Nondestructive monitoring of contact properties for biological and engineering materials is important in several engineering areas. Also, in robotics, manipulation of fragile objects requires precise determination of instantaneous contact area and forces with minimum intrusion. In this paper, a contact probe based on hertzian contact and ultrasonic energy transmission for characterization of surface properties is proposed. The probe is built from a solid semi-spherical head which is sonified from the top by an ultrasonic transducer with a center frequency of 1 MHz. Force range was 0-23N and displacements as small as 0.05 millimeters were reached with a proposed automatic control system. A quasi-static spring model to describe the interfacial properties at contact is studied. The results indicate that due to its high sensitivity, the probe could be used for measurements of surface mechanical response.
In this paper, the design of a novel force controller which combines a neuro-fuzzy algorithm and a new contact ultrasonic probe is proposed. The fuzzy rules emulated network (FREN) has a control algorithm structure ba...

In this paper, the design of a novel force controller which combines a neuro-fuzzy algorithm and a new contact ultrasonic probe is proposed. The fuzzy rules emulated network (FREN) has a control algorithm structure based on fuzzy IF-THEN rules. The contact probe is integrated in a Cartesian robotic system with the FREN force control. The contact probe is equipped with a 1 MHz frequency ultrasonic transducer. The probe is constructed by a semi-spherical head and an ultrasonic transducer located at the top of the head. The contact between the probe and the medium is modeled by Hertz theory. The experimental results show that the proposed system exhibits high sensitivity for touching contact, instantaneous contact and reaction force estimation. To test the system, experiments were conducted in elastic and elastic-plastic materials. The results indicate that the proposed system is able to effectively control the contact force.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for actor-critic method using online support vector regression(SVR), which can do incremental learning and automatically track variation of environment with time-varying characteristics. It gives good generalization properties to value function approximation and helps the critic converge fast. In addition, sample vectors in data set of the online SVR are used as center positions of actor's basis functions. Actor updates policy parameters with those functions using policy gradient algorithm. Throughout simulations, the feasibility and usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparison with other methods.

The renewable energy has been attracting attention as a new alternative energy due to the problem of environmental pollution and resource depletion. In particular, daylighting and PV system are regarded as the solutions. In this paper, the hybrid dimming control system supplied by solar cell and daylighting system was designed. Daylighting system is main source and PV system is spare source. PV system operates the LED lamp which supports daylighting system because daylighting system is unstable due to the variation of irradiance. In addition, PV system has a role charging batteries. Battery charging has a benefit that PV system operate LED lamp in the bad weather. However, LED lamp always can't turn on that's why dimming control system was designed. In particular, the solar charging robot was designed to check the interior irradiance intensity. These systems and the application of the solar charging robot are expected to contribute developing alternative energy in the near future.

A wireless power transfer system can attribute to the fields in robot, aviation and space in which lightening the weight of device and improving the movement play an important role. A wireless power transfer system was investigated to overcome the inconvenience of using power cable. Especially a wireless power transfer technology is important element for mobile robots. We proposed the wireless power transfer system of the half-bridge resonant converter with the frequency tracking and optimized power transfer control unit. And the possibility of the application and development system was verified through the experiment with LED loads.
