  • In this paper, a fully adaptive feedforward feedback synchronized tracking control approach is developed for precision tracking control of 6 degree of freedom (6DOF) Stewart Platform. The proposed controller is designed in decentralized form for implementation simplicity. Interconnections among different subsystems and gravity effect are eliminated by the feedforward control action. Feedback control action guarantees the stability of the system. The gains of the proposed controller can be updated on line without requiring any prior knowledge of Stewart Platform manipulator. Thus the control approach is claimed to be fully adaptive. By employing cross-coupling error technology, the proposed approach can guarantee both of position error and synchronization error converge to zero asymptotically. Because the actuators work in synchronous manner, the tracking performances are improved. The corresponding stability analysis is also presented in this paper. Finally, simulation is demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

  • Biped locomotion can be simply modeled as a linear inverted pendulum mode. This model considers only the CG (center of gravity) of the entire system. But in real biped robot systems, the free-leg motion dynamics is not negligible. So if its dynamics is not considered in designing the reference CG motion, it is badly influence to the ZMP(zero moment point) position of the biped robot walking in the sagittal plane. Therefore, we modeled the biped locomotion similar to the linear inverted pendulum mode but considered the predetermined free-leg dynamics. To verify that the proposed biped locomotion is more stable than the linear inverted pendulum mode, we constructed a biped robot simulator and designed a serco controller to track both the reference motion of the free leg and the reference motion of CG of the biped robot using the computed torque control low. And through simulations, we verified that the proposed walking is better in stability than the one based on the linear inverted pendulum mode.

  • 본 논문에서는 휴머노이드 로봇의 예기치 않은 불규칙한 지면 환경 하에서 안정성을 확보하기위한 보행 전략을 제시한다. 휴머노이드 로봇의 안정성에 관한 지표로 널리 사용되는 ZMP(Zero Moment Point)나 COG(Center Of Gravity)를 이용한 방법은 많은 양의 연산을 필요로 하고, 주로 외부에서 가해지는 임의의 힘에 대처하는데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 휴머노이드 로봇의 불안정성을 유발하는 또 다른 주요한 원인으로 예기치 못한 지면 환경을 꼽을 수 있는데, 본 논문에서는 이러한 불규칙한 지형을 보행하는 휴머노이드 로봇의 실시간 안정성을 확보하는데 있어 ZMP나 COG가 아닌 지면으로부터의 반발력을 이용한 직관적인 알고리즘을 제시하며, 자체 개발된 휴머노이드 로봇 ISHURO II를 이용한 시뮬레이션으로 제시된 알고리즘을 검증한다.

  • In this paper, the second order time mean forces acting on the circular cylinder floating on the free surface of a finite water depth are calculated. Under the assumption that fluid is idea and the wave the linear gravity wave, the velocity potential is calculated by the source distribution method, and the second order time mean lateral and vertical drifting forces are calculated by the direct integration of fluid pressures over the immersed body surface. The comparison of the lateral drifting forces with Rhee's results by momentum theorem shows good agreements. And it is shown that the second order time sinkage forces of a floating circular cylinder cross zero for all water depths.

  • Magnetohydrostatic equilibria, in which the Lorentz force, the plasma pressure force and the gravitational force balance out to zero, are widely adopted as the zeroth order states of many astrophysical plasma structures. A magnetic flux-current surface is a surface, in which both magnetic field lines and current lines lie. We for the first time derive the necessary and sufficient condition for existence of magnetic flux-current surfaces in magnetohydrostatic equilibria. It is also shown that the existence of flux-current surfaces is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for the ratio of gravity-aligned components of current density and magnetic field to be constant along each field line. However, its necessary and sufficient condition is found to be very restrictive. This finding gives a significant constraint in modeling solar coronal magnetic fields as force-free fields using photospheric magnetic field observations.

  • This note is concerned with the point to point control of manipulators having elastic joints. We present a PD control algorithm which is adaptive with respect to the gravity and elastic parameters of robot manipulators. While the conventional control law is used, a new adaptive law is used to improve the performance. The proposed controller is shown to be stable. It is Shown that steady-state position error converges to zero through some simulations concerning the manipulator with three revolute elastic joints.

  • The space world under zero gravity and super vacuum where the space machine works has only friction and inertia. Inertia of acceleration and diceleration is accurately obtained by computing while friction is always in contact surface and unsteady. The sur soundings under super vacuum make surface friction more complicate. [1,2]. Therefore, method to lubricate stably the contact surface for long term in space machine is very important and friction for space machine proves to be true by several accident of space projects. In spite of that accident, method of lubrication and lubricants to keep stablity for long term in space machine have not been established so far. Lubrication for space machine is very important and under developings over the world. In this study we suggest a new lubricating technology, which improves powerful for space machine.

  • A kinematically admissible velocity field is developed for the analysis of twisting of extruded products. The twisting of extruded product is caused by the linearly increased rotational velocity from the center on the cross-section of the workpiece at the die exit. In the analysis, the rotational velocity in angular direction is assumed by the multiplication of radial distance and angular velocity. The angular velocity is zero at the die entrance and is increased linearly by longitudinal distance from die entrance. The increase rate of angular velocity is determined by the minimization of plastic work. The results of the analysis show that the angular velocity of the extruded product changes with the aspect ratio of product and increases with the decreases in die length and in eccentricity of gravity center of the cross-section of workpiece at die entrance from that of the cross-section at the die exit.

  • For high-speed fuzzy control systems, an important problem is the improvement of speed for the fuzzy inference, particularly in the consequent part and the defuzzification stage. This paper introduces an algorithm to map real values of the fuzzy membership functions in the consequent part onto an integer grid, as well as a method of eliminating the unnecessary operations of the zero items in the defuzzification stage, allowing a center of gravity method to be implemented with only integer additions and one integer division. A VHDL implementation of the system is presented. The proposed system shows approximately an order of magnitude increase in speed as compared with conventional methods while introducing only a minimal error and can be used in many fuzzy controller applications.

  • 휴머노이드 로봇이 인간에게 필요한 다양한 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 정해진 동작이 아닌 상황에 따른 다양한 동작이 요구된다. 특히 보행에 있어서는 회전각도 보폭 등이 상황에 따라 변경이 가능해야 한다. 이에 따라 로봇에게 필요한 다양한 보행 궤적을 생성하기 위해서는 보행궤적의 생성과 안정성 판별을 위한 ZMP(Zero Moment Point), COG(Center Of Gravity)등의 생성을 위한 시뮬레이터가 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 성행 연구를 통해 개발된 시뮬레이터 프로그램의 단점을 분석하고 보완하여, 보폭 및 회전 각도가 자유로운 회전 보행의 생성이 가능한 시뮬레이터 프로그램을 구현하였다. 그리고 구현된 시뮬레이터 프로그램을 사용하여 생성된 궤적 파일을 동역학 해석 프로그램인 NASTRAN을 이용 시뮬레이터를 검증한다.
