The paper presents the motion editor for the robotic movement in the study. The Motion Editor can edit all motions which we want to need. This method is easy when the beginners edit to motions of robots. And let them have interesting in robot control. This paper proposes two methods to edit movements. First, we edit the robot's movement in VB environment, and then we use the Motion Editor to make it. Finally, we compared merit and defect with two methods. Indeed, it is convenient when we use the Motion Editor.

This paper presents an $H_\infty$controller synthesis based on disturbance observer for the trajectory control of a hydraulic excavator. Compared to conventional robot manipulators driven by electrical motors, hydraulic excavator have more nonlinear and coupled dynamics. In particular, the interactions between an excavation tool and the materials being excavated are unstructured and complex. In addition, its operating modes depend on working conditions, which make it difficult to not only derive the exact mathematical model but also design a controller systematically. In this study, the approximated linear model obtained through off-line system identification is used as nominal plant model for a disturbance observer. A disturbance observer based tracking controller which considers the effect of disturbance and model uncertainty is synthesized in $H_\infty$frameworks. Simulation results are used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed control scheme.

There is an opinion of regarding a simple fuzzy logic controller as a kind of Variable Structure Controller in recent years. The opinion may provide an analytical basis which describes the robustness to uncertainty and the stability of a fuzzy logic controller. So in this paper, a fuzzy logic controller based on the Variable Structure System with is designed for a robot manipulator which is a class of complex, nonlinear system with uncertainty. Fuzzy control rules, membership shape of the I/O variables of the fuzzy logic controller are designed for guaranteeing the stability of an overall control system. From a computer simulation of dynamic control of a two link robot manipulator, the design procedure of the fuzzy logic controller is validated.

Active compliance is often used in the control of robot manipulators for the implementation of complex tasks such as assembly, multi-finger fine motion, legged-vehicle adaptive control,etc. This technique balances the interactive force between the manipulator tip and its working environment with its position and velocity errors to achieve the operation of a damped spring. This paper investigates the effecft of passive compliance on system stability with regard to force feedback implementation for actively compliant motion. Usually it is understood that accurate position control require a stiff system. However, theoretical examination of control experiments on a legged suspension vehicle suggests that, if the control includes discrete-time force feedback, some passive compliance is necessssary at the legs of the vehicle for system stability. This can be an important factor to bl considered in manipulator design and control. A theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental result, confirming the above conclusion, are introduced in this paper.

A mathematical approach to solving the time-varying obstacle avoidance problem is pursued. The mathematical formulation of the problem is given in robot joint space(JS). View-time concept is used to deal with time-varying obstacles. The view-time is the period in which a time-varying obstacles. The view-time is the period in which a time-varying obstacle is viewed and approximated by an equivalent stationary obstacle. The equivalent stationary obstacle is the volume swept by the time-varying obstacle for the view-time. The swept volume is transformed into the JS obstacle that is the set of JS robot configurations causing the collision between the robot and the swept volume. In JS, the path avoiding the JS obstacle is planned, and a trajectory satisfying the constraints on robot motion planning is planned along the path. This method is applied to the collision-free motion planning of two SCARA robots, and the simulation results are given.

In recent years the neural network known as a sort of the intelligent control strategy is used as a powerful tool for designing control system since it has learning ability. But it is difficult for neural network controllers to guarantee the stability of control systems. In this paper we try connecting a radial basis function network to an adaptive control strategy. Radial basis function networks are simpler and easier to handle than multilayer perceptrons. We use the radial basis function network to generate control input signals that are similar to the control inputs of adaptive control using linear reparameterization of the robot manipulator. We adopt the saturation function as an auxiliary controller. This paper also proves mathematically the stability of the control system under the existence of disturbances and modeling errors.

This paper studies the decentralized position/force control problem for constrained reconfigurable manipulator without torque sensing. A novel joint torque estimation scheme that exploits the existing structural elasticity of the manipulator joint with harmonic drive model is applied for each joint module. Based on the estimated joint torque and dynamic output feedback technique, a decentralized position/force control strategy is presented. In order to solve the problem of controller parameter perturbation, the non-fragile robust technique is introduced into the dynamic output feedback controller. Subsequently, the stability of the closed-loop system is proved using the Lyapunov theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. Finally, two 2-DOF constrained reconfigurable manipulators with different configurations are applied to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme in numerical simulation.

In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy sliding mode controller for a robot manipulator with passive joints. A robot manipulator with passive joints which is not equipped with actuators is a kind of underactuated systerms. The control of underactuated manipulators is more difficult than that of fully-actuated ones. Though the sliding mode control technique has a robust charocteristics to prrarreter uncertainties and external disturbances, the chattering phenomena becorne one of the major problems in application to the real plant. plant.

This two-part paper presents a control method that allows for stable interaction of a robot manipulator with environment. In part 1, we focus on the input output relationships (unstructured modeling) of the robot and environment dynamics. This analysis leads to a general condition for stability of the robot and environment taken as a whole. This stability condition, for stable maneuver, prescribes a finite sensitivity for robot and environment where sensitivity of the robot (or the environment) is defined as a mapping forces into displacement. According to this stability condition, smaller sensitivity either in robot or in environment leads to narrower stability range. In the limit, when both systems have zero sensitivity, stability cannot be guaranteed. These models do not have any particular structure, yet they can model a wide variety of industrial and research robot manipulators and environment dynamic behavior. Although this approach of modeling may not lead to and design procedure, it will allow us to understand the fundamental issues in stability when a robot interacts with an environment.

This paper proposes a prefilter type velocity compensating control system using modified chaotic neural networks for the trajectory control of robotic manipulator. Since the structure of modified chaotic neural networks(MCNN) and neurons have highly nonlinear dynamic characteristics, MCNN can show the robust characteristics for controlling highly nonlinear dynamics like robotic manipulators. For its application, the trajectory controller of the three-axis robot manipulator is designed by MCNN. The MCNN controller acts as the compensator of the PD controller. Simulation results show that learning error decrease drastically via on-line learning and the performance is excellent. The MCNN controller showed much better control performance and shorter calculation time compared to the RNN controller, Another advantage of the proposed controller could by attached to conventional robot controller without hardware changes.
