One of the most important and fundamental tasks of the robot manipulators is position/force control. It is necessary to realize the desired force to perform sophisticated tasks such as grinding, deburring, wiping, or assembling of objects with the robot. In this survey paper, we mainly discuss on existing several force controlsystems for robot manipulators by applying soft computing techniques, such as neural networks, fuzzy reasoning, and fuzzy-neural networks. We also point out some open problems for future work.

An evolving neural networks (NNs) based identification method is proposed using genetic programming (GP). Advantages of both NNs and GP are combined in the proposed method. Identification of unknown/uncertain robot manipulators is realized by using the adaptation ability of NNs, and the architecture of the NNs is evolved by using the GP technique. Consequently, evolution of the NN architecture and adaptation of its weights are carried out in the proposed method. In the proposed GP, the architecture of each individual in the population is the same as a NN. The adaptation process of each NN (each individual in the population) to the unknown/uncertain robot manipulator is carried out using the back-propagation learning algorithm during the fitness evaluation process of each NN in GP. Therefore, the NN, which shows better adaptation to the unknown/uncertain robot manipulator, results in better fitness in the proposed method. In order to avoid frequent disruption of the important subtree of the NN caused by crossover operators, the worst subtree of one selected NN is replaced with the best subtree of the other NN. The back-propagated errors during the adaptation process are used for evaluation of the subtrees of each NN. This strategy makes the evolution of NN architecture more efficient than traditional GP. The effectiveness of the proposed identification method has been evaluated with a 2DOF planar robot manipulator.

A signal separation method for extracting background electroencephalogram (EEG) from EEG containing spikes was proposed. Morphological filters were designed for extracting spike waveforms, and then the background EEG was obtained by subtracting the detected spike waveforms from the EEG with spike . The proposed method was evaluated by using simulated EEG data, which consisted of a summation of EEG without spike and model waveform of typical spike. The background EEG separated by the method was processed by the automatic background EEG interpretation.

Position/force control is one of the most important and fundamental tasks of robot manipulators. Since the desired position and force required to perform certain tasks are usually designated in the operational space, the control force vector should be given to the end-effector in the operational space. However, friction of each joint of a robot manipulator impedes control accuracy. Therefore, friction should be effectively compensated for in order to realize precise control of robot manipulators. The fuzzy-neuro approach, a combination of fuzzy reasoning and neural networks, has been playing an important role in the control of robots. Applying the fuzzy-neuro approach, learning/adaptation ability and human knowledge can be incorporated into a robot controller. We propose an effective robot manipulator fuzzy-neuro position/force control method in which joint friction is effectively compensated for using adaptive friction models. The effectiveness of the proposed control method was evaluated by experiments.

Friction of each joint of a robot manipulator has to be effectively compensated for in order to realize precise position/force control of robot manipulators. Recently, soft computing techniques (fuzzy reasoning, neural networks, and genetic algorithms) have played an important role in the control of robots. By applying soft computing techniques, learning/adaptation ability and human knowledge can be incorporated into a robot controller. In this paper, we propose a two-stage adaptive robot manipulator position/force control method in which uncertain/unknown dynamics of the environment are compensated for in the task space and joint friction is effectively compensated for in the joint space using soft computing techniques. The effectiveness of the proposed control method was evaluated by experiments.

In order to develop a proper speed control technique for automated driving of heavy-duty vehicles, in the situation of mixed traffic of heavy-duty vehicles and passengers cars, a simulation study is carried out considering the transient characteristics of heavy-duty vehicles in acceleration and deceleration. The control performance is observed and some problems to be solved are listed as follows: (1) to check control performance for time-dependent target speed and distance (2) to improve the control algorithms to suppress chattering of the acceleration.

This research is aimed at the development of bipedal humanoid robots working in a human living space, with a focus on its physical construction and motion control method. At the first stage, we developed the bipedal humanoid robot WABIAN (Waseda bipedal humanoid), and proposed a control method for dynamic cooperative biped walking. In this paper, we present a follow-walking control method with a switching patterns technique for a bipedal humanoid robot to follow human motion by hand contact. By a combination of both algorithms, the robot is able to perform dynamic stepping and walking forward and backward in a continuous time while someone is pushing or pulling its hand. In this paper, the authors describe the control methods for the realization of physical interaction between a human and a bipedal humanoid robot.

A technique for the mechanical processing of living vegetative tissue such as peeling and cutting of fruits and vegetables with the minimum damage to the processed tissue was investigated. The performance of a high frequency vibrating blade in the cutting of living vegetative tissue was examined. It was found that the high frequency vibrating blade can reduce the damage to the processed tissue significantly in comparison to a still blade. Two different frequencies (40 kHz with 0.03 mm amp. and 115 Hz with 3 mm amp.) were tested. The higher frequency gave better results in both processing time and cutting quality in terms of unwanted cell damage. A direct application of this cutting technology for vegetative tissue processing has been made during the development of a new grafting robot system.
