This paper studies the decentralized position/force control problem for constrained reconfigurable manipulator without torque sensing. A novel joint torque estimation scheme that exploits the existing structural elasticity of the manipulator joint with harmonic drive model is applied for each joint module. Based on the estimated joint torque and dynamic output feedback technique, a decentralized position/force control strategy is presented. In order to solve the problem of controller parameter perturbation, the non-fragile robust technique is introduced into the dynamic output feedback controller. Subsequently, the stability of the closed-loop system is proved using the Lyapunov theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. Finally, two 2-DOF constrained reconfigurable manipulators with different configurations are applied to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme in numerical simulation.

The constrained motion requires the determination of constraint force acting on unconstrained systems for satisfying given constraints. Most of the methods to decide the force depend on numerical approaches such that the Lagrange multiplier method, and the other methods need vector analysis or complicated intermediate process. In 1992, Udwadia and Kalaba presented the generalized inverse method to describe the constrained motion as well as to calculate the constraint force. The generalized inverse method has the advantages which do not require any linearization process for the control of nonlinear systems and can explicitly describe the motion of holonomically and/or nongolonomically constrained systems. In this paper, an explicit equation to describe the constrained motion is derived by minimizing the performance index, which is a function of constraint force vector, with respect to the constraint force. At this time, it is shown that the positive-definite weighting matrix in the performance index must be the inverse of mass matrix on the basis of the Gauss's principle and the derived differential equation coincides with the generalized inverse method. The effectiveness of this method is illustrated by means of two numerical applications.

This paper deals with a hybrid position/force control of a robot which is moving on the constrained object with constant force. The proposed controller is composed of a position and force controller. The position controller has a nonlinear compensator which is based on the dynamic robot model and the force controller is attached by feedforward element. A direct drive robot with hard nonlinearity which is controlled by the proposed algorithm has moved on the constrained object with a high stiffness and low stiffness. The results show that the proposed controller has more vibration suppression effects which is occurred to the constrained object with a high stiffness, than a existing feedback controller, and accurate force control can be obtained by comparatively a small feedback gain.

In a link-motion mechanism, numerous links are interconnected and each link executes a constrained motion at a high speed. Due to the complicated constrained motions of the constituent links, dynamic unbalance forces and moments are generated and transmitted to the main frame. Therefore unwanted vibration is produced. This degrades productivity and precise work. Based on constrained multi-body dynamics, the kinematic analysis is carried out to enable design changes to be made. This will provide the fundamental information for significantly reducing dynamic unbalance forces and moments which are transmitted to the main frame. In this work, a link-motion punch press is selected as an example of a link-motion mechanism. To calculate the mass and inertia properties of every link comprising a link-motion punch press, 3-dimensional CAD software is utilized. The main issue in this work is to eliminate the first-order unbalance force and moment in a link-motion punch press. The mass, moment of inertia link length, location of the mass center in each link have a great impact on the degree of dynamic balancing which can be achieved maximally. Achieving good dynamic balancing in a link motion punch press is quite essential fur reliable operation at high speed.

In this paper, we propose a new motion and force control methodology for constrained robots as an approach of hybrid discrete-continuous dynamical system. The hybrid dynamic system modeling of robotic manipulation tasks with constraints is presented, and the hybrid system control architecture for unconstrained and constrained motion system with parametric uncertainties is synthesized. The optimal reference stiffness of robot manipulator is generated by the hybrid automata as a discrete state system and the control behavior of constrained system which has poor modeling information and time-varying constraint function is improved by the constrained robots as a continuous state system. The performance of the proposed constrained motion control system is successfully evaluated via experimental studies to the constraint tasks.

