This paper presents the design of the power-assisted controller for the in-wheel type smart wheelchair by using torque estimation that is predicted by relationship between input voltage and output wheel angular velocity. Nowadays, interest of the moving assistant aids is increased according to the increase in population of the elderly and the handicapped person. However some of the moving assistant aids have problems. For example, manual wheelchair has difficulty moving at the slope, because users lack the muscular strength of their arm. In electric wheelchair case, users should be weak by being decreased muscles of upper body. To overcome these problems, power-assisted electric wheelchair are proposed. Most of the power-assisted electric wheelchair have the special rims that can measure the user's power. In here, the rims have to be designed to install the sensors to measure user's power. In this paper, we don't design the rim to measure the man power. To predict the man power, we propose a control algorithm of the in-wheeled electric wheelchair by using torque estimation from the wheel. First, we measure the wheel velocity and voltage at the in-wheel electric wheelchair. And then we extract driving will forces by using proposed mathematical model. Also they are applied at the controller as the control input, we verify to be able to control in-wheel type smart wheelchair by using simulation.

The intelligent disk can improve the overall performance of the I/O subsystem by processing the I/O operations in the disk side. At present time, however, realizing the intelligent disk seems to be impossible because of the limitation of the I/O subsystem and the lack of the backward compatibility with the traditional I/O interface scheme. In this paper, we proposed new model for the intelligent disk that dynamically optimizes the I/O subsystem using the information that is only related to the physical sector. In this way, the proposed model does not break the compatibility with the traditional I/O interface scheme. For these works, the boosting algorithm that upgrades a weak learner by repeating teaming is used. If the last learner classifies a recent I/O workload as the multimedia workload, the disk reads more sectors. Also, by embedding this functionality as a firmware or a embedded OS within the disk, the overall I/O subsystem can be operated more efficiently without the additional workload.

The success of controllability of smart structures depends on the quality of the bonding along the interface between the main structure and the attached sensing and acuating elements. Generally, the analysis procedures neglect the effect of the interfacial bond layer or assume that this bond layer behaves like viscoelastic material. Three different bond layers. two modified epoxy adhesives, and one isocyanate adhesive were prepared for their toughness and moduli. Bond layer of the chosen adhesive provides an almost perfect bonding condition between the composite structure and the PZT while bended significantly like arrow-shape. The perfect bonding condition is tested by considering various material properties of the bond layers. and based on this perfect bonding condition, the effects of the interfacial bond layer on the dynamic behavior and controllability of the test structure is experimentally studied. Once the perfect bonding condition is achieved. dynamic effects of the bond layer itself on the dynamic characteristics of the main structure is negligible. but the contribution of the attached PZT elements on the stiffness of the multi-layered structure becomes significant when the thickness of the bond layer increased.

This paper deals with implementation of network for distributed control system of a humanoid robot ISHURO(Inha Semyung Humanoid Robot). A humanoid robot needs much degree of freedom structurally and much data for having flexible movement. To realize such a humanoid robot, distributed control method is preferred to the centralized one since it gives a compactness, modularity and flexibility for the controllers. For organizing distributed control system of a humanoid robot, a control processor on a board is needed to individually control the joint motor and communication technology between the processors is required to transmit its information within control time. The processor is DSP-based processor and includes CAN network on a chip. It shares the computational load such as monitoring the sensor information and controlling the actuator between each of modules. In this paper, the communication architecture is suggested and its message protocol are discussed including message structure, time consumption for transmission, and controller structure at the view of distributed control for a humanoid robot. All of the sequence are simulated with Matlab and then verified with real walking experiment by ISHURO.

오늘날 도난방지, 화재, 범죄예방 등의 안전한 생활을 위한 감시 시스템의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 이에 영상보안 시장 규모가 급속히 증가하고 있으며 관련 기술도 인공지능을 겸비한 형태로 발전하고 있다. 우리나라도 영상보안 시스템의 수요가 2002년부터 기업과 정부를 중심으로 증가하고 있으며 급속한 성장을 거듭하는 추세는 2012년 이후에도 지속될 전망이다. 특히, 최근에는 적은 대수의 카메라로 보다 넓은 지역을 관찰하고 특정 부분을 확대 관찰할 수 있는 PTZ 카메라의 활용이 증가하고 있다. PTZ 카메라는 카메라에 구동 장치를 추가하여 좌우(Pan), 상하(Tilt)로 카메라의 시점을 이동시킬 수 있으며 특정 부분을 확대하여 관찰할 수 있는 줌(Zoom) 기능을 가진 카메라를 말한다. 이와 같은 장점으로 지능형 PTZ 카메라는 점차 대중화 되고 있다. 하지만, 현재 시중에 판매되는 많은 종류의 PTZ 카메라를 이용한 영상보안 감시는 실제로 사용자들이 동작하고 사용하는데 있어서 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 카메라 별로 제공하는 상이하고 왜곡된 좌표 값에서 새롭게 가공한 직관적 절대좌표 값을 추출하여 정확한 목표지점으로의 위치이동과 간편한 카메라 조작을 위한 시스템을 설계하였다.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of IEEE 802.11b WLAN communication between access point(AP) and mobile equipment(ME) in 2.4 GHz band with noise and interference factors. WLAN communication at in-vehicle environment is assumed as the communication between main vehicle controller and electronic device such as sensor, ECU (Electrical Control Unit) in vehicle on telematics field for implementing wireless vehicle control system. Received interference level from other system's mobile equipment in the same band and automobile noise from each part of vehicle can be the main factors that can cause increasing error rate of control signal. With these (actors, we focus on the Eb/No the BER performance of WLAN for analyzing the characteristic of interference factors by the measured bit error rate.

In this paper, we propose the algorithm that improves the linearity of the walking assistant robot on lateral slopes. The walking assistant robot goes out of the course due to the rotational moment which is caused by the weight of the robot and the slope. To compensate this, we give the weight to each driving axle after comparing the real rotational angular velocity with the target rotational angular velocity which is entered by an user. The results of applying the algorithm to the real walking assistant robot show that the yaw axis deviation of the robot without the algorithm diverges, but the yaw axis deviation of the robot with the algorithm lies within 20cm, which can be recognized as stable. In addition, the changing rate of the course deviation is stabilized and shows no more course deviation, after moving 300cm.

This paper presents speed control of an electric motorcycle using a fuzzy controller. The electric motorcycle required to meet not only fast throttle response but also stability, when it is on a cruise. However, a 1.5KW (50cc) electric motorcycles selling in the current market are difficult to cruise under the following conditions which are occupant's weight, load weight, wind resistance and road conditions (dirt roads, asphalt road). Because of these reasons, the rapid speed changing occurs in uphill and downhill road. To solve these problems, The input value for Improved fuzzy controller use the speed error and error variance. The output value for improved fuzzy controller uses Q-axis of the motor controlled variable. The D-axis of the motor output for improved fuzzy control uses D-axis controlled variable in proportional to Q-axis controlled variable. Improved fuzzy controller drives the electric motorcycle equipped with IPMSM. The control subject used in this paper is a 1.5KW electric motorcycle equipped with improved fuzzy controller that was used to control the motor speed. To control IPMSM Type of motor torque, D, Q-axis current controller was used. The Fuzzy controller using the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by experimental hardware simulator.
