The manipulability of robot provides useful Information for the design and path planning of robots. This paper shows an influence of joint velocities to acceleration of robot end-effector using a dynamic manipulability polytope. The main idea of this paper is that the dynamic manipulability polytope of robot can be divided to three intermediate polytope, the torque-dependant polytope, velocity-dependent polytope, and gravity-dependant polytope. The velocity-dependant polytope is made from the limits of robot joint velocities while the torque-dependant polytope is made from the limits of the joint torques. Combining of these two intermediate polytopes and considering the gravity-dependant polytope, the overall dynamic manipulability polytope of robot is obtained. This investigation will be useful on the field of space robot and high-speed application.

In this paper, the instrument for scientific education in elementary school is developed with the application of basic robot technology for coming IT future world. Particularly, a kind of robot game to fun a race with each other is planed to give a motive or interest in scientific education. This robot game is played with two robots per player, One robot is moved wirelessly with a remote controller and the other robot is moved automatically with intelligence given by computer program made by a player. This game system will be in spotlight as multi-objective educational system not only to teach basic technology of IT, but also to improve the ability for logical and creative thought in elementary school students.

An intelligent polishing robot automation system is developed. Automatic Tool Change System(A.T.C.), Tool Posture Angle Control, and Robot Program for Polishing Application are developed and integrated into a robotic system that consists of a robot, pneumatic finding tool, and finding abrasives (papers and special films). A.T.C. is specifically designed to exchange whole grinding tool set for complete unmanned operation. Tool Posture Angle Control is developed to give a certain skew angle rather than right angle to tools on the surface for best finishing results. A.T.C. and Tool Posture Angle Control is controlled by a PC and the robot controller. Also, there have been some considerations on enhancing the performance of the system. Some elastic material is inserted between the grinding pad and the holder for better grinding contact. The robot path data is generated automatically from the NC data of previous machining process.

In order to overcome the conventional robot's physical limitation to frequent changes in operational requirements, it is quite appealing to modularize its system components and allow them to be combined into various configurations to best suit the needs to a particular application. Several researchers have presented the concept of modular robot. In this paper, the kinematics and dynamics of modular robot are studied, which concretes the concept of modular robot. This study includes the selection of individual module, the definition of their parameters and the development of module based manipulate. analysis software package (MBMAP).

This paper proposes the Elastic Force application on the obstacle avoidance of the Silvermate Robot. The method deals with the problem associated with the Silvermate robot driving to a goal configuration as avoiding obstacles. The initial trajectory of a robot is determined by a motion planner, and the trajectory modification is accomplished by adjusting the control points. The control points are obtained based on the elastic force approach. Consequently the trajectory of a robot is incrementally modified to maintain a smooth and adaptive trajectory in an environment with obstacles. The suggested algorithm drivers the robot to obstacle avoid in real-time. Finally, the simulation studies are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach

This paper is concerned with the application of the vision control scheme for robot's point placement task in discontinuous trajectory caused by obstacle. The proposed vision control scheme consists of four models, which are the robot's kinematic model, vision system model, 6-parameters estimation model, and robot's joint angles estimation model. For this study, the discontinuous trajectory by obstacle is divided into two obstacle regions. Each obstacle region consists of 3 cases, according to the variation of number of cameras that can not acquire the vision data. Then, the effects of number of cameras on the proposed robot's vision control scheme are investigated in each obstacle region. Finally, the practicality of the proposed robot's vision control scheme is demonstrated experimentally by performing the robot's point placement task in discontinuous trajectory by obstacle.

Currently, there are various robot programming methods for articulated robots. Although each method has merits and drawbacks, they have commonly weak points for practical application, and especially the weak point can be even more vulnerable when the robot programming requires the subtle feelings of human being. This is because the movement of a human being is synthetic while the robot programming is analytic. Therefore, the present method of programming has limits in performing these kinds of subtle robot movement. In this paper, we propose a direct robot programming method, which generates robot programs based on the force/torque vector applied to a force/torque sensor by the human operator. The method reduces the effort required in the robot programming.

Typically, robot system configured by articulated robot manipulator with 1 DOF transfer unit is being applied in automotive manufacturing automation process. Especially, 1 DOF transfer unit is necessary to extend workspace of robot manipulator. In this configuration, because transfer unit works only one direction, robot manipulator only works in one side in case of car body painting or sealing automation process. it is necessary three robot manipulator system at least. In this paper, in order to robot manipulator works effectively in car body sealing automation application, we are suggested omni-directional manipulator system and conducted studying on redundancy resolution method to solve manipulability-optimal problem.

Middleware offers function that user application program can transmit data independently of network device. Connection management about network connection of module is important for normal service of module base personal robot. Unpredictable network disconnection is influenced to whole robot performance in module base personal robot. For this, Middleware must be offer two important function. The first is function of error detection and reporting about abnormal network disconnection. Therefore, middleware need method for network error detection and module management to consider special quality that each network device has. The second is the function recovering that makes the regular service possible. When the module closed from connection reconnects, as this service reports connection state of the corresponding module, the personal robot resumes the existing service. In this paper proposed method of network connection management for to support fault tolerant about network error of network module based personal robot.

Application of the Microsoft robotics studio (MSRS) to the design of a factory safety monitoring robot is presented. Basic structures of the MSRS and the service are introduced. The service is the key building block of the MSRS. Control of the safety monitoring robot is performed using four basic services: 1) the robot service which communicates with the embedded micro-processor and other services, 2) the sensor service that notifies the subscribing services of the change of the sensor value, 3) the motor service which controls the power levels to the motors, 4) the drive service which maneuvers the robot. With built-in capabilities of the MSRS, control of factory safety monitoring robot can be more easily performed.
