This paper presents a method for a mobile robot to follow a moving object in real time. The robot follows a target object keeping the facing angle toward the target and the distance to the target to given value. The method consists of two procedures: first, the detection of target position in the robot coordinate system, and the second, the calculation of translational velocity and rotational velocity to follow the object:. To detect the target location, range sensor data is represented in histogram. Based on the real time calculation of the location of the target relative to the robot, translational velocity and rotational velocity to follow the target are calculated. The velocities make the heading angle and the distance to target converge toward the desired ones. The performance of the method is tested through simulation. In the simulation, the target moves with three different trajectories, straight line trajectory, rectangular trajectory, and circular trajectory. As shown in the results, it is inevitable to lose track temporarily of the target when the target suddenly changes its motion direction. Nevertheless, the robot speeds up to catch up and finally succeeds to follow the target as soon as possible even in this case. The proposed method can also be utilized to coordinate the motion of multiple robots to keep their formation as well as to follow a target.

In order to extract and analyze complex features of the behavior of animals in response to external stimuli such as toxic chemicals, we implemented an adaptive computational method to characterize changes in the behavior of chironomids in response to treatment with the insecticide, diazinon. In this paper, we propose an energy minimization model to extract the features of response behavior of chironomids under toxic treatment, which is applied on the image of velocity vectors. It is based on the improved active contour model and the variations of the energy functional, which are produced by the evolving active contour. The movement tracks of individual chironomid larvae were continuously measured in 0.25 second intervals during the survey period of 4 days before and after the treatment. Velocity on each sample track at 0.25 second intervals was collected in 15-20 minute periods and was subsequently checked to effectively reveal behavioral states of the specimens tested. Active contour was formed around each collection of velocities to gradually evolve to find the optimal boundaries of velocity collections through processes of energy minimization. The active contour which is improved by T. Chan and L. Vese is used in this paper. The energy minimization model effectively revealed characteristic patterns of behavior for the treatment versus no treatment, and identified changes in behavioral states .is the time progressed.

When calculating an intersection collision speed using a formula, it is very difficult to grasp the degree of deceleration of a vehicle after the collision unless there is road surface trace in the entire section where each vehicle moved from the point of collision to their final positions after the collision. A vehicle's motion trajectory shows an irregular curve after a collision due to the effects of inertia based on the driving characteristics of the vehicle, the eccentric force according to the collision site, and the collision speed. Therefore, it is very important to set the appropriate departure angle after a collision for accurate collision speed analysis. In this study, based on experimental collision data using a computer simulation (PC-Crash), the correlation between an appropriate vehicle departure angle and the post-collision speed was analyzed, and then, a regression analysis model was derived. Through this, we propose a method to calculate collision speed by applying only the vehicle departure angle in some types of collisions for traffic accidents at intersections.

In this paper, a position control scheme of the ink droplet is presented for the high image quality and print speed ink jet printer. The proposed scheme estimates the impact position and compensates it by control of the jet strobe time based on the dynamic equations describing the moving trajectory of the ejected ink droplet. Compared to the conventional jet strobe control which is based on the simple synchronization with the position signal of the ink jet nozzle, the proposed control scheme provides more accurate impact position control while the carrier is moving with accelerated or decelerated speed as well as steady state speed with fluctuations. The availability of printing during the acceleration and deceleration states of the carrier moving enables the print speed up and the frame size down which means the cost down.

축어긋남이 있는 회전체-볼베어링계에 대한 동적모델을 이용하여, 각축어긋남에 의한 2x 축진동현상을 조사하였다. 이때 유효베어링강성계수를 정의하여 축어긋남과 불균형량에 의해 발생되는 강성계수의 평균과 동기 변화성분을 운동방정식에 도입하였다. 수치해석과 실험결과는 각축어긋남에 의한 바나나 형태의 선회궤적이 회전체계 임계속도의 1/2이 도는 속도영역에서 뚜렷이 나타나는 것을 보여주었다.

보간기(Interpolator)는 NC 공작기계에서 공구의 궤적 및 이송속도를 제어하는 주요한 요소이다. 보간기는 보간계산 과 펄스의 발생을 전자회로로서 행하는 하드웨어 보간기와 컴퓨터 프로그램으로 수행하는 소프트웨어 보간기로 나눌 수 있는데 하드웨어 보간기는 고속보간이 가능하지만, 유연성이 부족한 단점이 있기 때문에 CNC 화 뒤로는 그 의존도가 점점 낮아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 더 광범위한 기준펄스 보간기의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 DDA, SPD(Smooth Pulse Distribution), SFG(Saita Function Generator) 방식의 직선, 원호, 타원보간 성능을 알고리즘의 처리속도, 경로오차의 측면에서 비교, 분석하였다.

압전 구동기는 여러 가지 적용에 있어서 높은 응답 속도와 큰 힘, 작은 크기 둥의 장점을 가지고 미세 구동에서 독보적인 위치를 차지하고 있다. 하지만, 히스테리시스, 크？ 등의 압전 소자 자체의 비선형성과 이의 구동을 위한 증폭기 등의 한계로 압전 소자의 동적인 특성은 비교적 열악한 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히, 구동 속도가 빨라질 수록 히스테리시스 곡선의 모양이 달라게 되어 구동 궤적의 정확한 예측이 어려우며, 증폭기의 최대 발생 전류가 충분치 않을 경우 압전 구동기가 지령치를 따르지 못하게 된다.(중략)

This paper analyzed flight trajectory characteristics of ballistic missiles considering effects of drag forces. It is difficult to intercept ballistic missiles which fly over atmosphere with supersonic speeds and small radar cross section (RCS). In particular, the velocities in the phases of boost and terminal are changed significantly due to the steep variation of the drag force. Therefore, in order to build up a successful ballistic missile defense systems, the effects of the drag forces should be considered in the analysis of ballistic missile trajectory characteristics. In this point of view, this work analyzed the effects of drag forces and derived the flight trajectory characteristics of Scud B, C and Nodong missiles. Model of the ballistic missile flight trajectory is considered the effects of Coriolis and centrifugal forces, and specifications of the missiles are open sources.

This paper presents air traffic control simulation model for generating 4D trajectory, and aircraft dynamic model based on 4D trajectory information. With aircraft parameters from BADA and Total Energy Model, the trajectory is defined through modified Bezier curve and the simulation supports two aircraft control methods based on controlled time of arrival (CTA) or airspeed. The simulation results shown that flight time and path were almost identical to the defined trajectory, and derived the differences of each control methods according to wind conditions. Based on the simulation model developed in this study, it is expected to be applied to various air traffic management researches. Future studies will focus on applying optimization techniques in order to minimize the difference between generated trajectories and actual flight routes. This work will increase utilization of developed simulation futhermore.

This paper proposes an algorithm using Lagrange interpolation method to realize trajectory planning for torque minimization of robot manipulators. For the algorithm, position constraints of robot manipulators should be given and the stability of robot manipulators should be satisfied. In order to avoid Runge's phenomenon, we set up time interpolation points using Chebyshev interpolation points. After that, we found suitable angle which corresponds to the points and then we got trajectories of joint's angle, velocity, acceleration using Lagrange interpolation method. We selected performance index for torque consumption optimization of robot manipulator. The method went through repetitive computation process to have minimum value of the performance index by calculated trajectory. Through the process, we could get optimized trajectory to minimize torque and performance index and guarantee safety of the motion for manipulator performance.
