There are many types of walking robots in the world. For dynamic walking of the robots it is necessary to keep its dynamic stability. The dynamic stability is influenced by the position of ZMP (zero moment point). In this paper we study the control of the ZMP position of walking robot. For experiment we developed a quadruped robot and analyzed the dynamic stability of the robot. Developed robot has 2 joints at each leg and WBO (weight balancing oscillator) on the body of the robot. The WBO is designed to move linearly from side to side when the robot walks dynamically. Walking test was performed to verify the validity of the proposed methods. Especially we showed that the dynamic stability of the robot can be improved without sacrifice of the walking speed by control the WBO.

This paper is concerned with the application of the vision control algorithm with weighting matrix in robot point placement task. The proposed vision control algorithm involves four models, which are the robot kinematic model, vision system model, the parameter estimation scheme and robot joint angle estimation scheme. This proposed algorithm is to make the robot move actively, even if relative position between camera and robot, and camera's focal length are unknown. The parameter estimation scheme and joint angle estimation scheme in this proposed algorithm have form of nonlinear equation. In particular, the joint angle estimation model includes several restrictive conditions. For this study, the weighting matrix which gave various weighting near the target was applied to the parameter estimation scheme. Then, this study is to investigate how this change of the weighting matrix will affect the presented vision control algorithm. Finally, the effect of the weighting matrix of robot vision control algorithm is demonstrated experimentally by performing the robot point placement.

In this paper, we introduce a case study of developing a miniature humanoid robot that has 16 degrees of freedom and is able to perform statically stable walking. The developed humanoid robot is 37cm tall and weighs 1,200g. RC servo motors are used as actuators. The robot can walk forward and turn to any direction on even surface. It equipped with a small digital camera, so it can transmit vision data to a remote host computer via wireless modem. The robot can be operated in two modes; One is a remote-controlled mode, in which the robot behaves according to the command given by a human operator through the user-interface program running on a remote host computer, the other is a stand-alone mode, in which the robot behaves autonomously according to the pre-programmed strategy. The user-interface program also contains a robot graphic simulator that is used to produce and verify the robot's gait motion. In our walking algorithm, the ankle joint is mainly used lot balancing the robot. The experimental results shows that the developed robot can perform statically stable walking on even surface.

The purpose of this study was to analyze student's metacognition interaction based on a robot lesson. For this research as an analytical metacognition interaction tool was utilized. The results of this study revealed that, first, elementary school students had more metacognition interaction in middle learning levels but middle school students had more in the low learning level. Second, in the low learning level, middle school students revised the initiated goal strategy of the robot lesson. Third, in all learning levels, students showed much diagnosis and assesment metacognition interaction in the robot lesson. According to this study's results, the robot lesson has a positive effect in facilitating diagnosis meta cognition for processing of task performance. These results could provide effective cues and information on how to improve the robot lesson.

Quadruped robot is very useful mechanism for a various area. Recently, home entertainment and military robots adapted quadruped platform and useful function have been introduced. Our goal is the development of quadruped robot locomotion for any type of ground included to sloping one and irregular terrain. This paper, as a first step, deals with design and construction of quadruped robot walking on the flat ground. The most important factor of quadruped robot is stability of locomotion. At first, we introduce the developed quadruped robot based on dynamic simulation and experimental study of general gait algorithm. Finally, propose unique locomotion proper to our mechanism. Future work of this study is the performance test and analysis on the ground of various conditions and proposes the improved mechanism and gait algorithm.

The purpose of this study is based on the electromagnet robot with a four-wheel drive which can climb up and down on structures of iron wall instead of human workers. Many of studies strive to develop wall riding-robots in terms of absorption system. However, the system needs additional devices too much to work out as well as electromagnetic wheel system also has much expense to make it. In this regard, this study makes efforts to find the way how to keep steady distance between wheel and wall while using general electromagnet to reduce motor load and to move robot so easily.

In this paper, we demonstrate how to design a redundant robot which is suitable for the multiple task execution without any constraints on the work space. The implementation is possible by the rigid connection of a cacro-robot and a micro-robot. A 5 d.o.f. articulated robor designed for commercial purpose is utilized as a micro-robot which can perform a general task with the appropriate adjustment of its base location. The base of a micro-robot is located at a suitable position by the macro-robot designed and implemented through this research. A task assigned to this redundant robot is performed mainly by the micro-robot. However, when the micro-robot cannot perform the task by itself or when the micro-robot has difficulties in performing the task, the coordination of the macro-robot is requited. To monitor the task execution efficiency of the micro-robot, we used the 'Manipulability Measure' as a cost function. The coordination between the two robots are verified both by the simulation and the experiment.

In this study, we try to coincide virtual robot system in an OLP(off-line programming) with actual robot system even though kinematic differences between them are made. The virtual robot in the OLP may be modeled according to kinematics of the actual robot system. However, it is a complicated problem to find exactly all kinematic parameters of actual robot and environment. In this paper, an automated calibration method is proposed In order to find some kinematical parameters which are necessary for the modeling of a robot and environment in the OLP. It is applicable to SCARA robot for assembly task. In this method, a well-marked worktable of environment Is regarded as reference coordinate frame. The robot detects some marks on the worktable through sensors attached to the end-effector. The necessary parameters are calculated from the data of the robot joint variables when the robot detects the mark. The model in the OLP is modified by the parameters.
