Robotic arms have been widely utilized in various labor-intensive industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and food services, contributing to increasing productivity. In the development of industrial robotic arms, camera sensors have many advantages due to their cost-effectiveness and small sizes. However, estimating object positions is a challenging problem, and it critically affects to the robustness of object manipulation functions. This paper proposes a method for estimating the 3D positions of objects, and it is applied to a pick-and-place task. A deep learning model is utilized to detect 2D bounding boxes in the image plane, and the pinhole camera model is employed to compute the object positions. To improve the robustness of measuring the 3D positions of objects, we analyze the effect of lens distortion and introduce a false positive filtering process. Experiments were conducted on a real-world scenario for moving medicine bottles by using a camera-based manipulator. Experimental results demonstrated that the distortion removal and false positive filtering are effective to improve the position estimation precision and the manipulation success rate.

The purpose of study to know hand function in order to prevent disability or handicap. The ability to perform precise refined movements of hand is an important human function. Improvement in object manipulation is common goal of therapist. The ability to manipulate an object in the hand is need for many functional tasks, including writing, handling coins, small objects and ADL skills. Therapists have commonly used hand grip and pinch strengths as baseline measures to evaluate hand function. The patterns of grasps are precision grasp, power grasp, hook grasp, spherical grasp, sylindrical grasp, disc grasp, pinch, three point pinch and tip pinch. And the motion of in-manipulation are finger to palm translation, palm to finger, shift, simple rotation and complex rotation. The hand function are include to evaluate of ROM, sensation, muscle strength of hand. It used to evaluate of decision of effect and suppose of disability and acceptance of vocation. Good evaluation is need to pretreatment and baseline of treatment and help to evaluate of effect on treatment.

In this paper, we explore the issues of force display in the cooperative virtual environment shared by multiple users distributed over the network with heterogeneous hardware platforms. The proposed method is to cope with the problem of small time delay and the difference of sampling rate in the distributed configuration. In the proposed approach the interaction forces of the participants are just treated as the independent sources of acceleration. Thus the action of a participant simply changes the acceleration of the virtual object and consequently the states of the virtual object will be updated. When the updated states are reported to all the participants, the information on the time of state changes is delivered, too. Employing the discrete state information updated by the other users, each user modifies his own virtual environment and pseudo-realtime simulation can be realized. Excluding the software interface and the communication technique, it is proposed the simulation method for the operation of respective users and the way of calculating the driving input to the display device. For experimental verification we construct a cooperative virtual environment shared by two remote users and outline the results of experiments.

The ability of the robot gripper to handle a wide range of objects significantly impacts its operational effectiveness. Among the robot grippers commonly used, the economically feasible choice is the relatively simple structure of a parallel gripper. To perform more densely packed tasks with a parallel gripper, it should be capable of handling small objects. Therefore, this study designs a parallel gripper mechanism equipped with assisting grippers to ensure smooth grasping of small objects. The parallel gripper is designed using a rack and pinion gear system, with two additional grippers on both side, and these assisting grippers are designed to be detachable. The two assisting grippers have different type of tip to grasp thin fabric shapes and thin stick shapes. The gripper prototype is used to verify the grasping capabilities for shapes achievable with a conventional parallel gripper and those intended for grasping with the assisting grippers through grasping experiments. Consequently, by equipping a conventional parallel gripper with assisting grippers as in this study, it becomes capable of handling a broader range of objects, in addition to its existing functionality.

가정에서 사람을 보조하기 위해 이동과 작업이 모두 가능한 모바일 매니퓰레이터의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 크기가 작고 낮은 가격으로 구성할 수 있는 모바일 매니퓰레이터를 개발하기 위해 모바일 로봇에 탑재할 수 있는 소형 매니퓰레이터 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발한 매니퓰레이터는 4자유도를 가지며, 끝단에 그리퍼와 카메라를 부착하여 물체의 인식과 인식한 물체에 대한 작업 수행이 가능하다. 개발한 매니퓰레이터는 수직 방향의 선형 이동이 가능하여 상대적으로 높이 위치한 사람의 손에 물건을 전달하거나 협업을 수행하는 데 유리하다. 개발한 매니퓰레이터의 4자유도 동작을 위한 4개의 액츄에이터를 매니퓰레이터의 베이스에 가깝게 배치하고 매니퓰레이터의 회전 관성을 줄임으로써 매니퓰레이터의 작업 중 안정성을 높이고 모바일 매니퓰레이터의 전복 위험을 낮추었다. 개발한 매니퓰레이터의 끝단에 위치한 카메라에서 RGB 영상을 획득하고 영상처리를 통해 물체를 인식하여 목표한 위치로 옮기는 픽 앤 플레이스 동작을 시험하였으며 로봇의 작업영역(workspace) 내에서 성공적으로 동작함을 확인하였다.

