독립된 자율로봇에서 머신비젼의 구동을 위해 본 논문에서는 DARS(Distributed Autonomous Robotic System)에 적용하기 위한 디지털 이미지 프로세싱을 연구하고, DARS의 개별 로봇에 이를 임베디드화하는 것을 연구한다. 따라서 로봇을 구동하기 위해 필요한 데이터를 CMOS 카메라로부터 수신하여 영상을 스캔한 후, 원영상을 신경망 알고리즘을 통해 클러스터링하여 필요한 데이터를 추출한다. 또 이를 사용자 컴퓨터 단말기 상에 디스플레이하고, 최종적으로 DARS의 자율 이동 로봇이 영상 데이터를 인지하여 특정한 선택 동작을 수행하도록 한다.

This paper proposes a Distributed Autonomous Robotic System (DARS) based on an Artificial Immune Network (AIN) and a Classifier System (CS). The behaviors of robots in the system are divided into global behaviors and local behaviors. The global behaviors are actions to search tasks in environment. These actions are composed of two types: aggregation and dispersion. AIN decides one between these two actions, which robot should select and act on in the global. The local behaviors are actions to execute searched tasks. The robots learn the cooperative actions in these behaviors by the CS in the local. The relation between global and local increases the performance of system. Also, the proposed system is more adaptive than the existing system at the viewpoint that the robots learn and adapt the changing of tasks.

This paper proposes a Distributed Autonomous Robotic System(DARS) based on an Artificial Immune System(AIS) and a Classifier System(CS). The behaviors of robots in the system are divided into global behaviors and local behaviors. The global behaviors are actions to search tasks in given environment. These actions are composed of two types: aggregation and dispersion. AIS decides one among these two actions, which robot should select and act on in the global. The local behaviors are actions to execute searched tasks. The robots learn the cooperative actions in these behaviors by the CS in the local one. The proposed system will be more adaptive than the existing system at the viewpoint that the robots learn and adapt the changing of tasks.

In this paper, we optimize distributed autonomous robotic system based on artificial immune system. Immune system has B-cell and T-cell that are two major types of lymphocytes. B-cells take part in humoral responses that secrete antibodies and T-cells take part in cellular responses that stimulate or suppress cells connected to the immune system. They have communicating network equation, which have many parameters. The distributed autonomous robotics system based on this artificial immune system is modeled on the B-cells and T-cells system. So performance of system is influenced by parameters of immune network equation. We can improve performance of Distributed autonomous robotics system based on artificial immune system.

본 논문에서는 인공 면역 시스템과 분류자 시스템에 기반하여 동작하는 자율분산로봇 시스템을 제안한다. 시스템에서 로봇들의 행동은 전역행동과 지역행동으로 분류된다. 전역행동은 환경에서 작업을 탐색하는데 이를 빠르게 수행하기 위하여 집합과 분산의 두 가지 행동으로 이루어져 있다 이때 인공 면역 시스템은 로봇이 어떤 행동을 선택하여 행동할 것인가를 결정한다. 지역행동은 탐색된 작업을 수행하는 부분으로서 어떤 로봇들이 협조행동을 할지를 학습하고, 학습한 결과에 따라 작업을 수행하는 행동을 한다. 이를 위해 분류자 시스템을 이용하여 각 로봇들은 주어진 작업에 대하여 학습을 한다. 제안된 시스템에서 학습 알고리즘은 주어지는 작업의 변화로봇들은 주어진 작업을 수행하기 위해 학습을 하고, 주어진 작업이 변할 경우 스스로 대처한다는 면에서 기존의 자율 분산 시스템보다 적응성에서 향상된 시스템이다.

In this paper, we present the strategy of object search for distributed autonomous robotic systems (DARS). The DARS are the systems that consist of multiple autonomous robotic agents to whom required functions are distributed. For instance, the agents should recognize their surrounding at where they are located and generate some rules to act upon by themselves. In this paper, we introduce the strategy for multiple DARS robots to search a hidden object at the unknown area. First, we present an area-based action making process to determine the direction change of the robots during their maneuvers. Second, we also present Q learning adaptation to enhance the area-based action making process. Third, we introduce the coordinate system to represent a robot's current location. In the end of this paper, we show experimental results using hexagon-based Q learning to find the hidden object.

In this paper, we propose a method of cooperative control (T-cell modeling) and selection of group behavior strategy (B-cell modeling) based on immune system in distributed autonomous robotic system (DARS). Immune system is living body's self-protection and self-maintenance system. These features can be applied to decision making of optimal swarm behavior in dynamically changing environment. For applying immune system to DARS, a robot is regarded as a B-cell, each environmental condition as an antigen, a behavior strategy as an antibody and control parameter as a T-cell respectively. The executing process of proposed method is as follows. When the environmental condition changes, a robot selects an appropriate behavior strategy. And its behavior strategy is stimulated and suppressed by other robot using communication. Finally much stimulated strategy is adopted as a swarm behavior strategy. This control school is based on clonal selection and idiotopic network hypothesis. And it is used for decision making of optimal swarm strategy. By T-cell modeling, adaptation ability of robot is enhanced in dynamic environments.

When the environmental condition (antigen) changes, a robot selects an appropriate behavior strategy (antibody). And its behavior strategy is stimulated and suppressed by other robots using communication (immune network). Finally, much stimulated strategy is adopted as a swarm behavior strategy. This control scheme is based on clonal selection and immune network hypothesis, and it is used for decision making of the optimal swarm strategy. Adaptation ability of the robot is enhanced by adding T-cell model as a control parameter in dynamic environments.

Distributed Autonomous Robotic System (DARS) is defined as a system that independent autonomous robots in the restricted environments infer their status from pre-assigned conditions and operate their jobs through the cooperation with each other. In the DARS, a robot contains sensor part to percept the situation around themselves, communication part to exchange information, and actuator part to do a work. Especially, in order to cooperate with other robots, communicating with other robots is one of the essential elements. Because Bluetooth has many advantages such as low power consumption, small size module package, and various standard protocols, Bluetooth is rated as one of the efficient communicating technologies which can apply to small-sized robot system. In this paper, we will develop Bluetooth communicating system for autonomous robots such as DARS robots. For this purpose, The Bluetooth communication system must have several features. The first, this system should be separated from other robot parts and operate spontaneously and independently. In other words, this communication system should have the ability to organize and maintain and reorganize a network scheme. The next, this system had better support any kinds of standard interfaces in order to guarantee flexible applicability to other embedded system. We will discuss how to construct and what kind of procedure to develop the network system.

In distributed autonomous robotic systems (DARS), each robot must behave by itself according to its states ad environments, and if necessary, must cooperate with other robots in order to carry out their given tasks. Its most significant merit is that they determine their behavior independently, and cooperate with other robots in order to perform the given tasks. Especially, in DARS, it is essential for each robot to have evolution ability in order to increase the performance of system. In this paper, a schema co-evolutionary algorithm is proposed for the evolution of collective autonomous mobile robots. Each robot exchanges the information, chromosome used in this algorithm, through communication with other robots. Each robot diffuses its chromosome to two or more robots, receives other robot's chromosome and creates new species. Therefore if one robot receives another robot's chromosome, the robot creates new chromosome. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by applying it to cooperative search problem.
