A third generation parallel link manipulator (PLM) has been developed at the mechanicalengineeringlaboratory. The device is similar in geometry to existing prototypes in the laboratory, however, the position sensing hardware configuration for online forward position analysis has been changed. The actuators and drivetrains are also more robust to provide for more realistic task demonstrations. This paper includes a brief description of the new prototype hardware. A closed-form forward position algorithm suitable for the new sensor configuration is derived, and a practical procedure for position sensor calibration is developed and demonstrated.

An auto tuning algorithm of fuzzy inference for Fuzzy neural networks using the genetic algorithm and the delta rule is presented. Some auto-tuning methods are proposed to reduce time-consuming operations by human experts. This tuning method brings the minimal and optimal structure of the fuzzy model. Two types of the fuzzy model are prepared, whose membership functions on the antecedent part consist of triangular and Gaussian type, respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed methods compared with the former methods is shown by simulation. The proposed method has the potential to be applied to robotic motion control, sensing and recognition problems.< >

Recurrent neural networks have dynamic characteristics and can express functions of time. The recurrent neural networks can be applied to memorize robotic motions, i.e. trajectory of a manipulator. For this purpose, it is necessary to determine appropriate interconnection weights of the network. Formerly, learning algorithms based on gradient search techniques have been shown. However, it is difficult for the recurrent neural network to learn such functions while using previous approaches because of much computing requirement and limitation of memory. This paper presents a new learning scheme for the recurrent neural networks by genetic algorithm (GA). The GA is applied to determine interconnection weights of the recurrent neural networks. The GA approach is compared with the backpropagation through time which is a famous learning algorithm for the recurrent neural networks. Simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed approach.< >

The authors propose a torque control method for a geared DC motor with the ability to improve the structure stiffness reduced by the torque sensor. One of the special features of the proposed method is that it introduces an acceleration controller and positive feedback of the link angle through the inverse dynamics of the acceleration controller. The acceleration controller is realized by a disturbance observer which estimates the total sum of the disturbance torque imposed on a motor axis, and an acceleration controller is necessary for good performance of the positive feedback of the link angle. The effectiveness of the proposed method was demonstrated by experiments using a single axis geared DC motor system with a torque sensor.< >
