Analysis of actuating forces and joint reaction forces are essential to determine the capacity of actuators, to control the mechanical system and to design its components. This paper presents an algorithm that calculates actuating forces(or torques), depending on the various types of driving constraints, in order to produce a given system motion in the joint coordinate space. The joint coordinates are used as the generalized coordinates of a kinematic system. System equations of motion and constraint acceleration equations are transformed from the Cartesian coordinate space to the joint coordinate space using the velocity transformation method. A numerical example is carried out to verify the algorithm proposed.

This paper describes the mechanism of parallel micro machine platform and its feedback control system for acquiring high accuracy. The parallel micro machine platform that has developed has 5x5x5 work-space and sub-micron accuracy. For the high accuracy, the feedback control system is important but errors in machining and assembling are inevitable. Kinematic calibration is important for this reason. In this paper, various error components are introduced and the effects of error component are analyzed.

This paper deals with the comparison of analysis methodologies by applying both Euler angle and quaternion to observe the kinematical behavior of the universal joint system used as an automotive drive-shaft. At first, conventional approaches are applied to predict a kinematical behavior by introducing only Euler angles into the universal joint system, but turns out to be lack in consistency and reliability of the analysis. Then to overcome this deficiency in numerical analysis a different methodology is proposed by using quaternion in this system. Its corresponding advantage is discussed in terms of kinetic energy, rotational velocity and rotational displacement. The application of quaternions in the numerical experiment is shown to be a more useful and valid way of establishing the ideal analytical model of the universal joint system.

This paper presents a ball screw-driven robotic gripper mechanism which is possible to grasp an object and analyzes its kinematic feature for grasping by simulation. For the purpose of identifying the feature of the robot gripper, we try to confirm the kinematics relating the joint space of the driving actuator to the gripper's tip space. To be specific, the proposed robot gripper employs one actuator and a symmetrical closed-chain structure. As a result, the specified robot gripper has an advantage of robustness to external forces structurally, and it is easy to implement simple grasping operations. Also the gripper has a useful squeezing effect for power grasping.

Compound bows use levering systems consisting of cables and cam pulleys to bend limbs that are much stiffer than those of recurve bows, thus storing more energy while requiring less force for the archer to hold the bow at a fully drawn position. Many patents have thus far been proposed to improve the efficiency and performance of compound bows through empirical methods, whereas only a few analytical methods have been proposed. In this light, this paper presents a method for the kinematic analysis of levering systems in compound bows so that a designer can easily predict the effects of changes in the cam profiles and limb materials.

In this paper, we proposed a Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) to search the optimal link lengths for legged walking robot. In order to apply the PSO algorithm for the proposed, its walking robot kinematic analysis is needed. A crab robot based on four-bar linkage mechanism and Jansen mechanism is implemented in H/W. For the performance index of PSO, the stride length of the legged walking robot is defined, based on the propose kinematic analysis. Comparative simulation results present to illustrate the viability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

현재 사용되고 있는 작업방식은 로봇과 positioner의 상대적인 위치 및 자세설정에 의하여 작업효율 및 성능향상을 꾀할 수 있음에도 불구하고 비효율적인 방법으로 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법중의 하나로 로보트와 positioner시스템을 하나의 기구학적 모델로 제어하는 방법이 제시된 바 있다. 상기의 연구에서는 로보트와 positioner(이하 R-P 시스템)간의 협조 제어가 여유자유도제어 방법을 이용하여 가능한 것임을 보였다. 그러나 용접작업과 같은 positioner 위에서의 연속경로 작업에 있어서는 작업공간과 특이성(singularity) 등에 관련된 여러 가지 문제점을 안고 있다. 특이성은 외부의 물리적인 제약이나 로보트의 기하학적 구조의 문제로 발생될 수도 있는데 이때 자유도의 손실을 유발하므로 임의의 원하는 방향으로 움직일 수 없게 된다. 이러한 면에서 R-P 시스템의 조작 성능 평가가 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 실제 산업현장에서 이용되고 있는 5 자유도를 갖는 수직 다관절형 로보트와 positioner에 대하여 협조 제어 방법을 검토한다. 그리고 작업공간 내의 조작성능평가를 위하여 Jacobian 행렬을 이용한 조작성지수를 위하여 Jacobian 행렬을 이용한 조작성지수를 도입하고 주어진 작업단면에 대한 이들의 분포를 등고선 그래프로 시각화 한다. 또한 조작성지수를 최대화 하는 알고리즘을 R-P 시스템에 적용하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 타당성을 검토한다

An assembly modeling system, with which a designer can interactively create an assembly of components ready for the dynamic analysis, has been developed. In this system, an assembly model is created from the mating conditions between the components in the assembly, and then most information required for the dynamic or kinematic analysis packages are derived. For this development, the following problems have been solved; the creation of assembly data structure, the derivation of the joint information, the inference of each component's position, and the creation of the joint coordinate systems. Through this work, the designer can easily model an assembly by assigning mating conditions, and check the dynamic or kinematic performance with the automatic creation of inputs for the assembly analysis packages.

This paper describes a tracking control for the mobile robot based on fuzzy systems. The conventional back-stepping controller includes the dynamics and kinematics of the mobile robot, which is affected by the derived velocity reference by a kinematic controller. To improve the performance of conventional back-stepping controller, this paper uses the fuzzy systems known as the nonlinear controller. In this paper, the new velocity reference for the back-stepping controller is derived through the fuzzy inference. Fuzzy rules are selected for gains of the kinematic controller. The produced velocity reference has properly considered the varying reference trajectories. And simulation results show that the proposed controller is more robust than the conventional back-stepping controller.
