Many countries are trying to deploy satellite surveillance systems for their national defense, and one of these system uses optical systems to observe the satellites above their territories. The optical satellite surveillance system requires the coordinates of the satellites in an acquired image and expects that those coordinates to be delivered to the tracking system. The proposed method detects the satellite sources in a high-resolution image with fast image processing for the optical surveillance system. To achieve faster detection, the proposed method reduces the size of the original image and approximates the trajectory of a satellite, so image processing methods are only applied to the nearby area of the approximated trajectory in the original image. The proposed method shows the similar detection performance faster than the previous method.

This paper proposes an improved path-planning technique based on the $A^*$ algorithm. The conventional $A^*$ algorithm only considers the optimality of the planned path and sometimes produces a path that an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) cannot navigate due to its dynamic constraint such as the limit of the radius of gyration. It is because that the previous method evaluate the moving cost based on the straight distance between nodes. We enhance the conventional method by evaluating the moving cost on the basis of the practically navigable trajectory, which is generated by the waypoint-tracking control of the UUV dynamics. The simulation examples indeed show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

Reference trajectory generation plays a key role in the computer control for accurate position control of machine. Generated trajectories must not only describe the desired tool path accurately, but must also have smooth kinetic profiles in order to maintain higher tracking accuracy, and to avoid exciting the natural modes of the mechanical servo control system. To achieve higher accurate position control, a method of limiting accelerating and decelerating speed data of reference trajectories is proposed to draw the path with an assigned accuracy without any complex operations.

This work presents a synchronized on-line trajectory generation algorithm for mechanical system with multiple degrees-of-freedom. Proposed algorithm is designed to generate time-optimized trajectories and synchronized trajectories under the constraints such as maximum speed, acceleration, deceleration, non-zero initial velocity, etc. Also, because of small computation time, therefore this can be applied in real-time and it is easier to change the trajectory when an event occurs. We verified the feasibility through various trajectory generation.

This paper shows the basic configuration for the system(H/W and S/W) which can interface between the PC and the slave robot. The PC(personal computer) is used for the basic MMI(Man-Machine Interface) system. The slave robot is controlled through the PC, actually the generated trajectory by using polynomials. The velocity control is carried out at the via points of the rrajectory. The heuristic method which chooses the average of the two slopes as the via velocity is used for the velocity control. From the simulation results, we can choose the better trajectory polyomial for reducing the deviation error at the starting and arriving parts.

Robot usually requires spline motion to move through multiple knots. In this paper, catmull-rom spline method is applied to the trajectory planning of industrial robot in task space. Centripetal catmull-rom is selected to avoid self-intersection and slow motion which can be occurred in uniform and chordal spline. The method to set two control points are proposed to satisfy velocity conditions of initial and final knots. To optimize robot motion, time scaling method is presented to minimize margin between real robot value and maximum value in velocity and acceleration. The simulation results show that the proposed methods are applied to trajectory planning and robot can follow the planned trajectory while robot motion does not exceed maximum value of velocity and acceleration.

이족 보행 로봇의 연구는 평지에서의 보행에 관한 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 현재는 평지뿐만 아니라 비평지, 경사면, 계단 등과 같은 특수한 상황에서의 보행이 연구되고 있지만 대부분 여러 가지 제약조건이 뒤따르고 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 퍼지 시스템과 신경망을 이용하여 이러한 제약 조건을 극복하였다. 신경망을 이용하여 이족 보행 로봇의 보행궤적을 생성하였으며, 퍼지 시스템은 로봇의 자세제어를 하는데 이용되었다. 또한 이족 보행 로봇이 로봇 내부 및 외부의 상황을 스스로 인지하기 위해서 자이로, 압력센서, 적외선, 초음파 센서를 이용하였다.

In this paper, we propose the trajectory generation method for bipedal walking on the stairs. This method is based on multi-masses inverted pendulum mode (MMIPM). MMIPM can effectively reduce the ZMP error but it is only applied to walking on the flat ground. In order to reduce ZMP error when a robot walks on the stairs, we generate the walking motion by MMIPM and modify that motion using parametric functions. We determine the values of the parameters by the simulations. Simulation results show that the robot can walk more stable on the stairs.

This paper is concerned with the generation of a balancing trajectory for improving the walking performance. The balancing motion has been determined by solving a second -order differential equation. However, this method caused some difficulties in linearizing and approximating the equation and had restrictions on using various balancing trajectories. The proposed difficulties in linearizing and approximating the equation and had restrictions on using various balancing trajectories. The proposed method i this paper is based on the genetic algorithm for minimizing the motins of balancing joints, whose trajectories are generated by the fifth-order polynomial interpolation after planning leg trajectories. The real walking experiments are made on the biped robot IWR-III, developed by our Automatic Control Laboratory. The system has 8 degrees of freedom and the structure of three pitches in each leg, and one roll and one prismatic joint in the balancing joints. The experimental result shows the validity and applicability of the new proposed algorithm.

Most motion control systems consist of a desired trajectory generator, a motion controller such as a conventional PID controller, and a plant to be controlled. The desired trajectory generator as well as the motion controller is very important to achieve a good tracking performance. Especially, if the desired trajectory is generated actively utilizing the maximum velocity, acceleration, jerk and snap as given system specifications, the tracking performance would be better. For this, we make use of the properties of convolution operator in order to generate a smooth (S-curve) trajectory satisfying the system specifications. Also, the proposed trajectory generation method is extended to more general cases with arbitrary initial and terminal conditions. In addition, the suggested trajectory generator can be easily realized for real-time implementation. Finally, the effectiveness of the suggested method is shown through numerical simulations.
