The distance between objects and a service robot can be measured by stereo vision system, but the two cameras need the same number of image grabber boards. In this paper, an approach to measure the distance is presented by using one camera which moves horizontally via motor position control. Images are captured at two different places where we know, and distance calculation is performed with the images and the camera position data. With a simple algorithm the proposed system requires only one image grabber board and no camera sequence controls are necessary, which resuces the system costs.

In this paper, we propose a hierarchical motion controller with stand-alone vision system to enhance the flexibility of the robot soccer system. In addition, we simplified the model of dynamic environments of the robot using petri-net and simple state diagram. Based on the proposed model, we designed the robot soccer system with velocity and position controller that includes 4-level hierarchically structured controller. Some experimental results using the stand-alone vision system from host system show improvement of the controller performance by reducing processing time of vision algorithm.

For exposure systems, very accurate alignment between the mask and the substrate is indispensable. In this paper, an automatic alignment system using machine vision for exposure systems is described. Machine vision algorithms are described in detail including extraction of an alignment mark's center position and camera calibration. Methods for extracting parameters for alignment are also presented with some compensation techniques to reduce alignment time. Our alignment system was implemented with a vision system and motion control stages. The performance of the alignment system has been extensively tested with satisfactory results. The performance evaluation shows alignment accuracy of lum within total alignment time of about $2{\sim}3$ seconds including stage moving time.

In this paper, we address the problem of controlling an end-effector to track and grab a moving target using the visual servoing technique. A visual servo mechanism based on the image-based servoing principle, is proposed by using visual feedback to control an end-effector without calibrated robot and camera models. Firstly, we consider the control problem as a nonlinear least squares optimization and update the joint angles through the Taylor Series Expansion. And to track a moving target in real time, the Jacobian estimation scheme(Dynamic Broyden's Method) is used to estimate the combined robot and image Jacobian. Using this algorithm, we can drive the objective function value to a neighborhood of zero. To show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, simulation results for a six degree of freedom robot are presented.

This study presents intelligent deburring system which can transfer the exper's skill to deburring robot through neural network. The expert's skill is expressed as associate mapping between the characteristics of the burr and human expert's action. Under the fundamental idea that the state of the deburring process can be extracted via the visual sense of the human, we employ vision system for the perception and identification of the changing burr. From the demonstration of human experts, force data are measured and fitted impedance model. Finally the characteristics of the burr and coressponding force are associated by the neural network which is trained through many demonstrations. The proposed method is verified in the deburring process of welding burr.

과거의 이동로봇 시스템은 완전한 자율주행이 주된 목표였으며 그때의 영상정보는 단지 모니터링을 하는 보조적인 수단으로 사용되었다. 그러나 지금은 이동 물체의 추적, 대상 물체의 인식과 판별, 특징 추출과 같은 다양한 응용분야에서 영상정보를 이용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다 또한 제어 측면에서는 전통적인 제어기법으로는 해결하기 힘들었던 여러 가지 비선형적인 제어를 지능제어 방법을 통하여 많이 해결하곤 하였다. 그러한 지능제어에서 신경망을 많이 사용하기도 한다. 최근에는 신경망의 학습에 많이 사용하는 방법 중 강화학습이 많이 사용되고 있다. 강화학습이란 동적인 제어평면에서 시행착오를 통해, 목적을 이루기 위해 각 상황에서 행동을 학습하는 방법이다. 그러므로 이러한 강화학습은 수많은 시행착오를 거쳐 그 대응 관계를 학습하게 된다. 제어에 사용되는 제어 파라메타는 어떠한 상태에 처할 수 있는 상태와 행동들, 그리고 상태의 변화, 또한 최적의 해를 구할 수 있는 포상알고리즘에 대해 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서 연구한 시스템은 비젼시스템과 Strong Arm 보드를 이용하여 대상물체의 색상과 형태를 파악한 후 실시간으로 물체를 추적할 수 있게 구성하였으며, 또한 물체 이동의 비선형적인 경향성을 강화학습을 통하여 물체이동의 비선형성을 보다 유연하게 대처하여 보다 안정하고 빠르며 정확하게 물체를 추적하는 방법을 실험을 통하여 제안하였다.

Vision system is an object recognition system analyzing image information captured through camera. Vision system can be applied to various fields, and vehicle recognition is ole of them. There have been many proposals about algorithm of vehicle recognition. But have complex calculation processing. So they need long processing time and sometimes they make problems. In this research we suggested vehicle type recognition system using vision bpx based on embedded platform. As a result of testing this system achieves 100% rate of recognition at the optimal condition. But when condition is changed by lighting, noise and angle, rate of recognition is decreased as pattern score is lowered and recognition speed is slowed.
