This paper presents a novel ultrasonic sensor system to overcome limited distance detection range that can be measured only more than 30cm by single ultrasonic transducer. This is accomplished by separation of receiving capacitive ultrasonic transducer from transmitting capacitive ultrasonic transducer. And hardwares and software of the system are described in detail. The system makes very close range as well as long range detect by wireless precisely. Frequency of trigger pulse is 10Hz, but it is very low frequency for transmitting data in wireless module. Therefore, for triggering between receiver and transmitter, an algorithm for mixing and distinguishing trigger pulse from carrier pulse by software is proposed. The system is designed by common microprocessor 8051. The performance of the proposed method has been assessed through two types. The first, transmitting and receiving transducer are put on both sides. And then, distance of two point is measured as far as 0mm. Secondly, transmitting transducer send out ultrasonic pulse and measure the time of flight(TOF) until a first echo from an object detected by the detached receiving transducer. The distance between the detached transducers and a reflecting object is measured as far as 7cm. Images of measured ultrasonic waves and TOF for two methods presented to prove effectiveness of results.

현대는 4차산업 혁명 시대로 정보 통신 기술(ICT)의 융합으로 다양한 분야에서 기술 혁신이 일어나고 있다 특히, 이 4차 산업혁명의 핵심은 시스템을 자동화 하는 로봇 기술이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 로봇 기술의 바탕은 시스템에 필요한 데이터 값을 읽어오는 센서 라고 볼 수 있는데 4차 산업혁명 시대에 맞춰 이 센서 역시 많은 종류가 있어 우리 주변에 존재하는 다양한 물리량(온도, 빛, 색, 압력, 전기, 속도 등)을 측정하여 우리가 필요로 하는 데이터 값을 손쉽게 읽어 올 수 있다. 이러한 센서 기술들을 적극 활용해 현대 시대에 뒤쳐진 선풍기를 소재로 하여 선풍기의 모든 시스템을 자동화 하여 사용하는 "스마트 선풍기"를 구현 하고자 한다. 스마트 선풍기의 가동은 선풍기 앞에 사람이 있는지를 판단하여 전원을 가동한다 이를 위해 선풍기 앞쪽에 열상카메라를 장착하여 선풍기 앞에 사람을 인식한다 만약 사용중 자리를 비우게 되면 따로 전원을 끌 필요 없이 센서가 읽는 값에 따라 자동으로 가동을 멈춘다. 또한 열상카메라로 사람이 움직이는지 판단하고 사용자가 움직이고 있다면 방향을 회전하여 해당 방향으로 바람이 가도록 만든다. 바람 세기 또한 온도 센서, 초음파 센서를 사용하여 온도값에 따라, 선풍기와 사람 간의 거리에 따라 바람세기를 제어할 수 있다.

Research in the machine tool industry has focused on ICT-based smart machines rather than hardware technologies related to machine tools. Real-time tool-status monitoring is representative of this type of technology and has become important for measuring sensors during cutting processes. In this paper, we studied several research areas and used a round bar to conduct fundamental research into the axial displacement of the main spindle of a tool when it was subjected to a machining load. We were able to use the gap sensor to detect the axial displacement indirectly by using grooves with various shapes on the round bar and sensing the gaps between the grooves. We then determined the optimal groove shape for monitoring the tool state.

In this paper, in order to improve the error is utilized to location tracking the smart sensor detects a walking information user, RSSI is to provide an indoor position tracking system that is capable of correcting an error in terms weak. The acceleration sensor is able to detect the activity in the user walking and detects the number of step and the moving distance using the same. The Direction sensor is utilized as a digital compass, to detect the moving direction of the user. As a result of detecting the walking information using the sensor, it can be showed that this proposed indoor positioning system has a high degree of accuracy for the number of steps and the movement direction. Therefore, this paper shows that the proposed technique can correct the error of the location information to be problem in the conventional indoor location system which uses the only Wi-Fi APs by estimating the user's movement direction and distance using the sensors in smartphone without an additional equipment and cost.

