When a task requires two robot arms to move in a cooperative manner sharing a common workspace, potential collision exists between the two robot arm . In this paper, a novel approach for collision-free trajectory planning along paths of two SCARA-type robot arms is presented. Specifically, in order to describe potential collision between the links of two moving robot arms along the designated paths, an explicit form of "Virtual Obstacle" is adopted, according to which links of one robot arm are made to grow while the other robot arm is forced to shrink as a point on the path. Then, a notion of "Coordination Chart" is introduced to visualize the collision-free relationship of two trajectories.of two trajectories.

This paper presents the development of a simulator for an industrial robot. The simulator is characterized by a fully integrated dynamic model and a hardware oriented control scheme. The dynamic model includes the actuator dynamics as well as the manipulator dynamics to integrate the entire dynamics of the robot system. On the other hand, the control scheme is oriented as a hardware structure which is usually implemented in the industrial robot. That is to say, a conventional PI control law is used to regulate the position, the speed, and the current. A Pulse Wave Modulation (PWM)generator modulates the supplied voltage to the actuator. Since the simulator is consistent with the industrial robot system, it provides the essential design concepts for the development process of the robot. In practice, the simulator is applied to the SCARA robot which has been developed in GSIS. Here, it investigates the characteristics and performance of the robot with changing design parameters. Thus, the investigation furnishes criteria for the selection of acfuator, control gain, trajectory planning, etc.

This paper proposes two types of the preview algorithms to predict the joint velocities and joint positions, and deals with a control approach using the preview algorithms for the precise trajectory control. Specifically, a predictor an the form of discrete time state equations is proposed based on the robot dynamics model linearized by the computed torque method. And another state predictor is proposed by the beat line fitting in the least square sense, where present joint velocities and positions and several past positions are employed. Then computer simulations are performed for the SCARA robot with two d.o.f. to show the validities of the proposed algothrithms.

In this paper we investigate the application to the motion control of n-link robotic manipulators of recently developed stable factorization approach to tracking and disturbance rejection. Given control scheme consists of an approximate "Computed Torque" based upon a simplified model together with additional state feedback and feedforward compensation, and then, nonlinear control gain has more useful than constant control gain to guarantee robustness to parameter uncertainty and external disturbance. At this stage, we design high gain nonlinear state feedback controller and simulate this controller at the SCARA type robot manipulator of two joint.

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.

Robot's kinematic equation is not perfect. In this paper, a method for reducing the positioning error which comes from the imperfect robot kinematics is introduced. This method compensates the parameter of the kinematic equation using real positioning error. And the trajectories using these compensated parameterare compared with uncompensated ones.

Chattering-free sliding mode control is derived from the reaching law method and Lyapunov stability theorem. Its control input Is composed of continuous term and discontinuous term. By the combination of these terms, the robustness and tracking performance can be improved and the chattering can be avoided. But in the reaching mode, the sliding mode control is sensitive to the modeling uncertainties, parameter variations and disturbances, also it needs a large control input. These result in poor transient responses. In this paper, to overcome these problems in the reaching mode, a time-varying sliding surface is proposed. And it is applied to a 2-link SCARA robot manipulator, experimental results show that the transient response is improved and its ...

Like the usual systems, the industrial robot manipulator has some constraints for motion. Usually we hope that the manipulators move fast to accomplish the given task. The problem can be formulated as the time-optimal control problem under the constraints such as the limits of velocity, acceleration and jerk. But it is very difficult to obtain the exact solution of the time-optimal control problem. This paper solves this problem in two steps. In the first step, we find the minimum time trajectories by optimizing cubic polynomial joint trajectories under the physical constraints using the modified evolution strategy. In the second step, the controller is optimized for robot manipulator to track precisely the optimized trajectory found in the previous step. Experimental results for SCARA type manipulator show that the proposed method is very useful.

In this paper we outline an approach for the collision-free trajectory planning of two robot arms which are modeled as connected line segments. A new approach to determine the collision between two robot arms and the boundary of the collision region in the coordination space is proposed. The coordination curve may then be chosen to avoid the collision region. For minimum time trajectory, time is assigned to this curve by dynamic time scaling under constraints such as maximum torque or maximum angular velocity of each actuator. A comparison of the proposed method and the graphical method of determining the collision region is also included. Finally, as an example, some simulation results for two SCARA type robots are presented.
