This paper proposes a skill preservation system for motion acquisition of human fingers. The proposed skill preservation system is composed of a master-slave system, and the control system is based on bilateral motion control. Since a touching motion is subject to the \"law of action and reaction\", it is possible to decompose force information into action force and reaction force by using the bilateral control. Furthermore, human motion is acquired in decoupled modal space by using the mode quarry matrix. The decoupled modes correspond to \"moving\", \"yawing\", \"grasping\" tasks, and so on. Thus the skilled motion by a human is easily obtained in the modal space. The mode quarry matrix is also applied for temporal decomposition. As a result, modal and temporal analyses are realized by using the mode quarry matrices. The proposed skill preservation system is applied for grasping motion by three fingers. The experimental results show viability of the proposed method","PeriodicalId":187202,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130221307","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 reduce of the noise effect, the post-filter, which is implemented by MA process, is proposed. The parameter compensator with RLSM (recursive least square method) parameter estimator is suggested to increase the performance of the load torque observer and main controller. The proposed estimator is combined with a high performance neural torque observer to resolve the problems.

They are utilized, for example, for inspection and repair work in nuclear power and chemical plants, operations in areas of wreckage after earthquakes or blasts, or dismantling explosive devices (S. Aoshima et al., 1993). Most of these robots move by means of wheels or caterpillars, some of them utilize walking mechanisms. Such robots, however, cannot enter narrow slots (for example, during rescue operations in a zone of wreckage) or move in dense media other than gases or liquids. This justifies looking for new concepts of motion to enable robots to move efficiently in environments inaccessible to robots with wheel, caterpillar, and walking propelling systems.

The applications ranging from adaptive cruise control, steering assist, stability control and active suspension systems offer great benefits for the handling, comfort, and safety of the vehicles. At the same time any malfunction of these systems could compromise the safety of the driver and the passengers. Due to this fact the operation of the system should be monitored and faults occurring to the system shall be detected and isolated as fast as possible. In order to avoid additional sensors, hence increasing cost and decreasing reliability, model-based approaches have been gaining more and more grounds in this field.
