This system helps the operator by taking a task and reduces his/her workload. Unfortunately, the transparency is deteriorated due to the operational force caused by a dynamic motion of the target. This effect is caused by the discreteness and a delay in external sensors essential for MCBC. However, the relationships between the transparency and those sensing constraints were not clarified yet. Therefore in this research, the frequency characteristics of the transparency for the MCBC are analyzed in the following three basis: type of holds, sampling period, and stiffness of the target. The analytical results suggested following three behaviors in the transparency of the MCBC. · A first order hold showed better performance compared with a zero order hold, but it has a peak gain near the Nyquist frequency · Shorter sampling period improves the performance · Contacting hard target deteriorate the performance The validity of analysis was verified by the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90641576","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}

Therefore, it is necessary to improve the performance of DOB to realize high advanced motion control system. The performance of DOB depends on motion control frequency, current control frequency of motor driver and the resolution of encoder.

The observer is designed from state space expressions of a controlled plant with the LuGre model that is locally-linearized every sampling period. Thus, observer gains derived from the linearized model become time variant ones as a function of velocity. Parameters of the LuGre model were experimentally identified for a linear stage driven by a ball screw with an AC motor, i.e., a controlled plant. To show the validity of the proposed method, experiments using the controlled plant were conducted to evaluate tracking errors for positioning control with and without the proposed disturbance observer. From the experimental results, it has been confirmed that the proposed disturbance observer can eliminate influence of the friction and is effective to improve positioning accuracy.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"491 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86786727","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}

In this work, motility of bacteria-like untethered helical microrobots in channels is modeled with the resistive force theory coupled with motor dynamics. Results are validated with private experiments conducted on cm-scale prototypes fully submerged in Si-oil filled glass channel. Li-Po battery is utilized as the onboard power supply.

ZMP reference trajectories for pace is proposed, from which reference trajectories for the Robot Center of Mass (CoM) references are obtained by applying preview control. The position of leg joints are computed using inverse kinematics according to CoM reference trajectory.

From this perspective, we have been exploring a novel approach to design and control of legged robots which makes use of free vibration of elastic curved beams. We found that this approach not only simplifies the design and manufacturing processes of locomotion robots, but also substantially improves their energy efficiency, which is comparable to those of animals.