The vacuum-cleaner had made the burden of house chore lighten but the operation labour of a vacuum-cleaner had been so severe. Recently, the cleaning robot was producted to perfectly solve the cleaning labour of a house but it also was not successful because it still had a problem of mess-cleaning, which is the clean-up of big trash and the arrangement of newspapers, clothes, etc. The cleaning robot is to just vacuum dust and small trash and has no function to arrange and take away before the automatic vacuum-cleaning. For this reason, the market for the cleaning robot is not yet built up. So, we need a design method and technological algorithm of new automatic machine to solve the problem of mess-cleanup in house. In this paper, a Home Mess-Cleanup Robot(HMR), which has a practical function of the automatic mess-cleanup, is developed. It need functions of agile automatic navigation, novel manipulation system for mess-cleanup. The automatic navigation system has to be controlled for the full scanning of living room, to recognize the absolute position and orientation of the self, the precise tracking of the desired path, and to distinguish the mess object to clean-up from obstacle object to just avoid. The manipulation system, which is not needed in the vacuum-cleaning robot, must have the functions, how to distinguish big trash to clean from mess objects to arrange, how to grasp in according to the form of mess objects, how to move to the destination in according to mess objects and arrange them. Then, it should be an intelligent system so that the mess cleaning task can be autonomously performed in a wide variety of situations and environments. It need to also has the entertainment functions for the good communication between the human and HMR. Therefore, the Home Mess-cleanup Robot with Entertainmental Human Interface is developed in this paper. Finally, the good performance of the designed machine, HMR'4, is confirmed through the results of the mess clean-up and arrangement.

디지로그 북(Digilog book)은 기존 서적과 디지털 콘텐츠을 융합함으로써, 아날로그적 감성과 디지털 오감을 함께 제공하는 증강현실기반 차세대 출판물이다. 디지로그 북을 저작할 수 있는 저작 소프트웨어인 아틀렛(ARtalet)은 증강현실 환경에서 3 차원 사용자 인터페이스를 이용한 직관적인 In-Situ 저작 환경을 제공한다. 본 논문은 디지로그 북에 증강된 3D 객체에 이동 경로를 생성하고 조작 할 수 있는, 아틀렛 저작 환경 기반의 이동 궤적 편집 기법을 제안한다. 구체적으로 이동 궤적의 조정점(Control point)을 적절히 할당하기 위해서 3차원 조작도구의 이동 좌표에 대하여 조정점 할당 검사를 한다. 그리고 부드러운 곡선 형태로 이동 궤적을 복원하기 위해서 스플라인을 이용한 보간 과정을 수행한다. 또한 작고 밀집된 이동 궤적의 조정점을 효과적으로 선택하기 위해서 동적 스코어(Score)를 기반으로 한 조정점 선택 방법을 적용한다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법은 기존 방법에 비해 오차와 완료시간은 유의한 차이가 없었지만, 조정점의 수를 약 90% 이상 감소시킬 수 있었다. 이것은 매우 적은 수의 조정점만으로도 이동궤적을 복원할 수 있으며 추후 이동 궤적 조작에 필요한 조정점의 조작 횟수를 대폭 줄일 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 제안한 방법은 기존의 조정점 조작 방법에 비해 상대적으로 적은 손과 팔의 움직임만으로도 빠르게 이동 궤적의 형태를 변경 할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 3D 객체의 이동 궤적 편집 방법은 몰입형 In-Situ 증강현실 환경의 교육, 게임, 디자인, 애니메이션, 시뮬레이션 등의 분야에서 드로잉 또는 곡선 편집 방법으로 응용될 수 있다.

3D/가상환경 애플리케이션을 위한 3D 인터랙션에 관한 연구는 이동(navigation), 선택(selection), 조작 (manipulation), 시스템 제어(system control)와 같은 기본적인 4가지 형태의 상호작용으로 정의하고 광범위하게 연구되어 왔으며, 일반적으로 현실세계나 가상환경에서 작은 물체라도 상호작용하기에 적합한 기술로 여겨져 왔다. 그러나 이러한 비직관적인 상호작용 방법은 최근 산업계에서 필요시 되고 있는 가상 훈련이나 가상 디자인/사용성 평가 시스템과 같이 사용자가 도구나 장치를 사용하여 간접적으로 물체를 조작해야 하는 비직관적인 상호작용 방법이 아닌, 자신의 손으로 직접 물체를 만지거나 조작할 수 있는 직관적인 상호작용 방법이 필요한 고품질, 고정밀 애플리케이션을 지원하기에는 적합하지 않은 방법이었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 직관적이며 자연스러운 상호작용을 지원하기 위한 방법으로 고정밀 핸드 조작과 사실적 역.촉감을 제공하는 장갑형 핸드 인터페이스 장치 및 햅틱 장갑 장치와 6자유도 햅틱 장치로 구성된 핸드 햅틱 인터페이스를 제시하고자 한다.
