In general, a remotely operated vehicle(ROV) operates at deep sea. The control system of ROV is composed of two local loops; the first loop placed on the surface vessel monitors and manipulates the attitude of the ROV using joystick, and the second part on the ROV automatically controls thrusters and acquires positional data. This paper presents a position control simulation of a ROV using an adaptive controller and discusses the control effects of two different conditions. The design of an adaptive control system is obtained by the application of a self-tuning controller with the minimization of an appropriate cost function. The parameters of the control system are estimated by a recursive least square method(RLS). In the simulation, a Runge-Kutta method is used for the numerical integration and the generated outputs are obtained by adding measurement errors. Additionally, this paper discusses the mathematical modelling of a ROV and make a survey of control systems.

The distance between objects and a service robot can be measured by stereo vision system, but the two cameras need the same number of image grabber boards. In this paper, an approach to measure the distance is presented by using one camera which moves horizontally via motor position control. Images are captured at two different places where we know, and distance calculation is performed with the images and the camera position data. With a simple algorithm the proposed system requires only one image grabber board and no camera sequence controls are necessary, which resuces the system costs.

In general, the control of robot arms falls into two board categories (position control and force control). The joint interpolated trajectory schemes generally interpolate the desired joint path by a class of polynomial functions and generate a sequence of time based control set points for the control of a manipulator from a initial location to its destination. A digital position controller was designed and adapted to the industrial balancing manipulator. And also, the joint interpolated trajectory using 3rd order polynomial was generated in this study. The IBM PC used as the main controller and the trajectory planner had enough run-time capabilities. The 8097BH microcontroller is an integral pan of the joint controller which directly controls an axis of motion. The PI servo control system to treat each joint of the robot arm as a independent joint servo mechanism had satisfying performance, and a sequence of time-based intermediate configurations of the manipulator hand showed good continuity and smoothness on position and velocity of the manipulator's joint coordinates along the trajectory.

It has recently shown that a solenoid valve can be utilized in a hydraulic position-control system by discontinuous control methods. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of solenoid valves on the response characteristics of a hydraulic position-control system by applying two kinds of discontinued control methods i.e., Simple On-Off (SOF) and Pusating On-Off(POF) controls. Three types of solenoid valves i.e. low-frequency, closed-center type (LF/C), high-frequency, closed-center type (HF/C), low-frequency, tandem-center type(LF/T) were used in this study. Effects of loading conditions and control parameters on the response characteristics were experimentally examined and compared each other. Pressure transients within the actuator were also studied.

The purpose of this study was to identify vital capacity (VC) in relation to the changing position of 19 patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and 20 normal controls. Among the 19 SCI patients, there were 9 quadriplegics and 10 paraplegics. The vital capacity was measured in each subject during sitting, standing, lying, and head down position of 30 degrees. The data were analysed by the Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test. For the SCI, significant difference of VC accoring to the 4 positions between quadriplegics and paraplegics. In the control group, significant difference of VC according to the 4 positions. In 4 positions the VC of men were significantly larger than that of women between two groups. No statistical significant difference was shown in VC by the postural change between quadriplegics and paraplegics.

Speed and torque controls of permanent magnet synchronous motors are usually attained by the application of position and speed sensors. However, speed and position sensors require the additional mounting space, reduce the reliability in harsh environments and increase the cost of a motor. Therefore, many studies have been peformed for the elimination of speed and position sensors. This paper investigates a novel speed sensorless control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The proposed control strategy is based on the MRAS(Model Reference Adaptive System) using the state observer model with the current error feedback and the magnet flux model as two models for the back-emf estimation. The proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation and experiment.

Control of a robot manipulator in contact with the environment is usually conducted by the direct feedback control using a force-torque sensor or the indirect impedance control. In these methods, however, the control algorithms become complicated and the performance of position and force control cannot be improved because of the mechanical properties of the passive components. To cope with such problems, redundant actuation has been used to enhance the performance of position control and force control. In this research, a Double Actuator Unit (DAU) is proposed, with which the force control algorithm can be simplified and can make the robot ensure the safety during the external collision. The DAU is composed of two actuators; one controls the position and the other modulates the joint stiffness. Using this unit, it is possible to independently control the position and stiffness. The DAU based on the planetary gears is investigated in this paper. Performance using the DAU is also verified by various experiments. It is shown that the manipulator using this mechanism provides better safety during the impact with the environment by reducing the joint stiffness appropriately on detecting the collision of a manipulator.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of implant stability measuring devices depending on the location of the implant and the position of the patient. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Six implants were installed in different dentate sextants of six artificial bone models. Implant stability was measured in three conditions of the bone model (without mounting on a phantom head, mounted on a phantom head in supine position, and mounted on a phantom head in upright position). A resonance frequency analysis device (Osstell) and two damping capacity analysis devices (Periotest and Anycheck) were used to measure implant stability. The values measured outside the phantom head were treated as controls, and the values inside the phantom head were compared using an independent t-test. RESULTS. Osstell showed different results in two of the six divisions in both the supine and upright positions compared to outside of the mouth (P < .05). Periotest showed different results in all six parts in the supine position and in five parts in the upright position compared to outside of the mouth (P < .05). While Anycheck showed different results in five areas in the supine position compared to outside of the mouth, it showed different results in only one area in the upright position (P < .05). CONCLUSION. In the difficult implant position for the operator to access, the implant stability measuring devices show less reliability. The accessibility of implant is greatly affected in the order of Osstell, Anycheck, and Periotest.
