The platform is designed with two xPc targets which communicate with each other over the Internet. A novel contribution of the platform is that it allows for the realistic and yet, low-cost simulations of bilateral control topologies under real word Internet delay, without the need for the actual manipulators or related hardware. A small case study is also presented to test the performance of the platform.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"6 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":"87938931","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 authors have already proposed an LMI (linear matrix inequality)-based feedforward (FF) compensator design to provide robust properties in positioning against the perturbations, where a feedback (FB) controller has been independently designed to ensure the robust stability on the basis of the 2-DOF controller design framework. A problem, however, still remains that the undesired response in the FB system due to the perturbations deteriorates the ideal response by the FF compensation. The proposed controller design, therefore, considers the FB system in the FF compensator design to solve the problem. In addition, the FB controller is redesigned to improve the positioning performance as a coordinate design between the FB and the FF controllers. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been verified by numerical simulations and experiments using a prototype of galvano scanners.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"158 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":"87939184","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}

An adaptive robust control (ARC) algorithm with integrated compensation of major nonlinearities ranging from Coulomb friction and cogging force to the nonlinear electromagnetic field effect is developed. High frequency structural flexible modes and dynamics in linear motors, which are neglected in the previous researches, are explicitly identified experimentally and their effects are carefully examined. With the knowledge of those high frequency dynamics, theoretical analysis is subsequently conducted to generate a set of practically useful guidelines on the tuning of controller gains in maximizing the achievable performance in practice. Comparative experiments of the propose ARC control law with different controller gains are carried out to illustrate the usefulness of the generated guidelines. In addition, to further push the achievable control performance, explicit compensation of the known high-frequency flexible modes and dynamics using pole/zero cancelation is also investigated, and its effectiveness is evaluated through comparative experimental results as well.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"8 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":"86436513","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}

It is important that robot does not harm human so that we coexist with robot. Therefore, a lot of researchers have studied about falling down. Zero-Moment Point (ZMP) is most widely used as a stability indicator of biped robot. ZMP, however, is not unsuitable for falling indicator because of behavior of ZMP. On the other hands, Foot-Rotation Indicator (FRI) is useful when robot falls down. However, FRI point does not include content that whether robot keeps a balance on boundary surface of falling. In addition, FRI point is complicated and it is hard to calculate. A permissible amount of falling risk evaluation, therefore, is presented in this paper. This permissible amount is calculated by plantar contact points of the robot, acceleration value of center of gravity (COG) and reaction force. During robot is walking or standing, the falling risk is evaluated by this permissible amount. This method is applied for a condition of robot before robot falls. Proposed method is evaluated by the simulation and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"283 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":"82829114","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 method realizes the dynamic locomotion by considering the center of mass and angular momentum directly affecting the stability of dynamic locomotion. Second, a trajectory generating method by using zero-phase low pass filter based on a cart-table model is applied. These schemes can control the robot by stabilizing the zero moment point which is the criteria of dynamic locomotion. In this paper, we focus on the realization of fast and stable wheeled locomotion.

Position scaling extends working space of human; force scaling extends sensitivity of human. This technology is useful when the slave robot is larger in size compared with the master robot. In general, correct environmental impedance, such as softness or hardness of the object, cannot be transmitted in scaling bilateral control due to a mismatch of force scaling and position scaling in the bilateral control. However, correct environmental impedance is necessary for the safe operation, especially in the scaling bilateral control where the mass of robot tends to become large. This paper proposes a method of transmitting environmental impedance in position scaling bilateral control. Position scaling is focused for the sake of extending working space of operator when the slave robot has larger working space compared with the master robot. There exist two methods to scale position in bilateral control; scaling with constant coefficient and scaling with dimension variation. Conventionally, neither of these achieves correct impedance transmission. Proposed method can be applied to both position scaling methods with the same procedure and achieves impedance transmission by using property of gyrator type bilateral control. The transfer admittance has an ability to bring back the scaled bilateral control to non scaled bilateral control during contact motion. The effect of the proposal is verified through simulation and experiment.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"35 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":"89897250","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}

Decrease of worker's physical ability is one of them. The old workers have high techniques, but physical ability is lower than that of young workers. And it becomes difficult to keep high quality. Hence it is thought that a power assist by robot is needed. The method that increases human motion simply is mainstream conventional power assist method. However, to assist accurately it is thought that robot has to recognize human motion and has to assist fitly. Hence, the system that save and reproduce human motion “motion database” is necessary. Here, to assist accurately, the motion which includes force information is saved to database. In this research, the trajectory information and the force information of human motion is extracted by using bilateral control and it is modeled. To reproduce appropriate motion from database, a search system is needed. For adapting power assist, the search system should be real-time and be able to search at all times. Therefore, in this research, a real-time motion searching method is proposed. The searching method is based on hidden Markov model because human motion has Markov property. Proposed method can search human motion on real-time while human does motion. The viability of proposed method is confirmed by motion search experiment.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"168 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":"73193053","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}
