This paper proposes a control strategy of position and force control in the same direction based on hybrid position/force control. In order to control position and force in the same direction, a weighting matrix is introduced instead of a selection matrix suggested by Raibert and Craig. The major part of the controller output comes from the position controller when a position control error is large, from the force controller when a position control error is large. The proposed algorithm is implemented by the simulation and experiment focusing on the peg-in-hole task where friction exist significantly and is not constant. It also adopts and event control scheme for more efficient performance.

This paper proposes the modeling of the dynamics of two cooperating robot manipulators performing the assembly job such as peg-in-hole while coordinating the payload along the desired path. The mass and moment of inertia of the manipulators and the payload are assumed to be unknown. To control the uncertain system, a robust control algorithm based on the computed torque control is proposed. Usually, the robust controller requires high input torques such that it may face input saturation in actual application. In this reason, the robust control algorithm includes fuzzy logic such that the magnitude of the input torque of the manipulators is controlled not to go over the hardware saturation while keeping path tracking errors bounded. A numerical example using dual three degree-of-freedom manipulators is shown.

This paper presents the development of real-time estimation and control details for a computer vision-based robot control method. This is accomplished using a sequential estimation scheme that permits placement of these points in each of the two-dimensional image planes of monitoring cameras. Estimation model is developed based on a model that generalizes know 4-axis Scorbot manipulator kinematics to accommodate unknown relative camera position and orientation, etc. This model uses six uncertainty-of-view parameters estimated by the iteration method. The method is tested experimentally in two ways : First the validity of estimation model is tested by using the self-built test model. Second, the practicality of the presented control method is verified in performing 4-axis manipulator's assembly task. These results show that control scheme used is precise and robust. This feature can open the door to a range of application of multi-axis robot such as deburring and welding.

In this paper, we deal with robotic automation for assembling car brake modules. A car brake module is comprises of a torque member, two brake pads, and two pad liners. In the assembly process, brake pads and pad liners are needed to be inserted in a torque member. If we use a typical robotic hand for the assembly, task time takes too long. So, we propose two methods. The first method is to use an end effector that has five grippers capable of gripping five assembly parts. In the first method we attached the implemented end effector to a conventional 6 degrees of freedom industrial manipulator and performed the bake module assembly task. Experimental results show that the task time is remarkably reduced. The brake module assembly task needs the robot to change its orientation frequently, so, in the second method, we added one degree of freedom to the end effector that is used in the first method. By attaching it to a conventional 6 degrees of freedom industrial manipulator, we composed a 7 degrees of freedom redundant manipulator. A redundant manipulator has the advantage of flexible manipulation so the robot can change its orientation easily and can perform assembly task very fast. Experimental results show that the second method dramatically reduce whole task time for brake module assembly.

A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of working posture. work/rest ration, and task type on the physical workload in automobile assembly jobs. Ten healthy male university students participated as subjects in the experiment. East subject performed 18 experimental session with combination of 3 working posture 3 work/rest ratio and 2 task types. To examine the effect of various working conditions on workload, DMG analysis was performed on 4 different muscles in the neck an arm area, Also RPE scale and heart rate were taken as response variables. The result showed that all working conditions considered in the experiment had significant effects on the workload concluding that labor intensity in auto assembly jobs should be adjusted with respect to different levels of working posture, work/rest ratio, and task type. Detailed analysis are presented in the paper.

최초의 산업용 로봇이 개발된 이래 산업 자동화의 중심에는 산업용 로봇이 있었으며 현대의 풍요로운 산업화는 자동화 장비를 통한 대량생산에 힘입은 바 크다. 산업용 로봇은 현재까지도 제조 산업에서 매우 중요한 역할을 차지하고 있으며 그 중요도는 점점 커질 것으로 예상된다. 현재의 산업용 로봇은 과거에 비해서 정밀도, 강성, 내구성측면에서 많은 발전을 이루었다. 그러나 그 외형의 측면에서는 큰 변화가 없었으며, 아직도 대부분의 사업장에서는 하나의 팔을 가진 로봇이 이용되고 있다. 이러한 하나의 팔을 가진 전통적인 싱글 암 로봇은 작업자가 두 손을 가지고 작업하는 작업장에서는 적용하기 곤란하며, 이는 산업용 로봇의 적용 범위를 제한하는 주된 이유 중의 하나임이 분명하다. 전자제품, 기계부품의 조립작업을 위해서는 인간과 같이 양팔을 가진 형태의 로봇시스템이 매우 효과적이며, 이러한 이유로 해외의 선진사를 중심으로 양팔을 가지는 제조용 로봇의 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 현재 시점에서는 상용화된 양팔로봇시스템은 소수에 불과하며, 기능적인 측면에서는 단순한 형태의 작업만이 가능하다. 그러나 기구학적 구성에 있어서 기존의 로봇과 달리 양팔구조를 가지고 있기 때문에 향후 매우 발단된 형태로 인간과 유사한 양팔 협조 작업을 수행하는 산업용 양팔로봇이 개발될 것으로 생각된다. 본 문헌에서는 현재의 제조용 양팔로봇 연구 동향을 간략히 설명하고, 한국기계연구원의 제조용 양팔로봇 시스템에 관련된 연구 내용을 소개하고자 한다.

This paper provides a systematic way of integrating human intelligence and autonomous precision of robots to achieve the highest possible performance of a cooperating robot system. Adjustable autonomy, which deals with the combination of human and robotic skills, has the potential to bridge the gap which leaves many tasks suited to robotics beyond the reach of existing technology. Especially we will show that relevant human assistance or intervention will increase system performance by improving the exception handling capability, simplifying autonomous operation, and boosting speed and reliability. To support the usefulness of our scheme, a series of experiments were conducted with three cooperating robots which work together to dock both ends of a long suspended beam into stanchions.
