Construction Automation as a way to solve the problems of lack of skilled labor by decrease in construction population productivity and quality decrease. We are on the way to develop a construction automation system adequate for domestic circumstances in Korea; it is called RCA(Robotic-crane based Construction Automation) system. Climbing hydraulic robot system is a part of RCA system and makes Construction Factory(CF) climb next floor. The controller can control movement needs to be developed for CF safety. Synchronous control the actual field was applied to the controller logic and synchronous control of the process through which the safety has been verified. The purpose of this study that control of climbing hydraulic robot system behavior on real-time, and to improve safety for overall construction automation system through synchronous motion controller.

Agricultural automation has become more and more important by environmental change. The automation demands the highest technology due to the ever changing various conditions in agriculture system. In the paper, semi-autonomous pesticide spray robot system has been developed for rose farming in the glass house. The robot is in autonomous mode during pesticide spraying process driven on pipe rail. The robot is manually driven while moving from a rail to the next rail. The drive platform and autonomous operation control system are developed based on IT fusion technology. The pesticide spray system is also developed with nozzles and booms for precision mist spray system. Experimental data of nozzle test is also included.

In this paper, a robot automation technology for chemical tank lorry unloading is presented. Handling chemical coupler between tank lorry and ACQC system may be hazardous or toxic to human operators, therefore robot automation is essential. Due to tight tolerance between couplers, even small pose error may result in very large internal force. In order to resolve the problem, compliance between male and female couplers should be introduced with 6-axis compliance device with F/T sensing. The proposed robot automation system consists of a collaborative robot, 6-ax is compliance device with F/T sensing, linear gripper, and robot vision. The position/force control algorithm and experimental results for assembling chemical couplers are presented.

A robot automation system for coating uniformly a big radiator used in PPS(Packaged Power Station), which consists of 6-axis robot with spray gun, travelling vehicle, supply device of coating paint and thinner with pressured air, HMI controller and robot path OLP(Off-Line Programming), was developed. Experimental results on an optimum operation condition show that a coating thickness is $43{\mu}m$, which is satisfied to a design reference of $25-100{\mu}m$. A productivity of the developed coating robot automation system based on OLP is about 12.6 times of that of manual operation.

This paper describes the performance index of mobile robot and development of testbed which is used to evaluate the index. The developed testbed has rectangular structure similar to a living room of home. It is semi-automation testbed system for evaluation of cleaning performance index. This system is composed with scattering and cleaning equipment of test materials, equipment rifting of objects in inner space and sides itself, vision processing system. To be consistent of performance evaluation of cleaning robot, we make use of camera in this system for the sake of measurement of robot s mobility, path and suction quantity.

A dual purpose robot automation system is developed for both arc welding and spot welding by one robot within a cell. The need for automation of both arc welding and spot welding processes is urgent while the production volume is not so big as to accommodate separate stations for the two processes. Also, space is too narrow for separate stations to be settled down in the factory. A spot welding robot is chosen and the functions for arc welding are implemented in-house at cost of advanced functions. For the spot welding, a single pole type gun is used and the robot has to push down the plate to be wolded, which causes the robot positioning error. Therefore, position error compensation algorithm is developed. The basic functions for the arc welding processes are implemented using the digital I/O board of robot controller, PLC, and A/D conversion PCB. The weaving pattern is taught in meticulously by manual teach. A fixture unit is also developed for dual purpose. The main aspects of the system is presented in this paper especially in the design and implementation procedure. The signal diagrams and sequence logic diagrams are also included. The outcome of the dual purpose welding cell is the increased productivity and good production stability which is indispensable for production volume prediction. Also, it leads to reduction of manufacturing lead time.

In this study, we describe a new approach to real-time implementation of working path control for the forging and casting manufacturing process by vertical type articulated robot system. The proposed control scheme is simple in structure, fast in computation, and useful for real-time control of factory automation based on robot system. Moreover, this scheme does not require any accurate parameter information, nor values of the uncertain parameters and payload variations. Reliability of the proposed controller is proved by simulation and experimental results for robot manipulator consisting of arm with six degrees of freedom under the variation of payloads and tracking trajectories in Cartesian space and joint space. The vertical type articulated robot manipulator with six axes made in SMEC Co., Ltd. has been used for real-time implementation test to illustrate the enhanced working path control performance for unmanned automation of the forging and casting manufacturing process.

The need for synthetic automation is increasing in preparation for a gradual decrease in laboratory research manpower due to low birth rate and aging. In this study, the existing laboratory synthesis method is analyzed based on the systems engineering technique. Then, it led to the derivation of the system requirements for a fixed-based robot manipulator capable of recognition, decision and control. The robot is equipped with replaceable modular end-effectors and designed depending on the purpose and process of the synthesis. The robot with an end-effector was implemented as PoC(Proof-of-Concept), and the functions for pipetting automation was verified.

This paper encompasses a general technology in robot deburring automation using solid rotaing burr tools. Deburring is a cumbersome area in finishing technology, where design concept and system implementation is based on knowhows and experiences rather then theoretical development. In the field engineering it is diffcult to find a clue to where and how to start the system design. This paper presents a guide inselection of tool concept of geometry and material. Also, the concept of tool compliance system is introduced, which is one of the most important factor in robot deburring. Typical problems encountered in the field are classified into 20 categories and the solutions are suggested by the proven technology from the expertise. Special problems in polymer and diecasting areas are also briefly mentioned.
