Recently the need for cooperative control among robots is increasing in a variety of industrial robot applications. Such a control framework enhances the efficiency of the real robotic assembly environment along with extending the robot application. In this paper, an ethernet-based cooperative control framework was proposed. The cooperative control of robots can multiply the handling capacity of robot system, and make it possible to implement jigless cooperation, due to realization of trajectory-synchronized movement between a master robot and slave robots. Coordinate transformation was used to relate among robots in a common coordinate. An optimized ethernet protocol of HiNet was developed to maximize the speed of communication and to minimize the error of synchronous movement. The proposed algorithm and optimization of network protocol was tested in several class of robots.

다양한 산업 자동화 분야에 활용되고 있는 모션 제어 시스템의 핵심 요소인 모션 제어기는 모션 명령의 전송의 주기성과 각 모터 드라이브 간 동작시점의 편차 최소화 등 실시간 성능 요구사항을 가진다. 이러한 요구사항을 만족시키기 위해 모션 제어기는 전통적으로 하드웨어 중심의 전용기 형태로 구현되어 왔으나 시스템 간 호환성과 확장성의 한계로 소프트웨어 중심의 범용 모션 제어기로 대체되는 추세이다. 한편 최근에는 저비용, 고성능의 범용 임베디드 플랫폼을 이용한 모션 제어기에 대한 관심도 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고정밀 모션 제어 응용을 위해 ARM 기반 범용 임베디드 보드 상에서 Xenomai 기반 임베디드 제어기를 오픈소스 소프트웨어로 구현한 결과를 제시한다. 구현된 임베디드 제어기의 성능 평가를 위해 실제 응용 상황에서 측정 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험 결과 구현된 제어기는 드라이브 3개를 2 ms 제어주기로 동시 구동하는 환경에서도 안정적인 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a new technique to analyze data on the coordinate x, y, z and apply these data to design the motion control to improve the efficiency of the engraving machine so that it can engrave accordingly in 3 dimensions. First, the tool path on the x-y plane is analyzed to be synchronized with the z-axis. The digital data is then sent to the motion control to guide the movement of the engrave point on the x-y plane. Tool path moves along the x-axis with zero degree and different values of the y-axis according to the coordinate of the digital data and the analysis along z-axis to determine the depth for engraving. The depth can be specified from the gray level with the 256 levels of resolution. The data obtained includes the distances on x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, the acceleration of the engrave point's movement, and the speed of the engrave point's movement. These data is then transfered to the motion control to guide the movement of the engrave point along the z-axis associated with the x-y plane. The results indicate that engraving using this technique is fast and continuous. The specimen obtained looks perfect in 3D view.

In this article, we present the development of the automated system for adjusting the 6 D.O.F circular fixator. The system includes scheduling software to adjust the Hexapod Circular Fixator (HCF) and an automated strut system with the ability of the multiple synchronized motion. HCF was designed to control a 6 degree-of-freedom Ilizarove fixator and it's mechanism is known as the Stewart Platform. HCF scheduler evaluates each value of altered length of the HCF struts to correct the complex skeletal deformity by using the X-ray data of the patient. The data of HCF scheduler feed into the automated strut system which be able to provide the scheduled adjustment and the automated strut is synchronized by input data.

기존의 전용 하드웨어 기반 PLC 구현 방식의 한계를 극복하는 방안으로 최근에 범용 하드웨어 상에서 표준화된 PLC 언어를 이용해 모션 제어 응용을 구현하는 소프트웨어 기반 PLC 시스템이 각광받고 있다. 또한 모션 제어 응용의 다양한 산업 분야 활용에 따라 증대된 시스템 복잡도에 대응하면서도 응용을 손쉽게 개발할 수 있는 통합개발환경의 필요성도 날로 커지고 있다. 한편 기존의 저속 필드 버스를 대신하는 분산 제어 네트워크 기술로 저비용으로 대용량, 고속 통신 지원이 가능한 산업용 Ethernet 기술이 주목받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 형태의 PLC 통합개발환경인 Beremiz를 확장하여 주요 산업용 Ethernet 기술 중 하나인 EtherCAT 기반의 실시간 다축 동기 모션 제어 응용 개발 및 관리 기능을 설계, 구현하였다. 또한 상용 EtherCAT 모터 드라이브와 평가 보드와의 연동을 통하여 EtherCAT 시스템 관리 기능의 동작과 다축 제어의 실시간성 보장 여부를 검증하였다.

