This paper describes a design of the dynamic robot arm controller with two points of view, robustness and minimum tracking error. A new approach to the robust control of robot arm is developed and an explicit solution for minimum tracking error control is obtained from the regulator problem in the error space given by modifying the tracking problem. This control law is applied to the SCARA robot and the computer simulation is presented.

This paper realizes control of the motion of a swimming robot fish in order to implement an underwater robot fish aquarium. And it implements positional control of a two-axis trajectory path of the robot fish in the aquarium. The performance of the robot was verified though certified field tests. It provided excellent performance in driving force, durability, and water resistance in experimental results. It can control robot motion, that is, it recognizes an object by using an optical flow object-detecting algorithm, which uses a video camera rather than image-detecting sensors inside the robot fish. It is possible to find the robot's position and control the motion of the robot fish using a radio frequency (RF) modem controlled via personal computer. This paper proposes realization of robot fish motion-tracking control using the optical flow object-detecting algorithm. It was verified via performance tests of lead-lag action control of robot fish in the aquarium.

This paper describes a tracking control for the mobile robot based on fuzzy systems. Since the mobile robot has the nonholonomic constraints, these constraints should be considered to design a tracking controller for the mobile robot. One of the well-known tracking controllers for the mobile robot is the back-stepping controller. The conventional back-stepping controller includes the dynamics and kinematics of the mobile robot. The conventional back-stepping controller is affected by the derived velocity reference by a kinematic controller. To improve the performance of the conventional back-stepping controller, this paper uses the fuzzy systems known as the nonlinear controller. The new velocity reference for the back-stepping controller is derived through the fuzzy inference. Fuzzy rules are selected for gains of the kinematic controller. The produced velocity reference has properly considered the varying reference trajectories. Simulation results show that the proposed controller is more robust than the conventional back-stepping controller.

In this paper, a moving target tracking using a binocular vision for an omni-directional mobile robot is addressed. In the binocular vision, three dimensional information on the target is extracted by vision processes including calibration, image correspondence, and 3D reconstruction. The robot controller is constituted with SPI(serial peripheral interface) to communicate effectively between robot master controller and wheel controllers.

로봇들의 협동 작업을 위해서는 다양한 환경에서 다른 로봇들을 인식하고 추적하는 기술이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 코드북 모델과 스테레오 영상 처리를 이용하여 이동 로봇을 인식하고, 퍼지 제어기를 사용해 추적하는 이동 로봇 추적 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 먼저 코드북 모델을 사용하여 영상의 전경과 배경을 분리하였다. 분리된 전경에서 색상정보를 기반으로 관심영역을 구해내고, 스테레오 영상처리를 통해 얻은 깊이 영상을 기반으로 이동 로봇까지의 실제 거리를 추정한다. 각 거리에 따라 열림 및 닫힘 연산을 적용하고, 모듈형 로봇의 크기에 맞춰 라벨링을 통해 효과적으로 이동 로봇을 인식한다. 추출된 이동 로봇의 움직임에 따른 효과적인 추적을 위하여 스테레오 영상 처리를 통해 얻은 거리 정보와 로봇의 이동 정보를 이용해 퍼지 제어기를 설계하여 이동 로봇 추적 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안한 퍼지 추적 제어 시스템의 성능은 실제 이동 로봇의 추적 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

Automatic tracking of a moving object such as a person is a demanding technique especially in surveillance. This paper describes an experimental system for tracking a moving object on the ground by using a visually controlled aerial robot. A blimp is used as the aerial robot in the proposed system because of its locality in motion and its silent nature. The developed blimp is equipped with a camera for taking downward images and four rotors for controlling the progression. Once a camera takes an image of a specified moving object on the ground, the blimp is controlled so that it follows the object by the employment of the visual information. Experimental results show satisfactory performance of the system. Advantages of the present system include that images from the air often enable us to avoid occlusion among objects on the ground and that blimp’s progression is much less restricted in the air than, e.g., a mobile robot running on the ground.

This paper presents a method that integrates the geometric path tracking and the obstacle avoidance for nonholonomic mobile robot. The mobile robot follows the path by moving through the turning radius given from the pure pursuit method which is the one of the geometric path tracking methods. And the obstacle generates the obstacle potential, from this potential, the virtual force is obtained. Therefore, the turning radius for avoiding the obstacle is calculated by proportional to the virtual force. By integrating the turning radius for avoiding the obstacle and the turning radius for following the path, the mobile robot follows the path and avoids the obstacle simultaneously. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through the real experiments for path tracking only, static obstacle avoidance, dynamic obstacle avoidance.

This paper describes the path tracking control for a mobile robot which has two casters at the front and rear to keep balance and two driving wheels on the left and right sides of its body. Power wheeled steering method is adapted to control heading of the robot. It is very difficult to find appropriate feedback gains when linear regulator control scheme is adapted to path tracking con-trol of this type of robot. Therefore in this paper we propose the path tracking control algorithm using the fuzzy logic control scheme for this type of root. Simulation to prove the validity of the proposed two algorithms is performed. The results are reported as last part in this paper.

There are a variety of trajectory and control algorithms available for robot trajectory tracking. Before using the enhanced trajectory and control algorithms to reduce the tracking error, we introduce the new method which reduces the tracking error by clipping the joint velocity. A lot of robot trajectory tracking methods are proposed to enhance the robot tracking, but irregular tracking errors are always accompanied. Up to now, these irregular tracking errors are gradually but uniformly reduced by introducing more complicated control algorithms. It is intuitively obvious to reduce only the big errors selectively in the irregular ones for the better performance. By heuristic method, big tracking errors in these irregular ones are assumed mostly due to the fast moving of joint with respect to the same tracking and control method. So, in this paper, we introduce a new method which reduce the big tracking errors by clippings the joint velocity with the constraint of given path. Using this method, desired trajectory tracking is obtained within the far reduced error bound. Also, this method is successfully applied to generate the path-constrained error reducing trajectories for 2-axis SCARA type robot.

In this paper, a crack sealing robot is developed. The crack sealing robot is built to detect, track, and seal the crack on the pavement. The sealing robot is required to brush all dirt in the crack out for preparing a better sealing job. Camera calibration has been done to get accurate crack position. In order to perform a cleaning job, the explicit force control method is used to regulate a specified desired force in order to maintain constant contact with the ground. Experimental studies of force tracking control are conducted under unknown environment stiffness and location. Crack tracking control is performed. Force tracking results are excellent and the robot finds and tracks the crack very well.
