© 2018 IEEE. In recent years, the applications of robots have diversified, and interest in application to human living environment has increased. To co-exist with robots,it is necessary to ensure safety against collision. Conventional collision detection with a force sensor and collision mitigation by impedance control only have low adaptability. In thispaper, collision mitigation by combination of flexible structure and impedance control is proposed. Collision detection is performed by Load Disturbance OBserver (LDOB). In addition, switching control of the collision mitigation and damper control based on the estimated disturbance torque according to the environmental situation is proposed. Simulations are conducted forverifying the proposed approach.

© 2018 IEEE. Disturbance observer based compensation is a popular technique in motion control to compensate for the difference between an actual plant and its nominal model. Conventional implementation with pseudo derivative performs poorly when the measurement noise is large and the bandwidth has to be decreased. Low pass derivative FIR filters provide a frequency response closer to the ideal response than comparable pseudo derivative filters. This paper proposes a disturbance observer with low pass derivative FIR filter for DC motor with position measurement. The proposal is validated with numerical simulations.

© 2018 IEEE. Machine automation is getting significant attention from the society due to the declining labor population in Japan. This paper considers Motion Copying System (MCS) that is known as the machine automation method. MCS is able to play back the saved motion if environmental conditions between the saving and loading phases are the same. The variation of environmental condition, however, degrades the motion reproduction performance because the tactile information needs the bilateral communication between the master and the slave, which can also be said of the sender and the receiver, unlike the visual or audio information. This paper proposes the scaling adjustment method for compensating the environmental impedance variation between the saving and loading phases. The effectiveness of the proposal was verified through simulation.

© 2018 IEEE. Technologies for machine automation are strongly demanded in some developed countries due to achieve various tasks which could not be treated by human. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are currently being utilized for scientific, commercial and military applications. These vehicles require autonomous guidance and control systems in order to perform underwater tasks. Modeling, system identification and control strategy of these vehicles are still major areas of research and development. Various disturbance effects perturb a vehicle in underwater, but it is not really discussed by conventional control strategy. And thus this paper proposes a new control strategy which is still effective under the circumstances when the disturbance exists. Simulations were conducted for supporting the argument.

© 2018 IEEE. Technologies for the skill succession and machine automation are strongly demanded in some developed countries under the circumstance of declining working population due to the lower birth rate and the aged society. Motion copying system (MCS) is one of the methods for the skill succession and machine automation. MCS is able to play back the saved motion in the case that the environmental conditions between the saving and the loading phases are the same. Conventionally, the pure position controller, the pure force controller, or Hybrid Position and Force Control (HPFC) is applied to MCS. The reproduction performance is, however, degraded when the environmental variations happen. In such case, impedance control is applicable to MCS instead of HPFC. The purpose of this paper is to conduct the comparative study of some control strategies: position control, force control, HPFC, the Position-Based Impedance Control (PBIC), and the Force-Based Impedance Control (FBIC), and clarify which control strategy is appropriate for the tasks. Simulations were conducted for supporting the argument.

© 2018 IEEE. Some developed countries will encounter the shortage of working population, and machine automation is considered as one of the promising methods to overcome its issue. This paper considers Motion Reproduction System (MRS) as a method of the machine automation. MRS can be easily repeated the executed motion; however, this system is sensitive to environmental variations. One of simple countermeasures is introducing compensation values that are designed based on the environmental variations, but these values contain errors and degrade the motion reproduction. This paper proposes the modification of control impedance on the basis of the type of environmental variations, and the trustworthy information is much more weighted. The effectiveness of the proposal is verified through simulation and experiments.

