A majority of industrial robots are controlled by a simple joint servo control of joint actuators. In this type of control, the performance of control is greatly influenced by the joint interaction torques including Coriolis and centrifugal forces, which act as disturbance torques to the control system. As the speed of the robot increases, the effect of this disturbance torque increases, and hence makes the high speed - high precision control more difficult to achieve. In this paper, the joint disturbance torque of robots is analyzed. The joint disturbance torque is defined using the coefficients of dynamic equation of motion, and for the case of a 2 DOF planar robot, the conditions for the minimum and maximum joint disturbance torques are identified, and the effect of link parameters and joint variables on the joint disturbance torque are examined. Then, a solution to the optimal path placement problem is propose that minimizes the joint disturbance torque during a straight line motion. The proposed method is illustrated using computer simulation. The proposed solution method can be applied to a class of robots that are controlled by independent joint servo control, which includes the vast majority of industrial robots.

The robustness and reliability of vision algorithms is the key issue in robotic research and industrial applications. In this paper, the robust real time visual tracking in complex scene is considered. A common approach to increase robustness of a tracking system is to use different models (CAD model etc.) known a priori. Also fusion of multiple features facilitates robust detection and tracking of objects in scenes of realistic complexity. Because voting is a very simple or no model is needed for fusion, voting-based fusion of cues is applied. The approach for this algorithm is tested in a 3D Cartesian robot which tracks a toy vehicle moving along 3D rail, and the Kalman filter is used to estimate the motion parameters, namely the system state vector of moving object with unknown dynamics. Experimental results show that fusion of cues and motion estimation in a tracking system has a robust performance.

This paper deals with the design of the digital controller for DC servo motor, and it is implemented for the cartesian coordinate 4 axes manipulator. A design method of the controller is adopted an algorithm using the digital position locked loop(DPLL) method and the linear PID control for the smooth motion. To simplify the hardware configuration of control system, 8279 keyboard/display controller, Z-80 CTC counter and 8255 PPI are used. Therefore the design method to control each motor as real-time is presented. To show effectiveness of the design, the PWM circuit and frequency/voltage converter are applied for the velocity control of robot system. When the proposed controller is applied to the 4-axes manipulator, it reveals that the error probabilities of X, Y and Z axis as 0.033%, 0.023% and 0.028% respectively.

This paper describes the controller for the improving speed control the AC servo motor. The microprocessor provides an output to the difference in command. The servo system improves the characteristics of speed control. When the motor is running at the same speed as set by the reference signal, the speed encoder also provides a signal the same frequency. Thus, the microprocessor controlled digital techniques enable to realize the flexible performance and control which was possible with time constant. We can know that PI control using neural networks by 80196 can control efficiently speed of AC Servo motor. Finally experimental results prove excellent performance of this control system. The system can be adaptable to CNC machine.

In this paper, PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) sensor system that estimates position for moving objects in 2D plane is developed. PSD sensor is used to measure the position the position of and incidence light in real-time. To get the position of light source of moving target, a new parameter calibration algorithm and neural network technique are proposed and applied. Real-time position measurements of the mobile robot with light source is examined to validate the proposed method. It is shown that the proposed technique provides accurate position estimation of the moving object.

The resolved motion rate control (RMRC) is converting to Joint space trajectory from given Cartesian space trajectory. The RMRC requires the inverse of Jacobian matrix. Since the Jacobian matrix of the redundant robot is generally not square, the pseudo-inverse must be introduced. However the pseudo-inverse is not easy to be implemented on a digital computer in real time as well as mathematically complex. In this paper, a simple fuzzy resolved motion rate control (FRMRC) that can replace the RMRC using pseudo-inverse of Jacobian is proposed. The proposed FRMRC with appropriate fuzzy rules, membership functions and reasoning method can solve the mapping problem between the spaces without complexity. The mapped Joint space trajectory is sufficiently accurate so that it can be directly used to control redundant manipulators. Simulation results verify the efficiency of the proposed idea.

A new method for the determination of camera system rotation and translation from in 3-D space using recursive least square method is presented in this paper. With this method, the calculation of the equation is found by a linear algorithm. Where the equation are either given or be obtained by solving five or more point correspondences. Good results can be obtained in the presence if more than the eight point. A main advantage of this new method is that it decouple rotation and translation, and then reduces computation. With respect to error in the solution point number in the input image data, adding one more feature correspondence to required minimum number improves the solution accuracy drastically. However, further increase in the number of feature correspondence improve the solution accuracy only slowly. The algorithm proposed by this paper is used to make camera system rotation and translation easy to recognize even when camera system attached at end effecter of six degrees of freedom industrial robot manipulator are applied industrial field.

RMFC (Resolved Motion Force Control) is the method to control the Cartesian force and position using FCC (Force Convergent Control) instead of the complicated dynamic equations of the manipulator. The gain parameters of the controller are adjusted through many trial and errors. In this paper PD-optimal control method is introduced to give optimal gain parameters which minimize the difference between actural acceleration and desired acceleration. To show the validitiesn of the proposed method computer simulations are performed for the two-link manipulator.

The problem of establishing the servo system to reach the desired location keeping all features in the field of view and following a straight line is considered. In addition, robustness of camera calibration parameters is considered in this paper. The proposed approach is based on switching from position-based visual servoing (PBVS) to image-based visual servoing (IBVS) and allows the camera path to follow a straight line. To achieve the objective, a pose estimation method is required; the camera's target pose is estimated from the obtained images without the knowledge of the object. A switched control law moves the camera equipped to a robot end-effector near the desired location following a straight line in Cartesian space and then positions it to the desired pose with robustness to camera calibration error. Finally simulation results show the feasibility of the proposed visual servoing technique.
