Of the possible interactions between human and robot, touch is an important means of providing human beings with emotional relief. However, most previous studies have focused on interactions based on voice and images. In this paper. a method of recognizing human touching behaviors is proposed for developing a robot that can naturally interact with humans through touch. In this method, the recognition process is divided into pre-process and recognition Phases. In the Pre-Process Phase, recognizable characteristics are calculated from the data generated by the touch detector which was fabricated using force sensors. The force sensor used an FSR (force sensing register). The recognition phase classifies human touching behaviors using a multi-layer perceptron which is a neural network model. Experimental data was generated by six men employing three types of human touching behaviors including 'hitting', 'stroking' and 'tickling'. As the experimental result of a recognizer being generated for each user and being evaluated as cross-validation, the average recognition rate was 82.9% while the result of a single recognizer for all users showed a 74.5% average recognition rate.

비접촉방법데 의한 변위 측정기술은 공작물의 가공중(in-process)형상치수의 측정 또는 각종 계 측에 대한 자동화기술의 필요성이 증대됨에 따라 다양한 원리를 응용하여 발전되고 있다. 전통적인 방법으로는 가변 리럭턴스(variable reluctance)형, 와전류(eddy current)형, 콘덴서(capacitance)형 등의 전기적 센서들이 주를 이루고 있으나 최근에 들어서는 광전자기술의 발달에 힘입어 여러 광학 측정법들이 연구되어 실용화 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 측정자동화 용도로 사용될 수있는 광삼각법에 의한 비접촉방식의 광학센서에 대한 기본 연구 결과를 서술하였다. 광삼각 비접촉 측정의 기본 원리와 측정 범위 및 분해능 관점에서의 센서 설계의 기본 방법을 제시하며 또한, 실제적인 센서의 설계 및 제작을 위해 응용될 수 있는 기본광학소자의 현 기술적 수준과 성능을 기술하였다. 최종적으로는 실제적인 센서의 설계제작 과정과 시제품의 성능 실험을 통한 응용 가능성이 검토되었다.

본 논문에서는 비접촉식 적외선 온도센서와 nRF52832를 이용한 체온 관리 플랫폼을 제안한다. 코로나와 같이 전염성이 강한 경우에는 사람 간의 접촉이 최소한으로 이루어져야 하기 때문에, 코로나의 전염 여부 및 예방을 위해서는 접촉을 하지 않으면서 정확한 체온 측정과 제계적인 체온정보의 관리가 요구된다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 비접촉 적외선 온도센서를 기반으로 한 체온계와 측정한 체온 정보를 바로 확인할 수 있는 스마트폰 앱을 개발한다. 또한, 서버를 구축하여 측정한 체온 정보를 체계적으로 관리한다. 추가로, 스마트폰 앱은 고유의 QR 코드를 생성하여 신원 확인 및 보안에 대해 정확성과 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있다. 제안한 시스템을 통해 코로나와 같은 전염병이 확산되는 것을 막는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

This paper is studied, as basic research for measuring the accurate fuel amount of the CNG tank by using the transmit-receive ultrasonic sensor, the receiving sensitivity according to changed the pressure inside the tank and the contact surface of the ultrasonic sensor is analyzed. Measurement was carried out while changing the contact surface of the tank and the sensor to three shapes of Point, Line, and Surface and charging the pressure in the tank at an interval of 1 bar from 0 bar to 5 bar. Experiment results, as the pressure in the tank increased the tendency of the received signal value of the ultrasonic sensor to decrease was confirmed. As the contact area between the tank and the sensor increased, the value of the received signal increased, but the noise also increased. The results of experiment, it is judged that accuracy can be improved by changing the contact surface of the sensor.

사람은 User Interface(UI)를 통해 기기와 접촉하고 활용하며, 서비스를 제공받는다. 대부분의 입력 도구들은 사용자의 접촉을 필요로 하기 때문에 기기에 접촉이 불가능한 상황에서는 사용자의 의도를 기기에 전달하기 어렵다. 본고에서는 접촉 없이 사용자 입력을 가능하게 하는 기술 중 적외선 근접센서에 기반을 둔 제스처 센싱기술을 소개한다.

This paper deals with a problem occuring in recognition of tactile images due to the effects of imposed force at a me urement moment. Tactile image of a contact surface, used for recognition of the surface type, varies depending on the forces imposed so that a false recognition may result in. This paper fuzzifies two parameters of the contour of a tactile image with the membership function formed by considering the imposed force. Two fuzzifed paramenters are fused by the average Minkowski's dist; lnce. The proposed algorithm was implemented on the multisensor system cnmposed of an optical tact le sensor and a 6 axes forceltorque sensor. By the experiments, the proposed algorithm has shown average recognition ratio greater than 869% over all imposed force ranges and object models which is about 14% enhancement comparing to the case where only the contour information is used. The pro- ~oseda lgorithm can be used for end-effectors manipulating a deformable or fragile objects or for recognition of 3D objects by implementing on multi-fingered robot hand.

There is a growing demand for non-contact current measurements for efficient use of electrical power and energy saving. In this study, I propose a non-contact current sensor using LC resonance by a resonance circuit composed of a sensor coil and 2 coupling coils for enabling a wireless measurement. The inductance of the sensor coil, which could be changed by applied current, causes the change of resonance frequency of the resonance circuit. A pair of magnet was attached to the ferrite core to apply a bias magnetic field that enabled the determination of the current direction. We obtained an output voltage change of 18 V with the current of -3~3 A. But, the output was nonlinear. In order to realize the non-contact current measuring method proposed in the present study, there is a need for a strict investigation of linearity and resolution for the future study.

This paper proposes a thermal peripheral blood flowmeter integrated with a force sensor that is capable of contact force compensation. We fabricate this blood flowmeter using a nickel RTD (resistance temperature detector) and piezoresistive force sensor by using microfabrication technology. In an experiment, we obtained a decreasing trend for the blood flow under an increasing contact force with a linear tendency of 31.7%/N. We then performed a compensation process based on this obtained trend. As a result, the maximum variance in the blood flow at 1-3N was 9.8%. Thus we achieved consistent blood flow measurement independent of the contact force. In this work, we verified that the thermal blood flowmeter integrated with a force sensor has the ability to accurately measure the blood flow independent of the contact force.
