When a robot manipulator performs some task like grinding or assembling, not only the position control but also the force control of the tools connected to the robot must be controlled. But at this time We were received the uncertainty problems of system information for the force control, for example disturbance, senor resolution and measurement noise. Therefore we proposed fuzzy logic control method instead of existing control theory for the robot manipulator control, for example PID control method. In this paper, We proposed hybrid position/force control of robot manipulator using fuzzy logic control method. To show the validity of the proposed fuzzy controller, We compared fuzzy controller with conventional PID controller.

When real robot manipulators arc mathematically modeled, uncertainties are not avoidable. The uncertainties are often nonlinear and time varying, The uncertain factors come from imperfect knowledge of system parameters, payload change, friction, external disturbance and etc. We proposed a class of robust hybrid position/force control of manipulators and provided the stability analysis in the previous work. In the work, we propose a class of adaptive robust hybrid position/force control of manipulators with bound estimation and the stability based on Lyapunov function is presented. Especially, this controller does not need the information of uncertainty bound. The simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

In this paper, a methodology of geometrical error identification and compensation for NC machine tool position. We have proposed a reference artifact with which, in measuring the coordinate system of NC machine, the robust coordinate systems are given. The coordinate system of the NC machine could be compensated successfully with the information obtained by measuring the reference artifact and our compensation algorithm. Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate coordinate referencing ability and, the uncertainties of the machine tool position is estimated and observed through the compensation process by simulation.

During the navigation of mobile robot, one of the essential task is to determination the absolute location of mobile robot. In this paper, we proposed a method to determine the position of the camera from a landmark through the visual image of a quadrangle typed landmark using neural network. In determining the position of the camera on the world coordinate, there is difference between real value and calculated value because of uncertainty in pixels, incorrect camera calibration and lens distortion etc. This paper describes the solution of the above problem using BPN(Back Propagation Network). The experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method in comparison to conventional method in the performance of determining camera position.

A motor cylinder apparatus is used to transfer a load in industrial applications. The apparatus is composed of a motor and power transmission elements such as worm gear and screw. In this case, the nonlinear friction of the transmission elements has a bad influence on the position control performance. To overcome this problem, the position control system consists of a feedback controller to achieve nominal control performance and a disturbance observer to compensate nonlinear friction. Especially the filter of a disturbance observer is designed from viewpoint of robust stability. Finally, the simulation result shows that the proposed control system is effective for the disturbance elimination as well as the friction compensation.

Multipath, a major error source in urban GNSS positioning (global navigation satellite system), pose a challenge due to its site-dependent nature, varying with the user's signal reception environment. In our previous study, we introduced a technique generating GNSS multipath map in urban canyon. However, due to uncertainty in initial GNSS positions, applying multipath maps required generating multiple candidate positions. In this study, we present an efficient method for applying multipath maps by projecting the multipath correction in position domain. This approach effectively applies multipath maps, addressing the challenges posed by urban user position uncertainties.

In general, an error budget of monopulse radar is proposed by manufacturer who assuming that all of external enviromental error resources such as multipath, glint, dynamic lag variation are removed. So until now, a measurement uncertainty of monopulse radar can be discussed including external enviromental error resources. In this paper, it is described that which kinds of error resource can effect on monopulse radar measurement uncertainty for different target property. To prove it experimentally, at first a simulation result is described assuming that all of external enviromental error resources are removed. It only includes receiver thermal noise. And then, monopulse radar measurement uncertainty estimation results tracking on calibration target which is fixed on specific position, calibration sphere which is moving slowly, weapon systems firing test which is moving fast are described quantitativly. All of these targets have different dynamic property.

This paper presents the optimal design method of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring for reduced positional uncertainty, and its application to the obstacle detection with improved resolution. Basically, it is assumed that a set of ultrasonic sensors are installed to form a circle at regular intervals with their beams overlapped. First, exploiting the overlapped beam pattern, the positional uncertainty inherent to an ultrasonic sensor is shown to be significantly reduced. Second, for an ideal ultrasonic sensor ring of zero radius, the effective beam width is defined to represent the positional uncertainty, and the optimal number of ultrasonic sensors required for minimal effective beam width is obtained. Third, for an actual ultrasonic sensor ring of nonzero radius, the design index is defined to represent the degree of positional uncertainty, and an optimal design of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring consisting of commercial ultrasonic sensors with low directivity is given. Fourth, given measured distances from ultrasonic sensors, the geometric method is described to compute the obstacle position with reference to the center of a mobile robot. Finally, through experiments using our overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring prototype, the validity and performance of the proposed method is demonstrated.

Container port nowadays becomes one of the most vital link of the transportation chain, plays an important role in trading with other countries. Therefore, evaluating the operational efficiency of container ports to reflect their status and to reveal their position in this competitive environment is very important for port development. Although there have been lots of methods used to measure efficiency in the past, the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) model is still the most commonly applied approach. However, the data used in the model sometimes is complex and uncertain to handle using the basic DEA model. In this paper, we applied an uncertainty theory to create an uncertainty DEA model (UDEA), which can solve the limitation of the traditional one. This study mainly focuses on measuring efficiency of 41 container ports by applying proposed an UDEA model. The results show that among 41 container ports, only six container ports are regarded to have efficient operation through the clustering, meanwhile others have technical and scale inefficiencies. We found out that an UDEA model is better to analysis efficiency than existing DEA model.
