The study reported deals with investigating the feasibility of control strategy for a serial rigid link manipulator that applies impulsive torques at the joints. The strategy is illustrated for a planar three rigid link manipulator. An impulse-based concept which uses successive torque impulses on rigid link as the controller for motion correction was introduced. This control strategy was tested over the entire trajectory to demonstrate that the tracking error could be reduced effectively. The best condition for minimizing the tracking error with the least impulse input at each joint is investigated by considering one design and one operating parameter. The first was the damping in the system, and the second was the sampling time during operation. The results show that this approach can provide useful guidance for the design and control of robot manipulators that require minimum impulse feedback for accurate tracking.

This study presents a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC)-based obstacle avoidance and whole-body motion planning method for the mobile manipulators. For the whole-body motion control, the mobile manipulator with an omnidirectional mobile base was modeled as a nine degrees-of-freedom (DoFs) serial open chain with the PPR (base) plus 6R (arm) joints, and a swept sphere volume (SSV) was applied to define a convex hull for collision avoidance. The proposed receding horizon control scheme can generate a trajectory to track the end-effector pose while avoiding the self-collision and obstacle in the task space. The proposed method could be calculated using an interior-point (IP) method solver with 100[ms] sampling time and ten samples of horizon size, and the validation of the method was conducted in the environment of Pybullet simulation.

이동로봇과 작업로봇의 직결연결 형태인 이동매니퓰레이터는 원자로 내부와 같은 위험한 작업환경에서 다양한 일한 처리하기위해 유용한 시스템이라 할 수 있다. 하부의 이동로봇은 non-holonomic 시스템이고 상부의 작업로봇의 결합으로 인하여 기구학적 잉여자유도를 갖고 있다. 그러나 주행 중 작업공간 확보로 인하여 고정식 매니퓰레이터보다 더 효율적인 작업이 가능 하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상정보에 의한 물체인식 및 최적주행을 수행하기 위하여 이동로봇에 장착된 능동카메라에 인식된 영상과 실제 물체간의 기하학적 관계를 이용하여 직교좌표상의 물체의 위치를 추정할 수 있도록 하였다. 두 번째로 시스템의 위치변위 및 영상정보를 이용하여 물체위치를 추정하고 동차행렬을 이용하여 이동매니퓰레이터의 현 위치와 물체간의 최적경로를 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시한 방법을 시뮬레이션과 이동매니퓰레이터를 이용한 실험데이터분석을 통하여 유효성을 제시하였다.

The stewart platform manipulator proposed by stewart is the parallel manipulator which is composed of several independent actuators connecting the upper plate with the base plate and capable of executing a six degree of freedom motion. The manipulator has a structure of a closed loop form, and provides better load-to-weight ratio and ratio and rigidity than a serial manipulator with an open loop form. Moreover, the manipulator has high positional accuracy because position errors of actuators are not additive. Because of these advantages, this manipulator is widely used in many engineering applications such as a driving simulator, a tool of machining center, a force/torque sensor and so on. When this Stewart platform manipulator is controlled in joint space, it is difficult to design a controller using an analytic method due to nonhnearity and unknown parameters of actuators. Therefore, a PID controller is often used because of easiness in applications. To find the PID control gain, a trial-and-error method is generally used. This method is time-consuming, and does not guarantee a optimal gain. Thus, this paper proposes a GA-PID controller which selects an optimal PID control gain using genetic algorithms. And this proposed controller is evaluated experimentally and shows acceptable performance.

The effect of kinematic model choice on robot calibration is examined. This paper presents a complete formulation to identify the actual robot kinematic parameters directly from position data. The method presented in this paper applies to any serial link manipulator with arbitrary order and combination of revolute and prismatic joint.

The 6DOF (degrees of freedom) Parallel Manipulators have some advantages that are high power, high rigidity, high precision for positioning and compact mechanism compared with conventional serial link manipulators. For these Parallel Manipulators, it can be expected to work in the new fields such that the medical operation, high-precision processing technology and so on. For this expectation, it is necessary to control the action reaction pair of forces which act between the Parallel Manipulator and the operated object. In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of the 6DOF Parallel Manipulator and present numerical simulation results.

An inverse kinemetics problem of a reclaimer which digs and transports ironstones or coals in the raw yard is investigated. Because of the special features of the reclaimer of which scooping buckets are attached around the rotating drum at the end of boom, kinematic redundancy occurs in determining the joint varialbes For a given reclaiming point in space the forward kinematics yields 3 equations, however the number of involved variables in the equations are four. A plane equation approximating the surface near a reclaiming point is obtained by considering 8 adjacent points surrounding the reclaiming point. One extra equation to overcome redunduncyis further obtained from the condition that the normal vector at a reclaiming point is perpendicular to the plane. An approximate solution for a simplified problem is first discussed, Numerical solution for the oritinal nonlinear porblem with a constraint equation is also investigated. Finally a closed form solution which is not exact but sufficiently close enough is proposed by exploiting geometric constraint.

In this paper, it was proposed a new technology to improve the performance of the remote control in virtual reality applications. The operator must know the information of surroundings of the robot, collision possibility of the equipment, and force feedback of the manipulator. The time delay problem occurs in the tele-operating and it causes vibration and expressive power of the manipulator owing to bidirectional force feedback. We presented a new control method to control of the teleoperating system based on serial bus. The reliability is evaluated by simulation.

In this paper, output precision characteristic of planar 3 and 6 degree-of-freedom parallel mechanisms are investigated. The 6 degree-of-freedom mechanism is formed by adding an additional small link along with an actuated joint in each of serial subchain of the 3 degree-of-freedom mechanism. First, kinematic analysis for two parallel mechanisms are performed, then their first-order kinematic characteristics are examined via isotropic index and minimum velocity transmission ratio of the mechanisms. It can be concluded that the planar 6 degrees-of-freedom parallel mechanism can be very effectively employed as a high-precision macro-micro manipulator from the analysis results when its link lengths are properly chosen.
