Recently, according to improvement of robot technology, research for mobile robot is increasing. Mobile robot having 2-wheels or 4-wheels is easy for straight driving but is difficult for direction change and rotation. So, ball robot having one contact point with base is interested by researchers. By characteristics of the one contact, ball robot is required the balancing and driving control. In this paper, smart phone application, which is usable for control by wireless communication, is proposed. The ball robot having the proposed smart phone application is designed and manufactured. Balancing and driving control by wireless communication is conducted. From the test, it is conformed that ball robot has the control performances as roll angle error is ±0.8deg, pitch angle error is ±0.7deg, x-axis position error is ±0.1m, and y-axis position error is ±0.08m for 1m driving control.

This paper explores a real-time system implementation to couple tightly StrapDown Inertial Navigation System(SDINS) and Global Positioning System(GPS) mounted on the aircraft. When implementing the SDINS/GPS coupled system in real-time processor, we have to deliberate SDINS's unique characteristics based on the ring laser gyro, and besides, lever-arm, measurements, and error compensation method. The novel modeling method is applied to system the misalignment error term of gyro to estimate the cumulative heading attitude errors while the aircraft banking to turn repeatedly. Captive Flight Test results show that the proposed modeling strategy has good performance.

The FIMS (Far-ultraviolet IMaging Spectrograph), the main payload onboard the first Korean science satellite STSAT-1, has performed various observations since its launch on September 2003. It has been found that the attitude informations provided by spacecraft bus system have a time offset problem, and the problem has been extensively studied. After the time offset correction, boresight offsets between FIMS fields of view, of long and short wavelength bands, respectivley, and spacecraft attitude systems, which are mainly due to alignment error between the FIMS and spacecraft mechanical systems, were calculated through the observations of well known calibration targets. Monthly status and precision of the attitude information are also described. Correction methods for spatially variable exposure, intrinsic to FIMS data, are discussed. These results are essential to the FIMS data analysis, and will be used as references for subsequent studies on more accurate attitude corrections.

This paper concerns the spin-stabilization for the second stage of KSR-III(Korea Sounding Rocket-III). The error sources in the second stage are defined, and then the effect on attitude error of KSR-III is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on the analysis, some conditions for optimal spinning frequency and optimal steady-spinning duration are suggested. Among several solutions, an optimal value can be determined in the point of minimum impact-point error. An approach to a sub-optimal solution is also suggested. Application to the KSR-III shows that a proper spinning frequency and a steady-spin duration to give the smallest impact-point error can be effectively determined.

이 연구는 별 관측을 통해 점 퍼짐 함수(PSF)를 측정하고 나이퀴스트 주파수에서 변조 전달 함수(MTF)을 계산하여 주파수 영역에서 저궤도 광학 위성의 영상품질 평가방법을 도출하였다. 가상 별 영상을 생성하고 IRAF로 2차원의 점 퍼짐 함수를 얻었고 MATLAB으로 점 퍼짐 함수를 2차원 푸리에 변환하여 변조 전달함수를 계산하였다. 공간 영역에서는 점 퍼짐 함수의 모양을 통해서도 영상품질을 검증할 수 있다. Along/Across-Track의 모양이 일치하고 중심에서 좌우대칭이며 델타함수에 가까울수록 좋은 품질의 영상을 의미한다. Along/Across-Track의 점 퍼짐 함수 모양차이는 Line Rate나 Time Delay and Integration(TDI)의 오차에서 기인한다. 별을 점광원으로 본다면 점 퍼짐 함수를 정의하기 쉽고 Along/Across 방향을 동시에 측정 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 궤도상에서 별을 관측하는 것은 지상을 관측하는 것보다 대기 환경의 효과가 크지 않기 때문에 영상 품질 평가에 유리하다. Yaw Steering이나 Nadir Pointing과 같은 자세제어의 효과를 배제할 수 있으므로 자세제어의 효과가 상당 부분 제거된 영상품질을 분석할 수 있다. 지상관측시간이나 배터리 충전시간이 아닌 지구 본영에서 별을 관측하므로 임무에 방해받지 않는다. 지상관측과 같은 효과를 내고 TDI를 사용하는 환경을 구현하기위해 Line Rate를 고려한 자세 기동 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 큰 각도의 자세 기동이 예상되어 쿼터니안을 이용하여 Inertial Pointing하도록 자세 제어하였고, 자세 Slew Rate 구속조건 하에서 제어가 필요하다.

