Multifingered robotic hands, when used as the slave end effectors in teleoperation, have some advantages over the conventional parallel jaw grippers. Effective teleoperation of such end effectors raises the problem of using suitable master devices. The most appropriate master devices for this purpose are the instrumented gloves and the hand exoskeletons. When using such master devices, either for telemanipulation of objects or for interacting with virtual worlds, it is crucial to the success of the task that the human operator "feels" the grasping and manipulating forces exerted by the slave robotic fingers. This requires that the slave hand fingertip forces as well as the actual sensations be fedback to the human operator's fingers via the dexterous master. This paper thus has two goals. The first goal is to identify and analyze some specific requirements on the design of dexterous master devices meant for teleoperating multifingered robotic hands, within this context of finger force feedback. The requirements are of 2 categories: constructional and functional. The constructional issues consist of the isomorphism, portability, motion range capability, and accommodation for human hand size variability. The functional issues consist of the bandwidth compatibility with the human hand, which itself has asymmetric input/output characteristics, the proprioceptive (force limit) compatibility, and the consideration of the psychometric stability of the human hand in sensing force magnitudes and variations. Also of importance is the sensitivity of the master device that must be more than that of the human hand. Also evaluated in this paper are the 14 existing designs of hand masters to see how well they satisfy the afore stated constructional and functional requirements. Only 6 are capable of feeding back the slave finger forces to that of the operator while none of them completely satisfy all the requirements listed above. Hence described at the end is a new design of a for

Parametric transfer-function matrix (T.F.M.) models are derived from the differential equations describing the variation of liquid and vapour compositions within symmetrical distillation columns separating binary mixtures. Both packed and tray-type columns are considered, the models developed having minimal order 6 and 4, respectively, (implying perfectly-stirred mixtures and minimum number of trays in each column section), so removing the complications introduced by spatial variations encountered in earlier studies by Edwards and Tabrizi [1] and Tabrizi [2] of longer columns. The T.F.M.'s obtained are again shown to be diagonal with the same choice of input and output vectors as were employed in the "long" column studies. Furthermore, the fundamental behavioural differences between packed and tray-type columns are again revealed using these low-order physical models as were demonstrated in the previous studies. In particular, the sign of the static gain of packed-columns, responding to total flow changes, is again shown to be parameter-sensitive and the sign of the total-flow gain at high-frequency is shown to be the reverse of that for tray-type columns, so again causing non-minimum-phase behaviour in packed-columns in some circumstances. Because of their behavioural and parametric similarities, it is proposed that the minimal-order models developed in this paper be used as a future basis for control system design studies for spatially-distributed and multi-tray columns in situations where travelling-wave phenomena are unimportant. The present paper has revealed a precise diagonal dynamic structure for symmetrical columns using the same inputs and outputs. This deduction accords well with the findings of previous authors based on part impirical by McMoran [3], Shinskey [4], and Stainthorp [5], approximate analytical by Edwards [6], or purely simulation methods Rosenbrock [7]. Near first-order-lag behaviour is also a feature common to the findings of these earlier

The author addresses force control of robot manipulators. It is shown that from a linear system point of view the methods proposed in the literature are equivalent to state an/for output variable feedback, and the stability, for measurement performed either in joint or task space coordinates, can be established through similarity transformations. However, when selection matrices are used, the stability is affected by the choice of compensation in terms of task or joint space coordinates. Using linear models, it is argued that many different methods are analytically equivalent, hence the suggested improvements are inconclusive unless considerations of hardware-, software-, and equipment-specific data are taken into account.< >
