This paper deals with stiffness analysis for effective peg-in/out-hole tasks using multifingered robot hand without inter-finger coupling. We first observe the fact that some coupling stiffness elements cannot be planned arbitrary. Then, we analyze the conditions of the specified stiffness matrix in the operational space to successfully and more effectively achieve the given peg-in/out-hole tasks. It is concluded that the location of compliance center on the peg and the coupling stiffness element between the translational and the rotational direction play important roles for successful peg-in/out-hole tasks. Simulation results are included to verify the feasibility of the analytic results.

A new parallel gripping mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogramic platform which can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be used to grasp an object having irregular shape or large volume, but also can be utilized as micro-positioning device after grasping the object. Forward position analysis and platform kinematics are investigated to deal with motion tracking and force control. Pneumatic rotator is employed for actuation and a compact sized, 4/3 way proportional pressure valve is also developed to deal with feedback-based dynamic control. The pressure valve also allows indirect force control by measuring the offset pressure occurring due to contact between the grasped object and the parallel platform. In experimental work, performances of the motion tracking and indirect force control are shown satisfactory.

This paper deals with an analysis of the compliance characteristics for an effective peg-in-hole task using a robot hand without inter-finger coupling. We first classify the task of inserting peg-in-a-hole into three contact styles between the peg and the hole. Next, we analyze the conditions of the specified stiffness matrix in the operational space to successfully and more effectively achieve the given peg-in-hole task for each case. It is concluded that the location of the compliance center on the peg and the coupling stiffness elements between the translational and rotational directions play important roles for a successful peg-in-hole task. Simulation results are included to verify the feasibility of the analytic results.

For an object grasped by a robot hand to work in the compliance control domain, we first analyze a necessary condition for successful stiffness modulation in the operational space. Next, we propose a compliance control method for robot hands which consist of two steps: the RIFDS (resolved inter-finger decoupling solver) decomposes the desired compliance characteristic specified in the operational space into the compliance characteristic in the fingertip space without inter-finger coupling; and the RIJDS (resolved inter-joint decoupling solver) decomposes the compliance characteristic in the fingertip space into the compliance characteristic in the joint space without inter-joint coupling. According to the analysis results, the finger structure should be biomimetic in the sense that either kinematic redundancy or force redundancy are required to implement the proposed compliance control scheme. Five-bar fingered robot hands are treated as illustrative examples to implement the proposed compliance control method. To show the effectiveness of the proposed compliance control method, simulations are performed for two-fingered and three-fingered robot hands.

Underwater robotic vehicles (URV) have been employed for mobility, and robot manipulators attached to the underwater vehicle play the role of manipulation. URV motions are determined by inherent dynamic couplings between active and passive joints. Furthermore, the control problem becomes complex since there should be considered many hydrodynamic terms as well as intrinsic model uncertainties. To cope with these difficulties, we propose a disturbance observer-based robust control algorithm for underwater manipulators with passive joints. The proposed control algorithm is able to treat an underactuated system as a pseudo-active system in which passive joints are eliminated. Also, to realize a robust control method, a nonlinear feedback disturbance observer is applied to each active joint. A four-jointed underwater robotic system with one passive joint is considered as an illustrative example. Through simulation, it is shown that the proposed control algorithm has good position tracking performances even in the presence of several external disturbances and model uncertainties.

A new stiffness adaptation and force regulation methodology using hybrid system approach for constrained robots is presented. We present the hybrid system model and the hybrid systemcontrol synthesis for constrained robots with the stiffness uncertainties is formulated. The hybrid control approach presented has shown to be a very effective strategy to incorporate both the continuous and discrete natures of constraint motion. A nonlinear stiffness function is developed and designed to be hybrid automaton, which consists of some abstracted motion such as increase, decrease, and maintenance of stiffness. The evaluations are evaluated via experimental studies on grinding tasks. The results of experiment are showing the applicability of proposed scheme for constrained tasks.

Addresses the design of hybrid controlsystems for the motion control of wheeled mobile robot systems with nonholonomic constraints. The hybrid controlsystem has a 3-layered hierarchical structure: digital automata for the higher process, mobile robot system for the lower process, and the interface as the interaction process between the continuous dynamics and the discrete dynamics. In the hybrid control architecture of mobile robot, the continuous dynamics of mobile robots are modeled by switched systems. The abstract model and digital automata for the motion control are developed. The motion control tasks for desired-paths with edges and dynamic path following with various initial conditions are investigated as the applications by simulation studies.
