In this paper, a novel adaptive gripper with underactuation is presented, which can change its configuration to parallel or power grip mode according to object shapes. Differently from the commercial adaptive gripper by RobotiQ, the proposed gripper includes an actual parallelogram inside a five-bar mechanism, which allows the free selection of actuator locations and can reduce actuation torques effectively. The forward and inverse kinematics for two grip modes and statics analysis have been analyzed. From the comparative design, the proposed gripper has about 20% smaller size, 3.7% larger stroke, and 30.5% smaller average actuation torque than the commercial one.

Recently, quadcopters have been popular as aerial drones. The structure of quadcopters is simpler than traditional helicopters and they are easy to construct and maneuver. Various hardware platforms for quadcopters have been developed. However, the controller design is not easy due to the requirement of 6-DOF flights using 4 rotors(control inputs)(under-actuated systems). In order to overcome the underactuation problem, various control methods - PID, LQR, $H_{\infty}$, SMC, backstepping control, and etc. - have been suggested for the control of quadcopters. In this paper, dynamic features and control methods of quadcopters are reviewed and evaluated. Future works are proposed for designing the advanced controllers of quadcopters.

This paper deals with the attitude control of an underactuated spacecraft that has fewer than three actuators. Even though such spacecrafts are known as uncontrollable, restricted missions are possible with controlling two-axis attitude angles. A variable speed control moment gyroscope is considered as an actuator. It is a kind of momentum exchange device and it shows highly nonlinear dynamical properties. Speed commands are generated by kinematic equations represented by Euler angles. A control law, that is designed to make a spacecraft follow the speed commands, is derived by the backstepping method. Angular speeds are estimated from the attitude measurements. Several estimation methods have been compared.

In this study, we investigates the auto-berthing problem for the underactuated surface vessel in the presence of constraints of dynamic uncertainties, finite time, transmission load, and environmental disturbance. A novel control scheme is proposed by fusing the finite time control technology and the event-triggered input algorithm. In the algorithm, differential homeomorphism coordinate the transformation is used to solve the problem of underactuation. Then, we apply the finite time technology and event triggered to save the time of the berthing vessel and relieve transmission burden between the controller and the vessel respectively. Moreover, a radial basis function network is used to approximate unknown nonlinear functions, and minimum learning parameters are introduced to lessen the computational complexity. A sufficient effort has been made to verify the stability of the closed-loop system based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, simulation results display the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

본 논문에서는 한 개의 1축 가변속 CMG를 장착한 부족구동 위성의 자세제어 문제를 다루고 있다. 이러한 부족구동 위성의 경우, 전체 모멘텀이 영(zero)이 아니면 자세를 임의로 취할 수 없다. 위성을 안정화 시키려면 가변속 CMG가 위성의 모멘텀 방향으로 정렬해야 하기 때문이다. 4가지의 다른 장착형상을 고려하였으며, 각각에 대해 제어가능 모멘텀 영역을 분석하였다. 또한 각 형상에 대해 백스테핑 기법을 이용하여 안정한 자세제어 법칙을 제시하고 자세제어 특성을 비교하였다.

In this study, we present a gripping mechanism that is inspired by caterpillar's proleg. A caterpillar's proleg has planta that gives compliance to the proleg by greatly deforming its shape. In the bio-inspired gripper, the planta is implemented by flexure joints. The flexures buckle when end force and end moment is applied on the joint in opposite direction. Using this characteristic, the gripping structure is designed so that the flexure buckling can occur. Flexure buckling increases the region where gripping force is constant and this region leads to increasing in gripping range. At the same time, flexure buckling decouples all spines and therefore all spines can move differentially and independently. With this simple but effective mechanism, the bioinspire gripper can achieve adaptive gripping on rough and rugged surfaces. A prototype is built to demonstrate adaptive gripping on rough and rugged surfaces such as cement block, brick.

본 논문에서는 모멘텀 교환장치인 휠을 사용하는 위성의 내고장 제어 문제를 다루고 있다. 2개의 휠만이 정상인 경우에 위성의 자세를 제어하는 것에 대한 연구결과를 제시한다. 두 가지 다른 형상의 휠 조합을 고려하였다. 요 축을 직접적으로 제어할 수 없는 조합에 대해서는 롤 각속도를 의사 입력으로 이용해서 원하는 요 각속도를 구현하였다. 결과적으로 세 축의 각속도 모두를 안정화시키고, 두 축의 자세각을 원하는 값에 수렴하도록 제어 할 수 있었다.

This paper presents an anthropomorphic finger prosthesis for amputees whose proximal phalanx is mutilated. The finger prosthesis to be proposed is able to make the amputees to perform the natural motion such as flexion/extension as well as self-adaptive grasping motion as if normal human finger does. The mechanism of finger prosthesis with three degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) consists of two five-bar and one four-bar linkages. Two passive components composed of torsional spring and mechanical stopper and only one active joint are employed in order to realize an underactuation. Each passive component is installed into the five-bar linkage. In order to activate the finger prosthesis, it is required for the user to flex and extend the remaining proximal phalanx on the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint, not an electric motor. Thus the finger prosthesis conducts not only the natural motion according to his/her intention but also the grasping motion through the deformation of springs by the object for human finger-like behavior. In order to reveal the operation principle of the proposed mechanism, kinematic analysis is performed for the linkage design. Finally both simulations and experiments are conducted in order to reveal the design feasibility of the proposed finger mechanism.
