This study presents the development of a lifetime test bench for the strain wave reducer which is a precision gear reducer of the robot to realize fault diagnosis and failure prognostics. To this end, the lifetime test bench was designed to detect the vertical forward/reverse direction rotation load. Through the lifetime test bench, it is possible to apply the same load spectrum from robot working scenarios. We developed a data integration gateway for fault data collection. Through the development of dedicated software for fault diagnosis and failure prognostics, these data from vibration, noise and temperature sensors were collected and analyzed along with the operation of the lifetime evaluation.

푸드테크 산업 중 서비스 로봇 시장이 커짐에 따라 외식산업의 소비자 행동의도에 영향을 끼치는 로봇 서비스의 품질이 중요하다. 식당 서빙로봇은 직원의 업무를 줄여주기도 하지만, 서비스 실패에 따른 대응이 되지 않기 때문에 고객의 불만족은 물론 직원의 업무를 늘리기도 한다. 주문과 서빙 기능 외에 서비스 품질을 높이기 위해서 직원처럼 서비스 실패 후 복구 노력, 과정의 공정성, 공감, 대응성, 확신성에 대한 기능도 요구된다. 이에 우리는 식당 서빙 서비스 실패 유형을 내적, 외적요인으로 가정하고, 서비스에 실패했을 때 직업 윤리적인 태도로 대응할 수 있도록 직업윤리적 공감모듈이 있는 서빙로봇을 개발했다. 이때 서빙로봇의 표정과 액션은 평상 서비스 모드에 실패복구 노력과 공감을 반영한 실패 모드를 추가하여 개발하였으며, 두 유형의 서비스 실패에 따른 서빙로봇의 직업 윤리적 공감 대응 여부가 로봇평가에 유의미한지를 실험하였다. 실험참가자들은 로봇 실수보다 다른 고객의 실수에 따른 서비스 실패에 더 불편해했으며, 서빙로봇의 직업윤리적 공감과 대응은 적절했다고 응답하였다. 또한 직업윤리적 공감 모듈의 장착여부에 따라 로봇 호감도는 차이가 없지만 안전성은 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 생성형 인공지능을 활용하여 직업윤리적 공감 대응 모듈을 탑재한다면, 국내 서빙로봇산업과 시장은 더욱 성장할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper proposes a robust fault-tolerant control framework for robot manipulators to maintain the required performance and achieve task completion in the presence of both partial joint failures and complete joint failures and uncertainties. In the case of a complete joint failure or free-swinging joint failure causing the complete loss of torque on a joint, a fully-actuated robot manipulator can be viewed as an underactuated robot manipulator. To detect and identify a complete actuator failure, an on-line fault detection operation is also presented. The proposed fault-tolerant control system contains a robust adaptive controller overcoming partial joint failures based on robust adaptive control methodology, an on-line fault detector detecting and identifying complete joint failures, and a robust adaptive controller overcoming partial and complete joint failures, and so eventually it can face and overcome joint failures and uncertainties. Numerical simulations are conducted to validate the proposed robust fault-tolerant control scheme.

Power transmission lines have been playing a key role as the mainstay of national industry. When a power failure occurs, it can have severe effects on national security as well as national industry and economy. In this paper, we consider an insulator failure, which is one of the main causes of such a power failure. In spite of its importance, however, a shortage of manpower in the insulator maintenance field is getting more serious due to working environments with a high voltage and a high place. For this reason, a new active maintenance technique using a robot system is required to prevent such an insulator failure. In this paper, a new robot mechanism for insulator cleaning and inspection was developed. We confirmed its effectiveness through experiments.

A strategy for fault-tolerant gaits of autonomous legged robots is proposed. A legged robot is considered to be fault tolerant with respect to a given failure if it is guaranteed to be capable of walking maintaining its static stability after the occurrence of the failure. The failure concerned in this paper is a locked joint failure for which a joint in a leg cannot move and is locked in place. If a failed joint is locked, the workspace of the resulting leg is constrained, but legged robots have fault tolerance capability to continue static walking. An algorithm for generating fault-tolerant gaits is described and, especially, periodic gaits are presented for forward walking of a hexapod robot with a locked joint failure. The leg sequence and the formula of the stride length are analytically driven based on gait study and robot kinematics. The transition procedure from a normal gait to the proposed fault-tolerant gait is shown to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed scheme.

