Security robot has gradually developed and deployed in order to protect civilian's lives as well as fortune and subjugate the shortcomings of CCTV which lacks of mobility. We have developed a security robot for outdoor environment and the main purpose of the driving mechanism is to overcome the bumps or projections with high speed. The robot platform consists of 4 omnidirectional wheel-based driving mechanisms and suspension for each driving mechanism. In this paper, principal suspension parameters of outdoor security robot for overcoming obstacles with stability are studied and approximately optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) since it is difficult to find the exact relationship between suspension parameters and the shock, which is significantly associated with stability of the robot, at the robot platform. Simulation using ADAMS is conducted for assessing the feasibility of optimized design parameters.

The cosmic ray experiment (CRE) on board the KITSAT-1 has been operating normally since the launch of the satellite. CRE is composed of two parts : the cosmic particle experiment (CPE) and the total dose experiment (TDE). Of these, we will discuss on the CPE results obtained the last several months. The data show much larger high energy Particle flux than the Previous UOSAT-3 data. The 550(single event upset) rate is also an order of magnitude higher than the UOSAT-3result. We will compare these results with the Bredictions of the CREME codel. ReferTncesAdams, J. H., Jr., 1987, NRL Memorandun Report 5901

In this research the Co-simulation technique for an electric power steering system with MATLAB/SIMULINK and a full vehicle model with ADAMS has been developed. The dynamic responses of vehicle chassis and steering system are evaluated. Then, a full vehicle model interacted with EPS control is concurrently simulated with an impulsive steering wheel torque input to analyze the stability of 'free control' or hands free motion for Sports Utility Vehicle. This integrated method allows engineers to reduce the prototype testing cost and to shorten the developing period.

In this paper, a entertainment biped robot controlled by R/C servo motors is built using the embedded RTOS (Real Time Operating System). uC/OS-II V2.00 is used for RTOS and control algorithm of R/C servo motors is proposed based on uC/OS-II's preemptive and deterministic property without any extra PWM module. The realized biped robot has 19 DOF, and a board 80C196KC as main CPU. To verify the proper walking process, ZMP(Zero Moment Point) theory is applied and ADAMS is used for simulation.

In this paper, the payload condition is considered and computer simulation is carried out to analyze the dynamic behavior of the middle-sized truck under the condition with different weight and location. The computer model for the truck is established and ADAMS/Car is employed to simulate the truck vehicle. A single lane change and bump-pass simulation are performed to evaluate the performance according to the weight and the position of it. Effects of the location and weight of commercial vehicle are analyzed. According to the simulation results, the front deck is preferred as the load location.

Laminar two-dimensional time-dependent flow past a circular cylinder is numerically investigated using direct numerical simulation for the low Reynolds number (Re=164∼280). The higher-order finite difference scheme is employed for the spatial distributions along with the second order Adams-Bashforth and the first order backward-Euler time integration. The convection term is applied by the 7th order up wind scheme and the pressure and viscosity terms are applied by the 4th order central difference. The grid system makes use of the regular grid system and it is generated by an equation. The calculated results of drag coefficients, lift coefficients, pressure distributions, and vorticity contours and other information are compared with experimental and numerical ones. These results obtained by the present DNS show good agreement with the previous studies.

In a vacuum circuit breaker mechanism, a spring-actuated linkage system is used to satisfy the desired opening and closing characteristics of electric contacts. If the type and structure of the linkage system required to the circuit breaker is predetermined, the stiffness, free length and attachment points of a spring become the important design parameters. In this paper, based on the energy conservation that the total system energy is constant throughout the operating range of the mechanism, a systematic procedure for optimizing the spring design parameters is developed and applied to the simplified mechanism of a circuit breaker. Then, in order to consider the complex dynamics of the circuit breaker mechanism rather well, the developed procedure is converted to the environment of a multi-body dynamics program ADAMS.

In recent years, as the robot technology is developed, the researches on the artificial muscle actuator that enable robot to move dexterously like biological organ become active. The widely used materials for artificial muscle are the shape memory alloy and the electro-active polymer. These actuators have the higher energy density than the electro-mechanical actuator such as motor. However, there are some drawbacks for actuator. SMA has the hysterical dynamic characteristics. In this paper, the simulation of anthropomophic robotic hand is performed using ADAMS and the segmented binary control for reducing the hysteresis of SMA is proposed. SMA is controlled by thermo-electric module. The relations between the force and the hysteresis are developed to verify the validity of the suggested method.

In this paper, a double scotch yoke mechanism for moving simultaneously the fixed contact and moving contact of a gas circuit brake, is proposed and designed to improve the breaking characteristics of the circuit breaker. Firstly, the design parameters of the scotch yoke are kinematically determined from the desired design condition of the circuit breaker. Next, the stroke curve of the moving contact is designed by considering the design parameter and the specified opening characteristics of electric contacts. Based on the scotch yoke and stroke curve, the dynamics of the electric contacts is analyzed using ADAMS model of switch mechanism.