Synchronized switch damping (SSD) is a structural vibration control technique in which a piezoelectric patch attached to or embedded into the structure is connected to or disconnected from the shunt circuit in order to dissipate the vibration energy of the host structure. The switching process is performed by a digital signal processor (DSP) which detects the displacement extrema and generates a command to operate the switch in synchronous with the structure motion. Recently, autonomous SSD techniques have emerged in which the work of DSP is taken up by a low pass filter, thus making the whole system autonomous or self-powered. The control performance of the previous autonomous SSD techniques heavily relied on the electrical quality factor of the shunt circuit which limited their damping performance. Thus in order to reduce the influence of the electrical quality factor on the damping performance, a new autonomous SSD technique is proposed in this paper in which a negative capacitor is used along with the inductor in the shunt circuit. Only a negative capacitor could also be used instead of inductor but it caused saturation of negative capacitor in the absence of an inductor due to high current generated during the switching process. The presence of inductor in the shunt circuit of negative capacitor limits the amount of current supplied by the negative capacitance, thus improving the damping performance. In order to judge the control performance of proposed autonomous SSDNCI, a comparison is made between the autonomous SSDI, autonomous SSDNC and autonomous SSDNCI techniques for the control of an aluminum cantilever beam subjected to both single mode and multimode excitation. A value of negative capacitance slightly greater than the piezoelectric patch capacitance gave the optimum damping results. Experiment results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed autonomous SSDNCI technique as compared to the previous techniques. Some limitations and drawbacks of the proposed technique are also discussed.

Human feels kinesthetic sense in response to the force acted on him. In order to represent kinesthetic sense, a force is analyzed as mechanical impedance (i.e., stiffness or damping) and implemented by active impedance control. In this research, a 3-dimensional arm motion generator is developed to present various mechanical impedance characteristics to an operator. An introduction of virtual reality provides not only a visual effect in virtual environment but also the change in force synchronized with the visual effect in real time.

In this research, a real-time tele-operation system for unmanned excavator using the LTE communication system is suggested. The distance between the operator and the excavator is limitless as long as the LTE communication available. The motion and video data of the excavator is synchronized using the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and streamed to the operator for immersion feeling. The video is played on the operator's monitor and the motion data is used to regenerate the excavator movement on the developed master platform. In general, a excavator is tele-operated using RF signal and the maximum distance for direct control is limited to within a hundred meter. In this research, the immersion tele-operation system is suggested for excavator operation within an 100ms time delay using the developed master platform, the VCU and LTE communication. A successful test run of the suggested tele-operation system has already been performed between an operator in Songpa (Seoul) and a excavator in Ansan (Gyeonggi-do) which is approximately 35 km apart.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of the Thera-Band exercise program following total knee arthroplasty. Methods: The research design for this study was a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. Participants were 30 patients for the experimental group and 30 patients for the control group. The experimental group participated in the Thera-Band exercise program in addition to conventional CPM (continuous passive motion) exercise. The control group received conventional CPM exercise only. Outcome measures were pain, knee flexion range of motion, CRP, and psychological parameters (self-efficacy and fear of falling). Data were analyzed using ${\chi}^2$-test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, and repeated measure ANOVA with SPSS/PC version 21.0. Results: There were significant improvement in self-efficacy, and decreases in pain, and fear of falling in the experimental group compared to the control group. However, no significant differences were found between the two groups for CRP and knee flexion ROM. Conclusion: The Thera-Band exercise program gave an additional benefit over the conventional CPM exercise for patients following total knee arthroplasty, and is recommended for use as an effective nursing intervention for patients after total knee arthroplasty.
