A dual-stage positioner for fast and fine robotic manipulations is presented. By adopting the merits of both coarse and fine actuator, a desirable system having the capacity of large workspace with high resolution of motion is enabled. We have constructed an ultra precision XY positioner with dual-stage mechanism where the PZT driven fine stage is mounted on the motor driven XY positioner and applied it to fine tracking controls and micro-tele operations as a slave manipulator. We describe essential merits of the compound actuation mechanism and some control strategies to successfully utilize it with proper servo system design. Through experimental results, the effectiveness of the coarse/fine manipulation by the dual-stage positioner will be shown.

In this paper, a direct method for obtaining the trajectory set points is investigated in discrete-time, which is different from the other conventional schemes. We consider the tracking of a straight line path, where the trajectory set points for manipulator control are determined exactly on the straight line path. For the purpose of the munimum-time operation of manipulators, the problem is formulated as a maximization of the Cartesian distance between two consecutive servo time instants. The maximization is subject to the smoothness and torque constraints. Several algorithms are developed and utilized to maximize the Cartesian distance. The proposed approach has been simulated on a VAX-11/780 computer to verify its performance.

In this paper, a servo controller for a robot manipulator is developed. It consists of a conventional MRAS controller for each joint together with a feedback control to Dynamics compensation. To generale the control torque effectively a currant drive method is adopted. The speed of the actuator is measured by using a tachometer and the position of the link is measured by using a potentiometer. To show the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm the proposed controller is tested in real time.

This paper focuses on the stability and operability of a man-machine system considering a human operator. Some papers' main interest has been the stability only, but the operability such as fatigue is also the other main interest. In a man-machine system, feelings such as motional, visual, and kinesthetic are important since those enable operators to work easily or fatigue operators. A model of a man-machine system has been developed. Motional, visual, and kinesthetic feelings may be considered as feedbacked sensor signals. We also have quantified the degree of fatigue with respect to reference operation. This is a performance index to be optimized. Several methods are presented to optimize the degree of fatigue and the stability of the integrated system. Examples are presented to show that the usefulness of the proposed modeling method and fatigue mitigating algorithm.

최근 자동화기술의 발달에 따라 산업용 로보트팔의 경량화, 고속화를 실행하 게 되는 경우와 우주, 원자력발전소 등과 같은 특수한 환경하에서 매니퓰레 이터(manipulator)를 제어하게 되는 경우가 많아지고 있는데, 이때 팔의 강성 이 충분하지 않으면 위치결정시 목표점에서의 과도진동이 발생하게 되어 위 치결정정도와 작업효율이 저하된다. 그러므로 이러한 경량화된 장비들의 진 동특성을 파악하고 운동시 발생하는 진동을 효율적으로 제어할 수 있는 제 어기(controller)를 설계하여 잔류진동을 감쇠시키므로써 위치결정시간을 줄 일 수 있고, 전체 작업행정시간이 단축되므로써 작업ㅎ류을 향상시키는 효과 를 가져오게 된다. 이때 원하고자 하는 제어를 하기 위해서는 제어대상 (plant)의 계규명(system identification)을 정확히 하여야 하는데 해석적으로 계를 규명하기가 까다로운 경우 제어기를 설계하는 것이 사실상 어렵게 되 므로 이러한 경우 실험적인 방법으로 주파수응답함수(frequency response function)를 구해 계의 모형(model)을 구하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 이 분야에 있어서 기존의 논문들은 팔의 변위를 측정하여 진동을 제어하나 이 러한 방법들은 간헐적으로 움직이는 산업장비(예:로보트의 팔)의 과도응답을 제어하기에는 부적합하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 장비들의 과도응답 을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있도록 가속도계를 사용, 가속도를 측정하여 변위 를 제어하고자 한다.

In the multi-pass welding of pressure vessels or ships, the mechanical touch sensor system is generally used together with a manipulator to measure the gap and depth of the narrow gap to perform seam tracking. Unfortunately, such mechanical touch sensors may commit measuring errors caused by the eterioration of the measuring device. An automation system of narrow gap multi-pass welding using a laser vision system which can track the seam line of narrow gap and which can control welding power has been developed. The joint profile of the narrow gap, with 250mm depth and 28mm width, can be captured by laser vision camera. The image is then processed for defining tracking positions of the torch during welding. Then, the real-time correction of lateral and vertical position of the torch can be done by the laser vision system. The adaptive control of welding conditions like welding Currents and welding speeds, can also be performed by the laser vision system, which cannot be done by conventional mechanical touch systems. The developed automation system will be adopted to reduce the idle time of welders, which happens frequently in conventional long welding processes, and to improve the reliability of the weld quality as well.
