In this paper, the structure of a gravity compensator was studied, and the 6-axis robot manipulator which is newly developed by applying the gravity compensator is presented to improve the torque performance of the robot joint. The kinematics analysis on the robot was presented. Also, a simulation of the performance of the joint actuator of robot adopting the gravity compensator was presented by applying various springs. According to the simulation results, it was validated that the payload effect on the robot joint actuator adopting the gravity compensator is reduced in proportion to the spring intensity of the gravity compensator.

로봇기술의 발달로 인하여 로봇의 활용 분야는 점차 확대되고 있으며 의료 및 재활분야에도 이용되는 추세이다. 의료분야에 이용되는 메디칼 로봇은 최소 절개 수술에 적용하는 경우 많은 이점을 얻을 수 있다는 점과 전문의사가 현장에 있기 힘든 오지나 낙도 또는 전쟁터 같은 곳에서도 원격 수술이 가능하다는 장점으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 원격 수술은 수술 계획, 로봇에게 환자 등록, 원격 수술 시행의 세가지 과정을 거치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 원격 수술을 위한 위 과정의 연구 동향을 기술하고 현재 본 실험실에서 수행하고 있는 연구 내용을 다룬다. 원격 수술을 위한 의료시스템을 구축하기 위해 팬-틸터 구동부를 가지 스테레어 시각 시스템을 제작하고 여기서 얻어지는 정보를 HMD에 투시하여 현장감을 느끼게 만드는 것과 수술대에서 환자를 수술하는 듯한 느낌을 제공할 수 있는 기술인 매스터 조작기와 슬레이브 조작기 사이의 힘 피드백 구현에 대해 다룬다.

본 논문에서는 IMU를 이용한 6자유도 모바일 로봇을 설계하고 성능을 평가해 보았다. IMU를 이용하여 로봇의 Roll과 Pitch 각을 측정하여 모바일 로봇의 이동경로 경사각을 측정하여 지면이 수평 일 때 모바일 로봇의 6바퀴 모두 항상 지면과 닿아 있는 상태를 유지한다. 또한 오르막과 내리막일 경우 로봇의 동역학에 의한 최소한의 에너지를 유지하여 이동이 가능하도록 하기위한 로봇의 제어기를 설계하고 그 성능을 평가해 보았다.

This paper presents a low-cost robotic device for shoulder rehabilitation, which is capable of treating various shoulder disabilities. A 3-DOF passive shoulder joint tracking module was designed to allow for translational motion of the shoulder joint center during arm swing, which is essential for natural shoulder movement. The weight of the user's arm and the device were compensated for by springs, to enable gravity-free shoulder motion. In order to reduce the device's cost, only one actuator was used, which can be aligned with the user's shoulder joint in various orientations. The device is capable of implementing five representative shoulder motions, including flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, horizontal abd/adduction, internal/external rotation, and oblique raise. The proposed low-cost shoulder rehabilitation robot is expected to provide effective rehabilitation for patients with various shoulder impairments.

We developed a human-sized BWR(biped walking robot) driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. The robot overcomes the limit of the driving torque of conventional BWRs. Each leg of the robot is composed of three pitch joints and one roll joint. In all, a 10 degree-of-freedom robot with two balancing joints was developed. The BWR was developed to walk autonomously such that it is actuated by small torque motors and is boarded with DC battery and controllers. In the performance test, the BWR peformed nice motions of sitting-up and sitting-down. Through the test, we could find capability of high performance in biped-walking.

This paper presents the control method for the hybrid actuator comprising a DC motor and an MR brake. Generally, a DC motor as an active actuator has a small power to weight ratio and goes unstable with higher force control gain due to its saturation limit. In order to cope with this instability and make the transparency higher, this paper proposes a hybrid actuator which consists of a DC motor and an MR brake as a passive actuator and its force control method based on network theory. A DC motor actively produces the output corresponding to the signs of the input currents. On the other hand, an MR brake passively resists against the external load independent of the sign changes of the input currents. This characteristics is widely known as 'passive' This paper suggests a force control method based on passivity concept in network theory for the hybrid actuator and verified its performance and stability through the experiments.

We propose the method for kinematic and dynamic modeling and Path-tracking of four-wheeled mobile robots with 2 d.o.f having the limited drive-torques. Controllability of wheeled-mobile robots is revealed by using the kinematic model. Instantaneously coincident coordinate system, force/torque propagation and Newton's equilibrium law are used to induce the dynamic model. When drive-torques generated by inverse dynamics exceed the limitation, we make wheeled-mobile robots follow the reference path by modifying the planned reference trajectory with time-scaling. The controller is introduced to compensate for error owing to modeling uncertainty and measurement noise. And simulation results prove that the method proposed by this paper is efficient.

A large number of motors and sensors are used to drive a humanoid robot. In order to solve the wiring problem that occurs when connecting multiple actuators, a controller based on a communication network has been used, and CAN, which is advantageous in terms of cost and a highly reliable communication protocol, was mainly used. In terms of the structure of the controller, a torque control type structure that is easy to implement an advanced algorithm into the upper controller is preferred. In this case, the low communication bandwidth of CAN becomes a problem, and in order to obtain sufficient communication bandwidth, a communication network is configured by separating into a plurality of CAN networks. In this study, a stability analysis on transmission time delay is performed for a multi-motor control system in which high-speed FlexRay and low-speed CAN communication networks are hierarchically connected in order to obtain a high communication bandwidth, and sensor information and driving signals are delivered within the allowed transmission time. The proposed hierarchical network-based control system is expected to improve control performance because it can implement multiple motor control systems with a single network.
