This paper presents the responses of underwater manipulator control using conventional PID controller. Underwater manipulation tasks are difficult due to the presence of water as its environment. Many underwater vehicles invented incorporate underwater manipulators which could be used for underwater rescue, recovery or operations such as welding or ship repair. It is desired to investigate the position response of underwater manipulator using conventional PID control without modelling the dynamics which includes motion in water. For this purpose, a single link manipulator was experimented and compared between the response of the manipulator underwater and the manipulator without water to compare accuracy of the position tracking. Two different reference trajectories were given, namely step and varying frequency position control.

Restricted space inside the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner bore prevents surgeons to directly interact with the patient during MRI-guided procedures. This motivates the development of a robotic system that can act as an interface during those interventions. In this paper, we present a master-slave robotic system as a solution to the aforedescribed issue. The proposed system consists of a commercial PHANTOM device (product of The Sensable Technologies) as the master robot and an MRI-compatible patient-mounted parallel platform (that we name ROBOCATH) designed to serve as the slave mechanism inside the scanner bore. We present in this paper the design principles for the platform, as well as the PID control design for the system. We use our experimental setup to evaluate the performance of the system by examining the effectiveness of the slave platform in tracking the reference trajectories generated by the master robot.

In this paper, we propose a novel scheme of IMC-PID control combined with a tribes type neural network (NN) for the position control of ultrasonic motor (USM). In this method, the NN controller is employed for tuning the parameter in IMC-PID control. The weights of NN are designed to be updated by the tribes-particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. This method makes it possible to compensate for the characteristic changes and nonlinearity of USM. The parameter-free tribes-PSO requires no information about the USM beforehand; hence its application overcomes the problem of Jacobian estimation in the conventional back propagation (BP) method of NN. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by experiments.
