2006년부터 한국에서 개발중인 지능형 굴삭 시스템(IES)은 이동, 굴삭, 상차를 포함하는 굴삭 작업 일련의 과정을 전자동으로 실현하기 위한 프로젝트로서, 굴삭 로봇 주변 지형의 3차원 모델링과 상차트럭의 위치, 사람의 접근, 이동경로상의 장애물 등의 객체를 정확하게 탐지하는 기술은 굴삭 자동화 장비의 작업 품질과 안전성 확보 측면에서 필수적으로 요구되는 핵심 요소 기술이라 할 수 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 레이저 스캐닝 시스템을 이용하여 지능형 굴삭 로봇 주변의 지형과 객체를 3차원으로 탐지함으로써 자동화 굴삭 작업의 품질과 안전성을 확보하는 데 있다. 본 연구에서는 굴삭기 주변의 3차원 지형으로부터 객체의 위치, 높이, 너비, 형상 정보를 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 실제 토공현장을 대상으로 한 실험을 통하여 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하였다.

The logistics industry is converging with digital technology and growing into various logistics automation systems. However, inspection and loading/unloading, which are mainly performed in logistics work, depend on human resources, and the workforce is shrinking due to the decline in the productive population due to the low birth rate and aging. Although much research is being conducted on the development of automated logistics systems to solve these problems, there is a lack of research and development on load stacking stability, which has the potential to cause significant accidents. In this study, loading boxes with various sizes and positions of the center of gravity were set up, and a method for stacking that with high stability is presented. The size of the loading box is measured using a depth camera. The loading box's weight and center of gravity are measured and estimated by a developed device with four loadcells. The measurement error is measured through various repeated experiments and is corrected using the least squares method. The robot arm performs load stacking by determining the target position so that the centers of gravity of the loading boxes with unbalanced masses with a random sequence are transported in alignment. All processes were automated, and the results were verified by experimentally confirming load stacking stability.

Biopsy is a typical needle type intervention procedure performed under radiographic image equipment such as computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam CT. This minimal invasive procedure is a simple and effective way for identifying cancerous condition of a suspicious tissue but radiation exposure for the patients and interventional radiologists is a critical problem. In order to overcome such trouble and improve accuracy in targeting of the needle, there have been various attempts using robot technology. Those devices and systems, however, are not for full procedure automation in biopsy without consideration for tissue sampling task. A robotic end-effector of a master-slave tele-operated needle type intervention robot system has been proposed to perform entire biopsy procedure by the authors. However, motorized sampling adopted in the device has different cutting speed from that of biopsy guns used in the conventional way. This paper presents the design of a novel robotic mechanism and protocol for the automation of biopsy procedure using spring-triggered biopsy gun mechanism. An experimental prototype has been successfully fabricated and shown its feasibility of the automated biopsy sequence.

본 연구에서 자동화된 기립 및 복귀 시스템이 적용된 직립주행이 가능한 이동로봇용 구동 플랫폼이 개발되었다. 종래 대부분의 이동로봇은 정역학적으로 안정된 평면형의 4륜 혹은 3륜 구동형으로 구성되어 있는데, 이러한 형태의 이동로봇은 방향 전환을 위해서 독립구동형 혹은 조향형 차륜을 갖추고 있다. 이동로봇이 매우 협소한 지형에서 직각으로 굽은 통로를 주행할 때, 이동로봇은 전후진을 반복하는 등 복잡한 조향동작을 필요로 하거나, 극단적인 경우, 물리적인 조향이 불가능한 경우에 처하게 된다. 직립주행이 가능한 이동로봇은 점유면적이 작은 직립된 상태로 몸체의 형상을 변형시켜 해당 지형을 원활하게 통과할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 기립(복귀)동작, 확인동작, 평형제어 순으로 각 단계가 수동으로 조작되었던 기립제어 단계가 몸체의 기울기 각도 검출로 자동화되어, 단일 자동제어로 조작되는 차륜형 역진자 시스템이 제안되었다.

The letters and marks on the hull of vessels are marked by welding bead or steel plate to resist the corrosion environment. It has done by manual work. So, it cause deterioration of welding quality and process delay and so on. The automated welding device for draft mark has developed partially in the field of shipbuilding. But it can be used for draft mark only. And it has caused a few problems about that workablity and movablity are decreased owing to the size and weight of device. So we developed the automated welding device that can be used for most letters and marks on the hull. It designed to 3 axises mobile robot include to ratoation axis and stand alone type controller with multi GUI base on imbedded windows.

With the advancement of intelligent vehicles and unmanned systems, there is a growing interest in underwater surveys using autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs). This study presents an automated planning strategy for a long-term survey mission using a fleet of AMVs consisting of autonomous surface vehicles and autonomous underwater vehicles. Due to the complex nature of the mission, the actions of the vehicle must be of high-level abstraction, which means that the actions indicate not only motion of the vehicle but also symbols and semantics, such as those corresponding to deploy, charge, and survey. For automated planning, the planning domain definition language (PDDL) was employed to construct a mission planner for realizing a powerful and flexible planning system. Despite being able to handle abstract actions, such high-level planners have difficulty in efficiently optimizing numerical objectives such as obtaining the shortest route given multiple destinations. To alleviate this issue, a widely known technique in operations research was additionally employed, which limited the solution space so that the high-level planner could devise efficient plans. For a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed method, various PDDL-based planners with different parameter settings were implemented, and their performances were compared through simulation. The simulation result shows that the proposed method outperformed the baseline solutions by yielding plans that completed the missions more quickly, thereby demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed methodology.

Injection molding is a process widely used across various industries for molding plastics, and it is the most commonly applied process in root industries utilizing molds. Among the different types of injection molding, insert injection molding, where busbars are used as inserts, is increasingly being applied in the electric vehicle industry. However, currently, the insert injection molding process is manually performed, with workers placing insert components by hand before injection molding. This results in issues related to productivity, safety, and quality. Additionally, there is a growing demand for automation of such production lines due to hazardous working conditions, economic difficulties in the manufacturing industry, and the decline in the labor force caused by an aging population. This study focuses on the application of an automated system for the insert injection molding process used in electric vehicles. The development of an automated system for the transport and insertion of insert components, as well as the inspection and stacking processes after injection, has resulted in over a 25% improvement in productivity and more than a 27% reduction in defect rates.

The attachment of mobile vehicle is necessary for the automated operation on the inclined or vertical walls of steel structures. Since the vehicle requires attaching devices additionally, its overall efficiency can be reduced by the devices. Therefore, external shapes of mobile vehicles have to be researched to give the effective movement on the vertical face. For the design of mobile vehicle, the guideline has been derived from the modeling of wall-climbing, so that the vehicle should have a specific external shape for vertical movement due to the gravitational force. Hence, some adequate arrangement of attaching device to the mobile vehicle has been presented for the effective movement. In the experiments with four permanent magnetic wheels, a plausible result was achieved as a vertical attaching force of 185.2(N), a friction force of 153.8(N) and a curvature radius of 1.4m. The mobile vehicle should be modified according to the proposed design guideline. and then it could be applied to a specific operation as an appropriate external shape. Also, Further research is recommended on an optimal posture and a moving method in a specific application. as the attaching force ortho vehicle can be affected by its posture.
