  • Cutting process has been automated by progress of CNC and CAD/CAM, but polishing process has been depended on only experiential knowledge of expert. To automate the polishing pricess polishing robot with 2 degrees of freedom which is attached to a machining center with 3 degrees of freedom has been developed. this automatic polishing robot is able to keep the polishing tool normal on the curved surface of die to improve a performance of polishing. Polishing task for a curved surface die demands repetitive operation and high precision, but conventional control algorithm can not cope with the problem of disturbance such as a change of load. In this research, we develop robust controller using real time sliding mode algorithm. To obtain gain parameters of sliding model control input, the signal compression method is used to identify polishing robot system. To obtain an effect of 5 degrees of freedom motion, 5 axes NC data for polishing are divided into data of two types for 3 axis machining center and 2 axis polishing are divided into data of two types for 3 axis machining center and 2 axis polishing robot. To find an efficient polishing condition to obtain high quality, various experiments are carried out.

  • Robot software components can be categorized into two types; the pure S/W component and the H/W-related one. Since interface testing of the robot software component is the labour-intensive and complicated work, an effective automated testing tool is necessary. Especially it is difficult to test all types of H/W-related components because it is hard work to prepare all H/W modules related to them. This paper proposes a new simulation-based interface testing automation tool(SITAT) which generates automatically test cases for interface testing of the robot software component and executes the interface test with the generated test cases where the simulator is used for simulation of the activity of a H/W module instead of the real H/W module. This paper verifies the effectiveness of the suggested SITAT with testing of the real H/W-related robot software component.

  • Cutting process has been automated due to progress of CNC and CAD/CAM, but polishing process has been only depended on experiential knowledge of expert. Polishing work for a curved surface die demands simple and repetitive operations but requires much time for its high precision. Therefore it is operated in the handiwork by skilled worker. However the workers intend to avoid gradually polishing work because of the poor environments such as dust and noise. In order to reduce the polishing time and solve the problem of shortage of skilled workers, it has been done some research for an automation of polishing. To automate the polishing process, a 2 axes polishing robot which is attached to a 3 axes machining center has been developed by our previous research. This automatic polishing robot is able to keep the polishing tool normal on the curved surface of die. Therefore its performance of polishing is improved because of always keeping the tool normal on the surface. In this paper, the smaller sized polishing robot is developed to improve polishing performance. And the controller for 2 axes polishing robot is developed. The controller is composed of TMS320C31 with high speed which is 40-ns instruction cycle time, RAM memory with 64K words, digital input with 64 bits, digital output with 32 bits, and D/A converter with 4 channels, which is 12 bits resolution. To evaluate polishing performance of this developed robot, polishing experiment for shadow mask was carried out.

  • In this study, the automatic processing of the wing ribs of large aircraft was simulated. Specifically, in the simulation for the automatic processing of the fly ribs, the process of the automated loading device with a robot was examined, along with the wing rib processing and manufacturing automation processes. Moreover, the process time, corresponding to all the stages in the wing rib processing, was calculated. The results pertaining to the machining and manufacturing times of 34 wing ribs (Nos. 1-17), as obtained through the proposed simulation approach, indicated that the total machining time for the left and right wing ribs and rib guns was 537.7 h. The production time was calculated as 1,117.4 h. It is considered that the processing of the wing ribs of large aircraft can be automated in a factory, based on the results of the proposed simulation process.

  • This paper presents the characteristics related to needle insertion of a robotic device for the automated biopsy procedure. The automated biopsy device, a main component of the robotic needle insertion type intervention system, allows performance of the full biopsy procedure, except for anesthesia, without direct handling of a radiologist or a tele-operated control. In this study, the needle length parameters corresponding to various insertion depths and precision for needle insertion of the automated biopsy device, are discussed. There were two combinations of needle length parameters for appropriate needle insertion and motion capture-based measurement was performed; 0.156 mm error for the 90 mm length commanded insertion displacement was measured. The pre-defined goal is a maximum 1 mm error and thus our measured error is within the acceptable range. In the repeatability check, it was also shown that the device can implement a highly accurate insertion.

  • The Controller Area Network (CAN) is being widely used in real-time control applications such as automobiles, aircraft, and automated factories. Unfortunately, CAN, in its current form, is not able to either share out the system bandwidth among the different devices fairly or to grant an upper bound on the transmission times experienced by the nodes connected to the communication medium as it happens, for instance, in the token-based networks. In this paper, we present An Application Layer Design for Humanoid Robot in the CAN. Besides introducing the new algorithm, this paper also presents some performance figures obtained using a specially developed software simulator and experimentation for composition of CAN which uses JTAG mode of a parallel debugging., while the behavior of the new algorithm is compared with the traditional CAN systems. in order to see how effective they are.

  • Robot technology is a remarkably interdisciplinary research area, one that can be employed in various industrial fields as well as higher value-added fields. The construction industry, on the other hand, has been known as one of the most difficult research fields to apply robotic schemes. Therefore, applying robot technologies in the construction industry is quite a challenging topic. This paper aims to introduce the progress of automated robotic systems in construction fields, namely with respect to construction robots. While construction robots have a very wide range of application depending on the huge market size of the construction industry, there still exist a lot of problems such as highly risky working environment and inefficiency due to the labor intensive characteristic. In order to solve these problems, a variety of construction robots have been developed and, in this paper, the current state of the robotic systems for construction works and the vision of future robot technology in the construction field are introduced.

  • Control of tool-environment interaction force to comply the robot system to an environment is of vital in many automated process. This paper presents the implementation of an adaptive force control with commercial robot system in two dimensional contour following task. A model reference adaptive control system, combined with the linear compensators, is implemented. That is, a use of adaptive control is to provide an auxiliary control system so that the contour following performance can be improved from that of using linear control system only. Hyperstability is used to derive the adaptive control law. Experimental verification of the proposed control system is obtained using PUMA 560 robot system. Data obtained experimentally shows that the use of additional adaptive control system improves the contour following performance about 30% in RMS contact force errors upon that of the system controlled by the linear compensators only.

  • The logistics market is continuously growing due to the development of technology and the growth of the online market. In addition, the social atmosphere that emphasizes non-face-to-face due to the pandemic situation is accelerating the growth of logistics. Delivery of goods ordered online requires delivery process through courier worker. In order for the courier worker to ship the product, the work of loading the product on the truck must be preceded. The accident caused by such delivery and loading work is increasing and it is emerging as a social problem. This study proposes a robot-based automated loading system to efficiently handle the increasing volume of courier service and to construct a more efficient and safe working environment by replacing the physical labor that was overloaded to courier workers. The proposed system replaces the loading of the courier worker and proposes the optimal loading function through the automation system.