Serious injuries and deaths due to multi-jointed robot occur when a man mispercepts. especially during robot teaching and maintenance work. Since industrial robots often operate with unpredictable motion patterns, establishment of safe speed limit of robot arm is indispensable. An experimental emergency conditions were simulated with a multi-jointed robot. and response characteristics of human operators were measured. The result showed that failure type, robot arm axis. and robot arm speed had significant effects on human reaction time. The reaction time was slightly increased with robot arm speed. though it showed somewhat different pattern owing to failure type. Furthermore the reaction time to the axis which could flex or extend. acting on a workpiece directly. was fastest and its standard deviation was small. The robot arm speed limit securing a‘possible contact zone’based on overrun distance was about 25cm/sec. and in this sense the validity of safe speed limits suggested by many precedent researchers were discussed.

서비스 현장에서 로봇의 활용이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 서비스 로봇의 종업원으로서의 역할에 주목하여, 로봇의 서비스가 고객행동에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 서비스 성공과 실패 상황에서 사람 종업원과 비교하여 살펴보았다. 바리스타로봇, 서빙로봇, 쉐프로봇을 대상으로 세 번의 실험을 통해 실증분석을 수행하여 도출된 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 서비스가 성공적인 경우, 사람들은 서비스를 제공한 종업원이 사람인지, 로봇인지에 관계없이 재방문 의도가 유사하게 나타났다. 반면, 서비스가 실패인 상황에서는 로봇 종업원으로부터 서비스를 받은 경우보다 사람 종업원으로부터 서비스를 받은 경우에 재방문 의도가 더 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이에 대한 이유는 아직까지 서비스 로봇의 능력에 대한 고객들의 기대가 사람 종업원에 비해 낮기 때문인 것으로 파악되었다. 마지막으로 고객들은 로봇의 서비스가 사람의 서비스에 비해 더 안정적이라고 인식하는 것으로 나타나 서비스 로봇이 성공적인 서비스를 제공한다면 로봇으로부터 서비스를 제공받는 고객으로부터 긍정적인 반응과 행동을 이끌어낼 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Fault-tolerant gait generation of a hexapod robot with crab walking is proposed. The considered fault is a locked joint failure, which prevents a joint of a leg from moving and makes it locked in a known position. Due to the reduced workspace of a failed leg, fault-tolerant crab walking has a limitation in the range of heading direction. In this paper, an accessible range of the crab angle is derived for a given configuration of the failed leg and, based on the principles of fault-tolerant gait planning, periodic crab gaits are proposed in which a hexapod robot realizes crab walking after a locked joint failure, having a reasonable stride length and stability margin. The proposed crab walking is then applied to path planning on uneven terrain with positive obstacles. i.e., protruded obstacles which legged robots cannot cross over but have to take a roundabout route to avoid. The robot trajectory should be generated such that the crab angle does not exceed the restricted range caused by a locked joint failure.

In the industrial field, robots are used to increase productivity by replacing labors with dangerous, difficult, and hard tasks. However, failures of individual industrial robots in the entire production process may cause product defects or malfunctions, and may cause dangerous disasters in the case of manufacturing parts used in automobiles and aircrafts. Although requirements for early diagnosis of industrial robot failures are steadily increasing, there are many limitations in early detection. This paper introduces methods for diagnosing robot failures using sound-based data and deep learning. This paper also analyzes, compares, and evaluates the performance of failure diagnosis using various deep learning technologies. Furthermore, in order to improve the performance of the fault diagnosis system using deep learning technology, we propose a method to increase the accuracy of fault diagnosis based on an inference window. When adopting the inference window of deep learning, the accuracy of the failure diagnosis was increased up to 94%.

This paper proposes fault tolerant gaits of a quadruped robot with feet of flat shape. Fault tolerant gaits make it possible for a legged robot to continue static walking against a leg failure. In the previous researches, it was assumed that a legged robot had feet that have point contact with the surface. When the robot is endowed with feet having flat shape, fault tolerant gaits can show better performance compared with the former gaits, especially in terms of the stride length and gait stability. In this paper, fault tolerant gaits of a quadruped robot against a locked joint failure are addressed in straight-line motion and crab walking, respectively.
