DeMaMech: EU-Japan Collaboration in Higher Education Student Exchange Program

Offer of Research Topic

Offer from	University	Osaka University
	Faculty/Department/Institute	Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering
	Group Name	Machine Control
Research Theme		Control of Industrial Robotic Manipulator
Brief Explanation		Control system design with high performance is a crucial issue for industrial robots. Robotic mechanical arms should be regulated while vibration is controlled and velocity and acceleration are constrained. In this study, advanced two-degree of freedom control will be applied to an industrial robotic manipulator.
Research Steps		1. Literature survey (one month) 2. System modeling and identification (two months) 3. Controller design based on dynamical models and the simulator (three months) 4. Controller implementation and experiments using an industrial robot (three month) 5. Analysis and evaluation of the results (one month)
Period		10 months.
Necessary Background, Knowledge, Skills		Fundamental knowledge on systems and control theory. If necessary, some references can be specified.