관성항법장치는 관성항법장치를 구성하는 관성센서인 가속도계 및 자이로의 오차요소에 의해 수평축 항법오차는 슐러주기를 가지고 서서히 증가하는 반면에 수직축 오차는 기하급수적으로 증가하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 관성항법장치를 장시간 운용하는 경우에는 비관성 보조센서를 이용하여 관성항법장치의 수직축 항법오차에 대한 보정을 반드시 수행하여야 한다. 관성항법장치의 수직축 항법오차를 보정하기 위한 비관성 보조센서의 일종인 기압고도계는 계측된 대기압과 모델링 된 대기압을 비교하여 항체의 고도를 측정하는 방법을 이용하기 때문에 항체의 자세변화 등에 매우 민감하고 대기압 측정오차에 의해 매우 큰 진폭의 잡음 및 바이어스가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 및 시험을 통하여 기압 고도계의 잡음 및 바이어스 오차 성분에 의한 baro-inertial 고도루프의 성능분석 결과를 제시하고 기압고도계 잡음에 둔감한 INS/기압고도계 칼만필터의 설계 결과를 제시한다.

In this study, we developed low cost INS and (D)GPS integration for continuous attitude and position and utilized it for the determination of exterior orientation parameters of image sensors which are equipped in 4S-Van. During initial alignment process, the heading information was extracted from twin GPS and fine alignment with Kalman filter was performed for the determination of roll and pitch. Simulation and van test were performed for the performance analysis. Based on simulation result, roll and pitch error is around 0.01-0.03 degrees and yaw error around 0.1 degrees. Based on van test, position error in linear road is around 10 cm and curve around 1 m. Using direct georeferencing method, the image sensor's orientation and position information can be acquired directly from (D)GPS/INS integration. 4S-Van achieved 3D spatial data using (D)GPS/INS and image data can be applied to the spatial data integration and application such as contemporary digital map update, road facility management and Video GIS DB.

An Electro-Optical Tracking System (EOTS) is an electric optical system with EO/IR cameras, laser sensors, and an IMU. The EOTS calculates coordinates of targets, using attitude and acceleration measured by the IMU. In particular for an armed aircraft, the performance of the weapon system depends on how quickly and accurately it acquires the target coordinates. The IMU should be operated after alignment is complete, to meet the coordinate accuracy required by the weapon system so the initial stabilization time of the IMU should be reduced, by quickly measuring the attitude and acceleration. Alignment is the process of determining the initial attitude by resolving the attitude error of the IMU, and the IMU of mission equipment such as an airborne EOTS, uses velocity matching based on the velocity from GPS/INS for aircraft navigation. In this paper, a method is presented to improve the transfer alignment performance of the airborne EOTS, by maneuvering aircraft and the mission equipment. First, the performance factor of the alignment was identified, as a heading error through the velocity matching model and simulation results. Then acceleration maneuvers and attitude changes were necessary, to correct the error. As a result of flight tests applied to an EOTS on a OOO aircraft system, the transfer alignment performance was improved as the duration time was decreased, by more than five times when the aircraft accelerated by more than 0.2g and the EOTS was moving until 6.7deg/s.

This paper addresses the performance comparisons of the GPS pseudorange and pseudorange rate measurements in the tightly coupled INS/GPS Navigation systems. Even though the two measurements have the same ability in estimating level attitude errors, pseudorange rate has an advantage in improving estimating heading attitude error performance. The performance of pseudorange and pseudorange rate measurements is compared in numerical simulations and van test.
