It is important to measure the mechanical properties of nanostructures because they are required to determine the lifetime and reliability of nanodevices developed for various fields. In this study, tensile tests for a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and a ZnO nanorod were performed in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The force sensor was a cantilever type and was mounted in front of a nanomanipulator placed in the chamber. The nanomanipulator was controlled using a joystick and personal computer. The nanostructures dispersed on the cut area of a transmission electron microscope (TEM) grid were gripped with the force sensor by exposing an electron beam in the SEM; the tensile tests were the performed. The in situ tensile loads of the nanostructure were obtained. After the tensile test, the cross-sectional areas of the nanostructures were observed by TEM and SEM. Based on the TEM and SEM results, the elastic modulus of the MWCNT and ZnO nanorod were calculated to be 0.98 TPa and 55.85 GPa, respectively.

Humans have used acceleration sensors to perceive behavior. Using the application principles of inertia sensor such as acceleration and gyro sensors, the sensor indirectly measures movement through forces applied on a three-dimensional axis. This may result in different results depending on the location of the sensor in possession, even in the same way. The sensor, which is also mounted on popular smartphones, measured different values of acceleration sensors, whether in hand or in pocket, which are commonly used by people.

For factory automation using force/torque control, we need a networked-force management system as well as good force sensing and force generation. In this paper, we present a web-based force management system including 6-axis force/torque sensing system. Performance of the force-torque sensor is affected significantly by analog noise that is included in a sensor signal, and the noise should be reduced appropriately to obtain an adequate performance of the sensor. Moreover, the sensor itself should be convenient to install to a real application system. It should be compact in size and also easy to wire in real situation. In this viewpoint, we developed usb-based compact sensor system which is well communicated using web between two computers that exist far away. Software is programmed using LabVIEW and CCS-C. PIC microcontrollers are used for implementing a compact hardware. The proposed system is verified through experimental works.

This paper deals with method to measure the user's driving-will force and to control the power-assisted wheelchair. To solve this problem, we extract the user's driving-will by using the mathematical motor model. And then, we get the linear and angular velocity at the center of the vehicle. Wheel velocities are also measured from center velocity. Finally, power-assisted electric wheelchairs are controlled by these data. Here all processes are verified by simulation.

In heavy industries forces which are exceeding the range of available force standard machines have to be measured. Force measuring system using build-up procedure can be applied to measure large forces efficiently. In this study strain gage type force sensors are designed and fabricated, and the build-up force measuring system with 4.5 MN capacity using the developed force sensors is 0.03% or less over the range of 600 kN .approx. 1.5 MN and the force measuring system is less than 0.06% or less over the range of 500 kN .approx. 4.5 MN.

Recently, the interest on walking assistances in order to assist aged people has increased due to the increase of the aged. However, most walking aid systems have a weakness for a slope because they don't have power. So, they have a weak point which makes users difficult to move when they are weak in the legs. That is why the interest on walking assistances with power has increased. The use of the walking aid systems should be easy because most users are old people. Thus, we produce module to grasp walking intent of users by using various sensors such as potentiometer, FSR(Force Sensing Resistance) Sensor and Stretch Sensor and calculate the response time to the module. Firstly, the response time of handlebar which is a kind of potentiometer is 420ms and Resilience of it is 140ms. Secondly, the response time of handlebar which use FSR Sensor is 320ms and Resilience of it is 220ms. Finally, the response time of the Stretch Sensor is 160ms and Resilience of it is 140ms. The performance of Stretch Sensor is the best among the three kind of sensors.

The interaction force between biomolecules(DNA-DNA, antigen-antibody, ligand-receptor, protein-protein) defines not only biomolecular function, but also their mechanical properties and hence bio-sensor. Atomic force microscopy(AFM) is nowadays frequently applied to determine interaction forces between biological molecules and biomolecular force measurements, obtained for example using AFM can provide valuable molecular-level information on the interactions between biomolecules. A proper modification of an AFM tip and/or a substrate with biomolecules permits the direct measurement of intermolecular interactions, such as DNA-DNA, protein-protein, and ligand-receptor, etc. and a microcantilever-based sensor appeared as a promising approach for ultra sensitive detection of biomolecular interactions.

본 고에서는 고장에 대한 내성을 갖는 로봇 시스템에 관련된 전반적인 연구분야에 대한 소개를 하였으며 구조적인 측면에 중점을 두어 기술되었으나, 고장에 내성을 갖는 위치/속도 센서, 힘/토크 센서 그리고 로봇 제어에 관련된 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 등과 같은 로봇 구성 요소들의 개발에 관한 연구, 고장이 발생하였을 경우에 수행중인 작업을 지속적으로 그리고 성공적으로 수행할 수 있도록 하는 고장회복을 위한 제어기법 등에 관한 구체적인 방법 등에 대하여 매우 활발한 연구가 필요된다. 마지막으로, 이러한 고장에 대한 내성을 갖는 로봇 매니퓰레이터의 개발에 관한 중요성이 인식되어 국내에서도 높은 관심과 더불어 활발한 연구가 진행되었으면 한다.

본 고에서는 미세 가공기술의 실제적인 응용 예로써 일본 동북대학의 연구 내용을 간략히 소개하고자 한다. 동북대학은 미세 가공기술을 이용하여 미세 구조물의 제작 뿐 아니라 센서 및 주변회로의 집적에 의한 미세 시스템의 연구에 많은 힘을 기울이고 있으며 특히 모든 연구의 최대 목표가 철저하게 실제 응용이 가능한 시스템의 개발에 있으므로 이곳에서의 연구 내용을 전반적으로 살펴보는 것은 국내 연구에서의 방향설정 및 참고 자료로서 도움이 될 수 있으리라 판단된다. 동북대학에서의 미세 가공기술 관련 연구는 매우 방대하고 다소 산만한 느낌도 있으나 전체적으로 1. 가속도 센서를 중심으로 한 집적화 용량형 센서의 개발, 2. 고감도 센서의 개발, 3. 마이크로 액튜에이터의 제작, 4. 입체적 미세 가공기술의 개발 등으로 분류할 수 있다. 이중에서 비교적 연구 성과가 나타나고 있는 대표적인 몇가지 예에 대해서 개략적으로 살펴보도록 하겠다.

가속도 센서는 물체의 움직임, 속도의 변화, 충격, 진동 등의 동적힘을 순시적으로 감지하여 유용한 정보로 변환시키는 장치이다. 본 논문에서는 실리콘 기계 구조물과 광섬유형 Fabry - Perot 센서(FFPI)를 사용하여 광섬유 간섭계형 가속도 센서를 제작하였으며 실리콘 구조물의 구조를 변경하여 용도에 적합한 다양한 센서를 제작할 수 있음을 보였다. 광 간섭계는 그 구조에 따라 Fabry - Perot$^{[2]}$ , Mach-Zender$^{[3]}$ , Michelson$^{[4]}$ , Sagnac$^{[5]}$ 등으로 구분되면 이러한 간섭계 중에서 Fabry - Perot 간섭계는 측정영역이 두 반사막의 거리로 정확하게 정의되며 반사막의 거리를 조절하여 좁은 영역에서의 측정이 가능하고 고감도를 갖는다.