In this study, position tracking and force reflection control of a master-slave manipulator which will be used for handling objects contaminated by radioactivity has been addressed. Since available measurements concerning on dynamic motion of the master-slave manipulator are restricted, a simple constrained control structure was suggested. In the consideration of the uncertain dynamic behaviors of the slave manipulator which is dependent upon mass and shape of work pieces grasped and dynamic properties of the environment contacted, a simple structured sliding mode control was suggested to guarantee robustness with respect to parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed control was applied to a 1-DOF master-slave link system. The control performances were verified along with some computer simulation results.

Starting from the quadratic optimal control algorithm, this study obtains the relation of the performance index for constrained systems and Gauss's principle. And minimizing a function of the variation in kinetic energy at constrained and unconstrained states with respect to the velocity variation, the dynamic equation is derived and it is shown that the result compares with the generalized inverse method proposed by Udwadia and Kalaba. It is investigated that the responses of a 10-story building are constrained by the installation of a two-bar structure as an application to utilize the derived equations. The structural responses are affected by various factors like the length of each bar, damping, stiffness of the bar structure, and the junction positions of two structures. Under an assumption that the bars have the same mass density, this study determines the junction positions to minimize the total dynamic responses of the structure.

A method for the dynamic analysis of multibody systems undertaking impulsive force is introduced in this paper. A partial velocity matrix based on Kane's method is introduced to reduce the number of equations to be solved. Only minimum number of equations of motion can be obtained by using the partial velocity matrix. This reduces the computational effort significantly to obtain the dynamic response of the system. At the very moment of the impulse, instead of using the numerical integrator to solve the equations of motion, the impulse and momentum principle is used to obtain the dynamic response. The impulse as wall as the reaction force acting on the kinematic joints can easily calculated too.

본 연구에서는 부유식 해상 풍력 발전기의 로터 축과 타워 상단에 작용하는 동적 하중을 계산하였다. 부유식 해상 풍력 발전기는 부유식 플랫폼, 타워, 낫셀, 허브, 그리고 3개의 블레이드로 구성되어 있는 다물체계 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 이들 모두를 각각 6 자유도를 갖는 강체로 가정하였다. 부유식 해상 풍력 발전기의 타워는 플랫폼에 고정되어 있고, 3개의 블레이드는 허브에 고정되어 있다. 낫셀은 타워의 상부에 회전 관절로 연결되어 있으며, 블레이드와 허브로 구성된 로터는 낫셀과 회전 관절로 연결되어 있다. 본 연구에서 부유식 풍력 발전기의 운동 방정식은 다물체계 동역학을 기반으로 한 운동방정식 구성 방법 중 하나인 recursive formulation을 이용하여 구성하였다. 외력으로는 부유식 플랫폼에 작용하는 비선형 유체 정역학 힘과 선형 유체 동역학적 힘 그리고 계류력을 고려하였고, 블레이드에 작용하는 풍력을 고려하였다. 이와 같이 구성한 운동 방정식을 해를 구하여 풍력 발전기를 구성하고 있는 각 요소들의 각 연결 부위에 작용하고 있는 구속력을 계산하였다. 그 결과, 동적 상태에서 풍력 발전기에 작용하는 하중은 정적 상태에서 풍력 발전기에 작용하는 하중보다 큰 것을 알 수 있으며, 따라서 부유식 풍력 발전기의 구조해석의 입력 값으로서 정적 하중보다 동적 하중을 고려하는 것이 더 엄격한 해석 기준이라고 할 수 있다.

Mobile wheeled robots are nonholonomically constrained systems. Generally, it is very difficult to describe the motion of mechanical systems with nonintegrable nonholonomic constraints. An objective of this study is to describe the motion of a robot with a free wheel. The motion of holonomically and/or nonholonomically constrained system can be simply determined by Generalized Inverse Method presented by Udwadia and Kalaba in 1992. Using the method, we describe the exact motion of the robot and determine the constraint force exerted on the robot for satisfying constraints imposed on it. The application illustrates the ease with which the Generalized Inverse Method can be utilized for the purpose of control of nonlinear system without depending on any linearization, maintaining precision tracking motion and explicit determination of control forces of nonholonomically constrained system.
