In this paper, path planning and tracking problems are mentioned to guarantee efficient and safe navigation of autonomous mobile robots. We focus on the path planning and also deal with the path tracking and obstacle avoidance. We improved the conventional distance transform (DT) algorithm for the path planning. Using the improved DT algorithm, we obtain paths with shorter distances compared to the conventional DT algorithm. In the stage of the Path tracking, we employ the fuzzy logic controller to conduct the path tracking behavior and obstacle avoidance behavior. Through computer simulation studies, we show the effectiveness of the Nosed navigational algorithm for autonomous mobile robots.

In this thesis, we examine the development status of autonomous mobility services using various artificial intelligence algorithms and propose a solution by combining edge and cloud computing to overcome technical difficulties. A fully autonomous vehicle with enhanced safety and ethics can be implemented using the proposed solution. In addition, for the future of 2035, we present a new concept that enables two- and three-dimensional movement via cooperation between ecofriendly, low-noise, and modular fully autonomous vehicles. The zero-error autonomous driving system will safely and conveniently transport people, goods, and services without time and space constraints and contribute to the autonomous mobility services that are free from movement in connection with various mobility.

Traditional automobile or 2-wheeled robot have limitations on mobility because of their mechanical structure. As traditional automobile is being replaced by electric cars, robot technology is applied to the car industry. In robotics, many researchers worked on omnidirectional mobile robot and produced lots of noticeable results. However in many of the results, specialized wheels such as Mecanum wheels are required. That imposes restrictions on robot speed and outdoor driving. We proposed a 2-wheeled modular robot that has omnidirectional mobility without using specialized wheels. In this paper, we propose a 4-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot that consists of those two modular robots. The proposed robot adopts electric brakes to combine wheel housings and the robot body or to separate wheel housings from the robot body. Two absolute-type encoders and four incremental encoders are used to control the position of the wheel housing and velocities of the wheels. The proposed robot has omnidirectional mobility and can move fast and outdoor with normal tire wheels. We implemented the proposed robot and the feasibility and stability of the robot is verified by two separate experiments.

기존의 무인 경로 로봇 시스템은 지형 제약과 높은 가격으로 인해 범용성에 한계를 갖는다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 철조망 위를 자율 주행하는 로봇 시스템(FPS, Fence Patrol System)을 소개하고, 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 측면에서 FPS 의 시스템 작동 원리를 설명한다. FPS 는 철조망 위에서 진동이 감지된 지역으로 이동해 객체를 탐지하고 추적하면서 관리자에게 전송한다. FPS 는 다양한 폭을 갖는 철조망 위에서 주행이 가능하고 완만한 곡률이 있는 철조망도 주행할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 이를 통해 지상 무인 경계 시스템의 한계를 해결하고 다양한 분야에 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

This paper describes a fuzzy steering controller for an outdoor autonomous mobile robot using MR(magneto-resistive) sensor. Using the magnetic field difference values(dBy, dBz) obtained from the MR sensor, we designed fuzzy logic controller for driving the robot on the road center and proposed a method to eliminate the Earth magnetic field. To develop an autonomous mobile robot simulation program, we have done modeling MR sensor, mobile robot and coordinate transformation. A computer simulation of the robot including mobile robot dynamics and steering was used to verify the driving performance of the mobile robot controller using the fuzzy logic. So, we confirmed the robustness of the proposed fuzzy controller by computer simulation.

AR contents, if markers to be tracked move fast, show flickering while updating images captured from cameras. Conventional methods employing image based markers and SLAM algorithms for tracking objects have the problem that they do not allow more than 2 objects to be tracked simultaneously and interacted with each other in the same camera scene. In this paper, an improved SLAM type algorithm for tracking dynamic objects is proposed and investigated to solve the problem described above. To this end, method using 2 virtual cameras for one physical camera is adopted, which makes the tracked 2 objects interacted with each other. This becomes possible because 2 objects are perceived separately by single physical camera. Mobile robots used as dynamic objects are synchronized with virtual robots in the well-designed contents, proving usefulness of applying the result of individual tracking for multiple moving objects to augmented visualization of objects.

본 논문은 가변형 휠을 이용한 이동방식과 로봇 내부에서의 얼굴 검출과 위치 추정에 관한 연구이다. 임베디드 시스템에서 딥러닝을 이용한 얼굴 검출을 구현하기 위해 SSD에 기반을 둔 객체 검출 알고리즘을 사용하였으며, 로봇이 이동하면서 PID 제어를 통해 주행을 제어하고 이를 기반으로 상대적 위치 추정을 수행한다. 본 로봇은 수색 작업뿐만 아니라 더 나아가 구조 및 정찰의 용도로 발전할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.
