A mobile surveillance robot is defined as a surveillance robot system that is mounted on a mobile platform and is used to protect public areas such as airports or harbors from invaders. The mobile surveillance robot that is mounted on a mobile platform consists of a gun module, a camera system module, an embedded control system, and AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System). It has two axis control systems for controlling its elevation and azimuth. In order to obtain stable images for targeting invaders, this system requires a stabilizer to compensate any disturbance due to vehicle motion. In this study, a virtual model of a mobile surveillance robot has been created and ADAMS/Matlab simulations have been performed to verify the suitability of the proposed stabilization algorithm. Further, the suitability of the stabilization algorithm has also been verified using a mock-up of the mobile surveillance robot and a 6-DOF (Degree Of Freedom) motion simulator.

This paper proposes the design of a closed-loop stepping motor drive for real-time Ethernet (RTE), which can be easily applied to a variety of RTE protocols. The proposed design is divided into a closed-loop step motor drive which can be reused for various types of RTE protocol and RTE module developed for each specific RTE protocol. It is based on a layered architecture so that the motion control algorithm can be easily reused independently of the RTE protocol and motion profile. To verify the proposed design, closed-loop motor drives based on EtherCAT and Mechatrolink III were developed and their performances were evaluated. Cycle time was measured to verify the real-time communication performance of the developed EtherCAT and Mechatrolink III based motor drive. As a result, the EtherCAT was 7.5 times faster than the Mechatrolink III when 32 motor drives were connected.

In this paper, scanning backlight unit which can reduce motion blur was designed and fabricated using flat fluorescent lamp. The FFL(flat fluorescent lamp) is in the limelight as a new illuminant of next generation BLU(backlight unit), because of simple assembly and reduction of driving components. In order to control lamp brightness, lamp on-time was controlled. In this experiment, it was confirmed that lamp brightness can be dimmed linealy and in a wide range.

Recently the need for cooperative control among robots is increasing in a variety of industrial robot applications. Such a control framework enhances the efficiency of the real robotic assembly environment along with extending the robot application. In this paper, an ethernet-based cooperative control framework was proposed. The cooperative control of robots can multiply the handling capacity of robot system, and make it possible to implement jigless cooperation, due to realization of trajectory-synchronized movement between a master robot and slave robots. Coordinate transformation was used to relate among robots in a common coordinate. An optimized ethernet protocol of HiNet was developed to maximize the speed of communication and to minimize the error of synchronous movement. The proposed algorithm and optimization of network protocol was tested in several class of robots.

In this paper, we propose a real-time centralized soft motion control system for high speed and precision robot control. The system engages EtherCAT as high speed industrial motion network to enable force based motion control in real-time and is composed of software-based master controller with PC and slave interface modules. Hard real-time control capacity is essential for high speed and precision robot control. To implement soft based real time control, The soft based master controller is designed using a real time kernel (RTX) and EtherCAT network, and servo processes are located in the master controller for centralized motion control. In the proposed system, slave interface modules just collect and transfer all sensor information of robot to the master controller via the EtherCAT network. It is proven by experimental results that the proposed soft motion control system has real time controllability enough to apply for various robot control systems.

This paper addresses a new algorithm for a stereo visual odometry to measure the ego-motion of a vehicle. The new algorithm introduces an inlier grouping method based on Delaunay triangulation and vanishing point computation. Most visual odometry algorithms rely on RANSAC in choosing inliers. Those algorithms fluctuate largely in processing time between images and have different accuracy depending on the iteration number and the level of outliers. On the other hand, the new approach reduces the fluctuation in the processing time while providing accuracy corresponding to the RANSAC-based approaches.

A Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) has been developed by Turbotek Co., Ltd. The developed system has multi-domain functionality-including sequence control, motion control and HMI- on a single platform. The PAC also has a common development platform for the design and integration of multi-domain automated systems. Since hardware of the developed system has modular architectures, performance and specification of the controller are determined by combination of specific modules. The developed system employs de facto standards such as OPC interface that allow users to easily exchange data as part of networked multi-vendor systems.

Motion estimation is crucial in a remote control for its convenience or accuracy. Time delays, however, can occur in the problem because data communication is required through a network. In this paper, state estimation problem with uncertain time delayed measurements is addressed. In dynamic system with noise, after taking measurements, it often requires some time until that is available in the filter algorithm. Standard filters not considering this time delays cannot be used since the current measurement is related with a past state. These delayed measurements are solved with augmented extended Kalman filter, and the uncertainty of delayed time is also resolved based on an explicit formulation. The proposed method is analyzed and verified by simulations.
