실내의 완벽 주행이 주요 목적인 청소로봇은 자기 위치를 인식 할 수 있어야한다. 자기 위치를 제대로 인식하지 못하게 된다면 청소할 방을 모두 돌지 못하고 방 청소를 마치게 된다. 청소로봇이 상용화 되기 위해서는 저렴한 가격의 보드를 선호한다. 이것은 현재 나온 복잡한 계산을 요구하는 알고리즘을 사용하지 못하거나 사용하여도 속도가 느린 문제를 가진다. 영상 프레임 처리 속도가 느릴 경우 처리되는 동안 로봇이 움직이지 못하여 부드러운 움직임을 불가능하게 한다. 본 논문은 저사양의 하드웨어에서 자기 인식을 할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 자기 인식을 하기 위해 처리 되어야 하는 전처리 과정과 전처리를 거친 데이터를 이용하여 자기 위치를 인식하도록 이동거리와 회전각을 계산하는 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 제안된 방법들을 이용하여 실제 이동 값과 비교, 분석한다.

This paper presents design and control of an 'Omni-directional Cleaning Robot (OdCR)' which employs omni-wheels at three edges of its triangular configuration. Those omni-wheels enable the OdCR to move in any directions so that lateral movement is possible. For OdCR to be localized, a StarGazer sensor is used to provide accurate position and heading angle based on landmarks on the ceiling. In addition to that, ultrasonic sensors are installed to detect obstacles around OdCR's way. Experimental studies are conducted to test the functionality of the system.

An autonomous and automatic home mess-cleanup robot is newly developed in this paper. Thus far, vacuum-cleaners have lightened the burden of household chores but the operational labor that vacuum-cleaners entail has been very severe. Recently, a cleaning robot was commercialized to solve but it also was not successful because it still had the problem of mess-cleanup, which pertained to the clean-up of large trash and the arrangement of newspapers, clothes, etc. Hence, we develop a new home mess-cleanup robot (McBot) to completely overcome this problem. The robot needs the capability for agile navigation and a novel manipulation system for mess-cleanup. The autonomous navigational system has to be controlled for the full scanning of the living room and for the precise tracking of the desired path. It must be also be able to recognize the absolute position and orientation of itself and to distinguish the messed object that is to be cleaned up from obstacles that should merely be avoided. The manipulator, which is not needed in a vacuum-cleaning robot, has the functions of distinguishing the large trash that is to be cleaned from the messed objects that are to be arranged. It needs to use its discretion with regard to the form of the messed objects and to properly carry these objects to the destination. In particular, in this paper, we describe our approach for achieving accurate localization using RFID for home mess-cleanup robots. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed McBot is confirmed through live tests of the mess-cleanup task.

One of the important ways to improve the performance of magnetometers in satellite exploration is to reduce magnetic noise from satellites. One of the methods to decrease magnetic noise is by extending the satellite boom. However, this approach is often not preferred due to its high cost and operational considerations. Therefore, in many cases, removing interference from the satellite platform in the measured dataset is widely utilized after data acquisition. In this study, we would like to introduce an algorithm for removing magnetic noise observed from magnetometers installed on two solar panels and one main body without a boom.

