This paper describes the optimal home positioning algorithm of Eclipse-II, a new conceptual parallel mechanism for motion simulator. Eclipse-II is capable of translation and 360 degrees continuous rotation in all directions. In unexpected situations such as emergency stop, riders have to be resituated as soon as possible through a shortest translational and rotational path because the return paths are not unique in view of inverse kinematic solution. Eclipse-II is man riding. Therefore, the home positioning is directly related to the safety of riders. To ensure a least elapsed time, ZYX Euler angle inverse kinematics is applied to find an optimal home orientation. In addition, the subsequent decrease of maximum acceleration and jerk values is achieved by combining the optimal return path function with cubic spline, which consequently reduces delivery force and vibration to riders.

The kinematics with the instantaneous motion and statics of a manipulator has generally been proven algebraically. The algebraic solutions give very simple and straightforward results but the solutions do not have any meaning in physics or geometry. Therefore it is not easy to extend the algebraic results to design or control a robotic manipulator efficiently. Recently, geometrical approach to define the instantaneous motion or static relation of a manipulator is popularly researched and the results have very strong advantages to have a physical insight in the solution. In this paper, the instantaneous motion and static relation of a planar manipulator are described by geometrical approach, specifically by an axis screw and a line screw. The mass center of a triangle with weight and a perpendicular distance between the two screws are useful geometric measures for geometric analysis. This study provides a geometric interpretation of the kinematics and statics of a planar manipulator, and the method can be applied to design or control procedure from the geometric information in the equations.

In this study, we developed control system for stable teleoperation of supermicrosurgical robot platform. The supermicrosurgical robot platform is designed to perform precise anastomosis with micro vessels ranging from 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm. The robotic assistance could help more precise manipulation then manual surgery with the help of motion scaling and tremor filtering. However, since the robotic system could cause several vulnerabilities, control system for stable teleoperation should be preceded. Therefore, we first designed control system including inverse kinematics solver, clutch error interpolator and finite state machine. The inverse kinematics solver was designed to minimized inertial motion of the manipulator and tested by applying orientational motion. To make robot slowly converges to the leader's orientation when orientational error was occurred during clutch, the SLERP was used to interpolate the error. Since synchronized behavior of two manipulators and independent behavior of manipulator both exist, two layered finite state machines were designed. Finally, the control system was evaluated by experiment and showed intended behavior, while maintaining low pose error.

The ball-shaped mobile robot, so called ballbot has single point contact on ground and low energy consumption in motion because of the reduced friction. In this paper, a new ballbot is presented, which has omnidirectional mobile platform inside of it as a driving system. Thus the ballbat has omnidirectional mobility without nonholonomic constraints. Kinematics and inverse kinematics of the ballbat is derived also in this paper.

The casing oscillator is a construction equipment to clamp, oscillate and push a casing for foundation work. In case that the casing oscillator is operated on the slant ground, if another construction heavy equipment is not used, it is impossible to insert the casing in ground using only casing oscillator. So in this paper, we present the new casing oscillator that need not to level the ground for work of casing insertion. This mechanism can execute 4 DOF motion by actuating 5 single - rod hydraulic cylinders. The inverse kinematics analysis of the casing oscillator is performed and we verify the validity of kinematics analysis through the experiment.

The Master-Slave manipulator is the generally used remote handling equipment in the hot cell, in which the high level radioactive materials such as spent fuels are handled. To analyze the motion and to implement the training system by virtual reality technology, the simulator for M-S manipulator using the computer graphics is developed. The parts are modelled in 3-D graphics, assembled, and kinematics are assigned. The inverse kinematics of the manipulator is defined, and the slave of manipulator is coupled with master by the manipulator's specification. Also, the virtual workcell is implemented in the graphical environment which is the same as the real environment. This graphic simulator of manipulator can be effectively used in designing of the maintenance processes for the hot cell equipment and enhance the reliability of the spent fuel management.

The human hand is a complex structure that performs various functions for activities of daily living and occupations. This paper presents a literature review on the methodologies used to evaluate hand functions from a biomechanics standpoint, including anthropometry, kinematics, kinetics, and electromyography (EMG). Anthropometry describes the dimensions and measurements of the hand. Kinematics includes hand movements and the range of motion of finger joints. Kinetics includes hand models for tendon and joint force analysis. EMG is used on hand muscles associated with hand functions and with signal-processing technology.

Dynamic motion difference between normal subjects and low-back pain (LBP) patients has been investigated in terms of kinematic variables such as range of motion, velocity and acceleration of the back and hip. Ten healthy subjects and ten LBP patients were recruited in this study. Electro-goniometer such as Lumbar Motion Monitor and Hip Monitor have been used for quantitative measurement of the trunk motion during repetitive flexion and extension for ten seconds. Results indicated that the velocity and acceleration of the back and hip were important parameters to quantitatively identify LBP patients. The consistency of cyclic trunk motion and the relationship between the back and hip were measured in terms of Variance Ratio and Phase Angle in order to accurately assess the motion characteristics of LBP patients. In particular, the hip motion has been proven to be a very important factor in describing the kinematics of damaged lower back. The functional evaluation technique suggested in this study will be a tool to assist physicians for an accurate diagnosis and timely rehabilitation along with current image diagnosis techniques.

HILS(Hardware In the Loop Simulation)를 이용한 소형 무인항공기 개발은 비용과 시간을 줄이면서 무인항공기의 신뢰성을 높이는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다. 또한, 실제 비행 중에 발생할 수 있는 비행제어컴퓨터의 사용 불능상태 등을 고려한 시뮬레이션을 개발과정에 반영하면, 인명 및 재산상 피해 등의 위험을 감소시킬 수 있다. 이러한 HILS를 적용하기 위해서는 실제 비행 조건과 유사한 환경을 제공할 수 있는 실시간 시뮬레이션 환경이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 6자유도 모션테이블을 이용하여 소형 무인항공기용 실시간 HILS 환경을 구축하였다. 선행연구에서 개발된 6자유도 모션테이블을 실시간으로 HILS 환경과 연동하기 위하여, 동작 알고리즘을 위치제어 방식에서 속도제어 방식으로 변경하여 설계 하였다. 또한, 모션테이블의 실시간 동작을 확인하기 위해 역기구학 및 동작 시뮬레이션 모델을 Matlab $Simulink^{(R)}$에서 모델링하고 검증하였다.

This paper presents a fast and practical motion synthesis algorithm for massive number of quadruped animals. The algorithm constructs so called speed maps that contain a set of same style motions but different speed from a single cyclic motion by using IK(Inverse Kinematics) solver. Then, those speed maps are connected each other to form a motion graph. At run time, given a point trajectory that obtained from user specification or simulators, the algorithm retrieves proper speed motions from the graph, and modifies and stitches them together to create a long seamless motion in real time. Since our algorithm mainly targets on the massive quadruped animal motions, the motion graph create wide variety of different size of characters for each trajectory and automatically adjusted synthesized motions without causing artifact such as foot skating. The performance of algorithm is verified through several experiments
