The purpose of this study was the development of a multi-joint robot manipulator for milking robot system. The multi-joint robot manipulator was controlled by 5 drivers with driver controller through the position information obtained from the image processing system. The robot manipulator to automatically attach each teat cup to the teats of a milking cow was developed and it's motion was accurately measured with error rate. Results were as follows. 1. Maximum errors in position accuracy were 4mm along X-axis, 4.5mm along Y-axis and 0.9mm along Z-axis. Absolute distance errors were maximum 4.8mm, minimum 2.7mm, and average 3.6mm. 2. Errors of repeatability were maximum 3.0mm along X-axis, 3.0mm along Y-axis, and 0.5mm along Z-axis. Distance error values were maximum 3.2mm, minimum 2.2mm, and average 2.5mm. It is envisaged that multi-joint robot manipulator can be applicate to milking robot system being developed in consideration of the experiment results.

The purpose of this study was kinematics analysis of the multi-joint robot manipulator for an automatic milking system. The multi-joint robot manipulator was consisted of one perpendicular link and four revolution links to attach simultaneously four teat cups to four teats of a milking cow. The local coordinates of each joints on the robot manipulator was given for kinematics analysis. The transformation of manipulator was able to be given by kinematics using Denavit-Hatenberg parameters. The value of inverse kinematics which was solved by two geometric solution methods. The kinematics solutions was verified by AutoCAD, MATLAB, simulation program was developed using Visual C++.

In order to not only perform as a extreme model under the severe operating condition but also acquire more diverse and advanced control capability utilizing high compliance, active vibration control of a flexible 2-link robot manipulator are investigated. Multi variable-structured frequency shaped optimal sliding mode is proposed for the flexible robot manipulator like control system, whose control variables, an angular motion of joint and vibration of flexible link, have to be controlled simultaneously by one control torque at a driving joint. The control system is divided into two subsystems, a control input related subsystem and an added subsystem. The proposed sliding mode, composed of multi control variables, makes optimized relation between subsystems and a individual control input, thus, the sliding mode controller can compensate whole dynamics of each subsystems simultaneously. And the possibility and effectiveness are verified by vibration control of a manipulator having two flexible links. Simulation and experiment results show that the proposed control scheme achieves the purpose effectively.

Robot manipulator has highly nonlinear dynamics. Therefore the control of multi-link robot arms is a challenging and difficult problem. In this paper an independent joint adaptive fuzzy sliding mode scheme is developed leer control of robot manipulators. The proposed scheme does not require an accurate manipulator dynamic model, yet it guarantees asymptotic trajectory tracking despite gross robot parameter variations. Numerical simulation for independent joint control of a 3-axis PUMA arm will also be included.

This paper presents a decentralized adaptive control scheme for multi-Joint robot manipulators based on the independent joint control scheme. The control object is to achieve accurate tracking of desired Joint trajectories. The proposed control scheme does not use the complex manipulator dynamic model, and each joint is controlled simple by a feedback controller which ensure stable and also a position-velocity-acceleration feedforward controller and also auxiliary signal, with adjustable gains. Simulation results are given for a two-link manipulator under independent control, proposed decentralized adaptive control of manipulator is feasible. In spite of a pay load variation and strong static and dynamic couplings that exist between the joints.

Control of multi-link robot arms is a challenging and difficult problem because of the highly nonlinear dynamics. Independent joint adaptive scheme is developed for control of robot manipulators based on Sugeno-type of fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic system is used to approximate the coupling forces among the joints, coriolis force, centrifugal force, gravitational force, and frictional forces. The proposed scheme does not require an accurate manipulator dynamic, and it is proved that closed-loop system is asymptotic stable despite the gross robot parameter variations. Numerical simulations for three-axis PUMA robot are included to show the effectiveness of controller.

An adaptive control scheme has been recognized as an effective approach for a robot manipulator to track a desired trajectory in spite of the presence of nonliearity and parameter uncertainty in robot dynamics model. In this paper, an adaptive control scheme for a robot manipulator is proposed to design robust controller using model reference adaptive control technique and hyperstability theory but it does away with] assumption that the process is characterized by a linear model remaining time invariant during the adaptation process. The performance of controller is demonstrated by the simulation about position and speed control of a six-link manipulator with disturbance and payload variation.

This paper proposes a realization of robust trajectory tracking for an industrial robot by using PD-sliding mode hybrid control. The PD control has a good performance in the transient period while the sliding mode control has robustness against the system uncertainties. The proposed control method is proposed for the control of a multi-joint robot by taking advantages of both the PD and sliding mode controls. The embodiment of distributed controllers that drive 4-DOF axes has evaluated through experiments with the multi-joint robot AT1. The PD-sliding mode algorithm which is proposed in this paper shows a good performance in the transient period and robustness against disturbances and This paper shows accuracy of end-effector.

In this paper a robust control design is developed for the control of a multi-joint manipulators using sliding observer. The sliding observer is introduced to estimate the angular velocity of the links under the disturbance input. The feedback control is designed by the use of the estimated value of the angular velocity .theta.. The VSS control laws is introduced to ensure the robustness concerning the disturbance inputs. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a computer simulation is performed for a two-joint manipulator.
