L2 Gain

Industrial manipulators are under various limitations against high quality motion control; for example, both frictional and dynamic disturbances should be dealt with a simple PID control structure. A robust linear PID motion controller, called the reference error feedback (REF), is proposed, which solves the nonlinear L2-gain attenuation control problem for robotic manipulators. The stability, robustness, and performance tuning of the proposed controller are analyzed. Making use of the fact that the single parameter of the induced L2-gain γ controls the performance with stability attained, we propose a simple and stable method of performance tuning called “the square law.” The analytical results are verified through experiments of a six-degrees-of-freedom industrial manipulator.

SUMMARY Rendering of rigid objects with high stiffness while guaranteeing system stability remains a major and challenging issue in haptics. Being a part of the haptic system, the behavior of human operators, represented as the mechanical impedance of arm, has an inevitable influence on system performance. This paper first verified that the human arm impedance can unconsciously be modified through imposing background forces and resist unstable motions arising from external disturbance forces. Then, a reliable impedance tuning (IT) method for improving the stability and performance of haptic systems is proposed, which tunes human arm impedance by superimposing a position-based background force over the traditional haptic workspace. Moreover, an adaptive IT algorithm, adjusting the maximum background force based on the velocity of the human arm, is proposed to achieve a reasonable trade-off between system stability and transparency. Based on a three-degrees-of-freedom haptic device, maximum achievable stiffness and transparency grading experiments are carried out with 12 subjects, which verify the efficacy and advantage of the proposed method.

The Stability

A series of model tests of a caisson in wet towing were conducted in a towing tank to assess the stability and effective power requirement in calm water and head sea conditions. The scale ratio of the model was 1/30, and the model-length-based Froude number in the tests ranged from 0.061 to 0.122, which is equivalent to 2 and 4 knots in the full scale, respectively. During the towing of the model, tension on the towline and six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) motion of the model were measured. Under the calm water condition, the effects of towing speed, draft, and initial trim variation on the towing stability and effective power were investigated. Initial trim improved stability and reduced required towing power. In head seas, effective power and towing stability were changed with the wavelength. It increased as the wavelength became longer, but the added resistance in long waves also stabilized the model with reduced yaw motion.

Abstract. The Delft Hand 2 (DH-2) is an underactuated robot hand meant for industrial applications, having six degrees of freedom (DoF), one actuator (DoA) and no sensors. It was designed to provide a cheap and robust hand to grasp a large range of objects without damaging them. The goal of this paper is to assess the design and performance of the DH-2, demonstrating how the design was optimized for its intended application area and how the hand was simplified to make it commercially attractive. Performance tests show that the DH-2 has a payload of 2 kg for an object range of 60 to 120 mm, it can close or open within 0.5 s, and it only uses open-loop control by means of the input voltage of the motor. The results demonstrate that the industrial need of a simple, cheap and effective robotic hand can be achieved with the principle of underactuation and the use of conventional components. This paper was presented at the IFToMM/ASME International Workshop on Underactuated Grasping (UG2010), 19 August 2010, Montréal, Canada.

Control Methodology

This paper presents an architecture and control methodology for a multi-degree-of-freedom teleoperator system. The approach incorporates impedance control of the telemanipulator pair and formulates the system as a single feedback loop encompassing the human operator, telemanipulator, and remote environment. In so doing, multivariable Nyquist-like techniques are used to design compensation for enhanced stability robustness and performance. A measure of the transparency exhibited by the multivariable teleoperator system is attained using matrix singular values. The approach is experimentally demonstrated on a three degree-of-freedom scaled telemanipulator pair with a highly coupled environment. Using direct measurement of the power delivered to the operator to assess the system’s stability robustness, along with the proposed measure of multivariable transparency, the loop-shaping compensation is shown to improve the stability robustness by a factor of almost two and the transparency by more than a factor of five.

Theory And Experiments

This work presents a control methodology for compliant motion in redundant robot manipulators. This control approach takes advantage of the redundancy in the robot’s degrees of freedom: while a maximum six degrees of freedom of the robot control the robot’s endpoint position, the remaining degrees of freedom impose an appropriate force on the environment. To verify the applicability of this control method, an active end-effector is mounted on an industrial robot to generate redundancy in the degrees of freedom. A set of experiments are described to demonstrate the use of this control method in constrained maneuvers. The stability of the robot and the environment is analyzed.

Difficulty Walking

This article presents the principles upon which a new nonanthropomorphic biped exoskeleton was designed, whose legs are based on an eight-bar mechanism. The main function of the exoskeleton is to assist people who have difficulty walking. Every leg is based on the planar Peaucellier–Lipkin mechanism, which is a one degree of freedom linkage. To be used as a robotic leg, the Peaucellier–Lipkin mechanism was modified by including two more degrees of freedom, as well as by the addition of a mechanical system based on toothed pulleys and timing belts that provides balance and stability to the user. The use of the Peaucellier–Lipkin mechanism, its transformation from one to three degrees of freedom, and the incorporation of the stability system are the main innovations and contributions of this novel nonanthropomorphic exoskeleton. Its mobility and performance are also presented herein, through forward and inverse kinematics, together with its application in carrying out the translation movement of the robotic foot along paths with the imposition of motion laws based on polynomial functions of time.
