This paper deals with TVC nozzle stroke verification test and corresponding analysis techniques related to kick motor TVC system of KSLV-I second stage. It is shown that the relationship between TVC stroke and potentiometer voltage is revealed via the open-loop stroke verification test, and other major operational parameters including nozzle alignment error, actuation error, neutral position, radius of nozzle rotation, location of nozzle rotation center, angle conversion coefficients, etc. are analyzed via the closed-loop stroke verification test. The TVC stroke verification test results for the first and second flight model of KSLV-I show that all TVC operational parameters of KSLV-I second stage were normally setup for the first and second flight tests.

In this paper hydroelastic experimental techniques of very large floating offshore structures are suggested based on the model test carried out in the UOU Ocean Engineering Wide Tank. The prototype is a box-shaped floating structure with length of 300m, breadth of 60m, depth of 2m and draft of 0.5m and longitudinal bending rigidity as $4.87{\times}10^{10}kgm^2$. The scale ratio is 1/42.857. The model is realized by aluminum square pipes with the section dimension of $20mm{\times}20mm$. The numbers of longitudinal and transverse pipes are 7 and 35 respectively. Heave motions at selected points are measured with potentiometers and bending moments with strain gages.

GPS(Global Positioning System)로 대표되는 위성항법시스템(GNSS: Global Navigation Satel lite System)은 우주공간의 위성을 이용하여 사용자에게 위치와 함께 시각 정보를 제공해 준다. 위성항법시스템은 항법 분야 뿐 아니라 측량, 측지를 비롯하여 정밀 시각동기 및 지각변동의 측정까지 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 항법분야에 있어서 위성항법시스템의 오차를 제거한 정밀한 위치 정보를 이용하여 이동체에 활용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 위성항법을 움직이는 이동체에 적용할 경우 주변 환경에 따라 위성항법 신호의 오차가 증가하여 급격한 위치 오차를 유발하므로 추가적인 센서 사용을 통하여 안전성을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 위성항법 기반의 위치정보와 이동체에 부착되어 있는 센서 정보를 병렬적으로 사용하는 주행시스템을 구성하고 주행 시험을 수행하였다. 이동체에 부착되어 있는 센서 정보를 이용한 주행시스템의 경우 이동 거리를 측정할 수 있는 엔코더와 조향각을 측정할 수 있는 포텐셔미터 그리고 차량 모델을 이용하여 구성하였다. 시험 결과 위성항법기반의 위치 정보와 이동체의 센서 정보를 이용한 위치 오차의 차이는 0.4m 이내로 위성항법 신호에 급격한 오차가 들어오는 경우 이동체의 센서 정보를 이용하여 감지할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, an arm motion sensing system using potentiometer is developed. Most motion sensing systems use optical method for the quality of motion data. The optical method needs much cost for manufacturing capture system and takes much time for correcting the captured data. And mechanical method entails relativity low cost, but it uses the wires and takes much time for correcting the data like the optical method. For solving the problems, in this paper, an arm motion sensing system is newly developed using low cost potentiometer and based on the suggested simple calculation method for the joint angles and the angular velocities. For the verification of the performance of the developed system, practical experiments were executed using real human arm motion and a robot arm. The experimental results showed that the motion of the robot arm controlled by the output of the developed motion sensing system is much similar with the motion of human arm.

In this paper, a muscle motion sensing system and an artificial arm control system are studied. The artificial arm is for the people who lost one's forearm. The muscle motion sensing system detect the intention of motion from the upper arm's muscle. In sensing system we use flex sensors which is electrical resistance type sensor. The sensor is attached on the biceps brachii muscle and coracobrachialis muscle of the upper arm. We propose an algorithm to classify the one's intention of motions from the sensor signal. Using this algorithm, we extract the 4 motions which are flexion and extension of the forearm, pronation and supination of the arm. To verify the validity of the proposed algorithms we made experiments with two d.o.f. artificial arm. To reduce the control errors of the artificial arm we also proposed a fuzzy PID control algorithm which based on the errors and error rate.

As research on the practical use of robots has continued since the past, advancements into each field of society are being continuously tried in modern society, breaking bounds from the previous experimental environment. However, in order for robots to be applied to the real environment, the production cost, which is considered to be the biggest disadvantage of commercializing the existing robot platform, and the adaptability issue in working environments in terms of human standards must be considered. This paper proposes a robot of biped walking form, which conforms to the degree of freedom and the size of human beings. By replacing the encoder with a combined module of potentiometer, the high cost of production is reduced, and by adopting a modular design that is easy to replace parts, the maintenance cost of robots is reduced. Finally, stability was verified by applying a walking pattern to two dummy robots of different sizes and motor arrangements. In this paper, after developing the real biped walking robots, the performance and usability were verified through walking experiments and applying the walking pattern using the developed robots.
