An alternative approach of using a neural network to learn the uncertainties in the friction torque of robot manipulators is proposed. Furthermore a true teaching signal for learning the uncertainties is derived. After learning, the neural network is capable of reproducing the training data. It is then embedded in the structure of a joint torque perturbation observer to compensate for the uncertainties in friction. As a result, an accurate estimate of the joint reaction torque during electronic component insertion by a SCARA robot can be deduced. This approach offers distinct advantages over the conventional method of using a structured friction model.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122288053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To construct motion controller of the manipulator, both joint space and operational space are available. In general, it is easy for manipulator user to recognize the motion of the manipulator in operational space. So the operational space is selected to synthesize the motion reference to the manipulator. In this case, the motion reference should be transformed into the joint space where the actuator exists. In this paper, we explain the simplification methods of the transformation from the operational space to the joint space, that is, the inverse kinematics problem by using the robust control. Several experimental results are shown to confirm the validity of the proposed methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121084157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By the auto-tuning function, the host controller of the driver can obtain parameters for advanced controls (such as predictive control, etc.). The control parameters such as the inertia constant, the viscous coefficient and the constant disturbance torque, are automatically obtained by the orthogonal relation between the torque components of the estimated disturbance torque. The proposed auto-tuning algorithm is realized with a simple software. The experimental results show that the dynamic model based auto-tuning digital servo driver can achieve good performances and that the driver is able to estimate all parameters accurately.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121197683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the correct adjustment of the LB-printer, the quality of characters, figures and lines can be tested without using a micro-densitometer when a new evaluation pattern is printed on a sheet of paper. The quality of the printed material is determined depending on whether the elemental dots or lines are printed in a correct size or not. Since this new evaluation pattern is used to evaluate the quality of characters, figures and lines in five steps, the line width printed on a sheet of paper is expanded or shrunken with an expansion ratio of +20%, +10%, 0%, -10% or -20% of the normal size of the elemental dots. This new evaluation pattern can be used to check if the printer is operating normally.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121514242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, it has low absolute positioning accuracy, although the robot has good repeatability. For this reason, calibration of the manipulator is required. This paper proposes a calibration method using information obtained through a vision sensor, which is installed on the hand. First, the robot makes a series of movements with a vision sensor. Next, the sensor projects a laser onto an object and takes an image at each position. Finally, parameters are calibrated using the error of 3D position by the Newton method.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121523932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensing system capable of tracking and zooming functions detects an unexpected object and records the series of available extracted object images in the time varying environment. Two algorithms-image processing to detect the object motion and parallel pan/tilt/zoom control-are proposed for the sensing system. In the image processing, the object edge image is first abstracted by specific temporal differentiation of two successive edge images. The object size as a major information in zoom-lens control is determined by multi-stage eigenvalues of the real symmetric matrix in the abstracted image which is designed for low computational cost as well as noise detection. Secondly for a practical application, the organic path planning of parallel sensor control-three mechanical freedoms of pan, tilt and zoom-is established, and pipeline processing between image processing and sensor control is designed. Experimental results show that the proposed system is valid for numerous kinds of moving objects in the security zone.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"192 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116531675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
