The GRUMMAN international NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE CAD/CAM CENTRE is currently developing an Intelligent Flexible Manufacturing System for the machining of complexed shaped components. The equipment which has been installed includes an automated storage and retrieval system with a vertical transfer system; a Scara robot with an assembly table for fixturing; a 3 axis vertical machining centre with a gantry robot for the loading and unloading of modular fixtures; an automatic probe changing co-ordinate measuring machine for inspection; and an automated guided vehicle system for material transportation. The Intelligent Flexible Manufacturing System, IFMS employs a distributed control strategy with four distinct subsets; namely, Facility Level for plans development; Shopfloor Level for inventory control and production scheduling; Workstation Level for local planning, scheduling and data transmission; Equipment Level for the control of programmable logic and computer numerical control, CNC controllers. The software which has been developed locally for this IFMS includes post-processors for the assembly robot, vertical machining centre and co-ordinate measuring machine, CMM. Communication software between different workstations and the CAD facilities together with the equipment controllers and machine tools has also been successfully developed. This paper describes the design philosophy and development work associated with an IFMS within GINTIC from the facility planning level to the equipment control level.

The purpose of this paper is to represent that the techniques of Computer Aided Geometric Design such as spatial rational frames could be applied to robot kinematics for arm motion design and to computer graphics for generating smooth animation of a rigid body specially in complicated sets of control points and orientations. In application requiring control of the orientation of a rigid body, as its center of mass executes a given path, alignment of body's principal axes with the Frenet-Serret Frame at each point appears to be the solution. However, the other useful orthonormal frames can be defined along a space curve. An important example is Rotation Minimizing Frame. Rotation Minimizing Frames are employed in robotics application where the axis of a tool or probe should remain tangential to a given spatial path while minimizing changes of orientation about this axis.

This paper introduces a robot design of rebellious robot and its effects in human-robot interaction. Users often bore the robots during the interaction when it always obeys the users' orders and does the same reaction against the users' order. On the other hand, we are often more attracted to a rebellious child rather than a compliant child in our daily life. We pay attention to this fact, and design a rebellious robot, which is sometimes contumacious rather than compliant. We conducted some comparison experiments using a compliant robot and a learning robot. Through the experiments, we confirmed that users accepted the rebellious robot and felt some positive impression on it.

with the advancement of automobile industry the control for robotics have much attention just because of reliability and time optimization capability with performance. There is a need of an automatic robot which is capable for the cleaning of the room, office, mall etc and this paper is focusing on such prototype. This paper represents the room cleaning robot which has map storage and wall following functionality and all this implemented using Arduino Uno. With the combination of sensor assembly, algorithm and the intelligent dust cleaner shape make him feasible and effective for all type of environments. It has much more benefits over conventional household vacuum cleaners such as there is no need of personal to clean the room, office etc and fulfilling the main purpose for cleaning the room automatically. In the last results show that this robot is saving much money and time for cleaning the rooms, offices, etc

The development of ammunition production technology directly affects the level of national defense construction, the application of industrial robot improves the automation degree of ammunition production line, but its work path is complex and the craft is numerous, so simulation verification is needed before the actual installation and debugging, domestic simulation research is still in its infancy. This paper uses robotics module of DELMIA software to model its working process, on this basis, the work path setting, robot trajectory optimization and collision and interference detection are carried out, the production process was optimized by PERT diagram and Gantt diagram. The results show that the optimized process improves the production efficiency and saves the working time. This method has reference significance for the application of other robots in specific industries.

Drag-based swimming is usually accompanied with the shape change of rowing appendages to generate asymmetric force during the power stroke and recovery stroke. To implement this in an aquatic robot, one may actively control the surface area of its legs during the swimming. However, a small sized robot with a limited number of actuators should adjust the surface area of legs in passive manner. For this reason, we proposed a novel articulated leg fringed with micro hair arrays inspired by a water beetle. This leg structures was especially designed to implement an efficient recovery stroke with less resistive force. By interacting with surrounding media (i.e., water), the surface area of the leg structure was adaptively increased and decreased during the power stroke and recovery stroke, respectively. Also, a 5.5 cm long swimming robot with one pair of legs was built to further investigate the performance of the leg structure. It was found from experiments that introducing a relaxation phase between the power stroke and recovery stroke not only could increase the swimming velocity, but it also reduced the number of required swimming strokes to traverse a given distance. Comparing with a non-articulated leg, a robot with articulated legs exhibited negligible backward displacement during recovery stroke.

A data transmission algorithm applicable to incremental and absolute encoders is presented and implemented on FPGA-based six axis robot experimental platform. When the industrial computer (IPC) requests synchronous position, the absolute position data is transmitted, while the incremental data is transmitted in the other case to reduce the bus load. In addition, the servo control units assign absolute value data and upload tasks to the various control cycles finely, thus avoiding interference with normal servo control beats. Experimental results shown that the servo control units can read the multi-axis absolute encoders data and achieve the precise positioning of the robot system, further improving the performance of the robot system and reducing the cost.

The target tracking is one of the most challenging tasks for an autonomous mobile robot moving in an unknown environment. This paper presents a simple control strategy that enables a mobile robot to track a target moving along an unknown trajectory. The proposed controller was designed using fuzzy logic theory to compute both the mobile robot's linear and angular velocities in order to point the robot on the target direction and maintain a desired distance to it. Extensive simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, an admittance control scheme is proposed for physical human-robot interaction with human subject's intention motion as well as dynamic uncertainties of the robotic exoskeleton. Human subject's intention motion is represented by the reference trajectory. Online estimation of the stiffness is employed to deal with the variable impedance property of the exoskeleton manipulator. An admittance control approach is firstly presented in order to generate a differentiable reference trajectory in interaction tasks. Then a stability criterion can be obtained by the proposed control method. The designed controller includes linearly parameterization and estimation for the unknown items of the dynamics. Bounded and convergent errors are shown in the motion tracking. The experimental results indicate that the proposed control approach enables the human subjects to execute an admittance control task on the exoskeleton robot effectively.
