We investigate the instantaneous impact phenomenon due to the collision between the manipulator and the environment for kinematically redundant manipulators. First, we define a normalized impact geometry in the viewpoint of normalized velocity change. We then reduce the impulsive effects under uncertain environment for redundant manipulators. A new impact performance index based on velocity direction is proposed. Finally, the performance of the proposed index is demonstrated by numerical examples and experiments.

In this paper, we consider hard contact force control law which shows good performance as well as enhanced stability and robustness. First, we consider hard contact transition such as hammering when the manipulator's approaching velocity is high or the environment is very stiff. In hard contact, phase transition can be divided into two definitely different phases, "pre-transition phase" and "transition phase". Here we define the "pre-transition phase" and propose a novel controller named as "suppression controller" which is not only stable but also simple to implement. Based on this result, we suggest a hard contact force control scheme which is named "hybrid suppression controller". The effectiveness of these approaches are verified via experiments using POSTECH 1 DOF DD arm.

In this paper, a method is proposed to perform control using INTEL(R) based personal computers operated by Windows NT/sup TM/ directly. The software package that was developed is called WinReC v.1 (Windows Real-time Control). This low cost method keeps all the advantages of Windows NT without attaching any other kernels and avoids switching different operating systems between experimentation and control design/analysis. A thorough description of the method to set up the multimedia timer provided by Microsoft Development Network (MSDN) Library is presented. Self-customized algorithms based on advanced control techniques can be implemented with the standard protocol that is established here. The proposed protocol is evaluated using two different tasks in control experiments. An industrial robot manipulator is controlled by applying an independent joint PID control scheme. Results are also shown from experiments where LQR and H/sub 2/ controllers are applied to suppress vibrations of a flexible payload carried by the robot manipulator.

In this paper, the application of rapid prototyping in fabricating nonassembly robotic systems is presented. Using the stereolithography apparatus SLA 190 of the department of Mechanical and Aerospace engineering of Rutgers University, and the selective laser sintering Sinterstation 2000 of DTM Corporation of Austin, TX, prototypes of mechanical joints were fabricated experimentally. The designs of these component joints were then used to fabricate the articulated structure of experimental prototypes for two robotic systems: (1) a three-legged parallel manipulator; (2) a four degree of freedom finger of a five-fingered robotic hand.
In this project, Rutgers University has teamed with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to pursue the development and demonstration of a novel haptic interfacing capability called MEMICA (remote MEchanical Mirroring u...

Functional redundancy techniques for fault detection and isolation (FDI) in dynamic systems requires close interaction between system instrumentation, modeling and analysis. Effective FDI requires detailed and accurate models to trade and analyze system behavior, including transient phenomena that result from faults. It also requires appropriate instrumentation technology to provide the measurements to capture and analyze system behavior. Models and measurements must be matched carefully to provide sufficient observability and effective analysis. In this paper we demonstrate the development of FDI systems for complex applications by presenting the modeling and instrumentation of an automobile combustion engine cooling system. We have developed a qualitative parameter estimation methodology for FDI. A system model is represented as a graph that captures the dynamic behavior of the system. To demonstrate the applicability a small leak is artificially introduced in the cooling system and accurately detected and isolated.

Modern mobile robots are more and more often used for implementing various complicated tasks in severe environment. The goal is to free human from the exposure of dangerous and harmful influence which may damage its health. The later years mobile robots more often are used in autonomous mode implementing most of the tasks without direct human interaction. As soon as environment usually is rather complicated it causes the necessity to involve advanced and sophisticated techniques for modelling and visualisation. It can be successfully realised with modern software improving the performance of mobile robots.

The reaction of autonomous mobile robot to the dynamic, uncertain, and changeable environment is one of most difficult issue in control of the intelligent autonomous robot movement. Fuzzy control appears as a very useful tool for handling the intelligent reactive navigation. Present work deals with building of fuzzy behaviors based reactive navigation to reach the goal, propose new method to blend and coordinate multiple behaviors in the same time. This method using fuzzy technique and fix priority value reflects the importance of the behavior. Our behaviors system is test by building our simulation and animation programs that reflect online the robot movement using graphical user interface (GUI).

详细信息
The TRANSCEND system for fault detection and isolation in continuous systems uses qualitative reasoning methods to analyze transients caused by abrupt faults. Qualitative transient analysis avoids some of the computational difficulties associated with numerical schemes, but they lack discriminating power. This paper presents the formal basis for qualitative transient analysis, and then establishes the limits of the discriminatory power of this methodology. An integrated scheme that starts with qualitative fault isolation to narrow down possible fault hypotheses, and then uses a focused quantitative parameter estimation scheme to identify the true fault is developed. This approach provides a number of advantages over purely quantitative FDI schemes.
