Research Abstract |
The purpose of the research lies in the realization of the task-oriented control which ensures reliable autonomous task execution without breaking very small object such as micromachine under high resolutional optical microscope. The results can be summarized as follows : 1. Realization of concentrated motion manipulator : taking account of micro object handling tasks, we make clear the necessary functions of a manipulation system to execute micro object handling. A new design concept of "concentrated motion manipulator" suitable for small object handling is proposed and a new manipulation system based on the concept is designed and realized. The manipulator has 7 D.O.F.'s with mano-meter order positional accuracy. The main feature of the manipulation system is that motion of the manipulator is concentrated to the center of the field of view of a microscope to ensure task execution with visual monitoring. 2. Realization of task-oriented control : In micro task execution, a robot frequently breaks the object, because the object is much weaker than the object in our macro world. To cope with this problem, we realized the task-oriented control. The control method is the repetition of the following two steps : a)the robot predicts very near future task situation by utilizing geometric model of the working environment and the robot plans its sensor usage to ensure reliable recognition of task status, b)the robot plans a behavior to recover from error status to normal status utilizing the same prediction procedures of a)and execute the planned behavior. By repeating the stated procedures rapidly, the robot reliably pursuit the task. 3. Assembly experiment of micromachine : By integrating the hardware and software stated above, Such micro task execution of assembly of micro machines as well as the repair of micro patterns are successfully performed to prove the effectiveness of the task-oriented control method.
