This paper proposes functional test methods of first-aid gadgets which are special end-effectors, for relief robot. In recent years, researches have been actively conducted on robots that can perform rescue operations on behalf of rescue workers in dangerous areas such as disasters and wars. These special robots mainly perform the task of finding or transporting injured people. However, it is sometimes they necessary to provide first aid in the field. Among the various first-aid operations, gadgets are being developed for oxygen supply, injection, and hemostasis operations that can be used in a defense/civilian area by using robot technology. Previous studies have proposed first-aid gadgets that are suitable for onsite situations and enable robots to perform the given task quickly and accurately. In this paper, we design a test procedure suitable for the functions of first-aid gadgets, summarize the results, and introduce future research directions.

본 논문에서는 여유 자유도를 이용한 두 팔 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 충돌 회피 알고리즘을 제안한다. 여유 자유도를 갖는 각 로봇 팔의 엔드-이펙터는 서로의 충돌을 회피하면서 주어진 작업을 수행하기 위하여 각각 미리 정의된 직선 경로를 따라 이동해야 한다. 이 문제를 풀기 위해서 엔드-이펙터의 위치와 방향을 변화시키지 않는 각 축의 동작인 자체동작을 이용한다. 매 샘플링 시간마다 각 팔의 링크들이 서로 멀어지는 방향으로 자체 동작을 수행함으로써 엔드-이펙터가 주어진 작업도 성공적으로 수행하고, 동시에 서로의 충돌도 회피할 수 있다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 각각 9자유도의 팔을 갖는 두 팔 로봇 매니퓰레이터에 대한 모의실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 제시한다.

The inverse kinematics problem of a reclaimer which excavates and transports raw materials in a raw yard is investigated. Because of the geometric feature of the equipment in which scooping buckets are attached around the rotating disk, kinematic redundancy occurs in determining joint variable. Link coordinates are introduced following the Denavit-Hartenbery representation. For a given excavation point the forward kinematics yields 3 equations, however the number of involved joint variables in the equations is four. It is shown that the rotating disk at the end of the boom provides an extra passive degree of freedom. Two approaches are investigated in obtaining inverse kinematics solutions. The first method pre-assigns the height of excavation point which can be determined through path planning. A closed form solution is obtained for the first approach. The second method exploits the orthogonality between the normal vector at the excavation point and the z axis of the end-effector coordinate system. The geometry near the reclaiming point has been approximated as a plane, and the plane equation has been obtained by the least square method considering 8 adjacent points near the point. A closed form solution is not found for the second approach, however a linear approximate solution is provided.

A haptic device operated by the user's hand can receive information on position and orientation of the hand and display force and moment generated in the virtual environment to the hand. For realistic haptic display, the detailed information on collision between objects is necessary. In the past, the point-based graphic environment has been used in which the end effector of a haptic device was represented as a point and the interaction of this point with the virtual environment was investigated. In this paper, the shape-based graphic environment is proposed in which the interaction of the shape with the environment is considered to analyze collision or contact more accurately. To this end. the so-called Gilbert-Johnson-Keerthi (GJK) algorithm is adopted to compute collision points and collision instants between two shapes in the 3-D space. The 5- DOF haptic hand controller is used with the GJK algorithm to demonstrate a peg-in-hole operation in the virtual environment in conjunction with a haptic device. It is shown from various experiments that the shape-based representation with the GJK algorithm can provide more realistic haptic display for peg-in-hole operations.

This paper concerns the design and application of an electro-rheological (ER) fluid damper to semiactive vibration control of rotor systems. In particular, the system under present study is constructed structurally flexible in order to explore multiple critical speeds within operation range. To this end, the dynamic models of the proposed ER damper and its associated amplifier are derived in the first place. Subsequently entire rotor system model is assembled along with the dynamics of the end effector based on a finite element method enabling prediction as to its free and forced vibration characteristics. Next, an artificial intelligent (AI) feedback controller is synthesized taking into account the peculiarity of Coulomb damping effect in rotor applications. Finally, computational and experimental results are presented including model validation and control performances. In practice, such an AI control proved effective whether the spin speed was either before or after critical speeds.

For an increased level of productivity, it is important that the end-point of a robot manipulator moves from an initial location to final position in the minimum time subject to the available maximum actuator's torque (or force) at each joints. The main issue is to develop an algorithm to compute the actuators in real-time. In this paper, a digital state feedback control algorithm has bean developed to obtain the near-minimum-time trajectory for the end-effector of a robot manipulator. In this algorithm, the poles of the linearized closed loop system are judiciously placed in the Z-plane to permit minimum-time response without violating the constraints on the actuator torques. The validity of this algorithm have been established using numerical simulations. A three-link manipulator in chosen for this purpose and results are discussed for three different combinations of initial and final station.

This study solves the inverse kinematics problem of industrial FANUC robot. Because every joint angle of FANUC robot is dependent on the position of end-effector and the direction of approach vector, arm metrix T6 is very complicated and each joint angle is a function of other joint angles. Therefore, the inverse kinematics problem can not be solved by conventional methods. Noticing the fact that if one joint angle is known, the other joint angles are calculated by the algebraic methods. $ heta$1 is calculated using neumerical analysis method, and solves inverse kinematics problem. This proposed method, in this study, is more simpler and faster than conventional methods and is very useful in the real-time control of the manipulator.

본 논문은 작업공간상에서 로봇 운동과 힘의 통합제어를 구현할 수 있는 플랫폼의 구현에 초점을 두고 있다. 조립 또는 디버링 같은 접촉작업에서의 매니플레이터 효율성 제고나 친 인간 환경에서의 휴머노이드 로봇의 안정성을 위해서는 종래의 PID 제어나 관절공간상에서의 CTM(Computed Torque Method) 제어보다는 작업공간상에서의 운동과 힘의 통합제어를 실시해야 한다. 이것을 위해서는 작업공간상에서의 엔드이펙트(end-effector, E-E)에 대한 동역학식과 자코비안(jacobian)을 도출해야 하며 이를 위해서는 각종 동적파라미터의 정확한 동정이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 3D CAD 모델링, MATLAB, 동역학 시뮬레이터를 활용하여 로봇 모델링, 동역학식과 동적 파라미터 추출, 운동과 힘의 실시간 통합제어 시뮬레이션등을 쉽고 일관되게 진행할 수 있는 플랫폼을 구현하였고 적용예로써 JS-10로봇을 택해서 그 효용성을 입증하였다.

An impedance control approach based on an extended task space formulation is addressed to control the kinematically redundant manipulators. Defining a weighted inner product in joint space, a minimal parametrization of the null space can be achieved and we can visualize the null space motion explicitly. Based on this formulation, we propose a control method called inertially decoupled impedance controller to control the motion of the end-effector as well as the internal motion expanding the conventional impedance control. Some numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control method.

Multi-arm cooperation robot system is required for more specific and dextrous jobs such as transferring very large or heavy objects, or grasping work piece while processing on it. There is little research on 3-dimensional multi-arm robot. Here we propose two performance indices presenting isotropy of end-effector's acceleration and velocity capabilities with constraints of joint torques, that is Isotropic Acceleration Radius [IAR] and Isotropic Velocity Radius [IVRI. Also the procedure to find 3-dimensional IAR, IVR is proposed, where available acceleration set concept is used. The case of 3-dimensional two 3 joint robot system was simulated and the distributions of IAR, IVR was studied.
