In this paper, important design parameters for parallel kinematic robots are defined, paying special attention to machining errors which may cause kinematic errors at the end effector of a robot. The kinematic effects caused by each design parameter, as well as their upper/lower limits, are analyzed here. To do so, we have developed a novel software program to compute kinematic errors by considering its defined design parameters. With this program, roboticists designing parallel kinematic robots can understand the important design parameters for which upper/lower allowances have to be strictly controlled in the design process. This tactic can be used for the design of high-speed, parallel kinematic robots to reduce the design/manufacturing costs and increase kinematic precision.

This paper describes dynamic manipulability analysis of robotic arms moving in viscous fluid. The manipulability is a functionality of manipulator system in a given configuration under the limits of joint ability with respect to the task required to be performed. To investigate the manipulability of underwater robotic arms, a modeling and analysis method is presented. The dynamic equation of motion of underwater manipulator is derived based on the Lagrange-Euler equation considering with the hydrodynamic forces caused by added mass, buoyancy and hydraulic drag. The hydrodynamic drag term in the equation is established as analytical form using Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) link coordination of manipulator. Two analytical approaches based oil manipulability ellipsoid are presented to visualize the manipulability of robotic arm moving in viscous fluid. The one is scaled ellipsoid which transforms the boundary of joint torque to acceleration boundary of end-effector by normalizing the torques in joint space, while the other is shifted ellipsoid which depicts total acceleration boundary of end-effector by shifting the ellipsoid as much as gravity and velocity dependent forces in work space. An analysis example of 2-link manipulator with proposed analysis scheme is presented to validate the method.

This paper proposes a calibration algorithm for a three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) planar cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR). To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we calibrated winches and an optical tracking sensor, measured the end-effector pose using the optical tracking sensor, and calculated the accurate robot configuration using the measurement information. To conduct an accuracy test on the end-effector pose, we followed guidelines from "Manipulating industrial robots - Performance criteria and related test methods." Through the test, it is verified that the position accuracy can be improved by up to 20% for a $2m{\times}2m$-sized planar cable robot using the proposed calibration algorithm.

Industrial manipulators have been mostly used in large companies such as automakers and electronics companies. In recent years, however, demands for industrial manipulators from small and medium-sized enterprises are on the increase because of shortage of manpower and high wages. Since these companies cannot hire robot engineers for operation and programming of a robot, intuitive teaching and playback techniques of a robot manipulator should replace the robot programming which requires substantial knowledge of a robot. This paper proposes an intuitive teaching and playback algorithm used in assembly tasks. An operator can directly teach the robot by grasping the end-effector and moving it to the desired point in the teaching phase. The 6 axis force/torque sensor attached to the manipulator end-effector is used to sense the human intention in teaching the robot. After this teaching phase, a robot can track the target position or trajectory accurately in the playback phase. When the robot contacts the environment during the teaching and playback phases, impedance control is conducted to make the contact task stable. Peg-in-hole experiments are selected to validate the proposed algorithm since this task can describe the important features of various assembly tasks which require both accurate position and force control. It is shown that the proposed teaching and playback algorithm provides high positioning accuracy and stable contact tasks.

본 논문에서는 외란이나 시스템의 파라미터 변동 및 불확실성 등이 존재하는 자동화 설비시스템을 강인하고 정밀하게 제어할 수 있도록 하기 위해 동적 신경망 처리기(DNP)인 신경망 제어기를 설계하였다. 자동화 설비시스템에서 부품의 조립, 가공 등 복잡하고 정교한 임무를 수행시키기 위해서는 end-effector의 이동경로 궤적에 대한 추적제어 뿐만 아니라 목표물에 대하여 접촉하는 힘의 궤적에 대한 추적 제어가 필수적이다. 또한 자동화 설비시스템에서 플랜트의 역기구학적인 좌표변환을 계산하기 위한 학습구조를 개발하였으며, DNP가 이용될 수 있는 예를 설명하였다. 제안된 동적 신경망인 DNP의 구조와 학습 알고리즘을 제시하고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 학습 성능을 증명하였다.

