Minimally invasive surgery has advantages for patients, but skills are required for surgeons and the demand to support by engineering is increasing. Therefore, surgical robots teleoperated by surgeons and operate patients are studied and developed. However, conventional surgical robots are not able to transmit force sense to operator adequately. Besides, there are mechanical problems caused by driving method and increased DoF. In order to overcome these problems, the five DoF surgical robot with z-translation, grasping, roll motion, pitch motion and yaw motion is developed. The rotation axes of roll, pitch and yaw motion cross a point and it is similar to human hand which can manage complex tasks. However, the roll motion of the five DoF surgical robot is different from the one of human hand because the all part inserted into human body is rotated by the roll motion. In this paper, a method to control the gripper's rotation angle by using coordinate transformation and control on workspace is proposed. The validity of the proposed method is verified by experiments.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123776339","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}

Then, The demand for processing the saved motion data as further utilization is expected. To connect motion data, there is the method which connects the motion data using the third spline function. However, this method isn't suitable for cooperative task of human and robots such as rehabilitation system because the human motion properties are ignored. In this study, the motion data that are saved individually are connected by using minimum-force differential model which contains minimum-jerk model known as a human motion model.

In order to achieve the high precision positioning using piezoelectric actuators, mechanical vibrations as well as nonlinear properties should be compensated. In this paper, a robust vibration suppression control system against resonant frequency variations is designed, where a minor loop aided by a self-sensing technique is added on the position control system. In the minor loop design, the reduction of sensitivity characteristic at around the vibration frequencies is considered to suppress the residual vibration for the reference and disturbance. Major loop for augmented plant including self-sensing minor loop, on the other hand, is designed by considering system stability and servo characteristic. The proposed approach has been evaluated by experiments using a piezo-driven stage.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130921222","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 offset-free EOMPC approach is developed based on our previous research - Energy-optimal Model Predictive Control (EOMPC) - which aims at performing energy-optimal point-to-point motions within a given motion time. A drawback of the EOMPC method is that it cannot achieve high positioning accuracy in the presence of unmodelled disturbances or model-plant mismatch. In order to cope with this problem, a `disturbance model' strategy is adopted: the system state is augmented with disturbance variables. Based on the `disturbance model', the disturbances are estimated and the effect of which is cancelled. Numerical validation of the offset-free EOMPC using a model of a linear motor with coulomb friction and cogging disturbances has been performed and the results show that time-constrained energy-optimal point-to-point motion with high positioning accuracy is achieved.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"14 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114129024","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}

This paper describes a model based approach for decoupled control design. To decouple the system an input and an output transformation is used and all control parts are developed in the so called center of gravity (COG) coordinate system. One of the main problems is the stabilization of the rotor for a high speed range. This problem is solved by a parameter variant feedback path, which transforms the linear parameter variant system in a linear parameter invariant system. This feedback path requires the angular velocity and the velocities of the degrees of freedom for calculation. The angular velocity can be used from the motor controller. For the other velocities a Kalman observer is used. This Kalman observer is developed only in the center of gravity coordinates, because in this coordinate system the observer needs less computing power. The stability and robustness of the closed loop system is verified by simulations and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"286 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115906804","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}
