Redundant actuated parallel kinematic machines (PKMs) have been widely researched to increase stiffness of PKMs. This paper presents theoretical analyses on the stiffness of non-redundant and redundant actuated PKM. Stiffness of each mechanism is defined by summation of actuator and structural stiffness; the actuator stiffness is determined from displacements of actuators, and the structural stiffness is determined from deformations of links by external forces. Calculated actuator and structural stiffness of non-redundant PKM show same distribution in entire workspace. On the contrary, the actuator and the structural stiffness of a redundant PKM has very different distribution in the workspace; so, we conclude the structural stiffness of redundant PKM should be considered to design the redundant PKM. The results can be used to design and analyze non-redundant and redundant PKMs.

Many human-body motions such as walking, running, jumping, etc. require a significant amount of power. To achieve a high power-to-weight ratio of the humanoid robot system, this paper proposes a new design of the bio-mimetic leg mechanism resembling musculoskeletal system of the human body. The hip joints of the system considered here are powered by 5 human-like bi-and mono-articular muscles, and the joints of knee and ankle are redundantly actuated by both bi-articular muscles and joint actuators. The kinematics for the leg mechanism is derived and a kinematic index to measure force transmission ratio is introduced. It is demonstrated through simulation that incorporation of redundant muscles into the leg mechanism enhances the power of the mechanism approximately 2 times of the minimum actuation.

In this paper, a mask-panel alignment robot system is considered for IT industry applications. Two kinds of solutions are suggested which are required in constructing a control system for the alignment robot with actuation redundancy. First, the kinematic solution for the 4PPR parallel positioning mechanism is formulated for an arbitrary initial posture, which relates the mask-panel misalignment in the task space and the desired actuator displacements in the joint space. Secondly, in order to increase the stiffness of the control motion and also to avoid the mechanical lock which may happen due to the redundant actuation, a new synchronous control method is proposed which has the merit of coordinating joint control motions while not losing individual joint control performance. In addition, the engineering process to develop a visual alignment robot system is described with the results of experimental setup and GUI software. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed alignment system control methodology and how much beneficial it will be in real industrial applications.

본 논문은 선형 전기모터가 유압밸브 스풀(valve spool)을 직접 움직이는 직접구동밸브 (DDV: direct drive valve) 방식 유압서보 엑츄에이터의 제어 및 고장 모니터링에 관한 것이다. 유압서보 구동장치는 밸브 스풀을 통한 유량 흐름 특성으로 인하여 비선형 운동 특성을 갖게 된다. DDV 구동장치에 관한 비선형 운동 모델을 제시하고, 이를 선형화 시켜 DDV 구동장치의 제어계 및 고장 감지계 설계에 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 단순화된 선형 모델을 제시하였다. 한편, 조종면 구동 엑츄에이터가 만족시켜야 하는 성능 그리고 안전 작동에 관한 요구조건에 대하여 논의한 후, 이를 만족시키기 위한 제어계 및 고장 감지계의 구조에 대한 논의를 한다. 3중의 다중화 구조를 갖는 유압 DDV 구동장치의 운동 특성을 해석할 수 있는 수치해석 모델이 개발되었다.

본 논문은 유압 공급 면에서는 2중으로 전기제어 면에서는 3중으로 다중화된 DDV 구동장치에 대한 구동전류 고장 모니터 설계에 관한 논문이다. 다중화된 신호들 가운데 어느 한 채널에 고장이 발생한다면, 이 신호는 정확히 감지되어야 하고, 시기적절하게 제거되어야 하며, 남겨진 정상채널들은 그 기능이 재조정되어야 한다. 조종면 구동장치의 고장 모니터 설계는 비행체 역학, 비행제어법칙, 그리고 유압 구동장치 운동특성이 모두 고려된 통합적 관점에서 수행되어야 한다. MIL-F-8785C에서 규정하고 있는 고장에 따른 비행체 천이 응답 요구조건으로부터 조종면 구동장치의 고장이탈 한계를 결정하는 설계 방법이 제시되었다.

This paper presents the modulation of the dexterity of a parallel manipulator using joint freezing/releasing and joint unactuation/actuation. In this paper, individual limbs have redundant number of joints, and each joint can be frozen/released and unactuated/actuated, as needed. First, given a task, the restrictions on joint freezing and joint unactuation of a parallel manipulator are derived. Next, with/without joint freezing and/or joint unactuation, the kinematics of a parallel manipulator is formulated, based on which the manipulability ellipsoid is defined. The effects of joint freezing and joint unactuation on the manipulability are analyzed and compared. Finally, simulation results for a planar parallel manipulator are given. Joint mechanisms, such as joint freezing and joint unactuation, are rather simple to adopt into a parallel manipulator, but is quite effective to improve the task adaptability of the system.

Cooperation and collaboration with robots are key functions of robotic utility that are currently developing. Thus, robots should be safe and resemble human beings to cope with these needs. In particular, dual-arm robots that mimic human kinetics are becoming the focus of recent industrial robotics research. Their size is similar to the size of a human adult; however, they lack natural, human-like motion. One of the critical reasons for this is the shoulder complex. Most recent dual-arm robots have only 2 degrees of freedoms (DOFs), which significantly limits the workspace and mobility of the shoulders and arms. Therefore, a redundant shoulder complex could be very important in new developments that enable new capabilities. However, constructing a kinematically redundant shoulder complex is difficult because of spatial constraints. Therefore, we propose a novel, redundant shoulder complex for a human-like robot that is driven by flexible wire tendons. This kinematically redundant shoulder complex allows human-like robots to move more naturally because of redundant DOFs. To control the proposed shoulder complex, a hybrid control scheme is used. The positioning precision has also been considered, and the ability of the shoulder complex to perform several human-like motions has been verified.

It is known that parallel-type mechanisms have many singularities than serial-type mechanisms. In haptic application, these singularities deteriorate the system performance when the haptic system displays the reflecting force. Moreover, different from general manipulators, haptic systems can't avoid the singular point because they are operated by user's random motion command. Although many singularity-free algorithms for serial mechanisms have been proposed and studied. singularity-free algorithms for parallel haptic application have not been deeply discussed. In this paper, various singularity-free algorithms, which are appropriate to parallel haptic system, will be discussedand evaluated.

Passive Haptic Devices have more benefit than the active in Stability. But Apart from benefits, it shows poor performance in haptic display. The author proposed the passive FME(Force Manipulability Ellipsoid) which can graphically show force generating ability of a passive haptic device. In this paper, performance indexes for the force approximation and pseudo friction cone are obtained with the passive FME and an optimized planar device with the indexes is proposed. Based on the above theory, experiment is conducted.

Polypyrrole-Gold (PPy/Au) segment nanowires are prepared using anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) templates and assembled into a curved superstructure. Since the shape of the obtained superstructures can be designed to be capsule-like with inner space for containing materials, and their openings and closures can be controlled with external stimuli, these structures can be useful for a large variety of applications. Inner space of capsule-like superstructures is an important factor for their applications, and the volume of the inner space can be assessed using the generalized equation suggested by J. K. Lim (Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 33, 2699 (2012)). In this paper, we introduce a new approach to obtain correct and simplified equation without redundant assumption which was used to induce the previous equations, and recalculate the volume of the inner space in the capsule-like superstructure using a new equation.
