Industrial Manipulator Development [08'-12']
Up to now, most of big size industrial manipulators are developed and commercialized by only a few companies; ABB, FANUC, KUKA, and YASKAWA. Those companies have high-quality of robot technology, but their robots are expensive and hard to be customized by individual customer's needs. We localized the big size of manipulators and customized their functions to adapt into Samsung's factories. In this project, I was a charge of "Motion Planning & Control," and had developed a number of motion control technologies. Currently, 14 numbers of manipulators are successfully operating in Samsung Corning Precision's factory. Following shows what kinds of technique I developed and researched.
- 6-DoF Glass Handling Robot Development for Gen.11 & Gen.8 LCD Glass.
- Auto Gain Tuning - Iterative Learning Control (ILC)
- Auto Teaching & Apparatus
- Industrial Transfer Robot
- Dual Manipulation with 7-DoF Redundant Arms
My robot engineer career is started with Dual Manipulation Project in Samsung, which is designed for factory automation using two set of 7-DoF redundant arms and one waist joint. My task was covering all the parts of motion planning such as from kinematics to Impedance & Collaboration Control. Followings show what I researched and developed with details. These achievement is finally used for LCD TV assembly demonstration. It was a good chance to test my knowledge and experience from schools.

<Definition of Reference Plane for Modified Arm Angle>
- Redundancy Resolution Control w/ Modified Arm Angle
Disclosed is a teaching and playback method using a redundancy resolution parameter determined in conjunction with a joint structure, for a robot, and a method to apply analytic inverse kinematics to a robot having an elbow with an offset and a computer-readable medium of controlling the same. A reference plane variable with the joint structure is generated and an angle between the reference plane and an arm plane of the robot is used as the redundancy resolution parameter. The robot is taught and its operation is played back in differential inverse kinematics or analytic inverse kinematics using the resolution redundancy parameter.

Dynamic Movement Primitives with Obstacle Avoidance [07'~08']
Robots in a human environment need to be compliant. This compliance requires that a pre-planed movement can be adapted to an obstacle that may be moving or appearing unexpectedly. Here, we present a general framework for movement generation and mid-flight adaptation to obstacles. For robust motion generation, Ijspeert et al developed the dynamic movement primitives, which represent a demonstrated movement with a differential equation. This equation allows adding a perturbing force without sacrificing stability. We extend this framework such that arbitrary movements in end-effector space can be represented - which was not possible before. Furthermore, we include obstacle avoidance by adding to the equation of motion a repellent force - a gradient of a potential field centered around the obstacle. In addition, this article studies the effect of different potential fields and shows how to avoid obstacle-link collisions within this framework. We demonstrate the abilities of our framework in simulations and with an anthropoid robot arm.

Manipulation for Rover Robot & DSC System [07'~08']
This project is to see the feasibility that a small manipulator performs soil-analysis in other planets. We used a PhanTom 3-DoF Arm with CCD camera, which picks and places a soil sample into a capsule. Then, it send the capsule to Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) system, which separates water from soil and analyze its components. To control this robot, I applied Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) mentioned above and accomplished a successful demonstration.
This project was supported by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and demonstrated in there. Followings show the keywords.

Turning Pattern Generation using Spin Momentum on HRP2 [05'~06']
This research is performed for bachelor thesis in Arai Lab, Osaka Univ. I verified the possibility of dynamic turning motion using the angular momentum while robot's rotating under Resolved Momentum Control. This turning motion consists of robot body's angular momentum and the spin state of the sole of foot. The spin makes it easy to conserve the entire angular momentum. Finally, it shows that dynamic turning motion allows the larger turning than other static turning motion. Followings show the keyword.

Control System for Pneumatic Humanoid [06']
This research is performed in Asada-Hosoda Lab, Osaka Univ. The goal of this research is to design a linear control system for McKibben, which is an artificial muscle of Pneumatic Humanoid. Since McKibben uses compressed air, we proposed PWM - air flow control system which controls the on/off air valve.
