Uncertain dynamic parameters and joint flexibility have been problem to control robot manipulator precisely. Hence, even if the controller tracks the desired trajectory well with the feedback of the motor encoders, it is hard to achieve the desired behavior at the end-effector. In this paper, robot trajectory is taught by a general heuristic iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm in order to reduce tracking error of the tool center point (TCP) and the results of tracking with 6 DOF industrial robot manipulator are presented. The performance is verified based on ISO 9283.

This paper presents an overview of automated robotic system for skull drilling, which is performed to access for some neurosurgical interventions, such as brain tumor resection. Currently surgeons use automatic-releasing cranial perforators. The drilling procedure must be performed very carefully to avoid penetration of brain nerve structures; however failure cases are reported. The presented prototype system utilizes both preoperative and intraoperative information. Preoperative CT image is used for robot path planning. A NeuroMate robot with a six-DOF force sensor at the end effector is used for intraoperative operation. Intraoperative cutting force from the force sensor is the key information to revise an initial registration and preoperative path plans. Some possibilities are verified by path simulation but cadaver experiments are required for validation of this prototype.

In this paper, a compliance control strategy for robot manipulators that employs a self-adjusting stiffiness function is proposed. Based on the contact force, each entry of the diagonal stiffness matrix corresponding to a task coordinate in the operational space is adaptively adjusted during contact along the corresponding axis. The proposed method can be used for both the unconstrained and constrained motions without any switching mechanism which often causes undesirable instability and/or vibrational motion of the end-effector. The experimental results involving a two-link direct drive manipulator interacting with an unknown environment demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

농업에서 소요되는 노동력 중에서 가장 많은 비중을 차지하고 있는 것이 수확작업이다. 수확작업은 어렵고 힘든 지루한 작업이 반복적으로 수행되는 작업이다. 지상 1m내외에서 결과하는 과채류의 경우 수확 중 많은 노동력을 필요로 한다. 특히 과채류 수확은 연속된 단순 반복 작업으로 작업인의 피로도가 더욱 심화되는 실정으로 재배에 많은 어려움을 낳고 있다. 또한 농산물 수입개방으로 값싼 외국산농산물이 대량 유입되고 있는 실정으로 농산물의 생산비 절감을 통한 대외 경쟁력을 갖추기 위해서는 과채류 수확에 있어서 로봇의 엔드이펙터를 이용하여 수확하는 것이 필요한 실정이다. 그러므로 로봇 수확기의 개발에 있어서 중요한 요소 중 하나인 엔드이펙터 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 세가지 형태의 엔드이펙터를 설계 제작하여 실험을 통하여 비교 분석 후 최적의 엔드이펙터를 개발하였다.

This paper presents a task teaching method for off-line programming of a multi-robot system. Teaching commands were developed in order to simplify a complex teaching process, to shorten the setup time for new working environment and to have flexibility for changes in working environment. Four teaching commands can be used to automatically generate trajectories of an end-effector of the robot in electronics assembly line. The robots used in the work cell are a four-axis SCARA robot and six-axis articulated robot. Each robot is controlled in a independent way while objects, working environment and robots are modeled in corresponding modules, respectively. The off- line programming system developed uses OpenGL for a smooth graphic effect in Window s where three dimensional CAD data can be leaded for graphical modeling.

It is the main problem to measure the position and orientation of a robot end effector for the calibration of robots. The calibration methods can be used as a tool to improve the accuracy of robots without change of the arm or control architecture of robots. But such calibration methods require the accurate measurements. Dynamic measurement of position and orientation Provides a solution of this problem and improves dynamic accuracy by dynamic calibration o( robots. This paper describes the development o( the laser tracking system capable of determining the static and dynamic performance of industrial robots. The structure and system components are presented and basic experimental results are included to demonstrate the instrument performance. The system can be applied to the remote controlled mobile robots as weil as the calibration of robots.

A 3-D rehabilitation robot system is developed in this paper. The robot system is for the rehabilitation of upper extremities, especially the shoulder and elbow joints, and has 3-D workspace for enabling occupational therapy to recover physical functions in activities of daily living(ADL). The rehabilitation robot system, which is driven by actuators, has 1 DOF in horizontal rotational motion and 2 DOF in vertical rotational motion, where all actuators are set on the ground. Parallelogram linkage mechanisms lower the equivalent inertia of the control elements as well as control forces. Also the mechanisms have high mechanical rigidity for the end effector and the handle. Passive motion mode experiments have been performed to evaluate the proposed robot system. The results of the experiments show and excellent performance in simulating spasticity of patients.

In designing and evaluating manipulators, itis important to understand the capability of kinematic and static performances. Both workspace and manipulability can be considered as such performance measures. In general, the measure of manipulability is related to the kinematics for serial type manipulators. However.in case of parallel manipulators such as Stewart Platform, the manipulability can be interpreted as the static capability of transforming the input forces of actuators to the wrench of the end-effector. In this paper, the mathematical and physical meanings of manipulability suggested in some research works have been examined, and more meaningful measure of manipulability using the absolute minimum eigenvalues of J $^{T}$ .del. J has been suggested, which has been applied to a Stewart Platform in order to investigate the manipulability of this mechanism..

A glass transfer robot is used for handling LCDs in the production line of flat panel displays under clean environments. During glass transfer operations of the robot, chattering phenomenon occurs at the robot hand. This deteriorates the accuracy and repeatability of the end-effector of the robot. In this paper, we present the kinematic solution of the robot and then analyze the cause of this chattering phenomenon in view of the mechanism and servo control and propose a practical solution that can reduce the chattering significantly at the robot hand of the glass transfer robot.
