In this paper, an implementation of force control for a slave mobile robot in tele-operation environment is presented. A mobile robot is built to have a force control capability with a force sensor and tested for force tracking control performances. Both position and contact force are regulated by a PID based hybrid control method and the impedance force control method. To minimize accumulated errors due to the adaptive impedance force control method, the novel force control method with a weighted function is proposed. Experimental studies of regulating contact forces for different control algorithms are tested and their performances are compared.

재난구조 로봇은 각종 재난상황에 투입되는 로봇으로써 현재의 로봇에 탑재된 카메라 영상 정보만으로 로봇 주변의 환경을 인식하여 작업을 수행하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 카메라 영상에 의한 시각정보 이외에 현장의 로봇과 주변환경의 접촉에 의해 발생하는 반발력을 조작자에게 전달하여 실감형 환경인지가 가능하도록 하는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 조작자에게 다양한 형태의 반발력을 전달할 수 있도록 인체 착용형 로봇인 외골격 로봇을 master 로봇으로 사용하였고, 14 자유도를 가지는 slave 로봇을 원격제어 하여 작업물 조작시의 힘 반향이 조작자에게 전달되도록 제어되고 있음을 확인하였다.

Teleoperation is defined with a master device that gives control command and a slave robot in a remote site. In this field, it is common that a human operator executes and experiences teleoperation with a virtual slave, and preliminary learns dynamic characteristic and network environment from both agents. Generally, a virtual slave has neglected forward dynamics and its kinematic model has been implemented in computer graphics. This makes a operator to experience actual feelings. This paper proposes a dynamic teleoperation model in which a robotic forward model is applied. Also, a novel compensation method is proposed to reduce the numerical error problems in forward dynamics caused by low control sampling rate. Finally, its results will be compared to the teleoperation in an actual environment.

A telemanipulator that reflects grasping force of the slave gripper to the human operator was implemented in order for manipulation to be more delicate and safe. An industrial robot gripper was used as the slave manipulator. The master manipulator was constructed to make it easy for a human operator to direct the slave and to feel the reflected gripping force. Reflected force was generated by the servomotor of the master. The force signal and position signals of the master and the slave was used to generate driving force signal. Basically position-position type control was used. Miner force feedback is added to improve the performance of the system. Implemented system was tested by colliding two fingers of the slave manipulator, and here switching was used to archive more fast and easy manipulation.

This paper describes a robotic teleoperation system to perform an accurate needle insertion into a cornea for a separation between the stromal layer and Descemet's membrane during deep anterior lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK). The system can reduce the hand tremor of a surgeon by scaling the input motion, which is the control input of the slave robot. Moreover, we utilize corneal applanation to estimate the insertion depth. The proposed system was validated by performing the layer separation using 25 porcine eyes. The average depth of needle insertion was 742 ± 39.8 ㎛ while the target insertion depth was 750 ㎛. Tremor error was reduced from 402 ± 248 ㎛ in the master device to 28.5 ± 21.0 ㎛ in the slave robot. The rate of complete success, partial success, and failure were 60, 28, and 12%, respectively. The experimental results showed that the proposed system was able to reduce the hand tremor of surgeons and perform precise needle insertion during DALK.

A design method for a teleoperator robot system is presented in this paper. The control system consists of two phases; approach phase and contact one. The end-effector position of the estimated slave robot and the contact force between the end-effector and wall are displayed on the monitors at control site, using which the operator controls the teleoperator system. The approach phase controller is designed using Smith's principle and the contact one designed based upon the structured singular value ${\mu}$ in order to increase the robustness of the system. The uncertainatices such as communication time delay and the variations of system parameters are considered as a muliplicative pertubation. Computer simulations are conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed design method. It is found that desirable control performance, especially in the contact phase, is obtained if the control mode is switched into contact phase when the estimated position of the slave robot end-effector is in front of the wall.

The development of a robot system being able to work instead of human in the hazardous environment have been conducted for many year. In this study, the new design of controllers for the Master-Slave system is discussed. The Master-Slave system, force, velocity and torque signals are communicated between a master and a slave system. the conventional requires the enhancement of characteristics of tactility for minute force, precision signals and mechanical abrasion of loader. It is possible b controlling the viscosity of ERF(Electro-rheological fluid) since it varies with the electric field. Design of controller as well comparison between numerical simulation and experiments as will be presented. Futhermore, current methodology is also applicable to design of tele-surgery

A collision-free trajectory planning algorithm is proposed to optimally coordinate two robots working in a common 3-D workspace. Each link of the two robots is modeled as a line segment and by their motion priority, one of the two robots is chosen as the master and the other the slave. And the one-step-ahead minimum distance between the two robots is computed by moving the master to the next location on its specified trajectory. Then the nominal trajectory of the slave is modified such that the distance between the next locations of the master and the slave must be larger than a prespecified allowable minimum distance. Here the weighted sum of the trajectory error and the joint motions of the slave is minimized by using the linear programming technique under the constraints that joint angle and velocity limits are not violated. To show the validity of the proposed algorithm, a numerical example is illustrated by employing a two dof's and a three dof's planar robots.
