    Toward Safe and High-Performance Human-Robot Collaboration Via Implementation of Redundancy and Understanding the Effects of Admittance Term Parameters
    (Cambridge University Press, 2022) Kanık, Mert; Ayit, Orhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver
    Summary Today, demandsin industrial manufacturing mandate humans to work with large-scale industrial robots, and this collaboration may result in dangerous conditions for humans. To deal with this situation, this work proposes a novel approach for redundant large-scale industrial robots. In the proposed approach, an admittance controller is designed to regulate the interaction between the end effector of the robot and the human. Additionally, an obstacle avoidance algorithm is implemented in the null space of the robot to prevent any possible unexpected collision between the human and the links of the robot. After safety performance of this approach is verified via simulations and experimental studies, the effect of the parameters of the admittance controller on the performance of collaboration in terms of both accuracy and total human effort is investigated. This investigation is carried out via 8 experiments by the participation of 10 test subjects in which the effect of different admittance controller parameters such as mass and damper are compared. As a result of this investigation, tuning insights for such parameters are revealed.

    A Multi-Priority Controller for Industrial Macro-Micro Manipulation
    (Cambridge University Press, 2021) Uzunoğlu, Emre; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    In this study, a control algorithm is proposed and evaluated for a special type of kinematically redundant manipulator. This manipulator is comprised of two mechanisms, macro and micro mechanisms, with distinct acceleration and work space characteristics. A control algorithm is devised to minimize the task completion duration and the overall actuator effort with respect to the conventional manipulator. A general framework multi-priority controller for macro-micro manipulators is introduced by utilizing virtual dynamics, which is introduced in null-space projection to achieve secondary tasks. The proposed controller is evaluated on a simulation model based on a previously constructed macro-micro manipulator for planar laser cutting. Task completion duration and the total actuator effort are investigated and the results are compared. Copyright © The Author(s), 2020. Published by Cambridge University Press.

    A Model Independent Observer Based Output Feedback Tracking Controller for Robotic Manipulators With Dynamical Uncertainties
    (Cambridge University Press, 2017) Zergeroğlu, Erkan; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Kaleli, Egemen
    In this work, we propose the development and the corresponding stability analysis of a novel, observer-based output feedback (OFB), tracking controller for rigid-link robot manipulators. Specifically, a model-independent variable-structure-like observer in conjunction with a desired dynamic compensation technique have been utilized to remove the link velocity dependency of the controller formulation. Asymptotic stability of the observer - controller couple is then guaranteed via Lyapunov-based arguments. An adaptive controller extension is also presented to illustrate the expansiveness of the proposed scheme. Experimental studies performed on a two-link planar robot with dynamical uncertainties are included in order to demonstrate the performance and feasibility of the proposed method.

    Adaptive Control of Redundant Robot Manipulators With Sub-Task Objectives
    (Cambridge University Press, 2009) Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Braganza, David; Burg, Timothy C.; Dawson, Darren M.
    In this paper, adaptive control of kinematically redundant robot manipulators is considered. An end-effector tracking controller is designed and the manipulator's kinematic redundancy is utilized to integrate a general sub-task controller for self-motion control. The control objectives are achieved by designing a feedback linearizing controller that includes a least-squares estimation algorithm to compensate for the parametric uncertainties. Numerical simulation results are presented to show the validity of the proposed controller.
