In this paper, a fully geometrical method for the determination of the workspace of a 6-DOF parallel manipulator is presented using the concept of 4-bar linkage. The reachable and dexterous can be determined from the proposed algorithm. In order to evaluate the workspace, each leg is considered as an open chain, and two kinematic constraints are developed. The proposed method is verified by simulation.

A new 6-DOF parallel haptic device is proposed. Many existing haptic devices require large power due to having floating actuator and also have small workspaces. The proposed new mechanism can generate 6-DOF reflecting force. This device is relatively light by employing non-floating actuators and has large workspace. Kinematic analysis and kinematic optimal design is performed for this mechanism. Dexterous workspace, global isotropic index, and global maximum force transmission ratio are considered as kinematic design indices. To deal with such multi-criteria optimization problem. composite design index is employed. For the given operational specifications, actuator sizing for this mechanism is also carried out.

In this paper we present a cleaning robot system for an autonomous mobile robot. Our robot performs goal reaching tasks into unknown indoor environments by using sensor fusion. The robot's operation objective is to clean floor or any other applicable surface and to build a map of the surrounding environment for some further purpose such as finding the shortest path available. Using its cleaning robot system for an autonomous mobile robot can move in various modes and perform dexterous tasks. Performance of the cleaning robot system is better than a fixed base redundant robot in avoiding singularity and obstacle. Sensor fusion using the clean robot improves the performance of the robot with redundant freedom in workspace and Map-Building. In this paper, Map-building of the cleaning robot has been studied using sensor fusion. A sequence of this alternating task execution scheme enables the clean robot to execute various tasks efficiently. The proposed algorithm is experimentally verified and discussed with a cleaning robot, KCCR.

This article investigates kinematic characteristics of a Sch$\ddot{o}$nflies motion generator which represents a mechanism having translational three Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) and rotational one-DOF motion about a fixed axis. The mechanism consists of the base plate and the moving plate, and four identical limbs connecting them. Each limb employs two revolute joints (RR), one parallelogram (Pa), and two revolute joints (RR) from the base plate to the moving plate. The mechanism is driven by four actuators which are placed on the base plate to minimize dynamic loads. It is shown through simulations that the mechanism can be designed to secure large dexterous workspace and thus has very high potential for actual applications such as haptic devices and high-speed requiring tasks such as pick-and-place operations, riveting, screwing tasks, etc.

이동매니퓰레이터란 이동로봇과 작업로봇을 직렬로 결합하여 이동능력과 작업능력을 가지는 로봇이다. 이동매니퓰레이터의 중요한 특징중의 하나는 잉여의 자유도를 가진다는 것이다. 이를 이용하여 이동매니퓰레이터는 여러 가지 모드로 이동이 가능하고 다양한 작업을 수행할 수 있다. 이동매니퓰레이터는 고정베이스 구조의 로봇에 비해 넓은 작업공간과 특이자세 회피 및 장애물 회피에서 더 좋은 성능을 가진다. 두 대의 로봇이 협동하여 작업을 수행할 때 주어진 작업공간에서 여유자유도를 가지고 있는 이점을 이용하여 작업의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문은 이동매니퓰레이터가 수행되어질 작업을 세분화 시키고 로봇의 작업 성능 지수를 사용하여 로봇이 최적자세로 작업을 수행할 수 있는 연구를 하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 검증하기위해 이동매니퓰레이터를 제작하였고, 실험에 사용한 이동매니퓰레이터 PURL-II는 3자유도를 가지는 이동로봇과 5자유도를 가지는 작업로봇으로 구성되어 있다.
