  • Patent number: 8614558
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a motor control apparatus and a motor control method thereof. The motor control method includes estimating a current torque of a motor based on dynamics of a body driven by the motor, judging whether the estimated torque is higher than a predetermined torque value, compensating for a velocity profile to drive the motor from the predetermined torque value, upon judging that the estimated torque is higher than the predetermined torque value, and driving the motor using the compensated velocity profile. Thereby, the velocity profile is compensated for in real time, and thus the velocity of the motor is raised while preventing the motor from stepping out.

  • Patent number: 8560122
    Abstract: Disclosed is a teaching and playback method using a redundancy resolution parameter determined in conjunction with a joint structure, for a robot, and a method to apply analytic inverse kinematics to a robot having an elbow with an offset and a computer-readable medium of controlling the same. A reference plane variable with the joint structure is generated and an angle between the reference plane and an arm plane of the robot is used as the redundancy resolution parameter. The robot is taught and its operation is played back in differential inverse kinematics or analytic inverse kinematics using the resolution redundancy parameter.

  • Publication number: 20120109374
    Abstract: A motor velocity control apparatus and method in which the velocity of a motor to drive a joint of a robot is controlled. The motor velocity control apparatus and method compensates for a velocity profile used to drive a motor in real time using acceleration, thus increasing a driving velocity of the motor to the maximum velocity while stably maintaining performance of the motor. Thereby, efficiency of the motor is increased, the velocity of the motor is based on the acceleration made by data obtained through experimentation and is thus more precisely and simply calculated than the conventional compensation algorithm using dynamics, and reliability in driving of the motor is assured.

  • Patent number: 5964631
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided whereby a shadow mask support pin can be forced into a cathode ray tube panel without having to use any panel support post. Three or four support pads are utilized to support the bottom edge of the skirt portion of the panel. Each of the support pads may be elevationally moved by a drive unit. First through fourth distance sensors serve to detect the height of corner points on the interior surface of the panel face portion. A control device is adapted to control the operation of the drive unit in a manner that the corner points are brought into a predetermined reference plane before the support pin insertion proceeds. A fifth distance sensor may be further employed to detect the height of a center point.
