This study aims for determination of cutting work envelope of an articular robot for H-beam cutting. The robot has its own work envelope. The cutting of piece with groove requires the specific position of the torch which contracts the work envelope. This study suggested the new method to determine the cutting work envelope for this case. The method simplified the problem by use of the combination of inverse kinematics and forward kinematics. The method was used for cutting the H-beam with groove. The cutting work envelope was determined easily. The result was verified by 3D simulation system which implements the articular robot with 6 axes and the H-beam in the virtual shop.

This study is a step in developing the sliding mode control methodology for the robust control of a class of nonlinear time-varying systems. The methodology uses in its idealized form piecewise continuous feedback control, resulting in the state trajectory "sliding" slong a time-varying sliding surface in the state space. This idealized control law achieves perfect tracking. The method is applied to the control of a two-link manipulator handling variable loads in a flexible manufacturing system environment with noise. The result through simulation is that the tracking problem of articular robot with high precision can be realized by using the variable structure system (VSS) theory. The motions of articular robot were insensitive to various payloads. payloads.

Many human-body motions such as walking, running, jumping, etc. require a significant amount of power. To achieve a high power-to-weight ratio of the humanoid robot system, this paper proposes a new design of the bio-mimetic leg mechanism resembling musculoskeletal system of the human body. The hip joints of the system considered here are powered by 5 human-like bi-and mono-articular muscles, and the joints of knee and ankle are redundantly actuated by both bi-articular muscles and joint actuators. The kinematics for the leg mechanism is derived and a kinematic index to measure force transmission ratio is introduced. It is demonstrated through simulation that incorporation of redundant muscles into the leg mechanism enhances the power of the mechanism approximately 2 times of the minimum actuation.

부족한 노동력 해소와 유질 및 유량의 향상을 위해서 5축 다관절 매니퓰레이터와 착유컵 착탈 시스템 및 영상처리 시스템을 이용한 로봇 착유시스템을 개발하였으며, 착유우 실험을 통해 시스템 성능분석 및 착유량에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 1. 착유컵 장착시간은 최소 17초, 최대 38초, 평균 27초가 소요되었으며, 이는 착유성능에 영향이 없을 것으로 판단되었다. 착유컵 탈락은 약 1초 내에 유두에서 탈락하는 것으로 나타나 착유작업에 지장을 주지 않을 것으로 판단되었다. 2. 로봇 착유시스템을 이용한 착유량은 평균 착유량은 7.5 kg으로 나타났으며, 주간 착유량의 표준편차는 0.7 kg으로 나타났다. 비유곡선을 이용한 착유량 분석도 로봇 착유시스템에 의한 착유 시 착유량에 큰 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 로봇 착유시스템은 착유컵 착탈 성능과 착유량에 미치는 영향에 관한 것으로 착유실내의 모든 착유작업을 수행하기 위해서는 착유전 유두세척, 유두 마사지 및 전처리 공정과 착유우 후처리 및 소독 공정이 모두 필요한 사항이며, 앞으로 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