This paper focuses on the vibration analysis of planar cable-driven parallel robots on their configurations. Despite of many advantages of the cable robots, elasticity of the cables may cause the vibration at the existence of external disturbance, resulting in deterioration of positioning accuracy. According to the vibration theory, having high first order natural frequency can prevent resonance with low frequency disturbance from the surrounding environment. A series of simulations showed that choosing frame / end-effector shape and cable connection method affects robots' natural frequency. For the precise simulation, the cables are modeled as linear springs and axial vibration of cables is mainly considered. Aspect ratios of the frame and end-effector are defined as non-dimensional parameters while their areas are fixed. It was shown that vibration analysis guides to design a planar cable robot in terms of high capacity to reduce vibration.

There is a risk of serious injury to workers who work at height in pier construction process. By using auto climbing formwork system that does not need to dismantle and reinstall formworks, it is possible to improve work efficiency and safety of workers. However, auto climbing formwork system still requires workers to work on a pier for rebar connection works and so on. In order to eliminate works by workers on the pier, robot manipulators with special end effectors are proposed. Through analysis of works on the pier, three specialized end effectors which are a gripper, a rebar coupler press, and a concrete vibrator, are suggested. Also, new pier construction scenario by the suggested system is confirmed using 3d modeling. It is expected that the proposed system and method enables pier construction without workers on piers. It will increase safety and efficiency of pier construction.

In general there are many degrees of freedom(DOFs) in industrial robots. So they have many poses of several special end-effectors positions and orientations. For that reason, industrial robots are used in a wide scope of industrial applica-tions such as welding, spray painting, deburring, and so on. In this research, an off-line continuous path planning method based on linear interpolation with parabolic blend is developed. The method safely maintains the constant orientation for base frame and end-effectors path within allowable error and minimizes the number of segments in path. This algorithm may apply to welding and painting in which the orientation is particularly significant. The simulation study of cartesian curve is carried out to show the performance of this algorithm.

A manipulator system that needs significantly large workspace volume and high payload capacity has greater link flexibility than typical industrial robots and teleoperators. If link flexibility is significant, position control of the manipulator's end-effector exhibits the nonminimum phase, noncollocated, and flexible structure system control problems. This paper addresses inverse dynamic trajectory planning issues of a flexible manipulator. The inverse dynamic equation of a flexible manipulator was solved in the time domain. By dividing the inverse system equation into the causal part and the anticausal part, the inverse dynamic method calculates the feedforward torque and the trajectories of all state variables that do not excite structural vibrations for a given end-point trajectory. Through simulation and experiment with a single-Unk flexible manipulator, the effectiveness of the inverse dynamic method has been demonstrated.

도로면 크랙실링 공법은 도로면에 발생된 크랙을 초기에 효과적으로 보수할 수 있으므로 도로면 유지보수 공법의 하나로 폭넓게 활용되고 있다. 그러나 재래식 크랙실링 공법은 도로상에서 작업이 수행되므로 매우 위험하고, 노동 집약적이며, 노무자의 숙련도에 의해 작업 품질 및 생산성에 큰 영향을 받는 문제점이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 국내외에서는 재래식 크랙실링 공법을 자동화하기 위해 다양한 형태의 자동화 장비를 개발해 오고 있으나 실용화 실적은 매우 제한적인 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 기존에 개발된 크랙실링 자동화 장비의 작업 대상 크랙이 한정적이며, 실작업 영역이 좁아 작업 생산성이 낮고, 말단장치의 성능이 현장 요구수준을 만족시키지 못했기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재래식 크랙실링 공법 및 기존에 연구 개발된 도로면 크랙실링 자동화 장비 개발 현황 분석을 통해 국내 건설 환경에 적합한 도로면 크랙실링 자동화 장비 개발을 위한 고려사항을 도출하고, 도로면 크랙실링 자동화 장비 구성 요소 중 크랙실링 작업 공간 이동을 위한 핵심 하드웨어 기술인 본체 프레임(머니퓰레이터)과 공기 분사, 실런트 분사 및 압지 작업을 수행할 수 있는 말단장치에 대해 상세설계 및 하드웨어 제작을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제안된 도로면 크랙실링 자동화 장비 본체 프레임과 말단장치는 기존 시스템이 가지고 있는 문제점을 해결할 수 있고, 국내 도로 상황과 규정에 부합되도록 설계 및 제작되어 크랙실링 자동화 장비의 실용화 가능성과 범용성을 제고할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
