This paper describes the design of an elbow rehabilitation robot based on force measurement that enables a severe stroke patient confined to their bed to receive elbow rehabilitation exercises. The developed elbow rehabilitation robot was providewitha two-axis force/torque sensor which can detect force Fz and torque Tz, thereby allowing it to measure therotational force (Tz) exerted on the elbow and the signal force Fz which can be used as a safety device. The robot was designed and manufactured for severe stroke patients confined to bed, and the robot program was manufactured to perform flexibility elbow rehabilitation exercises. Asa result of the characteristics test of the developed rehabilitation robot, the device was safely operated while the elbow rehabilitation exercises were performed. Therefore, it is thought that the developed rehabilitation robot can be used for severe stroke patients.

This paper presents the implementation of teleoperation control of an omni-direction mobile robot. The master joystick robot has two degrees of freedom to control the movement of the slave mobile robot in the Cartesian space. In addition, the whole teleoperated control system is closed by the force feedback. The operator can feel the contact force as the slave robot makes contact with the environment. Experimental results show that the teleooerated control with force feedback has been successfully implemented.

This paper describes the intelligent robot's hand with three-axis finger force sensors for an intelligent robot. In order to grasp an unknown object safely, it should measure the mass of the object, and determine the grasping force using the mass, then control the robot's fingers with the grasping force. In this paper, the intelligent robot's hand for an intelligent robot was developed. First, the three-axis finger force sensors were designed and manufactured, second, the intelligent robot's hand with three-axis finger force sensors were designed and fabricated, third, the high-speed control system was designed and manufactured using DSP( digital signal processor), finally, the characteristic test to grasp an unknown object safely was carried out. It was confirmed that the developed intelligent robot's hand could grasp an unknown object safely.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a robot's gripper control system. In order to safely grasp an unknown object using the robot's gripper, the gripper should detect the force of gripping direction and the force of gravity direction, and should perform the force control using the detected forces and the robot's gripper control system. In this paper, the robot's gripper control system is designed and manufactured using DSP(Digital Signal Processor), and the gripper is composed of two 6-axis force/moment sensors which measures the Fx force(force of x-direction), Fy force, Fz force, and the Mx moment(moment of x-direction), My moment, Mz moment at the same time. The response characteristic test of the system is performed to determine the proportional gain Kp and the integral gain Ki of PI controller. As a result, it is shown that the developed robot's gripper control system grasps an unknown object safely.

We propose a blind mobile robot force control algorithm that uses force information as a guidance toward to the goal position. Based on the mobile robot dynamics, the control law is formed from explicit force errors. Simulation studies are conducted based on the kinematics and the dynamics of the mobile robot. Simulation results show that good force tracking can be achieved. In order to confirm simulation results, experiments are performed. The robot is commanded to follow unknown environment with maintaining a certain desired force. Experimental results show that the blind mobile robot successfully maintains contact with a regulated desired force and arrives at the goal position.

This paper presents interaction force control between a balancing robot and a human operator. The balancing robot has two wheels to generate movements on the plane. Since the balancing robot is based on position control, the robot tries to maintain a desired angle to be zero when an external force is applied. This leads to the instability of the system. Thus a hybrid force control method is employed to react the external force from the operator to guide the balancing robot to the desired position by a human operator. Therefore, when an operator applies a force to the robot, desired balancing angles should be modified to maintain stable balance. To maintain stable balance under an external force, suitable desired balancing angles are determined along with force magnitudes applied by the operator through experimental studies. Experimental studies confirm the functionality of the proposed method.

In this paper, an implementation of force control for a slave mobile robot in tele-operation environment is presented. A mobile robot is built to have a force control capability with a force sensor and tested for force tracking control performances. Both position and contact force are regulated by a PID based hybrid control method and the impedance force control method. To minimize accumulated errors due to the adaptive impedance force control method, the novel force control method with a weighted function is proposed. Experimental studies of regulating contact forces for different control algorithms are tested and their performances are compared.

For a robot to perfom more versatile tasks, it is invitable for the robot's end-effector to come into contact with its environment. In thos case, to achieve better performance, it is necessary to properly control the contact force between the robot and the environment. In thos work, hybrid control theory is studied and is verified through experiment using a 3 DOF robot. In the experiment, two position/force controllers are used. Fist, proportional-integral-derivative controller is used as the controller for both position and force. Second, computed-torque method is used as the position controller, and proportional-integral-derivative controller is used as the force controller. For a proper modeling used in computed-torque method, the friction torque is measured by experiment, and compensation method is studied. The hybrid control method used in this experiment effectively control the contact force between the end-effector and the environment for various types of jobs.

This paper presents neural networks for hybrid position/force control which is a type of position and force control for robot manipulators. The performance of conventional hybrid position/force control is excellent in the case of the exactly-known dynamic model of the robot, but degrades seriously as the uncertainty of the model increases. Hence, the neural network control scheme is presented here to overcome such shortcoming. The introduced neural term is designed to learn the uncertainty of the robot, and to control the robot through uncertainty compensation. Further more, the learning rule of the neural network is derived and is shown to be effective in the sense that it requires neither desired output of the network nor error back propagation through the plant. The proposed scheme is verified through the simulation of hybrid position/force control of a 6-dof robot manipulator.

In this paper, experimental studies of force control of the crack tracking robot are presented. The crack tracking robot should maintain constant contact with the road to perform cleaning process of the crack effectively. Regulating desired force on the road requires a sophisticated force control algorithm. Here, two main force control algorithms such as the impedance force control and the explicit force control are used. Performances of two force control algorithms are compared.
