This paper proposes a new path planning method for obstacle avoidance of mobile robot. In order to achieve easy planning of the path, a simple representation of the empty space is achieved based on thinning algorithm. The proposed Planning technique facilitates the direct use of information obtained by camera. Comparing to the V-graph method, the task of determining the shortest path from the resulting skeleton of empty space is optimized in terms of number of computation steps. The usefulness of the proposed method is ascertained by simulation.

We develop an automatic trajectory planning system (ATPS) for painting robots by proposing a new trajectory planning scheme. The new scheme considers geometric modeling, painting mechanics, and robot dynamics to output an optimal trajectory (in the sense of coating thickness and painting time) based on the CAD data describing the shape of objects, The new scheme is implemented in SUN/4 workstation to develop an ATPS for painting robots. To test the validity of the new scheme and to illustrate the developed system, numerous runs are performed and analyzed.

A robot manipulator and an obstacle are described mathematically in joint space, with the mathematical representation for the collision between the robot manipulator and the obstacle. Using these descriptions, the robot motion planning problem is formulated which can be used to avoide a time varying obstacle. To solve the problem, the constraints on motion planning are discretized in joint space. An analytical method is proposed for planning the motion in joint space from a given starting point to the goal point. It is found that solving the inverse kinematics problem is not necessary to get the control input to the joint motion controller for collision avoidance.

이 논문에서는 매개변수(parameter)들이 시간에 따라 변하는 선형 시변 시스템(linear time-varying system)에서 시스템의 안정도(stability)를 보장할 수 있는 매개변수들의 변동영역(perturbation region of parameters)에 대한 충분조건을 시간영역에서 Lyapunov 방법을 사용하여 구하였다. 그리고 이 충분조건을 만족하는 매개변수 변동영역을 비선형 계획법(nonlinear programing)을 이용하여 구하는 방법을 제시하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 이 방법으로 지금까지 이루어져 왔던 다른 연구 결과들보다 더 넓고 다양한 매개변수 변동영역을 구할 수 있었다.

We propose a path planning method to improve the productivity of SMT (surface mount technology) inspection machines with an area camera. A unified method is newly proposed to determine the FOV clusters and camera sequence simultaneously. The proposed method is implemented by a hybrid genetic algorithm to increase the convergence speed. Comparative simulation results are then presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm.

Although service robots in various fields are being commercialized, most of them have problems that depend on explicit commands by users and have difficulty to generate robust reactions of the robot in the unstable condition using insufficient sensor data. To solve these problems, we modeled mirror neuron and theory of mind systems, and applied them to a robot agent to show the usefulness. In order to implement quick and intuitive response of the mirror neuron, the proposed intention-response model utilized behavior selection networks considering external stimuli and a goal, and in order to perform reactions based on the long-term action plan of theory of mind system, we planned behaviors of the sub-goal unit using a hierarchical task network planning, and controled behavior selection network modules. Experiments with various scenarios revealed that appropriate reactions were generated according to external stimuli.

Robot collects surrounding information to recognize tile unknown environment by using various sensors such as visual, infrared ray and ultra sonic sensors. Although visual sensor is the most popular one, it has some difficulties in collecting data in dark or too bright environment due to sensitivity of the light. It also requests significant amount of calculation on collecting data from certain images with marked, straight and curved ones. As an alternative, ultra sonic sensor can simply overcome this visual sensing system's flaw and easily be used. It is easier than visual system, especially in case of collecting data on object and distance in dark environment. Ultra sonic sensor can replace the expensive visual sensing system not only in avoiding obstacles but also in reaching to the target area smoothly. The purpose of this paper is to develop the algorithm to optimize the environmental recognition, path planning and free-ranging by minimizing errors caused by inaccurate information and by considering characteristics of the ultra sonic rays such as refraction and diffusion. This paper also realizes the system that can recognize the environment and make the appropriate path planning by applying the algorithm on this moving robot.

Due to the uncertainty of intention recognition for behaviors of users, the intention is differently recognized according to the situation for the same behavior by the same user, the accuracy of user intention recognition by minimizing the uncertainty is able to be improved. This paper suggests a novel ontology-based method to recognize user intentions, and able to minimize the uncertainties that are the obstacles against the precise recognition of user intention. This approach creates ontology for user intention, makes a hierarchy and relationship among user intentions by using RuleML as well as Dynamic Bayesian Network, and improves the accuracy of user intention recognition by using the defined RuleML as well as the gathered sensor data such as temperature, humidity, vision, and auditory. To evaluate the performance of robot proactive planning mechanism, we developed a simulator, carried out some experiments to measure the accuracy of user intention recognition for all possible situations, and analyzed and detailed described the results. The result of our experiments represented relatively high level the accuracy of user intention recognition. On the other hand, the result of experiments tells us the fact that the actions including the uncertainty get in the way the precise user intention recognition.

This paper presents algorithms for real-time navigation of a humanoid robot with a stereo vision but no other sensors. Using the algorithms, a robot can recognize its 3D environment by retrieving SIFT features from images, estimate its position through the Kalman filter, and plan its path to reach a destination avoiding obstacles. Our approach focuses on estimating the robot’s central walking path trajectory rather than its actual walking motion by using an approximate model. This strategy makes it possible to apply mobile robot localization approaches to humanoid robot localization. Simple collision free path planning and motion control enable the autonomous robot navigation. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.
