In this paper, a family of decentralized adaptive controller is proposed to control robot manipulators which are governed by highly nonlinear dynamic equations. The controller is computationally efficient since it does not require mathematical model or parameter values of the manipulators. The stability of the manipulators with the controller is proved by Lyapunov theory. The results of numerical simulations show that the system is stable, and has excellent trajectory tracking performance.

This survey paper presents a review of control methods for redundant robot manipulators. Use of redundant degree of freedoms by local and global optimization techniques are described in terms of the Jacobian matrix equation for the redundant robot manipulators. Relevant problems for further use of redundant robot manipulators are then discussed.

In this paper, we discuss the force control of flexible manipulators. Since the force control of flexible manipulators with planar one or two links using the distributed-parameter modeling has been the subject of a considerable number of publications until now, real time computations of the force control schemes are possible. But, application of those control schemes to multi-link spatial manipulators is fairly complicated. In this paper, we apply a concise hybrid position/force control scheme for a flexible manipulators. We use a lumped-parameter modeling for the flexible manipulators. The Hamilton's principle is applied to derive the equations of motion for the system and then, state-space model is obtained by the Lagrange's method. Finally, comparison of simulation results with experimental results is given to show the performance of our method.

In this paper we discuss the control scheme on cooperative control of two flexible manipulators working in 3D space. We propose a control scheme which consists of hybrid position/force control and vibration suppression control. Hybrid position/force control is extended from the scheme for two cooperating rigid manipulators to that for flexible ones. in addition to the control vibration suppression control based upon a lumped-mass-spring model of the flexible manipulators is applied. To illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme we show experimental results. in the experiment a rigid object is handled by two cooperating flexible manipulators in 3D space.

Optimal design of fault-tolerant, spatial type redundant manipulators is treated in this paper. Design objective is to guarantte three degree-of -freedom translational motions in the task space, upon failure of one arbitrary joint of 4 degree-of-freedom manipulators. Noticing the nonfault-tolerant characteristics of current, wrist-type industrial manipulators, five different fault-tolerant spatial-type manipulators which have 4 degree-of-freedom structures with one joint redundancy are suggested. Faault-tolerant character-sitics of two redundant manipulators anr investigated based on the analysis of the self-motion and the null-space elements. Finally, in order to maximize the fault-tolerant capability, optimal design is performed for a spatial-type manipulator with respect to the global isotropic index, and the performance enhancement of the optimized case is shown by simulation.

A modeling of the dynamics of two cooperating robot manipulators doing assembly job such as peg-in-hole while coordinating the payload along the desired path is proposed. The system is uncertain due to the unknown mass and moment of inertia of the manipulators and the payload. To control the system, a robust control algorithm is proposed. The control algorithm includes fuzzylogic. By the fuzzy logic, the magnitude of the input torque of the manipulators is controlled not to go over the hardware saturation with keeping path tracking errors bounded.

We propose an integral sliding mode control for robot manipulators guaranteeing that sliding motion exists starting from an initial time. Also, we prove the asymptotic stability for robot manipulators using three important properties in the robot dynamics: skew-symmetry, positive-definiteness, and boundedness of robot parameter matrices. From illustrative examples, we show that the proposed method effectively controls for robot manipulators.

A number of performance measures have been proposed for the quantification of dexterity for kinematically redundant manipulators. The use of such measures is especially important for kinematically redundant manipulators since they can satisfy the subtasks such as singularity avoidance and obstacle avoidance in addition to satisfying a specification of end-effector motion. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of performance measures proposed up to date are compared through simulations under the same environment. Besides, a new dexterity index for manipulators with multiple degrees of redundancy is proposed and shown to be effective through the simulation.
