This paper presents a scaled teleoperation scheme for 3-D microassembly on the experimental microassembly workcell. A workspace mapping between a master and a slave microrobot system is presented to teleoperatively control the microrobot system for microassembly such as peg-in-hole task. Based on this result, a scaling factor is designed and applied to the teleoperated micromanipulation for peg-in-hole task in a mesoscale. Using 3-D virtual simulator, the workspace of microrobot system, and the working path trajectory for microassembly is visually represented. The proposed method is validated through the execution of 3-D microassembly such as peg-in-hole task on the experimental microassembly workcell. The proposed method in the developed ...

This paper proposes a remote control system that combines computer network and an autonomous mobile robot. We control remotely an autonomous mobile robot with vision via the internet to guide it under unknown environments in the real time. The main feature of this system is that local operators need a World Wide Web browser and a computer connected to the internet communication network and so they can command the robot in a remote location through our Home Page. This system offers an image compression method using motion H.263 concept which reduces large time delay that occurs in network during image transmission.

본 논문은 무선 LAN기반에서의 이동로봇에 Manipulator를 장착하고 안정된 원격 제어를 수행하였다. 원격제어는 웹 카메라 및 레이져 센서를 통해 이동로봇 주변 환경을 인식할 수 있으며, 조이스틱을 이용하여 이동로봇 및 Manipulator를 제어한다. 무선 랜 기반 원격제어 시스템은 환경조건에 따라 통신지연이 불규칙하고 통신두절의 발생가능성이 매우 높다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점이 발생할 경우 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 실시간 화상 전송에 대해 이론적이고 체제적 분석을 실시함으로써 보다 안정된 효과를 얻는다. 그리고 조작자가 이동로봇을 좀 더 안정적이고 쉽게 조작 할 수 있도록 하기 위해 힘 반영 조이스틱에 이동 로봇 주위의 장애물 정보를 반영하였다. 또한 Manipulator의 원격조정 알고리즘을 개발하여 보다 안정되게 물체를 파지 및 이동시킬 수 있다.

This paper addresses the design procedure and testing result of a servo driven pan/tilt device which is capable of tracking arbitrary movement of a specified target object. In order to achieve real-time acquisition of feedback signal, a 2 degree-of freedom non-contact type displacement follower has been employed in stead of vision camera. The performance of the designed system is tested for different target velocities and control gains. The test result shows the satisfactory performance to be adopted as an effective tool for visual transfer in the context of teleoperation.

This paper presents the development of a fuzzy controller for driving camera pan/tilt device so that the camera's viewing direction can automatically track a moving object. To achieve computational efficiency a non-contact type displacement follower is used as a feedback sensor instead of a vision camera. The displacement follower, however, is extremely sensitive to object's lighting condition and results in unstable response at high speed. To this end, a fuzzy controller is developed in such a way to provide stable tracking performance at high speed where the sensory signal is subjected to intermittant disturbances of large magnitude. The test result shows stable tracking response even for high speed and non-uniform lighting condition. The resulting camera autotracking system can be adopted as an effective tool for visual transfer in the context of teleoperation and autonomous robotics.

In this paper, we suggest tele operation system of reclaimers and some side technologies for performing easy operation. The reclaimers in the raw ore yard are being used to dig ironstone and transfer it to the blast furnaces. The side technologies are to determine the minimum stacking distance between piles, collision avoidance of reclaimers and stackers. For simplicity, the pile and the boom of the reclaimer are mathematically modeled as a cone and a line in the 3-dimensional space respectively. The minimum stacking distance is obtained using the condition that the cone and the line never met. The modeling errors for the pile and reclaimers are compensated by considering the width of their reclaimer. We have also proposed a 2-stage collision detection method for the moving machines. The reclaiming heights of the pile are set to predetermined ones to make tele-operation easy.

A force reflecting hand controller can be used to provide more realistic information to the operator of a teleoperation system such as kinesthetic feedback from a slave robot. In this paper, a new design concept of a force reflecting 6-DOF hand controller utilizing the kinematic structure of a Stewart Platform is presented. Based on the optimal design technique of a Stewart Platform, a force reflecting hand controller has been designed and constructed to verify the technical feasibility of proposed design concept. In order to provide an operator with kinesthetic feedback information, a force mapping algorithm based on a reciprocal product of screws has been introduced. Finally, the technical feasibility of the design concept has been demonstrated through some of experimental results of the device under virtual environment on a real-time graphic system.

This paper describes the design and implementation techniques of a generic Internet-based telerobotic system. The purpose is to make available the precious technical information and hands-on experience of the authors for the research community. The paper is based on the telerobotics system that the authors recently implemented between KAIST, Korea and Saga University, Japan. In its current functionality, two control modes: high-level supervisory control and low-level supervisory control are explored demonstrating their merits and demerits.

When a system is teleoperated in the indoor environment through the wireless LAN, the communication time delay that is due to the inherent characteristic and surrounding environment is random and unbounded. The time delay has a significant effect on the stability and performance of the teleoperating system. In this paper, we present the method that is the image compression, measuring time delay and switching control-mode corresponding to time delay automatically, to improve stability and performance, and the simple experiment is conducted to demonstrate the feasibility

This Paper presents some of challenges of creating feedback force, through manipulation of master manipulator, allowing the user to feel objects within a virtual environment. A sense of touch for the virtual environment. A sense of touch for the virtual environments was generated by a virtual compliance control method. In theis system data communication between the master and slave, we used TCP protocol. In the experiments. A position error between the master and slave arm was about $13.56^{\circ}$ in case that the master and slave arm had not compliance properties of the virtual object, while they have the its properties the position error reduced by $2.43^{\circ}$.
