Their inverse kinematic is challenging due to their redundancy. On the other hand, knowledge about the inverse kinematics of the concentric-tube continuum robot is essential for control purposes. There are many solutions for reaching to a specific target point because of the redundancy of these kinds of robots. In this paper, a new method for solving the inverse kinematics of these kinds of robots is presented. The most common type of these robots consisting of three tubes is considered for this study, and the genetic algorithm technique is employed to optimize the solution of this problem. Minimum energy principle equations are used in this method. It is assumed that the robot moves in a free space, so the environment force on this robot is neglected. Also, it is supposed that the curvature of each tube remains constant along the tube. According to the results, a small error of the order 0.01mm was observed using the presented method, which is acceptable for most applications. Finally, the parameters of robot is optimized with concentration on accuracy and the overall length of the robot, which is an important parameter for stability.","PeriodicalId":73286,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation : ICRA : [proceedings].

This work focuses on the modeling of the disassembly planning related information, and develops a Disassembly Information Model (DIM) based on an extensive investigation of various informational aspects of the disassembly planning. In this paper, the requirement analysis for the development of the DIM has been carried out and two categories of the requirements relating to the disassembly domain aspect and the information model aspect are thoroughly discussed.

Graph theory has been used as a powerful tool to solve the problems of disassembly planning, and representation models like connection diagram and AND/OR graph are usually utilized in such methods. The characteristics and functions of a disassembly system are explicitly expressed in the graph, and different searching algorithms are applied to find all the feasible disassembly sequences according to the topological, geometrical and technical constraints. Different strategies are further applied to locate the optimal sequence with consideration of the plan effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. Several outstanding graph-based approaches are briefly discussed below. Penev, et al. [6] used AND/OR graph theory and methods of dynamic programming for the generation and evaluation of the feasible disassembly plans. A new economic model is introduced to determine the optimal disassembly depth. Zhang, et al. [7] developed a graph based heuristic approach for the generation of disassembly sequences from CAD system directly. They proposed a Component-Fastener Graph to analyze the product assembly relationship and a searching for cut-vertex and decomposition of the EOL product into several subassemblies is further applied on the graph to simplify the disassembly analyzing process. Murayma, et al. [8] described the disassembly sequence generation using the idea of information entropy and heuristics to replace components at maintenance stages. The advantage of this method is primarily in the reduction of searching time and searching places for disassembly sequences. The author also developed a software tool integrated with a CAD system and carried out an experiment for an electric drill using the tool. A graph-based information modelling system to represent the process for disassembly and recycle planning of consumer products was proposed by Kanai, et al. [9]. Four kinds of graph have been presented: (1) A configuration graph of sub-assemblies or fragments; (2) A connection graph between parts and materials; (3) A process graph of disassembly, shredd","PeriodicalId":73286,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation : ICRA : [proceedings].

The position of the robot inside the duct is identified using the UWB communication module and the location estimation algorithm. Although UWB communication has relatively large distance error within the metal, the positional error was reduced by introducing appropriate filters to estimate the robot position accurately.  TCP/IP communication allows commands to be sent between the PC and the robot and to receive live images of the camera attached to the robot. Using Haar-like and classifiers, the robot can recognize the type of duct that is difficult to overcome, such as L-shaped and T-shaped duct, and it moves successfully inside the duct according to the corresponding moving algorithms.","PeriodicalId":73286,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation : ICRA : [proceedings].

The approach remains largely unexploited clinically due to surgeon limitations in detecting interaction forces between surgical tools and retinal tissue. In this paper, a dual force constraint controller for robot-assisted retinal surgery was presented to keep the tool-to-vessel forces and tool-to-sclera forces below prescribed thresholds. A cannulation tool and forceps with dual force-sensing capability were developed and used to measure force information fed into the robot controller, which was implemented on existing Steady Hand Eye Robot platforms. The robotic system facilitates retinal vein cannulation by allowing a user to grasp the target vessel with the forceps and then enter the vessel with the cannula. The system was evaluated on an eye phantom. The results showed that, while the eyeball was subjected to rotational disturbances, the proposed controller actuates the robotic manipulators to maintain the average tool-to-vessel force at 10.9 mN and 13.1 mN and the average tool-to-sclera force at 38.1 mN and 41.2 mN for the cannula and the forcpes, respectively. Such small tool-to-tissue forces are acceptable to avoid retinal tissue injury.
