In this paperwe develop a real-time simulator for direct drive cooperative robot by using OpenGL in a Windows NT based system. This simulator is composed of 2 parts, a display part and an interface part. In the display part the robot is modelled and rendered in 3D space. To do this OpenGL, a kind of graphic library, is used for rendering and animating robots and kinematics gives the information of the current robot configuration. The control and the feedback data are sent and received via the interface part. In real time simulation interfacing part needs fast data transfer rate and good nosic immunity. In experiment we have simulated 2-link direct drive cooperative robots using the trajectory tracking algorithm proposed in reference.

Clean and well maintained roadway signs are important for preserving driver's safety. The existing signs on the roadway must be periodically re-painted in order to maintain clean state. However, current sign painting operations are manually performed now. These are very slow and workers are exposed to very dangerous and hazard working environment. In this paper, we present the method for automating this job with gantry robot and spray system. In addition, we suggest two design concepts to resolve the problem that it is impractical to make the gantry system so big as to cover whole lane width. In order to show the validity of this system, the painting operation is simulated and experimentally executed.

The stiffness of multi-articulated industrial robots is very weak, because their structure is an articulated type with some links and joints. Thus it is known that cutting processes for metals are not accepted in machine shop well, but they have a lot of merits for cutting processes, for example. drilling, tapping. and engraving etc., because of the characteristics of their high degree of freedom. The temptation of cutting aluminium was carried out to investigate the feasibility and the limitations or constrains for cutting metals on them. First the mode shapes of 6-axes FANUC welding robot were taken and analysed, and next the cutting processes were practically carried out on it. The results of study were found out to show the feasibility of cutting processes at end-milling under 6mm of tool diameter. as well as to have some limitations and constrains, for examples, surface roughness and feed rate, depth of cut, cutting force etc..

The study on dual arm robot manipulator which consists of two 6-DOF srms and one 2-DOF torso is introduced. This dual arm robot manipulator is designed for automation of assembly process in automotive manufacturing line. Each industrial 6-DOF arm can be used as a stand-alone type of industrial robot manipulator with 6-DOF and as a manipulator part of dual arm robot at the same lime. These structures help the robot maker willing to succeed in emerging market of dual arm robots have the high competitive power for the current industrial robot market and the emerging market of dual arm robot at the same time. The research results of the design concept, workspace analysis and the PC-based controller will be introduced.

An improved robust control law is proposed for uncertain rigid robots. The uncertainty is nonlinear and (possibly fast) time-varying. Therefore, the uncertain factors such as imperfect modeling, friction, payload change, and external disturbances are all addressed. Based on the possible bound of the uncertainty, the controller is constructed. For uncertain flexible-joint robots, some feedback control terms are then added to the proposed robust control law in order to stabilize the elastic vibrations at the joints. To show that the proposed control laws are indeed applicable, the stability study based on Lyapunov function, a singular perturbation approach, and simulation results are presented.

In this paper, an analysis on a new robot manipulator developed for the side buffing of the shoes is presented. The robot manipulator is composed of five degrees of freedom. An analysis on the forward and inverse kinematics was performed. Through the analysis, an analytic solution was derived for the joint angles corresponding to the position and orientation of the tool in the Cartesian coordinates. The hardware system of the robot composed of the control system, input/output interface system, and related electronic system was developed. The communication system was also developed to interact the robot with the related surrounding systems. A graphic user interface(GUI) program including the forward/inverse kinematics, control algorithm, and communication program was developed using visual C++ language.

산업용으로 주로 쓰이던 로봇이 인간의 생활에 밀접하게 다가오면서 인간과 로봇의 활동공간의 공유가 늘어가고 있다. 이로 인하여 접하는 시간이 증대되어 인간과 친밀한 인터페이스 구현에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 이와 관련하여 지능형 로봇에 있어 음성시스템은 필수적이다. 최근 통신분야와 관련하여 음성인식과 음성합성의 기술이 급속히 발전하고 있으나, 음성인식에 있어 현재 헤드？을 이용하거나 마이크로폰에서 약 30cm정도 떨어진 거리에서 음성을 인식하는 것이 일반적이며, 그 이상의 거리에서나 잡음이 존재하는 실제 환경에서 인식률이 급격히 떨어져 이동롯봇과 같은 실용시스템과의 접목하는 기술이 부족한 상황이다.(중략)

최근 국가의 10대 신성장 동력산업에 포함 되어 있는 RT(robot technology)는 향후 포스트 반도체산업의 중요한 산업으로 국내 경제를 활성화 시키는 원동력이 될 것으로 전망된다. 이와 더불어 향후에는 현재의 산업용 로봇이 아닌 감각과 지능을 가진 인간친화적인 로봇이 출현할 것으로 기대된다. 즉 주변 환경을 인지하여 정보를 획득하고 지능적 판단, 행위 및 상호작용을 통하여 인간을 지원하는 지능형 로봇은 인간과의 상호작용을 통하여 감성을 이해하며 서비스 제공, 인간의 동작이나 작업을 지원 그리고 위험작업 수행, 인간이 불가능한 작업을 대신 할 수 있을 것이다.

비선형 시스템에 대한 $Η_{\infty}$ 제어 이론은 에너지 소진(energy dissipation) 개념을 기초로 개발되어 왔다. 에너지 소진을 이용한 비선형 $Η_{\infty}$ 제어기는 외란과 성능 벡터 사이의 $L_2$게인의 비를 일정이하로 만드는 방법으로 설계되고, 그 적용을 위해서는 헤밀턴 자코비 부등식의 해를 구하는 것이 필수적이지만, 일반적으로 헤밀턴 자코비 부등식의 해를 구하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 운동방정식을 변형하여 헤밀턴 자코비 부등식의 해를 구하기 쉬운 형태, 즉 비선형 행렬 부등식으로 표현하고, 운동 방적식을 구성하는 행렬의 각 항들이 한계가 존재한다는 것을 이용하여 그 부등식의 근사해를 구하였다.

In this paper, we propose a novel manipulator intended for the needs of telerobotic micromanipulation. We designed an original manipulator capable of performing fine motion with an accuracy greater than $2{\mu}m$, while remaining simple in design and easy in control. Preliminary calculations of manipulator accuracy have been conducted, and the device has been designed and manufactured accordingly. The accuracy of the proposed manipulator has been verified during the series micro-positioning experiments under different types of controllers, and the results proved that the manipulator is suitable for micromanipulation applications as a part of telerobotic system. The proposed manipulator has been compared to existing analogues by several parameters, and both its advantages and disadvantages have been discussed.
