본 논문은 이동로봇의 다양한 작업들 중에 선행하는 물체를 안정하게 추종하는 동작중 예기치 못한 움직이는 장애물의 효과적인 회피 방법을 고려한다. 센서 기반의 이동로보트에서는 이동물체 추종과 충돌회피를 센서정보에 의존해서 해결해야 하는데 동일한 센서 정보로 추종물체와 충돌물체를 구분하는 것이 쉽지 않은 문제이다. 또한 명확히 규정되지 않은 환경에서 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이와 같이 명확히 규정되지 않은 환경에서 선행물체의 안정한 추종과 추종 중에 마주치는 이동 장애물에 대한 충돌회피를 위하여 이동로봇의 상태 판단에 따라 구분된 행동 선택 모드를 제안하고 실험적으로 확인한다.

This paper proposes a control method for a differential robot to track and follow a moving object based on ultrasonic sensor. To track a target object, the method uses a transmitter and two receivers to get distances from the object. The method derives translational and rotational error by the distances and then it uses the errors to calculate control values based on PID control method. The control values are used to control the robot to follow moving object. The authors do some experimentations to analyze some characteristics such as influence of PID gain, influence of translational and rotational gain. This method not only can be applied for following moving object problem but also can be done group unit control problems.

This paper proposes an efficient and accurate vision based recognition and tracking framework for texture free objects. We approached this problem with a two phased algorithm: detection phase and tracking phase. In the detection phase, the algorithm extracts shape context descriptors that used for classifying objects into predetermined interesting targets. Later on, the matching result is further refined by a minimization technique. In the tracking phase, we resorted to meanshift tracking algorithm based on Bhattacharyya coefficient measurement. In summary, the contributions of our methods for the underwater robot vision are four folds: 1) Our method can deal with camera motion and scale changes of objects in underwater environment; 2) It is inexpensive vision based recognition algorithm; 3) The advantage of shape based method compared to a distinct feature point based method (SIFT) in the underwater environment with possible turbidity variation; 4) We made a quantitative comparison of our method with a few other well-known methods. The result is quite promising for the map based underwater SLAM task which is the goal of our research.

컴퓨터 비전을 이용한 이진 영상 데이터 처리는 사용자가 원하는 객체를 배경과 분리하여 추출하는 데에 유용하며 객체 위치 검출에는 테두리 검출(edge detection), 센트로이드 검출 (centroid detection) 등 다양한 기법들이 사용되어 왔다. 연속해서 움직이는 객체의 위치를 테두리 검출 기법을 이용하여 추종 시, 조명과 환경 잡음에 민감한 영상 데이터의 특성상 객체의 테두리 부분은 매 프레임마다 조금씩 차이가 있어 위치를 검출하는 데에 오차가 발생하기 쉽다. 그러나 센트로이드 기법으로 구할 경우 많은 픽셀의 무게중심을 구하는 것이므로 그 오차를 줄여 빠르고 정확한 위치 검출에 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 LabVIEW를 이용하여 진자운동 하는 물체의 센트로이드 점을 구하여 실시간 위치 검출을 구현한다.

This paper introduces an objects recognition algorithm based on SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) and GP(Genetic Programming) based gaits generation. Combining both methods, a recognition based intelligent walking for quadruped robots is proposed. The gait of quadruped robots is generated by means of symbolic regression for each joint trajectories using GP. A position and size of target object are recognized by SURF which enables high speed feature extraction, and then the distance to the object is calculated. Experiments for objects recognition and autonomous walking for quadruped robots are executed for ODE based Webots simulation and real robot.

This paper proposed a framework of recognition and tracking for underwater objects using sonar images as an alternative of underwater optical camera which has the limitation of usage due to turbidity. In Part 1, a design and recognition method for 2D artificial landmark was proposed considering the practical performance of current imaging sonars. In particular, its materials are selected in order to maximize detectability based on characteristics of imaging sonar and ultrasonic waves. It has a simple and omni-directional shape which allows an easy modeling of object, and it includes region based features as identifications. Also, we proposed a real-time recognition algorithm including edge detector, Hough circle transforms, and shape matrix based recognition algorithm. The proposed methods are verified by basin tests using DIDSON.

In a magnetic train set composed of more than two cars, the installation of dampers between cars is carefully considered for improving both the ride quality and the safety, particularly during curve negotiation. In this study, a dynamic simulation of the ride quality and curve negotiation of a Maglev vehicle was carried out. The dynamic model is developed based on multibody dynamics. The presented full vehicle multibody dynamic model integrates the electromagnet model and its control algorithm. By using this model, the effects of the dampers are numerically analyzed. The proposed damper is installed on the vehicle and tested to analyze its effects. In this study, the simulation and measured results of the vehicle behavior and ride quality are discussed.

Induction heating system is time varying system around curie point. So, it has many troubles which are system shut down and change the load impedance. In this paper has been designed the parallel resonant inverter which controlling the constant power and tracking the load resonant frequency with PLL is possible, in order to minimize switching losses and solve it's many troubles. The current full-bridge type parallel resonant inverter of an induction heating system was composed of IGBT in switching device. For regulating the output power of an induction heating system, the Fuzzy logic controller is used. The Fuzzy controller makes the control signal for a stable power regulating control and when reference is changed, it is superior to adaptability. It has been evaluated a stable behavior for a noise with switching and a load disturbance.
