Topology optimization is an effective scheme to obtain the initial design concept: however, it is hard to apply in case of non-linear or multi-objective problems. In this study, a modified topology optimization method is proposed to generate a structure of a swing arm type actuator satisfying maximum compliance as well. as maximum stiffness using the multi-objective optimization. approach. The multi-objective function is defined to maximize the compliance in the direction of focusing of the actuator and the second eigen-frequency of the structure. The design of experiments are performed and the response surface functions are formulated to construct the multi-objective function. The weighting factors between conflicting functions are determined by the back-error propagation neural network and the solution of multi-objective function is acquired using the genetic algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to develop improved boom structures with reliable fatigue strength of weldment and lower production cost. For that purpose, multi-body dynamic analysis was performed to evaluate forces acting on arm & boom cylinders and joints of boom structure during operation of an excavator for three working postures, then stress analysis was made to investigate stress distribution around diaphragms at the bottom plate of boom structures which was known to be susceptible to fatigue failures of welded joints, and finally boom structures with optimum arrangement of diaphragms was proposed. This work mainly consists of the following two parts: part 1 focuses on multi-body dynamic analysis of excavators during operation and part 2 includes evaluations of fatigue strength of welded joints for modified boom structures.

초내열합금 625 튜브의 제조에 필요한 원심주조품의 두께에 따라 응고조직과 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 10, 17, 50 mm 두께로 원심주조한 625합금에서 두께의 증가에 따라 주상정 부분의 길이와 2차 수지상 간격이 약간 증가하였으나 상온 인장특성은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 주상정 부분의 응고는 일방향응고의 형태로 응고가 진행되기 때문에 일방향응고 조건을 변화시켜 2차 수지상의 간격을 비교하여 각 두께의 주조품에서 응고속도를 계산하였다. 두꺼운 주조품일수록 내부 다결정 조직의 비율이 증가하였다. 다결정 부분의 인장특성은 주상정 부분의 평균값과 유사한 값을 보였으며 이는 2차 수지상의 간격보다 결정립 형태의 영향인 것으로 사료된다.

Industrial robot has played a central role in the production automation such as welding, assembling, and painting. There has been, however, little effort to the application of robots in machining work(grinding, cutting, milling, etc.) which is typical 3D work. The machining automation requires a high stiffness robot arm to reduce deformation and vibration. Conventional articulated robots have serially connecting links from the base to the gripper. So, they have very weak structure for he machining work. Stewart Platform is a typical parallel robotic mechanism with a very high stiffness but it has a small work space and a large installation space. This research proposes a new machining robot arm with a double parallel mechanism. It is composed of two platforms and a central axis. The central axis will connect the motions between the first and the second platforms. Therefore, the robot has a large range of work space as well as a high stiffness. This paper will introduce the machining work using the robot and design the proposed robot arm.

현재 휴머노이드 로봇기술은 로봇의 제작과 기술의 구현에만 초점이 맞추어져 있으며, 로봇 개발을 위한 분석, 설계, 구현, 통합 등의 개발 메커니즘들에 대한 개방화된 방법론은 개발되어 않았다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 나타난 휴머노이드 로봇의 문제점을 극복하고, 미래형 로봇의 발전방향인 "개방화", "네트워크화", "모듈화" 개념을 만족하는 새로운 구조를 설계하기 위한 인간 팔의 형태학적 신경학적 모델을 제시하고 이를 기반으로 로봇의 각 관절 설계와 기구학적 모델에 의한 휴머노이드 로봇 팔의 설계 방법을 제시하였다.

This paper describes the design of a two-axis force sensor with two step plate beams for measuring forces in an upper-limb rehabilitation robot. The two-axis force sensor is composed of a Fz force sensor and a Ty torque sensor. The Fz force sensor measures the force applied to a patient's arm pushed by a rehabilitation robot and the force of patient's arm. The Ty torque sensor measures the torque generated by a patient's arm motion in an emergency. The structure of sensor is composed of a force transmitting block, two step plate beams and two fixture blocks. The two-axis force sensor was designed using FEM (Finite Element Method), and manufactured using strain-gages. The characteristics test of the two-axis force sensor was carried out. as a test results, the interference error of the two-axis force sensor was less than 1.24%, the repeatability error of each sensor was less than 0.03%, and the non-linearity was less than 0.02%.

This paper presents the development of a specialized underwater leg with a manipulator function(convertible-to-arm leg) for the seabed walking robot named CRABSTER200(CR200). The objective functions of the convertible-to-arm leg are to walk on the seabed and to work in underwater for precise seabed exploration and underwater tasks under coastal area with strong tidal current. In order to develop the leg, important design elements including the degree of freedom, dimensions, mass, motion range, joint structure/torque/angular-speed, pressure-resistance, watertight capability and cable protection are considered. The key elements of the convertible-to-arm leg are realized through concept/specific/mechanical design and implementation process with a suitable joint actuator/gear/controller selection procedure. In order to verify the performance of the manufactured convertible-to-arm leg, a 25bar pressure-resistant and watertight test using a high-pressure chamber and a joints operating test with posture control of the CR200 are performed. This paper describes the whole design, realization and verification process for implementation of the underwater convertible-to-arm leg.

This paper presents the results of a study on the control system for an underwater manipulator controlled by a master arm through LED communication. The underwater manipulator was designed to be actuated by electric motors with six degrees of freedom for operation in various underwater environments. The master arm, which can remotely control the manipulator, was designed with a structure similar to the manipulator for convenient control. An underwater LED communication system was developed to communicate between the master arm and underwater manipulator. An integrated control program was developed that included data conversion, monitoring, datalogging, and filtering. Some experiments were performed to verify the performance of the developed control system of the master arm, manipulator, and LED communication system, and the results are presented.
