  • In this paper, design and development experiences of a vision based robotic assembly system for electronic components are described. Specifically, the overall system consists of the following three subsystems each of which employs a 16 bit Preprocessor MC 68000 : supervisory controller, real-time vision system, and servo system. The three microprocessors are interconnected using the time shared common memory bus structure with hardwired bus arbitration scheme and operated as a master-slave type in which each slave is functionally fixed in view of software. With this system architecture, the followings are developed and implemented in this research; (i) the system programming language, called 'CLRC', for man-machine interface including the robot motion and vision primitives, (ii) real-time vision system using hardwired chain coder, (iii) the high-precision servo techniques for high speed de motors and high speed stepping motors. The proposed control system were implemented and tested in real-time successfully.

  • To facilitate the cell based robot research, we presented a micro-mechanical force measurement system for the biological muscle actuators, which utilize glucose as a power source for potential application in a human body or blood vessels. The system is composed of a micro-manipulator, a force transducer with a glass probe, a signal processor, an inverted microscope and video recoding system. Using this measurement system, the contractile force and frequency of the cardiac myocytes were measured in real time and the magnitude of the contractile force of each cardiac myocyte on a different condition was compared. From the quantitative experimental results, we estimated that the force of cardiac myocytes is about $20{\sim}40\;{\mu}$N, and showed that there is difference between the control cells and the micro-patterned cells.

  • This paper represents a development of a range finder sensor module for indoor 2-D mapping and modified Hough transformation for map building. A range finder sensor module has been developed by using optic PSD (Position Sensitive Detector) sensor array at a low price. While PSD sensor is cost effective and light weighting, it has switching noise and white noise. To remove these noises, we propose a heuristic filter. For line-based map building, also we proposed advanced Hough transformation and navigation algorithm. Some experiments were illustrated for the validity of the developed system.

  • This paper describes the mechanism of a new biped machine capable of doing human-robot cooperation work. The biped machine, WABIAN-2 is made of two seven degrees of freedom (DOF) legs, a two DOF waist and no DOF trunk. Its leg system consists of two three DOF ankles, two one DOF knees and two three DOF hips to deal with various walk motions. Its height is about 1.2[m], and its weight is 40[kg]. It is designed with large movable range as a human. Also, a knee stretch walk pattern generation for the biped machine to perform natural walk like a human is discussed in this paper. Its leg motion is compensated by using the motion of its waist. Basic knee stretch walk experiments using WABIAN-2 are conducted on the plane, and the validity of its mechanism and walk pattern generator is verified.

  • Map building is the most important thing for the mobile robots navigation. It requires specific vision system such as CCD camera, range finding system, and many other things. Laser range finder has highly collimated beams can be obtained easily, thus achieving lateral resolution. Laser Diode is used for a continuous laser source. The Automatic Current Control Circuit and the Bias-T is used for mix AC signal with DC bias. This signal is used for driving Laser Diode. The main idea of the calculating distance is detecting phase shift between reference signal and detected signal by photo detector. For the signal processing, the Lock-in amplifier system is addressed in this paper. We used a diffused reflected beam to detect phase shift in this system. But this beam is minuteness signal so it can be easily buried in nose. Lock-in amplifier is used to measure the amplitude and phase of signals which are buried in noise.

  • This paper suggests the new type of a joint torque sensor which is attached at each joint of a manipulator for making compliance. Previous six axis force/torque sensors are high cost and installed end-effector of the manipulator. However, torque on links of previous an end-effector cannot be measured. We design a joint torque sensor that can be fully integrated with an actuator in order to measure applying torque of the manipulator. The sensor system is designed through the structural analysis. The proposed joint torque sensors are installed to the 6 DOF manipulator of a mobile robot for hazardous works and we implemented experiments of measuring applied torque to the manipulator. By the experiment, we proved that the proposed low-cost joint torque sensor gives acceptable performance when we control a manipulator.

  • This paper describes a novel navigation algorithm using a locomotion interface with two 6-DOF parallel robotic manipulators. The suggested novel navigation system can induce user's real walking and generate realistic visual feedback during navigation, using robotic manipulators. For realistic visual feedback, the virtual environment is designed with three components; 3D object modeler for buildings and terrains, scene manager and communication manager component. The walking velocity of the user is directly translated to VR actions for navigation. Finally, the functions of the RPC interface are utilized for each interaction mode. The suggested navigation system can allow a user to explore into various virtual terrains with real walking and realistic visual feedback.

  • Point of Production/Manufacturing Execution Systems are an essential component of operations in today's competitive business environments, which require greater production efficiency and effectiveness. POP/MES focuses on the valuing-adding processes, helping to reduce manufacturing cycle time, improve product quality, reduce WIP, reduce or eliminate paperwork between shifts, reduce lead time and empowering plant operations staff. In this paper, we implement POP/MES to manage real-time plant floor data which is gathered by I/O server into database management system. I/O server is a software allows data exchange between factory real-time database and several hardware devices such as PLC, DCS, robot and sensor through ethernet TCP/IP protocol.

  • It is very hard to identify the fuzzy rules and tune the membership functions of the fuzzy reasoning in fuzzy systems modeling .We propose a method which canautomatically identify the fuzzy rules and tune the membership functions of fuzzy reasoning simultaneously using artifical neural network. In this model,fuzzy rules are identified by backpropagation algorithm. The feasibility of the method is simulated by a simple robot manipulator.
