A simplified linearized dynamic equation for the propulsion force generation of an Ostraciiform fish robot with elastically jointed double caudal fins is derived in this paper. The caudal fin is divided into two segments and connected using an elastic joint. The second part of the caudal fin is actuated passively via the elastic joint connection by the actuation of the first part of it. It is demonstrated that the derived equation can be utilized for the design of effective caudal fins because the equation is given as an explicit form with several physical parameters. A simple Ostraciiform fish robot was designed and fabricated using a microprocessor, a servo motor, and acrylic plastics. Through the experiment with the fish robot, it is demonstrated that the propulsion force generated in the experiment matches well with the proposed equation, and the propulsion speed can be greatly improved using the elastically jointed double fins, improving the average speed more than 80%. Through numerical simulation and frequency domain analysis of the derived dynamic equations, it is concluded that the main reason of the performance improvement is resonance between two parts of the caudal fins.

This paper presents a new robot calibration algorithm with joint stiffness parameters for the enhanced positioning accuracy of industrial robot manipulators. This work is towards on-going development of an industrial robot calibration software which is able to identify both the kinematic and non-kinematic robot parameters. In this paper, the conventional kinematic calibration and its important considerations are briefly described first. Then, a new robot calibration algorithm which simultaneously identifies both the kinematic and joint stiffness parameters is presented and explained through a computer simulation with a 2 DOF manipulator. Finally, the developed algorithm is implemented to Hyundai HX165 robot and its resulting improvement of the positioning accuracy is addressed.

The use of robots for painting operations is a powerful alternative as a means for automation and quality improvement. A typical method being used for motion planning of the painting robot is to guide the robot along the desired path : the "lead-through" method. Although this method is simple and has been widely used, it has several drawbacks a) The robot cannot be used during the teaching period, b) A human is exposed to a hostile environment, c) The motions taught are, at best, human's skill level. To deal with the above problems, an integrated robot-trajectory planning scheme is presented. The new scheme takes CAD data describing the shape and geometry of the objects, and outputs an optimal trajectory in the sense of coating thickness and painting time. The purpose of this paper is to investigate theoretical backgrounds for such a scheme including geometric modeling, painting mechanics and robot trajectory planning, and develop algorithms for generating spray gun paths and minimum-time robot trajectories. Future study is to implement these algorithms on an workstation to develop an integrated software system ; ATPS(Automatic Trajectory Planning System) for spray painting robots.

The noise and vibration diagnostic of the industrial robot reducer is ultimately the purpose. We evaluated a noise and vibration tendency of the industrial robot reducer to be made in the outside (RV reducer) through the experiment. Also, we compared the RV reducer to the industrial robot reducer (RD reducer) in the domestic. We measured the noise level with the sound level meter and analyzed the vibration tendency with the waterfall plot. Through the comparison of RV reducer and RD reducer diagnose the industrial robot reducer. We guessed the improvement direction of RD reducer. (The domestic's industrial robot reducer).

The intelligent robot industry is a complex which encompasses all fields of science and technology, and its marketability and industrial impact are remarkable. Major countries in the world have been strengthening their policies to foster the intelligent robot industry, but discussions on liability issues and legal actions that are accompanied by the related big or small accidents are still insufficient. In this study, therefore, the patent law by artificial intelligence robots and the legislation for relevant legal actions at the criminal law level are presented. Patent law legislation by artificial intelligence robots should comply with the followings. First, the electronic human being other than humans ought to be given legal personality, which is the subject of patent infringement. Even if artificial intelligence has legal personality, legal responsibility will be varied depending on the judgment of whether the accident has occurred due to the malfunction of the artificial intelligence itself or due to the human intervention with malicious intention. Second, artificial intelligence as a subject of actors and responsibility should be distinguished strictly; in other words, the injunction is the responsibility of the intelligent robot itself, but the financial repayment is the responsibility of the owner. In the criminal law legislation, regulations for legal punishment of intelligent robot manufacturing companies and manufacturers should be prepared promptly in case of legal violation, by amending the scope of application of Article 47 (Penal Provisions) of the Intelligent Robots Development and Distribution Promotion Act. In this way, joint penal provisions, which can clearly distinguish the responsibilities of the related parties, should be established to contribute to the development of the fourth industrial revolution.

In this paper, we develop a dust detection sensor system capable of identifying types of dust for an improvement of a robot vacuum cleaner. The dust detection sensor system is composed of a set of infra-red sensors: a single transmitter and multiple receivers. Given the fixed amount of light transmitted from the transmitter, the amount of light coming in multiple receiver sensors varies, depending on the type and density of dust that is passing between the transmitter and the receivers. Therefore, the type of dust can be identified by means of observing the change of the amount of light from the receiver sensors. For experiments, we use two types of dust, rice and sesame, and validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The main contribution of this work is the design of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) based ARX-Laguerre proportional-integral observation (PIO) system for fault detection and identification (FDI) in a multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear uncertain dynamical robot manipulators. An ARX-Laguerre method was used in this study to dynamic modeling the robot manipulator in the presence of uncertainty and disturbance. To address the challenges of robustness, fault detection, isolation, and estimation the proposed FPGA-based PI observer was applied to the ARX-Laguerre robot model. The effectiveness and accuracy of FPGA based ARX-Laguerre PIO was tested by first three degrees of the freedom PUMA robot manipulator, yielding 6.3%, 10.73%, and 4.23%, average performance improvement for three types of faults (e.g., actuator fault, sensor faults, and composite fault), respectively.

This paper presents a robust impedance control of high-DOF robot based on disturbance observer(DOB). A novel DOB is derived by considering the residual disturbance caused by the difference between actual disturbance and disturbance decoupling input which utilizes the estimated disturbance. It focuses on the elimination of the residual disturbance and improvement of the control performance as well as the good estimation of disturbances. In the control of high-DOF robot, numerical dynamic model, which is conducted by a software based on dynamics, is utilized because the analytical model of high-DOF robot is difficult to be obtained. The simulation of high-DOF robot with numerical dynamic model is provided to verify the performance of the proposed controller.

In this study, we propose a new method of a fuzzy model and then develop a nonlinear relationship between interaction forces and manipulator position using a fuzzy model. The reliability of the proposed control method is illustrated by simulation and experiments.
