This paper presents a decentralized coordination for a small-scale mobile robot teams performing a task through cooperation. Robot teams are required to generate and maintain various geometric patterns adapting to an environment and/or a task in many cooperative applications. In particular, all robots must continue to strive toward achieving the team's mission even if some members fail to perform their role. Toward this end, given the number of robots in a team, an effective coordination is investigated for decentralized formation control strategies. Specifically, all members are required first to reach agreement on their coordinate system and have an identifier (ID) for role assignment in a self-organizing way. Then, employing IDs on individual robots within a common coordinate system, a decentralized neighbor-referenced formation control is realized to generate, keep, and switch between different geometric shapes. This approach is verified using an in-house simulator and physical mobile robots. We detail and evaluate the formation control approach, whose common features include self-organization, robustness, and flexibility.

In this paper we propose a path planning method for an autonomous mobile robot based on genetic algorithms(GAs). There have been a number of methods proposed for the path planning of a mobile robot. However, few algorithms have been developed for an on-line path planning of a mobile robot with the uncertain information of a task environment. Therefore, we propose a path planning algorithms based on GAs that has ability of creating path planning without the perfect information of a task environment and an ability of planning the efficient path by on-line process. Then we show a possibility of the practical use with the results of simulations and experiments.

This paper presents a design experience of a control language for coordination of a multi-robot system. To effectively program job commands, a Petrinet-type Graphical Robot Language(PGRL) is proposed, where some functions, such as concurrency and synchronization, for coordination among tasks can be easily programmed.In our system, the proposed task commands of PGRL are implemented by employing formal model languages, which are composed of three modules, sensory, data handling, and action module. It is expected that by using our proposed PGRL and formal languages, one can easily describe a job or task, and hence can effectively operate a complex real-time and concurrent system. The control system is being implemented by using VME-based 32-bit microprocessor boards for supervisory, each module controller(arm, hand, leg, sensor data processing module) and a real time multi-tasking operating system(VxWorks).

The present study is devoted to the development of a simplified teaching method whereby the control data of the 3-dimensional operations of a playback-type trial robot can be stored in a personal computer. The control data of the 3-dimensional operations are given using an instruction wand handled by an operator. The operator's task is only to track a desired robot path with the wand. The 3-dimensional position of the wand are measured by ultrasonic devices, the principle of which was developed for this study and is introduced in detail. In order to clarify the applicability of this method, experts were performed with respect to a continuous-path teaching and a pick-and-place task teaching which are typical jobs of robot operators.

This paper proposes a simple and high performance hybrid position/force control of robots based on disturbance compensation by using the disturbance observer in task coordinate space. The disturbance observer linealizes system of robot manipulators in task coordinate space and realizes acceleration control. To realize the strict acceleration control, the disturbance observer whose input is a position signal by simple computation, works as if it were a disturbance detector. The inverse kinematics can be simplified, because the disturbance observer in task coordinate space compensates not only the disturbance but also the error due to the simplification of the inverse kinematics. The new strategy is applied to a three-degrees-of freedom direct drive robot. The robust and simple hybrid position/force control is realized experimentally.

홈서비스로봇은 지능적으로 인간과 상호작용하고 스마트하게 서비스를 제공하기 위해 주변 환경에 대한 충분한 공간정보를 파악하고 있어야 한다. 따라서 인간과 로봇이 공조하여 맵빌딩을 수행할 경우 보다 효율적으로 태스크를 수행하기 위한 상호작용 방식에 대해 연구할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 우선 청소용 로봇의 맵빌딩 태스크를 분석하여 맵빌딩수순(태스크우선/방우선), 표시창 설치(본체/본체+리모컨), 로봇 유도방식(푸쉬방식/풀방식), 피드백 제시양식 (GUI/GUI+TTS)등 4 가지 디자인 요인을 추출하고 그에 대한 잠정적 해결안을 제시하였다. 디자인 요인과 잠정적 해결안을 실험 변인과 수준으로 정의하고 맵빌딩 태스크의 수행도와 행태에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 파악하였다. 이를 위해 총 8종류의 실험용 프로토타입을 제작하고 16명의 가정주부를 대상으로 사용성 평가를 실시하여 실증적인 데이터를 수집하였다. 실험결과 맵빌딩 수순이라는 측면에서는 예상과 같이 태스크우선 방식보다는 방우선 방식에서 우수한 태스크 수행도를 보였다. 표시창 설치라는 디자인 요인에 대해서는 리모컨에 표시창이 부착되어 있는 경우 높은 작업수행도와 주관적 만족도를 나타냈다. 로봇 유도방식 측면에서는 예상과는 달리 풀방식과 푸쉬방식 사이에서 태스크 수행도에 큰 차이를 발견할수 없었고 오히려 푸쉬방식에 대한 높은 주관적 만족도를 나타냈다. 피드백 제시양식에 대한 분석결과에서도 예상과 달리 TTS에 의한 부가적인 조작지침 제시는 부정적 이라는 사실을 발견하였다. 맵빌딩을 통해 환경정보를 취득하기 이전 청소용 로봇의 자율성은 초보적인 상태이기 때문에 사용자는 단지 이동성이 있는 가전제품과 상호작용하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 총체적으로 보아 전통적인 가전제품을 조작할 때 사용되는 리모컨기반 상호작용방식을 청소용 로봇의 빌빌딩 과정에서도 선호하는 것으로 보인다.

This paper describes a dynamic robotic assembly system in which an industrial robot executes peg-in-hole task in a moving state. As an effective means to synchronize the end-effector of the robot with the moving conveyor this work uses a control algorithm which is essentially a PID position control scheme combined with velocity feedforward loop. A RCC wrist is used for the inserting task and its force responses are investigated for various tracking conditions and inserting velocities through a series of experiments.

In this paper we present a cleaning robot system for an autonomous mobile robot. Our robot performs goal reaching tasks into unknown indoor environments by using sensor fusion. The robot's operation objective is to clean floor or any other applicable surface and to build a map of the surrounding environment for some further purpose such as finding the shortest path available. Using its cleaning robot system for an autonomous mobile robot can move in various modes and perform dexterous tasks. Performance of the cleaning robot system is better than a fixed base redundant robot in avoiding singularity and obstacle. Sensor fusion using the clean robot improves the performance of the robot with redundant freedom in workspace and Map-Building. In this paper, Map-building of the cleaning robot has been studied using sensor fusion. A sequence of this alternating task execution scheme enables the clean robot to execute various tasks efficiently. The proposed algorithm is experimentally verified and discussed with a cleaning robot, KCCR.