Obstacle Detection System(ODS) is a essential system for automated vehicle, such as AGV(Automatic Guided Vehicle), mobile robot. Automated vehicle must have a capability to detect and to avoid obstacles to guarantee a safe driving condition. To implement obstacle detection system, virtual bumper concept adapted. Like real bumper in a car, such as in the truck, it protects vehicle from collision using laser distance sensor. When an obstacle(such as other vehicle, building, etc) intrudes this virtual bumper area, a virtual force is calculated and produces necessary strategy to be able to avoid collision. In this paper, simplified virtual bumper concept is presented, and various problems when happens to implement are discussed.

A pressurizer is a major equipment system in a nuclear power plant (NPP) and controls the reactor cooling system pressure within the allowable range. Faults in the pressurizer can be critical to the NPP; therefore, early fault detection in the pressurizer is significant for NPP safety. This study applies Mahalanobis Taguchi system (MTS), which is one of the promising pattern classification methods, based on the Mahalanobis distance concept and Taguchi quality engineering theory to the early fault detection problem of the pressurizer pressure control system. We conducted experiments using data from full scope NPP simulator based on a pressurizer pressure transmitter faults scenario to validate the faults detection performance of MTS. As a result, MTS can rapidly detect the faults compared to conventional faults detection based on single sensor monitoring.

Fiber optic BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis) sensor was developed to be able to detect intrusion effect through several ten kilometer optical fiber. Fiber optic BOTDA sensor was constructed with 1 laser diode and 2 electro-optic modulators. The intrusion detection experiment was peformed by the strain inducing set-up installed on an optical table to simulating an intrusion effect. In the result of this experiment, the intrusion effect was well detected as the distance resolution of 3 m through the fiber length of about 4.81 km during 1.5 seconds.

GPS(Global Positioning System)로 대표되는 위성항법시스템(GNSS: Global Navigation Satel lite System)은 우주공간의 위성을 이용하여 사용자에게 위치와 함께 시각 정보를 제공해 준다. 위성항법시스템은 항법 분야 뿐 아니라 측량, 측지를 비롯하여 정밀 시각동기 및 지각변동의 측정까지 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 항법분야에 있어서 위성항법시스템의 오차를 제거한 정밀한 위치 정보를 이용하여 이동체에 활용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 위성항법을 움직이는 이동체에 적용할 경우 주변 환경에 따라 위성항법 신호의 오차가 증가하여 급격한 위치 오차를 유발하므로 추가적인 센서 사용을 통하여 안전성을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 위성항법 기반의 위치정보와 이동체에 부착되어 있는 센서 정보를 병렬적으로 사용하는 주행시스템을 구성하고 주행 시험을 수행하였다. 이동체에 부착되어 있는 센서 정보를 이용한 주행시스템의 경우 이동 거리를 측정할 수 있는 엔코더와 조향각을 측정할 수 있는 포텐셔미터 그리고 차량 모델을 이용하여 구성하였다. 시험 결과 위성항법기반의 위치 정보와 이동체의 센서 정보를 이용한 위치 오차의 차이는 0.4m 이내로 위성항법 신호에 급격한 오차가 들어오는 경우 이동체의 센서 정보를 이용하여 감지할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The ability of robot is being various and complex. The robot is utilizing distance, image data and voice data for sensing its circumstance. This paper suggests the 2-layer fuzzy control as the algorithm that control robot with various sensor information. In a obstacle avoidance, it utilizes many range finders and classifies them into 3parts(front, left, right). In 3 sub-controllers, the controller executes fuzzy conference. And then it executes combined control with a combination of outputs of 3 sub-controllers in the second step. The text compares the 2-layer fuzzy controller with the hierarchical fuzzy controller that has analogous structure. And the performance of the 2-layer fuzzy controller is confirmed by application this controller to robot following, simulation to each other and real experiment.

In the previous research, the research on the development of subway disaster detection system that discovers the disaster early warning of the subway station disaster and the evacuation to the passengers based on the Internet of things. This paper as a follow-up study analyzes the sensor data installed in the station in real time to quickly detect the disaster. In particular, we developed a statistical methodology based on the Mahalanobis distance in consideration of the environment that varies depending on the installation location of the sensor during initial system construction.
