De-manufacturing is an entire process of collecting, disassembling, reusing, refurbishing, recycling, and/or disposing products that are obsolete or un-repairable. Designing the products for inexpensive and efficient disassembly enhances the ease of de-manufacturing. Virtual disassembly addresses the difficulty and the methods to disassemble a product in design stage rather than really disassemble a product at the end of its life cycle. Based on the virtual disassembly analysis results, design will be improved for better assembling/disassembling. This paper presents a systematic virtual disassembly methodology such as disassembly relation modeling, path/sequence automatic generation and evaluation. This paper also presents a new virtual disassembly interface paradigm via virtual reality technology for disassembly simulation in virtual environment.

Nowadays, automatic digging operation of an excavator is a big challenge due to the complexity of digging environment, the hardness of soil and buried obstacles into the ground. In order to achieve the maximum soil bucket volume, this paper introduces a novel engineering model that was developed as a virtual excavator in the design phase. Through this model, the designs of mechanical and control systems for autonomous excavator are executed and modified easily before developing in real testbed. Based on a concept of an autonomous excavation, a mechanical system of excavator was first designed in SOLIDWORKS, and a soil model also was modeled by finite-element analysis in ANSYS, both modeled models were then exported to ADAMS environment to investigate the digging behavior through virtual simulation. An intelligent control strategy was generated in MATLAB/Simulink to control the excavator operation. The simulation results were demonstrated by effectiveness of the proposed excavator robot in testing scenarios with many soil types and obstacles.

The objectives of this research are development of guidance, navigation and control system for RUAV on virtual instrumentation and real flight test. For this research, the system is divided to DAQ (data acquisition) section, actuator section and controller section. And the hardware and software on each sections are realized on LabVIEW base. Waypoint guidance and control of auto flight are realized using PID gain tuning and waypoint vector tracking guidance algorism. For safe flight test, auto/manual switching module isolated from FCS (Flight Control System) is developed. By using the switch module, swift mode change was achieved during emergency flight case. Consequently, a meter level error of flight performance is achieved.

This paper presents a process and operation planning system with an NC code post-processor for effective machining of press dies for production of cars. Based on the machining features, major parts of press dies are categorized into 15 groups and a standard process plan is defined for each group. The standard process plan consists of a series of processes where a process is defined as a group of operations that can be done with one setup. Details such as cutting tools, cutting conditions, and tool paths are decided at the operation planning stage. At the final stage of process and operation planning, the NC code post-processor we developed adjusts feedrates along the tool path to reduce machining time. The adjustment rule is selected based on the metal removal rate estimated by virtually machining with virtual cutting tool.

Rapid and accurate phase synchronization is critical for the reliable control of grid-tied inverters. However, the commonly used software phase-locked loop methods do not always satisfy the need for high-speed and accurate phase synchronization under severe grid imbalance conditions. To address this problem, this study develops a novel open-loop phase locking scheme based on a synchronous reference frame. The proposed scheme is characterized by remarkable response speed, high accuracy, and easy implementation. It comprises three functional cascaded blocks: fast orthogonal signal generation block, fast fundamental-frequency positive sequence component construction block, and fast phase calculation block. The developed virtual orthogonal signal generation method in the first block, which is characterized by noise immunity and high accuracy, can effectively avoid approximation errors and noise amplification in a wide range of sampling frequencies. In the second block, which is the foundation for achieving fast phase synchronization within 3 ms, the fundamental-frequency positive sequence components of unsymmetrical grid voltages can be achieved with the developed orthogonal signal construction strategy and the symmetrical component method. The real-time grid phase can be consequently obtained in the third block, which is free from self-tuning closed-loop control and thus improves the dynamic performance of the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme is adaptive to severe unsymmetrical grid voltages with sudden changes in magnitude, phase, and/or frequency. Moreover, this scheme is able to eliminate phase errors induced by harmonics and random noise. The validity and utility of the proposed scheme are verified by the experimental results.

The POSTECH Hand adopting coupled tendon driven technique with planar two fingers is developed. The hand is designed to emulate principal motions of the human hand which has two and three joints respectively. Its kinematic parameters are determined through a parameter optimizing technique to aim at improving the isotropy of fingertip motions with new criterion functions of design. For the control of the hand, tension and torque control algorithms are developed. Based on the virtual stiffness concept, we develop the stiffness control method of a grasped object with redundant finger mechnism and investigate experimentally.

햅틱인터페이스 기술을 이용하면 가상물체의 형태를 만져보고 느껴볼 수 있다. 물체마다 다른 수학적 마찰력 모델을 적용하여 실감있는 마찰력 표현도 가능하다. 그러나 각 물체에 해당하는 마찰력 모델을 선정하는 것과 적절한 마찰계수 등을 반복적 실험을 통하여 알아내는 것은 쉽지 않다. 실제 물체의 마찰력이 알려진 마찰력 모델과 다르다면 수학적 모델로 표현할 수 없는 경우도 있다. 본 논문에서는 신경회로망 학습을 이용하여 마찰력 모델의 선택이나 마찰계수 등을 정하는 과정 없이 실제 물체의 마찰력을 표현하는 방법을 제시하고 있다. 상용 햅틱인터페이스 장치인 PHANToM 2 대를 이용하여 마찰력 획득 시스템을 구성하고 고무판, 종이 등의 물체 표면에서의 속도와 물체에 작용하는 힘을 획득하여 가공한 데이터를 입력 및 출력으로 갖는 신경회로망을 통해 학습시킨 후 OpenGL로 구현한 가상물체에 적용하여 보았다. Force/Torque 센서를 사용하지 못한 일부 문제가 있었으나 예상보다 사실적인 마찰력을 표현할 수 있었다.
