The purpose of this study is to develop a Multi-joint rehabilitation system (CMRS : C&R Lab. Multi-joint Rehabilitation System). This study presents the mechanism of rehabilitation system that enables rehabilitation of multi-joint with kinematical analysis for joints of human body. Also, the relative positioning between human subjects and the head part to rehabilitate for the mechanism is based on robotics and anatomy. This study was verified with simulations. Finally, Automation of positioning was realized. Rehabilitation exercises in passive mode were enabled with the results.

In a number of fields, robots are being used for two purposes: efficiency and safety. Most robots, however, have single-actuator mechanism for each joint, where the tasks are performed with high stiffness. High stiffness causes undesired problems to the environment and robots. This study proposes redundant actuator mechanism as an alternative idea to cope with these problems. In this paper, Double-Actuator Unit (DAU) is implemented at each joint for applications of multi-link manipulators. The DAU is composed of two motors: the positioning actuator and the stiffness modulator, which enables independent control of positioning and compliance. A three-link manipulator with DAUs enables adaptive control of RCC. By modulating the joint stiffness of the manipulator and controlling the position of RCC, we can significantly reduce contact force during assembly tasks and surgical procedures.

Recently, researches on precision machining of nato-order, especially in the field of optical components and semi-conductors have been under development very actively. A accuracy of machining and positioning in a critical issue in ultra-precision machining. This paper proposes a new positioning system which can give excellent dynamic characteristics and reduce errors in horizontal, vertical, pitching, and yawing motions. In this paper, we suggest a connecting mechanism (the couplings) to reduce motion errors such as chatter and runout while preserving the positioning accuracy. We verified the good performance in the new connecting systems with various coupling types, which we classified into the fixed type, the spring type, the aeroctatic-nozzle type, and the aeroctatic-porous type according to the way of reducing the chatter and error.

This paper suggests a precision positioning control technique of a precision positioning stage with coupling effects. The precision positioning stage is supported by four flexible spring hinges and driven by two piezoelectric actuators. The dynamic characteristics of the precision positioning stage is modeled and identified by the FEM analysis. The dynamic characteristics of the stage are also identified by the frequency domain modeling technique based on the experimental data. Reliability of two modeling methods is examined by comparing the numerically and experimentally produced responses of the stage. This paper proposes a sliding mode control technique with integrator to improve the tracking ability of the precision positioning stage to the complex input signal using. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modeling schemes and control algorithm, experiment validations are performed.

This paper deals with experiments for dynamic characteristics and performance evaluation of the 3-axis fine positioning stage developed in [1]. The features of the developed fine positioning stage are the long stroke due to the magnetically preloaded PZT actuators, the minimum motion crosstalk due to the use of a ball contact mechanism and the compact design. The dynamic characteristics of the actuator and the stage are tested with the preload changed in order to validate the actuator and the stage design. Performance evaluation is also made for the PZT actuators as well as the stage positioning accuracy. Experimental results show that the developed stage is accurate enough to be used for nanometer positioning.

An aerostatic stage has frictionless behavior, so it has a advantage of investigation into driven mechanism such as ballscrew. In this paper, fur investigating positioning characteristic of ballscrew and feedback device in aerostatic stage, we compare the positioning characteristic between full-closed(laser scale) and semi-closed(encoder) system. Experimental results show that the aerostatic stage has a 10nm micro step response and repeatability is improved up to 1.00${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ using laser scale. We confirm the laser scale compensate error motion of ballscrew, so acquire 1.12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ positioning accuracy.

A new parallel gripper mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogrammic platform which can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be used to grasp an object having irregular shape or large volume, but also can be used as a micro-positioning device after grasping. Based on the position and kinematic analysis for this mechanism, this mechanism has been developed and the motion performance has been tested to corroborate the effectiveness of this mechanism.

This paper describes kinematic analysis of a 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) ultra-precision positioning stage based on a flexure hinge. The stage is designed for processes which require ultra-precision and high load capacities, e.g. wafer-level precision bonding/assembly. During the initial design process, inverse and forward kinematic analyses were performed to actuate the precision positioning stage and to calculate workspace. A two-step procedure was used for inverse kinematic analysis. The first step involved calculating the amount of actuation of the horizontal actuation units. The second step involved calculating the amount of actuation of the vertical actuation unit, given the the results of the first step, by including a lever hinge mechanism adopted for motion amplification. Forward kinematic analysis was performed by defining six distance relationships between hinge positions for in-plane and out-of-plane motion. Finally, the result of a circular path actuation test with respect to the x-y, y-z, and x-z planes is presented.

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.
