeled mobile robots with uncertainties and includes the neural network output. This controller learns quickly the model and has good tracking performance Simulation results show that the proposed controller is more efficient than analog controllers.
