  • In this paper, the network management system is implemented based on the analysis of reguirements and network operation and management for Flexible Automation. Network management is necessary, which controls and supervises the network resources in the communication network. By means of both analytical methods and queueing model, the delay time distributions due to the increasement of transmission data are obtained and analyzed. The operations of this network management system are certified through the test environments with the network adaptor and softwares for each layer.

  • A scheme of expert system based on iterative learning control is proposed. Iterative learning control can obtain control experience from the historical data to build the knowledge base of expert system. Considering some uncertain factors, a flexible measure is adopted in iterative learning control (ILC). Simulation proves the feasibility and effect of the air conditioning control expert system based on flexible iterative learning control (F-ILC). Finally, a feedback compensation unit is incorporated against irregular heavy disturbance.

  • In this paper, an extended process model is proposed for the application of flexible belt grinding equipment as utilized in robotic grinding. The analytical and experimental results corresponding to grinding force, material removal rate (MRR) and contact area in the robotic grinding shows the difference between the conventional grinding and the flexible robotic grinding. The process model representing the relationship between the material removal and the normal force acting at the contact area has been applied to robotic programming and control. The application of the developed model in blade grinding demonstrates the effectiveness of proposed process model.

  • In this paper, the mathematical model of a cut with an inverted flexible beam and a concentrated tip mass was derived. The characteristic equation for calculating the natural frequencies of the cart-beam-mass system was obtained and the motion of the system was analyzed through unconstrained modal analysis. A good positioning response of the cart without excessive vibrational motion of the tip mass could be obtained through numerical simulation using PID controller with the feedback of both the position of the cart and the deflection of the beam.

  • A class of robust control for flexible joint manipulators with nonlinearity mismatched uncertainty is designed based on Lyapunov approach. The uncertainties are unknown but their values are within certain prescribed sets. No statistic information of the uncertainties is imposed. The control which utilizes state transformation via virtual control is proposed. The resulting robust control guarantees practical stability for the transformed system and later the stability for the original system is proved. The designed robust control is implemented by experiments in a 2-link flexible joint manipulator.

  • A composite bionic soft gripper integrated with electromagnets and magneto-active elastomers is designed by combining the structure of the human hand and the snake's behavior of enhancing friction by actively adjusting the scales. A silicon-based polymer containing magnetized hard magnetic particles is proposed as a soft finger, and it can be reversibly bent by adjusting the magnetic field. Experiments show that the length, width, and height of rectangular soft fingers and the volume ratio of neodymium-iron-boron have different effects on bending angle. The flexible fingers with 20 vol% are the most efficient, which can bend to 90° when the magnetic field is 22 mT. The flexible gripper with four fingers can pick up 10.51 g of objects at the magnetic field of 105 mT. In addition, this composite bionic soft gripper has excellent magnetron performance, and it can change surface like snakes and operate like human hands. This research may help develop soft devices for magnetic field control and try to provide new solutions for soft grasping.

  • Many mid-sized companies in Korean automotive industry have attempted to solve the lack of human power, to control the quality of components, to improve the production rate, and to innovate the manufacturing line. The goals of this study are to analyze the production rate of an automotive component manufacturing line using simulation software, to construct a Flexible Automation Subassembly (FAS) system and to suggest an optimized layout design using FAS line. In this research, the simulation model for manufacturing line was developed and used the realistic data (production planning, component type, working order, process time, queue time, line rules, etc) of a medium sized company in Korean automotive industry. To complete this research, a simulation software 'ARENA' was used.
