  • Realization of Scaled Admittance Bilateral Control with Different Inertias Using Piezoelectric Actuator

    S Kozu, I Kotani, K Seki, N Motoi, T Nozaki

    　View Summary

    In micro-manipulations such as cell manipulation, it is desirable for the operator to feel the haptic sensation of the object. Bilateral control can remotely transmit position and force information between leader and follower systems. In this control, the use of a linear motor as a leader and a stacked piezoelectric actuator as a follower has been proposed to achieve micro-scale operation. There is a lot that needs to be clarified about bilateral control when the structure differs between leader and follower systems. In conventional scaled 4channel (4ch) bilateral control, a theory of oblique coordinate control has been proposed that considers differences in the inertia of leader and follower systems. However, when a piezoelectric actuator is used, the control scheme differs from using two linear motors with different inertias because the structures of the leader and follower systems are entirely different. Another method is scaled admittance bilateral control. However, the control design when structures and inertias of the two systems are different has not yet been clarified. In this paper, a scaled admittance bilateral control using a piezoelectric actuator and a linear motor is constructed. Experiments confirm that the realized scaled admittance bilateral control has the equivalent position and force tracking performances as the conventional scaled 4ch bilateral control using a piezoelectric actuator. Furthermore, the designed scaled admittance bilateral control is more robust to fluctuations in the nominal inertia of the piezoelectric actuator than the conventional scaled 4 ch bilateral control.

    Mountain tunnel excavation has two problems, which are a shortage of skilled engineers and frequent industrial accidents. Automation of mountain tunnel excavation is progressing to solve these problems. However, loading explosives in mountain tunnel excavation is difficult to automate because this task requires a sense of force. Motion reproduction is an expected method to automate the process of loading explosives that takes the sense of force into account. It uses bilateral control to save and reproduce motions and has the advantage of being able to reproduce forces and teach human skills to manipulators. On the other hand, motion reproduction cannot succeed in saved tasks when the relative position of the loading hole and manipulator or the direction of the loading hole changes from the saving phase. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to compensate for variations in relative position and direction by image processing based on depth information in motion reproduction for automation of loading explosives. Experiments showed the effectiveness of the proposed method through the successful reproduction of the insertion motion despite variations in relative position and direction.

  • Effect of Coil Size on Efficiency of Wireless Power Transfer with Magnetic Field Resonant by Halbach Array

    T Oba, Y Tomioka, T Nozaki

    2024 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM …    1050 - 1055 2024

    　View Summary

    In recent years, wireless power transfer (WPT) has become popular from the viewpoint of easy charging. Among them, magnetic field resonance WPT is being researched and developed due to its high efficiency. However, there are magnetic fluxes that cannot be used for power supply and are leaking out in magnetic field resonance WPT. Therefore, this paper applies a special magnet arrangement, a Halbach array, for transmission coils. The Halbach array transmission coils can concentrate the magnetic fluxes on one side. This feature allows the magnetic fluxes to be concentrated to increase the amount of magnetic fluxes chained to the receiving coil. It has a significant effect on efficiency. Since the size of the transmission and receiving coils also affects efficiency, this paper changes the size of the coils and analyzes its effect on efficiency. The efficiency of the Halbach array transmission coils will be confirmed by comparison with conventional transmission coils.

  • Vertical Adjustment Method with Mechanical Power Factor Feedback

    　View Summary

    There are some dangerous situations under tunnel construction. Since humans fill small halls on the surface of a tunnel with explosives by their hands, they always work with risks of injury or death due to accidents of unexpected explosions or collapses of tunnels. In order to proceed with construction, remote control robots that take the place of their work have been developed. Although they made construction safer for humans, the operation of remote control robots is difficult. This paper proposes a method to adjust the angle vertically by using mechanical power factor feedback. When the robot's arm hits the target object, it estimates an angle deviation by mechanical power. The mechanical power factor is an analogy to power factor in electronics, which is proposed to estimate an angle deviation easily instead of using an angle sensor. It makes it possible not only to evaluate a performance of robots but also estimate an angle deviation for the vertical adjustment. Thus, the proposal has advantages in terms of focusing on the mechanical power factor. By conducting simulations, the results of the estimation of angle deviation were verified.

    We conducted research on robot-assisted neuro-rehabilitation with Dr. Hermano Igo Krebs and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. Three types of tests, Discrete Movement, Rhythmic Movement, and Target Transition, were conducted to clarify the mechanism of human force generation. The results suggest that "the differential value of the force that humans can generate is sufficiently large, and that the response speed is due to visual information," "humans anticipate slight future movements and try to improve their movements," and "the law of superposition holds for the differential value of force. In addition, we succeeded in developing a new proximity sensor that can simultaneously measure distance, angle, and force. The research results were published in an international journal with Impact Factor 8.236 and received an award from the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

    　View Summary

    In this study, we proposed a method to give a robot a force-tactile sensation by installing a multi-degree-of-freedom force sensor at the base of a manipulator. When a force is applied to the manipulator from the external environment, the contact position and contact force can be calculated from the ratio of the force and moment in each axis direction. We implemented the proposed method on a commercial 6-DOF manipulator and confirmed that it is possible to calculate and control the contact position and contact force.