© 2018 IEEE. Lower paralysis interrupts the mobility and depresses quality of life. Some incomplete paraplegia have an ability to walk in rehabilitation. However, incomplete paraplegia consumes larger energy for the gait motion than able-bodied people. Therefore, it is difficult for them to walk a long time. To solve this problem, many walking assist exoskeletons have been developed. In the case of walking assist, assist timing is one of the essential factors. The mismatch of assist timing interferes user's motion, thus it is required to adjust the assist timing. To control the assist timing, gait phase detection methods are used. Gait motion is divided into several phases. Many researchers introduce the gait phase detection method to control the assist timing. However, there is a mismatch between assist torque and ideal torque which is required by the user. There are no researches to evaluate the gait phase detection methods based on the analysis of the transition of assist torque required by the user. The purposes of this research are to propose the novel FSBM and evaluate the gait phase detection methods. In the experiment, a subject walks on the treadmill with wearing knee exoskeleton. The motor of the exoskeleton is controlled by the bilateral controller. Therefore, the assist torque can be adjusted to be suited to the user by manipulating master side motor. After the experiment, the assist torque and detected gait phases of proposed FSBM are compared to the conventional methods.

　概要を見る

The aim of this paper is to propose a novel robotic hand exoskeleton which can assist disabled people with grasping objects. Existing exoskeletons cannot measure force during contact motion, and this makes it difficult to achieve accurate grasp assistance. In the proposed system the exoskeletal finger is attached to the index and middle fingers, and the robotic finger is place on the palm side, which functions as a substitute of a thumb. The upper exoskeletal finger exerts assistive force on operator's fingers, and the lower robotic finger works as a force sensor by the use of Reaction Torque Observer. Thus, human grasping force is measured during grasping, and the environmental and human forces are estimated from measured torque. The proposed system realizes power assist control without using additive sensors like force sensors or EMG sensors. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through simulation and experiment.

　概要を見る

A stability index has been generally used in a gait system of formulaic structure. In this standardized structure, a human model has a center of gravity (COG), while a robot device has a zero moment point (ZMP) with COG as the stability standard in the walking motion. In the gait system of wearable type, the stability of human model is closely related with the robot device, in other words, the COG and ZMP are located in the limited domain of human motion and robot task. In this paper, the human and device are designed individually and the knee joint of human is unconstrained from the device work to allow the human reliance. The stability index that includes the COG and ZMP is defined. The validation of this index is guaranteed through a few tests to describe a correlation between the stability index and the human model condition. Based on the validity of the stability index, the experiment for the walking stabilization is implemented with the ZMP estimation by reaction torque observer.

© 2018 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. This paper aims to realize position and torque sensorless motion transmission between a generator and a motor. The proposed voltage compensation method requires only one current sensor on the generator side. Since the motor side is completely sensorless, this system is suitable for operation under harsh environments. Comparative analyses indicate that the proposed method satisfies the conditions for the transmission of an actual tactile sensation. Simulations and experiments confirmed that motion transmission is realized using the proposed method.

© 2018 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. An aging society is a serious problem in many developed countries. Due to this issue, there has been a significant increase in the demand for assist devices that can support human motion. This paper proposes a novel assist device, Intelligent Tension Pole (ITP), to assist in indoor activities of daily living (ADL), and it is expected to provide support for achieving self-reliance, space saving, and stability. The structure and control system of this assist device are presented. This novel assist device is based on a movable handrail, and therefore wheels are added to the lower and upper ends of the tension pole. In addition, a ball screw, which enables the ITP to move while stretching to the floor and ceiling at any time using force control, is added. In order to improve user comfort and reduce the risk of falling down of the ITP, translation and inclination controls of the ITP are applied to the wheel control. These controls are controlled independently by the mode decoupling method. Experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed device and its control system.

© 2018 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Road traffic accidents are a leading cause of avoidable deaths, especially among young persons. Because driver behavior is a major cause for these the incidents, any device able to help the driver should lower casualties. As an intermediary step between autonomous vehicles and human driven ones, active driving assistance technology can help the driver maintain a safe trajectory. Applying remote control to vehicles could also decrease the probabilities of accidents, by facilitating the reduction of the duration of the driving sessions, especially in fret transport applications, decreasing drowsiness of the driver, a factor that increases the occurrence of accidents. However, the addition of remote control conducts to a communication time delay that can be dangerous in cruising situations. This paper presents the application of an active driving assistant to compensate for the effects of the communication time delay in collision avoidance scenarios using a small-scale vehicle.
