Recently, inertial sensors are popularly used for the location and position recognition of small devices for M2M/IoT. In this paper, we designed low power, low noise, small sized 6-axis inertial sensor IC for mobile applications, which uses a 3-axis piezo-electric gyroscope sensor and a 3-axis piezo-resistive accelerometer sensor. Proposed IC is composed of 3-axis gyroscope readout circuit, two gyroscope sensor driving circuits, 3-axis accelerometer readout circuit, 16bit sigma-delta ADC, digital filter and control circuit and memory. TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ mixed signal CMOS process was used. Proposed IC reduces 27% of the current consumption of LSM330.

본 논문에서는 항공기 비행 자세를 직관적으로 이해하고 동작의 원리를 시각화 할 수 있는 비행 자세 시뮬레이터를 구현하였다. 항적 정보의 변화에 따라 6축 모션 플랫폼을 동작시키고, 자이로 센서로 부터 전달 받은 비행 자세를 시뮬레이터에 전달하여 시스템을 구성한다. 항공기의 자세를 분석하기 위하여 자이로 센서와 가속도 센서를 같이 사용하는데 자이로 센서는 적분과정의 누적오차가 발생하고 가속도 센서는 짧은 순간의 진동에 따른 노이즈가 심하여 상보 필터를 이용한 보정작업을 하였다. 산출된 센서 정보를 이용하여 6축 모터에 전달할 각도를 계산하여 모션 플랫폼을 동작시키게 되며 시각화 결과는 OpenGL을 이용하여 구현하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후, 항공관련 학생들의 교육 기자재로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, we designed 1 chip IC for 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer used for various IoT/M2M mobile devices such as smartphone, wearable device and etc. We especially focused on analysis of gyroscope noise and proposed new architecture for removing various noise generated by gyroscope MEMS and IC. Gyroscope, accelerometer and geo-magnetic sensors are usually used to detect user motion or to estimate moving distance, direction and relative position. It is very important element to designing a low noise IC because very small amount of noise may be accumulated and affect the estimated position or direction. We made a mathematical model of a gyroscope sensor, analyzed the frequency characteristics of MEMS and circuit, designed a low noise, compact and low power 1 chip 6-axis inertial sensor IC including 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer. As a result, designed IC has 0.01dps/${\sqrt{Hz}}$ of gyroscope sensor noise density.

In this paper, the algorithm was developed to recognize hand 3D position through 2D image sensor and implemented a system to remotely control the 6 d.o.f. robot arm by using it. The system consists of a camera that acquires hand position in 2D, a computer that controls robot arm that performs movement by hand position recognition. The image sensor recognizes the specific color of the glove putting on operator's hand and outputs the recognized range and position by including the color area of the glove as a shape of rectangle. We recognize the velocity vector of end effector and control the robot arm by the output data of the position and size of the detected rectangle. Through the several experiments using developed 6 axis robot, it was confirmed that the 6 d.o.f. robot arm remote control was successfully performed.

Although an accelerometer is a sensor that measures acceleration, it cannot be used by itself to measure the acceleration when the orientation of the sensor changes. This paper introduces a Kalman filter for the estimation of a sensor acceleration based on a six-axis inertial sensor (i.e., a three-axis accelerometer and three-axis gyroscope). The novelty of the proposed Kalman filter lies in the fact that its state vector includes not only the tilt angle variable but also the sensor acceleration. Thus, the filter can explicitly estimate the latter with a high accuracy. The accuracy of acceleration estimates were validated experimentally under three different dynamic conditions, using an optical motion capture system. It could be concluded that the performance of the proposed Kalman filter was comparable to that of the state-of-the-art estimation algorithm employed by the Xsens MTw. The proposed algorithm may be more suitable than inertial/magnetic sensor-based algorithms for various applications adopting six-axis inertial sensors.

This paper describes the design process of a six-component force/torque (F/T) sensor. The new six-component F/T sensor having leaf spring ends has been developed using a cross beam structure as the basic sensing element. Fundamental strain analysis of both ends fixed beam having a leaf spring structure is performed by finite element analysis. In order to obtain similar output sensing strains from the six component loads and minimize coupling strains, the optimal location of strain gages is determined and the strain gages are connected so that the bridge circuits with four strain gages would be balanced. Using leaf spring ends instead of rigid fixed ends, remarkable increment in output sensing strain can be achieved for two component forces. Several modifications in design result in a similar sensing strain of approximately $400\;{\mu}m/m$ for the six-component forces and moments, and a reduced coupling strain of $0\;{\mu}m/m$ between the forces and moments.

In this paper, we proposed the new bridge combination detection method for three dimensional piezoresistive silicon accelerometer, and the accelerometer with SOI structures was fabricated by bulk micromachining technology for using higher temperature than $200^{\circ}C$. The sensitivities of fabricated accelerometer for X, Y and Z-axis acceleration were about 8mV/V G, 8mV/V G and 40mV/V G. The nonlinearity of the output voltage was 1.6%FS and cross-axis sensitivity was within 4.6%. We confirmed that the three bridges detection method is very simple and the output characteristics of this accelerometer were similar to arithmetic circuit method accelerometer. The temperature characteristics of SOI structure accelerometer showed high operating temperature and good stability. And the temperature coefficient of offset voltage and sensitivity were $1033ppm^{\circ}C^{-1}$ and $1145ppm^{\circ}C$ respectively.
