As an approach to develope a control system with robustness in changing control environment conditions, this paper will propose a robot manipulator control system using multilayer neural network and immune algorithm. The proposed immune algorithm which has the characteristics of immune system such as distributed and anomaly detection, probabilistic detection, learning and memory, consists of the innate immune algorithm and the adaptive immune algorithm. We will demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system with simulations of a 2-link robot manipulator.

We present an algorithm that uses trajectory following errors to improve a feedforward command to a robot in the iterative manner. It has been shown that when the manipulator handles an unknown object, the P-type learning algorithm can make the trajectory converge to a desired path and also that the proposed learning control algorithm performs better than the other type learning control algorithm. A numerical simulation of a three degree of freedom manipulator such as PUMA-560 ROBOT has been performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed learning algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an obstacle avoidance algorithm for a network-based autonomous mobile robot. The obstacle avoidance algorithm is based on the VFH (Vector Field Histogram) algorithm and delay-compensative methods with the VFH algorithm are proposed for the network-based robot that is a unified system composed of distributed environmental sensors, mobile actuators, and the VFH controller. Firstly, the compensated readings of the sensors are used for building the polar histogram of the VFH algorithm. Secondly, a sensory fusion using the Kalman filter is proposed for the localization of the robot to compensate both the delay of the readings of an odometry sensor and the delay of the readings of the environmental sensors. The performance enhancements of the proposed obstacle avoidance algorithm from the viewpoint of efficient path generation and accurate goal positioning are also shown in this paper through some simulation experiments by the Marilou Robotics Studio Simulator.

Palletizing is necessary to promote the efficiency of storage and shipping tasks. These are, however some of the most monotonous, heavy and laborious tasks in the factory. Therefore many types of robot palletizing systems have been developed, but many robot motion commands still depend on the teaching pendent. That is, an operator inputs the motion command lines one by one. It is very troublesome, and most of all, the user must know how to type the code. That is why we propose a new GUI (Graphic User Interface) Palletizing System. To cope with this issue, we proposed a 'PLP' (Pallet Loading Problem) algorithm, Fast Algorithm and realize 3D auto-patterning visualization interface. Finally, we propose the robot palletizing simulator. Internally, the schematic of this simulator is as follows. First, an user inputs the physical information of object. Second, simulator calculates the optimal pattern for the object and visualizes the result. Finally, the calculated position data of object is passed to the robot simulator. To develop the robot simulator, we use an articulated robot, and analyze the kinematics and dynamics. Especially, All problem including thousands of boxes were completely calculated in less than 1 second and resulted in optimal solutions by the Fast Algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a cooperative multi-robot control algorithm. Specifically, the cooperative task is that two mobile robots should transfer a long rigid object along a predefined path. To resolve the problem, we introduce the master-slave concept for two mobile robots, which have the same structure. According to the velocity of the master robot and the positions of two robots on the path, the velocity of the slave robot is determined. In case that the robots can't move further, the role of the robot is interchanged. The effectiveness of this decentralized algorithm is proved by computer simulations.

This paper focuses on planning strategies for object interception by the robotic manipulator on a conveyor system in minimum time. The goal is that the robot is able to intercept object with minimum time on a conveyor line that moves at a given speed. The search algorithm for minimum time solution is given in detail for all possible cases for initial locations of robot. Simulations results show the validity of the given algorithm.

A walking robot must have the ability to change the body direction in order to avoid the obstacles. In this paper, we develop a gait control algorithm that can maintain the stable movement of the robot for three different modes of changing directions. The algorithm makes it possible for the robot to have the larger gait stability margin than the threshold value by the method of changing the body speed.

In this paper, a motion control algorithm is proposed by using neural network system, which makes a robot arm successfully avoid unexpected obstacle when the robot is moving from the start to the goal position. During the motion, if there is an obstacle the vision system recognizes it. And in every time the optimization-algorithm quickly chooses a motion among the possible motions of robot. The proposed algorithm has a good avoidance characteristic in simulation.

This paper proposes an effective algorithm for following a wall by an autonomous mobile robot with sonar sensors and infrared sensors in an indoor environment. The proposed method uses deadreckoning to estimate the current position and orientation of a mobile robot. Sonar sensor data are used to estimate shape and position of wall using proposed algorithm. Infrared sensor data are used as assistant when sonar sensor data is uncertain. Simulation results using mobile robot show that the proposed algorithm is proper for the following wall.

In this paper, a design method for a logistics transportation robot based on a modular conveyor rack and path planning considering the environment of a logistics center is proposed. The driving part of the logistics transportation robot is designed and the working method of lifter for the transportation function is explained. The design of the modular conveyor rack is also described and an algorithm for a logistics transportation robot using a modular conveyor rack is suggested. The $A^*$ algorithm is improved by using the concept of rotation cost and the initial state of the transportation robot's characteristics. We experimented with a four-step transportation algorithm for a logistics transportation robot using a modular conveyor rack and showed that the proposed method can be used successfully in a logistics center. In addition, we verified the effectiveness of the improved $A^*$ algorithm considering the rotation cost and the initial state of the robot.
