This paper presents two methods for reducing the position error of the robot hand. The first method change the parameters of the D-H transformation using real position error. The other one calibrates the joint angle by using the datas from the known teaching points. SCARA type robot is used for verifing the validity of the proposed methods.

This paper presents a new approach to the design of adaptive control system using DSPs(TMS320C50) fur robotic manipulators to achieve trajectory tracking angles. Digital signal processors are used in implementing real time adaptive control algorithms to provide motion for robotic manipulators. In the proposed scheme, adaptation laws are derived from the improved second stability analysis based on the indirect adaptive control theory. The proposed control scheme is simple in structure, fast in computation, an suitable fur implementation of real-time control. Moreover, this scheme does not require an accurate dynamic modeling, nor values of manipulator parameters and payload. Performance of the adaptive controller is illustrated by experimental results for a SCARA robot.

In this paper, we explore real-time implementation of various dynamic control algorithms, which use the different levels of the information of the dynamics, using a SCARA type robot to show the feasibility and effectiveness of such algorithms. For these purposes, the kinematics of the SCARA type robot is anayzed and the manipulator-actuator dynamic equations based on Lagrange mechanisms are derived. Experimental results indicate that computed torque technique and iterative learning control methods perform better than classical PID control and that these algorithms can be effectively applied to controlling industrial manipulators.

In order for a robot to carry out a precise assembly task with compliant motion, a force/torque sensor is needed. The output of the cross-bar structured force / torque sensor which is used in a peg-in-hole insertion task and attached to a SCARA type robot, is analzed. First, the relationship between the sensor outputs and the force / torque components obtained by the outputs is investigated. Second, in a peg-in-hole insertion task, the sensor outputs changing with the contact position of the peg and the hole, are analyzed. Also, the relative position of the peg and the hole is obtained from the sensor outputs. The peg-in-hole insertion task is successfully executed, using a SCARA type robot with a wrist force / torque sensor manufactured in our laboratory and the compliance algorithm from the results of this paper.

A new end-effector has been devised and the problems resulted from using it with SCARA robots are discussed. The end effector has two modules: one composed of two ultrasonic motors and two encoders for controlling each finger, and the other module composed of two ultrasonic motors and two encoders for controlling the wrist. The wrist module adds two degrees of freedom to the SCARA type robot, which generally has four degrees of freedom. With independent finger actuation and touch sensors, the gripper under computer control can feedback information about part size and part presence. Ultrasonic motors with high torque and slow motion characteristics are used. The principle of ultrasonic motors is explained and the servo characteristics of ultrasonic motors are studied. They are controlled by the general motion controller (Hewlett Packard HCTL-1000) which is linked to an IBM-PC AT.

This paper shows that the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode control algorithm for a SCARA robot could reduce the chattering due to sliding mode control and is robust against a change of payload and parameter uncertainties. That is, the chattering can be reduced by changing control input for compensating disturbances into a control input by fuzzy rules within a pre-determined dead zone. The experimental results show that the chattering can be reduced more effectively by the fuzzy-sliding mode control algorithm than the sliding mode control with two dead zones. It is proved experimentally that the proposed control algorithm is robust to a change of payload. The proposed control algorithm is implemented to the SCARA robot using a DSP(board) for high speed calculations.

A contrp; suste, fpr SCARA robot is designed for implememting a robust dynamic control algorithm. this study forcuses on the use of DSPs in the design of joint controllers and interfaces in between the host cotroller and four joint controllers and in between the joint controllers and four servo drives. The mechanical body of SCARA robot and the servo drives are selected from the commercially available ones. The four joint controllers, assigned to each joint one by one, are combined into a common system through a mother board hardwarewise and through the global memeory softwarewise. The mother board is designed to connect joint controllers onto the board through the slots adopting PC/104 bus structures. And, the global memory stores the common data which can be shared by joint controllers and the host computer directly, which virtually combines the whole system into one. To demonstrate the performance and efficienty of the sytem, a robust inverse dynamic algorithm is proposed and implemented for a faster and more precise control. The robust inverse dynamic algorithm is basically derived from an inverse dynamci algorithm and a PID compensator. Based upon the derived dynamic equitions of SCARA robot, the inverse dynamic algorithm is intitially implemented within 0.3 msec of the control cycle in this system. The algoithm is found to be not accurate enough for the high speed and precision tasks due to inherent modelling errors and time-varying factors. Therefore, a variable PID algorithm is combined with the inverse dynamic algorithm to support robustness of control performance. Experimental datfor the proposed algorithm are presented and compared with the result obtained from PID and inverse dynamic algorithm.

This paper presents a new collison-free trajectory problem for SCARA robot manipulator. we use artificial potential field for collison detection and avoidance. The potential function is typically defined as the sum of attractive potential pulling the robot toward the goal configuration and a repulsive potential pushing the robot away from the obstacles. In here, end-effector of manipulator is represented as a particle in configuration space and moving obstacles is simply represented, too. we consider not fixed obstacle but moving obstacle in random. So, we propose new distance function of artificial potential field with moving obstacle for SCARA robot. At every sampling time, the artificial potential field is update and the force driving manipulator is derived from the gradient vector of artificial potential field. To real-time path planning, we apply very simple modeling to obstacle. Some simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