지능형 로봇은 자율적으로 이동할 수 있어야 한다는 것이 PC와 기본적으로 다른 점이다. 이동 로봇이 자율 주행할 때 꼭 필요한 기술이 위치 인식 기술과 장애물 감지 기술이다. 장애물 감지 기술은 이동 로봇이 다른 물체와 충돌하지 않도록 하기 위해 필요한 기술이지만 위치 인식 기술은 로봇이 현재 위치를 알고 목적지로 주행하기 위해 매우 중요한 기술이다. 지능형 로봇의 자율 주행 측면에서 위치 인식 기술은 필수적 핵심 기술이다. 위치 인식 센서는 로봇의 절대 위치 및 방향각 정보를 획득하여 실시간으로 관련 데이터를 지능형 로봇에 전달한다. 이로써 지능형 로봇의 이동 경로와 방향 제어가 가능해지고, 로봇을 보다 안정적으로 제어할 수 있다. 즉 로봇이 자기 위치를 인식한 후에야 안정적이고 지속적인 자율 주행이 가능해진다. (주)나인티시스템은 네트워크 기반 위치 파악용 indoor GPS 개념으로 로봇 위치 파악 센서 iGS를 개발하여 공급하고 있다. (주)나인티시스템이 개발한 iGS는 지능형 로봇의 거리, 위치, 방향을 파악하기 위해 초음파 송/수신부 및 RF 모듈로 Handware가 구성되어 있고 위치 추정 알고리즘, 장애물에 강건한 알고리즘 등이 Firmware를 구성하고 있다. 로봇 시장의 잠재적 성장 가능성을 고려할 때 로봇의 자율 운용에 필수적인 위치 파악 요소 기술을 선개발하여 상업화하는 것은 경제적으로도 큰 의미를 갖는다. 뿐만 아니라 위치 파악 요소 기술의 선도적 개발에 의해 미래 지능형 로봇시장을 주도할 수 있는 계기도 기대할 수 있다. Robot에 적정 가격대의 위치 인식 기술이 접목되면 Robot 산업의 활성화가 가능하다. 현재 청소용 Robot은 충돌 방지정도의 인식을 하고 있지만 위치 인식 기술이 접목되면 청소용 Robot이 더 많은 Service를 제공할 수 있다. 더 많은 Service의 실행으로 Robot 산업이 활성화되면 관련 요소기술 산업이 활성화된다. Robot 산업과 부품 산업이 활성화되면 Robot 관련 산업의 수익 Model이 다양해 진다. 위치 인식 기술은 Robot 산업뿐 아니라 산업 전반의 활성화에도 크게 기여할 것이다. 위치 인식 기술은 지능형 Robot의 자율 주행뿐 아니라 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능하다. 또한 위치 인식 기술을 국산화하면 기존 수입품을 대체할 뿐아니라 수출 시장의 진출에도 크게 기여할 수 있다.

This work shows how to design a robot structure and to control to overcome obstacles while traveling through ducts of various diameters and shapes by three-legged robot. Circuits are centered in the body to connect the three wheel bodies that are driven around the center body with the 4-section slider link structure. Also, the springs are used to contract and expand the robot legs so that it can be caparable of various environments. Geared motor, spring, and belt were selected based on the static and dynamic calculation to be suitable to horizontal and vertical travels. The center body is equipped with a camera and the distance sensors, and a control algorithms are implemented so that it can be successfully performed in L-type and T-type ducts. Using UWB modules and trilateration algorithm, the location of the duct-cleaning robot inside the duct could be identified successfully.

In this paper, a location identification for a cleaning robot using a camera shooting forward a room ceiling which kas three point landmarks is introduced. These three points are made from a laser source which is placed on an auto charger. A fisheye lens covering almost 150 degrees is utilized and the image is transformed to a camera image grabber. The widly shot image has an inevitable distortion even if wide range is coverd. This distortion is flatten using an image warping scheme. Several vision processing techniques such as an intersection extraction erosion, and curve fitting are employed. Next, three point marks are identified and their correspondence is investigated. Through this image processing and image distortion adjustment, a robot location in a wide geometrical coverage is identified.

The oviposition behavior of Ooencyrtus kuvanae (Howard) (Hymenoptera: Encyridae) was examined in a small petri dish containing eggs of gypsy moth, Lymantrt'a dt'spar L. The behavioral sequence from initial searching movement toward the host egg through oviposition, departure, and auxiliary phase activities such as resting, glooming, and host feeding were described. Oviposition experience shortened the approach time to subsequent eggs. The time spent for contacting the host egg also decreased with oviposition experience. Oviposition experience may play an important role in host recognition and increasing oviposition efficiency.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting infection control practice by dental hygienist students in Jeju during clinical training amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Online survey was conducted on 112 students and the results were statistically analyzed with frequency analysis, Student's T-test, one-way ANOVA, and regression analysis using SPSS 20.0. In the 'awareness and practice of infection control by year in college' section, 2nd year students scored significantly higher in 'cleaning and surface disinfection,' 'medical waste disposal,' and 'COVID-19 preventive measure' compared to 3rd year students. In the 'type of training institution' section, hospital setting scored significantly higher in 'cleaning and surface disinfection,' 'instrument disinfection and sterilization,' 'personal and patient protection,' and 'COVID-19 preventive measure' compared to dental clinic setting. In the 'location of institution' section, Seoul metropolitan region scored higher in 'medical waste disposal' compared to Jeju region. According to regression analysis, year in college (2nd year), type of training institution (hospital setting), location of training institution (Seoul metropolitan region), and difficulty using protective gear (no difficulty) were associated with better COVID-19 preventive measure This first study in Jeju provides an insight on the awareness and practice of infection control measures by dental hygienist students in Jeju during clinical training. Further investigation for improvement of clinical training manual is warranted.
