In this study, in order to improve and optimize the performance of the turning mechanism for a fish robot in the fluid, we propose the tail joint trajectories using neural networks to mimic the CST(C-shape Sharp Turn) patterns of a real fish which is optimized in the natural environment. In order to mimic the CST patterns of a fish, we convert the sequential recording CST patterns into the coordinate data, and change the numerical coordinate data into a functions. We change the motion functions to the relative joint angles which is adapted to suit robot's shape and data. However, these relative joint trajectories obtained by the sequential recording of the carp have low-precision. It is difficult to apply to the control of a fish robot. Therefore, the relative joint trajectories are interpolated using neural networks with superior generalization ability and applied to the fish robot. we have found that the proposed method using neural networks is superior to ones using high-order polynomial equation through the computer simulations.

This paper proposes two types of the preview algorithms to predict the velocities and joint positions, and deals with a control approach using the preview algorithms for the precise trajectory control. Specifically, a predictor as the form of discrete time state equations is proposed based on the robot dynamics model linearized by the computed toque method. And another state predictor is proposed by the best line fitting in the least square sense, where present joint velocities and positions and several past positions are employed. Then computer simulations are performed for the SCARA robot with two d.o.f to show the validities of the proposed algorithms.

This paper presents an implementation of a smooth path planning method considering physical limits on a real time operating system for a two-wheel mobile robot. A Bezier curve is utilized to make a smooth path considering a robot's position and direction angle through the defined path. A convolution operator is used to generate the center velocity trajectory to travel the distance of the planned path while satisfying the physical limits. The joint space velocity is computed to drive the two-wheel mobile robot from the center velocity. Trajectory planning, velocity command according to the planned trajectory, and monitoring of encoder data are implemented with a multi-tasking system. And the synchronization of tasks is performed with a real-time mechanism of Event Flag. A real time system with multi-tasks is implemented and the result is compared with a non-real-time system in terms of path tracking to the designed path. The result shows the usefulness of a real-time multi-tasking system to the control system which requires real-time features.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the muscular activity and muscle strength for swing track of upper limbs during rowing exercise. Subject was all twenty healthy adults and they were divided into linear exercise group and elliptical exercise group in random. Subjects performed rowing exercise 3-times for a week and performed all 8-weeks. We measured realtime-surface EMG. Also we measured joint torque of elbow, ankle and lumbar in subjects using BIODEX. The result showed that when rowing exercise, elliptical track exercise had higher muscular activity in trapezius, deltoid, erector spinae, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, gastronemius than linear track exercise on more many muscle of upper and lower limbs. Also elbow joint torque and lumbar joint torque was more higher too. but linear exercise also had higher muscular activity in multifidus, tibilalis anterior than elliptical track exercise. According to this experiment, we found out that elliptical track was more efficient than linear track.

In this paper, we embodied posture-stabilization and dynamic gait in a walking robot. 10 RC servo motors are used to operate joints. And the joints have enough moving ranges suitable in any walking pattern. Each joint trajectory is generated by cubic spline interpolation method and the stability of the trajectory is verified by using Zero Moment Point from the robot modeling. To avoid complex structure and expression, Zero Moment Point of the biped robot used angular acceleration is suggested. To measure the stability of the biped robot, Tilt sensor and gyro sensor are used. Finally, Personal Computer is used computer monitoring and data processing. Most of computation, such as 10 RC servo motor control, joint trajectory generating, ZMP compensation, sense measuring, etc, was used Digital Signal Processor.

This paper presents a frequency-response test performed on an antagonistic actuation system consisting of two Mckibben pneumatic artificial muscles and a pneumatic circuit with pressure valves. Varying switching frequency to pressure valves from 0.1 Hz to 5 Hz, parameters of a linear model were estimated optimally to predict dynamic characteristics of the antagonistic actuation. A model-base control scheme with estimated parameters was built for the precise trajectory tracking of the antagonistic structure and realized on a reconfigurable embedded control system, CompactRIO. Experimental results showed that the proposed model-based control scheme gave good performance in trajectory tracking comparing with a PD control scheme when square wave and sinusoidal wave were given as references to follow.

The study of fish robot is a main subject that are related with the propulsive force comparison using a varying amplitude and frequency for body and tail motion trajectory, and the quick turn using a proper trajectory function. In this study, when a fish robot thrusts forward, feedback control is difficult to apply for a fish robot, because body and tail joints as a sine wave are rolled. Therefore, we detect the virtual position based on the path of the fish robot, define the angle errors using the detected position and the look-ahead point on the given path, and design a controller to track given path. We have found that the proposed method is useful through the computer simulations.

본 연구에서는 영화나 게임 등에서 사용되는 인간형 관절체의 움직임을 만들어내기 위하여 동역학 시뮬레이션을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 동역학을 이용하여 동작을 생성하는 방법은 실제 배우가 연기하기 힘들어서 동작 포착을 활용할 수 없는 경우, 키프레임 방식에 비해 보다 사실적이고 효과적으로 동작을 만들어 내는 장점이 있다. 하지만 시간이 많이 소요되고 결과 동작을 예측하거나 제어하기 힘들기 때문에 지금까지 활용도가 낮았다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법은 복잡한 최적화나 컨트롤러 모델링과정 없이 동작 포착 데이터를 이용한 비례 미분 제어기를 통해서 포착된 동작과 유사한 패턴을 가지는 관절 제어기를 만들어낸다. 특히, 내부 관절 제어기뿐만 아니라 최상위 관절에 작용하는 가장제어기를 생성하여 포착된 동작의 관절 궤적을 보다 효과적으로 흉내 낼 수 있게 한다. 생성된 제어기의 매개변수를 조정함으로써 여러 가지 효과를 만들어 낼 수 있으며, 동시에 다양한 동작 패턴도 적용 가능하다. 마지막으로 제어기를 통해 시뮬레이션 되는 동작과 원래 동작 포착된 결과를 혼합하거나 보간함으로써 최종 동작을 생성한다.
