| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this investigation, we proposed a novel energy saving control method for multibody systems such as robot manipulators using passive storage elements. Firstly, we examined the simultaneous optimization problem of spring parameters and trajectories with respect to the energy consumption based on optimal control theory. We analyzed the relationship between the consumed energy and the operating time, derived a condition for the operating time to be optimal, and proposed a corresponding design method for springs. After that, we considered the practical design and control problems to realize the proposed energy saving method. In order to verify the proposed method, a prototype 2DOF manipulator was developed by using linear springs and reaction wheels. The experimental results showed the effectiveness of the proposed energy saving control method.
