Abstract
Sensory feedback control is utilized in order to make a robot intelligent. This paper describes the present status of intelligent robots by introducing robot systems with force and visual sensors developed in Hitachi, Ltd. The force feedback control named “virtual compliance mechanism” can generate the same functions as any other compliance mechanism such as rcc for inserting operation by setting suitable values to the parameters of the software in the control unit. 3-D visual feedback control method is also described in which the slit light method is used to recognize 3-dimensional position and orientation of the object.
期刊介绍:
Robotics publishes original papers, technical reports, case studies, review papers and tutorials in all the aspects of robotics. Special Issues devoted to important topics in advanced robotics will be published from time to time. It particularly welcomes those emerging methodologies and techniques which bridge theoretical studies and applications and have significant potential for real-world applications. It provides a forum for information exchange between professionals, academicians and engineers who are working in the area of robotics, helping them to disseminate research findings and to learn from each other’s work. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to: -intelligent robotics, mechatronics, and biomimetics -novel and biologically-inspired robotics -modelling, identification and control of robotic systems -biomedical, rehabilitation and surgical robotics -exoskeletons, prosthetics and artificial organs -AI, neural networks and fuzzy logic in robotics -multimodality human-machine interaction -wireless sensor networks for robot navigation -multi-sensor data fusion and SLAM
