This paper describes an algorithm for minimal turning complete coverage Path planning for cleaning robots. This algorithm divides the whole cleaning area by cellular decomposition, and then provides the path planning among the cells employing a flow network. It also provides specific path planning inside each cell guaranteeing the minimal turning of the robots. The minimal turning of the robots is directly related to the faster motion and energy saving. The proposed algorithm is compared with previous approaches in simulation and the result shows the validity of the algorithm.

The artificial potential field (APF) methods provide simple and efficient motion planners for practical purposes. However, these methods have a local minimum problem, which can trap an object before reaching its goal. The local minimum problem is sometimes inevitable when an object moves in unknown environments, because the object cannot predict local minima before it detects obstacles forming the local minima. The avoidance of local minima has been an active research topic in the potential field based path planing. In this study, we propose a new concept using a virtual obstacle to escape local minima that occur in local path planning. A virtual obstacle is located around local minima to repel an object from local minima. We also propose the discrete modeling method for the modeling of arbitrary shaped objects used in this approach. This modeling method is adaptable for real-time path planning because it is reliable and provides lower complexity.

In this paper, we develop a detailed full dynamic model which includes various rough terrains for 6-wheel skid-steering mobile robot based on the real experimental autonomous vehicle called Dog-Horse Robot. We also design a co-simulation for performance comparison of path tracking algorithms. The control architecture in the co-simulation can be divided into two levels. The high level control is the closed-loop control of path tracking to follow a given path, and the low level is concerned about torque control of wheel motion. The simulation using the mechanical data of the Dog-Horse Robot is performed under the Matlab/Simulink environment. We also simulate and evaluate the performance of the model based adaptive controller.

Since the marking robot draws lines by point-to-point operation, the robot's shifting path greatly affects the working time and productivity. Therefore, it is required to analyze the movement method based on the robot's motion and plan to minimize the movement time. Therefore, this study proposes a method that can optimize the robot's shifting path to minimize the working time of the marking robot. Through the results of this study, it is expected that the non-working time of the marking robot will be reduced and the efficient operation will be possible.

The hybrid control system for a wheeled mobile robot with nonholonomic constraints to perform a cluttered environment maneuver is proposed. The proposed hybrid control system consists of a continuous state system for the trajectory control, a discrete state system for the motion and orientation control, and an interface control system for the interaction process between the continuous dynamics and the discrete dynamics The continuous control systems are modeled by the switched systems with the control of driving wheels, and the digital automata for motion control are modeled and implemented by the abstracted motion of mobile robot. The motion control tasks such as path generation, motion planning, and trajectory control for a cluttered environment are investigated as the applications by simulation studies.

In robotic arc welding, the roll (rotation) of the torch about its direction vector does not have any effect on the welding operation. Thus we could use this redundant degree of greedom for the motion control of the robot manipulator. This paper presents an algorithm for the pseudo- inverse kinematic motion control of the 6-axis robot, which utilizes the above mentioned redunancy. The prototype welding operation and the tool path are also graphically simulated. Since the proposed algorithm requires only the position and normal vector of the weldine as an input data, it is useful for the CAD-based off-line programming of the arc welding robot. In addition, it also has the advantages of the redundant manipulator motion control, like singularity avoidance and collision free motion planning, when compared with the other motion control method based on the direct inverse kinematics.

In this paper, a minimum time path planning strategy is proposed for multi points manufacturing problems in drilling/spot welding tasks. By optimizing the travelling schedule of the set points and the detailed transfer path between points, the minimum time manufacturing task is realized under fully utilizing the dynamic performance of robotic manipulator. According to the start-stop movement in drilling/spot welding task, the path planning problem can be converted into a traveling salesman problem (TSP) and a series of point to point minimum time transfer path planning problems. Cubic Hermite interpolation polynomial is used to parameterize the transfer path and then the path parameters are optimized to obtain minimum point to point transfer time. A new TSP with minimum time index is constructed by using point-point transfer time as the TSP parameter. The classical genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to obtain the optimal travelling schedule. Several minimum time drilling tasks of a 3-DOF robotic manipulator are used as examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

본 논문은 협력작업을 수행하는 다중로보트의 동작결정을 지원하는 그래픽 시뮬레이션 시스템을 제안하였으며, 다중로보트 협력시스템을 위한 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어의 구성을 위하여 두가지의 문제를 제시하였다. 첫째, 다중로보트의 동작은 원하는 대상물의 경로와 대상물과의 고정관계를 만족하는 조건식을 이용하여 구하였으며, 다양하게 변하는 대상물의 경로를 이루어내는 다중로보트의 동작을 알아내기 위하여 한 대의 주 로보트의 동작을 이용하는 주-종방식 보다 로보트들의 동작 수정이 용이한 대상물의 경로를 이용하는 방식을 채택하였다. 또 하나의 문제는 로보트시스템의 환경변화에 대한 적응력을 높이고 소프트웨어 개발 부담을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 객체지향 프로그래밍 기법을 이용한 로보트 응용 프로그래밍 환경의 기본적인 객체들을 제시하였다. 다중로보트 시스템에 적용된 객체지향 프로그래밍 기법은 소프트웨어의 신뢰성과 재사용성 및 확장성 등의 장점들을 제공하며, 또한 로보트 응용 프로그래밍의 다양한 요구에 대응하기 위한 구조적 개념을 제공한다.

This paper presents a reduction method for a straight-line path error of a flexible beam deploying from a rotating rigid hub. Previous studies discussed about only vibration phenomena of flexible beams deploying from rotating hubs; however, this study investigates a vibration reduction of a rotating beam with variable length. The equation of motion and associated boundary conditions are derived for a flexible beam deploying from a rotating rigid hub, and then they are transformed to a variational equation. By applying the Galerkin method, the discretized equations are obtained from the variational equation. Based on the discretized equations, the dynamic responses of a rotating/deploying beam are analyzed when the beam end has a straight line motion. A reduction method for the trajectory error is proposed, using the average length of a rotating/deploying beam. It is shown that the proposed method is able to reduce the residual vibration of a rotating/deploying beam.
