This paper proposes a stable control rule for nonlinear unicycle-type mobile robot. The control method uses a local error coordinate system, velocity and distance constants $\kappa$$\_$x/, $\kappa$$\_$y/, and he. Stability of control rule is proved Liapunov function. System input to the mobile robot is reference posture ($\chi$$\_$r/, y$\_$r/, $\theta$$\_$r/)/sup/ $\tau$/ and reference e velocity (ν$\_$r/,$\omega$$\_$r/)$\^$$\tau$/. System output of the mobi-le robot is velocity of driving wheels. We introduce limit velocity for preventing high initial speed. From simulation results, we can see the proposed control rule is stable.

Unmanned flying robots have been used recently in many difficult situations. One of the major issues in this area is the problem of how long these unmanned flying robots can perform a given task successfully. For this, the development of a light body and high-efficiency power supply has been executed widely, but we do not as yet have the complete solution. In this paper, we propose a form of Multi-Copter X8, which can transform into other types to further improve these problems. The proposed robot has a 3-type modification capability, which can produce a more enhanced energy saving effect by reducing power consumption.

We designed and implemented fish robots for various purposes such as autonomous navigation, maneuverability control, posture balancing and improvement of quick turns in a tank of 120 X 120 X 180cm size. Typically, fish robots have 30-50 X 15-25 X 10-20cm dimensions; length, width and height, respectively. It is essential to have the ability of quick and smooth turning to avoid collision with obstacles or walls of the water pool at a close distance. Infrared distance sensors are used to detect obstacles, magneto-resistive sensors are used to read direction information, and a two-axis accelerometer is mounted to compensate output of direction sensors. Because of the swing action of its head due to the tail fin movement, the outputs of an infrared distance sensor contain a huge amount of noise around true distances. With the information from accelerometers and e-compass, much improved distance data can be obtained by fuzzy logic based estimation. Successful swimming and smooth turns without collision demonstrated the effectiveness of the distance estimation.

This paper presents automatic generation of robot motion using posture template in physical training system. In this system, we define a human-like generic template with two angles, then, we generate robot motion that has used angle data of the created template. The angle data is transformed automatically to the most similar motion. This is achieved by suitable expressions for robot specification. The expressions intend to differences of angle measurement on X,Y,Z planes and DOF constraint. We choose several postures and create generic templates for chosen postures. Robot motions are also generated from generic templates by expressions.

This study is concerned about the optimal design of the arm 1 and arm 2 in the SCARA robot. The mass and inertia moment of the arm I and arm 2 in a SCARA robot is greatly affected on the performance such as a cycle time, and torques loaded on $1^{st}$ axis and $2^{nd}$ axis. To reduce the mass and inertia moment, this study carried out optimal design by FEM analysis using parametric variables, which is a width, a height of the rib and a thickness of arm in the arm. The rib is adapted instead of reducing the thickness in the arm. And the simulation by computer was conducted on two given paths in X direction and Y direction. After optimal design, the result showed that maximum torque of $1^{st}$ axis and $2^{nd}$ axis reduced to maximum 9.5% on a given path.

Most path planning algorithms for a marine robot in the ocean environment have been developed without considering the robot's heading angle. As a result, the robot has a difficulty in following the path correctly. In this paper, we propose a limit-cycle circle set that applies to the $Theta^*$ algorithm. The minimum turning radius of a marine robot is calculated using a limit-cycle circle set, and circles of this radius is used to generate a configuration space of an occupancy grid map. After applying $Theta^*$ to this configuration space, the limit-cycle circle set is also applied to the start and end nodes to find the appropriate path with specified heading angles. The benefit of this algorithm is its fast computation time compared to other 3-D ($x,y,{\theta}$) path planning algorithms, along with the fact that it can be applied to the 3-D kinematic state of the robot. We simulate the proposed algorithm and compare it with 3-D $A^*$ and 3-D $A^*$ with post smoothing algorithms.

This paper describes the design of the force measuring system for an industrial robot's deburring work. The force measuring system is composed of a three-axis force sensor, a measuring device, a housing and a cover. The three-axis force sensor can detect x-direction force, y-direction force and z-direction force at the same time. The measuring device is designed using DSP(Digital Signal Processor), and have a RS-232 and a RS-485 communication port for sending force data to PC or other controller. As a result of test, the repeatability error and the non-lineality error of the three-axis force sensor are less than 0.03%, and the interference error of the sensor is less than 0.95%. It is thought that the force measuring system can be used for an industrial robot's deburring work.

To optimize movement of a multi-joint robot arm is known to be a difficult problem, because it is a kind of redundant system. Although the end-effector is set its position by each angle of the joints, the angle of each joint cannot be uniquely determined by the position of the end-effector. There exist the infinite number of different sets of joint angles which represent the same position of the end-effector. This paper describes how to manage the angle of each joint to move its end-effector preferably on an X-Y plane with obstacles in the end-effector’s reachable area, and how to optimize the movement of a multi-joint robot arm, evading obstacles. The definition of “preferable” movement depends upon a purpose of robot operation. First, we divide viewpoints of preference into two, 1) the standpoint of the end-effector, and 2) the standpoint of joints. Then, we define multiple objective functions, and formulate it into a multi-objective programming problem. Finally, we solve it using multi-purpose genetic algorithm, and obtain reasonable results. The method described here is possible to add appropriate objective function if necessary for the purpose.

In this paper, we generate a trajectory minimized the energy gait of a biped robot for walking a staircase using genetic algorithms and apply to the computed torque controller for the stable dynamic biped locomotion. In the saggital plane, a 6 degree of freedom biped robot that model consists of seven links is used. In order to minimize the total energy efficiency, the Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) is used. Operators of genetic algorithms are composed of a reproduction, crossover and mutation. In order to approximate the walking gait, the each joint angle is defined as a 4-th order polynomial of which coefficients are chromosomes. Constraints are divided into equality and inequality. Firstly, equality constraints consist of position conditions at the end of stride period and each joint angle and angular velocity condition for periodic walking. On the other hand, inequality constraints include the knee joint conditions, the zero moment point conditions for the x-direction and the tip conditions of swing leg during the period of a stride for walking a staircase.

Bones are dynamic structures, being supported by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When some or all the structures are disturbed i.e. in fractures, the alignment of the bone in respect to the rest of the body is deranged. This gives rise to axial as well as rotational deformity in three dimensional planes. The correct alignment and position of the long bones are to be maintained to heal the bone in the best possible anatomical and functional position. The objective of this research is to address the problems in the current practice involving surgeon, assistant, fluoroscopy and crude mechanical means and to see if a robotic solution exists to solve the problems of manipulating and reducing long bone fractures. This paper presents various design aspects of the proposed surgeon-instructed, image-guided and robotic system including the system design specification, robot design and analysis, motion control and implementation, and x-ray image processing and incorporation in CAD environment.
