An NAC(Natural Admittance Control) system design is presented for interaction controller that achieves high-performance and guarantees stability. The NAC can be classified as a particular flavor of impedance control similar to control schemes that have velocity compensator and force compensator. The NAC significantly improves the response characteristics when Coulomb friction is presented in One-link Robot System and guarantees stability when robot contacts with environment. Pragmatic rules for NAC synthesis are derived. It shows method to choose a target impedance for realizable force compensator. Important parameters are found experimentally. It is demonstrated, by the experimental result, that NAC algorithm is successful in rejecting Coulomb friction through velocity compensator and guarantees stability through force compensator. We implement an experimental set-up consisting of environment-generated one-link robot system and DSP system for controller development. We apply the natural admittance controller to the One-link robot system, and show the good performance on desired force control in case of contacting with arbitrary environment.

In this study a moving platform for a mobile robot that can be traveling with a full automatic standing arm was developed. Conventional mobile robots generally may equip 4 wheels or 3 wheels with a caster wheel or independent driven wheels and have good statistic stability. When a mobile robot travels on a sharply perpendicular and narrow crossroad, it may need a special steering scheme such as going forward and backward repeatedly or it is sometimes physically impossible for the robot to go through the crossroad because of the size limit. The upright running mobile robot changes its posture to the upright posture which has a small planar area and is able to go through the crossroad. The upright control which was manually performed step by step before such as sequences of uprighting (returning), checking, and balancing, is now automated.

When a magnetostrictive material is exposed to a magnetic field, its geometry changes due to a magnetostrictive effect. The magnetostriction is analogous to the piezoeletricity. The displacement of the magnetostrictive material is proportional to the applied current while that of the piezoelectric material is proportional to the voltage. A magnetostrictive material generates large displacement and higher compressive force compared with a piezoeletric material. These advantages provide a good performance of a vibration isolation of a platform. In this work, it is applied to a driving actuator for vibration isolation of a platform. The properties of a magnetostrictive material are investigated in terms of hysteresis and displacement vs. applied current for a various preload. Modeling of the displacement of the vibration isolating actuator is performed as it behaves as a flow source. A sliding mode controller is designed to demonstrate the ability of the magnetostrictive actuator to reduce the vibration at the platform. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through experimental works. The experimental results of the vibration of the platform axe presented in terms of time response and frequency response.

Recently, the concrete floor finishing robot, which can be used for flattening and smoothing the concrete floor, has been developed in Korea and Japan. While the previous research assumes that the concrete floor is deformable and the trowel is rigid in modeling the concrete floor finisher, we assume that the concrete floor is rigid and the trowel is deformable. Based on this assumption, we derived the equations of motion and found the convergent velocity of the concrete floor finisher using the computer simulation. From these results, we can understand the relationship between the motion characteristics and the design and control parameter of the robot.

Bang-bang control law provides the optimal solution for a minimum-time control problem, but ignores the intermediate path except for the initial and final points. In this paper, a near minimum-time suboptimal fuzzy logic controller is introduced that can control the intermediate path. A dynamic model for a system is established using the average dynamics method of linearization. System model is continuously updated over the control time periods. This makes it suitable for high speed or variable payload applications. Bang-bang control theory is modified and used to derive the preliminary control law. A fuzzy logic algorithm is then applied to adjust and find the best solution. The solution will provide the suboptimal minimum-time control law which can avoid obstacles in the workspace.

Since impact phenomenon is highly nonlinear, the analysis and control of the contact motion has been a challenging subject. Various researches have been carried out mostly for the contact of a rigid robotic manipulator with a stiff and elastic environment. This paper is motivated by a new contact task: the in-circuit test of a printed circuit board. In this process, high speed contact occurs between a rigid probing manipulator and a plastically deformable work environment. A new dynamic model of the impact controlled probing task has been proposed, considering contact with the plastically deformable object. Approaching velocity conditions to avoid an excess of the allowable penetration depth and control the generated impact force properly are derived from the proposed model. The results of the simulation studies are made for various probing conditions and show the validity of the proposed model.

Flexible parts can be deformed by the contact forces during assembly on the con to rigid parts and thus their successful assembly requires informations about their deformation as well as a misalignment between mating parts. However, because of the nonlinear and complex relationship between parts deformation and assembly reaction forces, it is difficult to acquire all required informations from only the reaction forces during assembly. In this paper, we propose a sensing system consisting of a camera and multiple mirrors for flexible parts assembly. Simulation results show that the system can be effectively used for detecting parts deformation and a misalignment between mating parts.

Recently, human body modeling with muscle deformation has become an attractive research area in computer animation. There are many modeling tools available for solids such as mechanical part. However, there are many limitations of these conventional methods in modeling flexible objects with delicate motions and shapes such as human bodies. In this paper we present a new modeling technique for human body with muscle deformation. Each muscle is represented as a generalized cylinder and its shape deformation is computed using simple algorithm. The human body is a union of muscles, bones, organs, etc. The modeling data are obtained from the information on the human anatomy. To demonstrate the feasibility of our method, we model several arm muscles and simulate the skin deformation. As a result we have obtained a realistic shape deformation.

본 논문은 삼차원 거리영상화 장비중 고속으로 거리영상을 잡을 수 있는 거리영상화 소자를 IC로 시험 제작하여 그 결과를 보였다. 제작된 IC에 대한 실험은 각 부분의 성능과 센서 자체의 정밀도 측정에 중점을 두었다. 각 부분의 성능에 대해서는 빛 감지부분의 신호의 크기, 소자들의 동작성, 정보 저장부분의 입력 전압에 대한 출력 전압의 변형등을 다룬다. 센서 자체의 정밀도는 각 부분에서 발생하는 오차를 측정하였다. 제작된 센서는 아나로그방식으로 정밀도에 제한을 받는 단점이 있어 구조를 달리하여 디지탈 방식으로 접근한 센서를 제안한다. 아나로그 방식에 비해 셀 면적을 줄일 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 정밀도도 높고, 속도도 떨어지지 않아 아나로그 방식 IC 센서의 단점을 극복한다.
