  • When the fiber Bragg gratings are embedded in a fiber-optic Sagnac loop for measuring temperature or strain, it is difficult to separate the Bragg wavelengths. The transmitted light is mixed with the reflected Bragg wavelengths in the photo-detector, working as noises. To suppress the noises, we placed the FBG sensors and a fiber-optic attenuator at asymmetric positions in the loop. With the arrangement the reflected light became much bigger than the transmitted light, enabling the separation of the reflected Bragg wavelengths with almost the same signal-to-noise ratio of the FBG sensors outside the loop.

  • In this paper, we introduce an intelligent quadruped walking robot that can perform stable walking and a couple of intelligent behaviors. The developed robot has two sets of ultrasonic sensors and six sets of infrared sensors and can perform obstacle avoidance by detecting obstacles and estimating the distances and directions of those obstacles. The robot also has a stereo camera and can paly soccer by detecting a ball and estimating the 3 dimensional coordinates of the ball. In performing those intelligent behaviors, the robot needs to have the capability of generating its walking patterns, solving the inverse kinematics problem, and interfacing several sensors in realtime. Therefore we designed a hierarchical controller that consists of a main controller and an auxiliary controller. The main controller is a 32-bit DSP that can perform fast floating-point opertaion and the auxiliary one is a 8-bit micro-controller. We showed that the developed quadruped walking robot successfully perform those intelligent behaviors through experiments.

  • This paper describes the steering control and geomagnetism cancellation for an autonomous mobile robotusing MR sensors. The magnetic-resistive (MR) sensor obtains the vector summation of the magnetic fields from embedded magnets and the Earth. The robot is controlled by the magnetic fields from embedded magnets. So, geomagnetism is the disturbance in the steering control system. In this paper, we propose a new method of the sensor arrangement in order to remove the geomagnetism and robotbody interference. The proposed method uses two MR sensors located in a level plane and the steering controller has been developed. The controller has three input variables (dBx, dBy, dBz) using the measured magnetic field difference, and an output variable (the steering angle) ...

  • Polyvinylidene di-fluoride (PVDF) film sensor appeared to be practically useful for the structural health monitoring of composite materials and structures. PVDF film sensors were either attached to or embedded in the graphite/epoxy composite (CFRP) samples to detect the fatigue damage at the bondline of single-lap joints or the tensile failure of unidirectional laminates. PVDF sensors were sensitive enough to detect and determine the crack front in linear location since composites usually produce very energetic acoustic emission (AE). PVDF sensors are extremely cost-effective, as flexible as other plastic films, in low profile as thin as a few tens of microns, and have relatively wide-band response, all of which characteristics are readily utilized for the structural health monitoring of composite structures. Signals due to fatigue damage showed a characteristics of mode II (shear) type failure whereas those from fiber breakage at DEN notches showed that of mode I (tensile) type fracture.

  • Since the introduction of CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) in the 1950s, display technologies have been developed continuously. Flat panel displays such as PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) were commercialized in the late 1990s, and OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diodes) and Micro-LED(Micro-Light Emitting Diodes) are now being developed and are becoming widespread. In the future, we expect to develop ultra-realistic, flexible, embedded sensor displays. Ultra-realistic display can be applied to AR/VR(Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality) devices and spatial light modulators for holography. The sensor-embedded display can be applied to robots; electronic skin; and security devices, including iris recognition sensors, fingerprint recognition sensors, and tactile sensors. AR/VR technology must be developed to meet technical requirements such as viewing angle, resolution, and refresh rate. Holography requires optical modulation technology that can significantly improve resolution, viewing angle, and modulation method to enable wide-view and high-quality hologram stereoscopic images. For electronic skin, stable mass production technology, large-area arrays, and system integration technologies should be developed.

  • As the sensors and communication technology get advance, the remote health diagnosis for patients and senior persons at home are possible now without visiting doctors in hospitals. A low-power ubiquitous health check device was developed adapting Real-Time Embedded Linux is developed. This ubiquitous device is consisted of three sensors. The wrist type health checking terminal acquires periodically the health data by using a blood pressure sensor, a pulse sensor and a body temperature sensor. It transmits the health data to the access point located at the home center through the ZigBee wireless communication modem. This health data collector or access point device sends the data again to the main server operated in a hospital or health care organization. The health server control continuously the input data and sends an alarm signal to the assigned. doctor and responsible persons using cellular SMS when any dangerous events occur. This wrist type health check device has an embedded linux OS using Intel PAX255 MPU. The developed U-Health system is applicable for checking patients health in remote at home. And their family or related persons in remote site can check the patients health status at any time. They can be assured by receiving SMS record and alarm of emergency case which is transmitted from the health server.

  • Automatic test case generation for testing an embedded software is considered. Existing tools for test case generation such as finite state machine or mutant test usually adopt top down approach and depend upon graphical transition and decision table, which makes it difficult to find out where the bugs exist. Also it is hard to describe the special features of embedded systems such as concurrent execution of individual components. Most of embedded systems interacts with the real world, receiving signals through sensors or switches and sending output signals to actuators that somehow manipulate the environment. Embedded software controls the entire system based on the logics such as interpreting the sensor inputs and making the actuators to start or stop their intended operation. This study proposes an automatic test case generation procedure that tests the system starting from the control logics of sensors, switches and actuators and then their concurrent execution controls, and finally the entire system operation. Such a stepwise approach makes it easy to generate test cases to tell where the bugs of embedded software exist.

  • Performance of smart phones has increased to conduct simple PC functions that has become essential to modern people. With the development of smart phones, not only limited inner sensors but various sensors can be connected through USB. However, there is problem that app needs to downloaded when using each sensor. In this paper, a smart phone unified app structure for USB sensor Plug&Play is presented. The structure was designed to download web pages to use various sensors in one app. Unified app communicated with the platform through ADK accessory protocol and implements structure of delivering sensor ID to the web server and downloading device driver, web page. By measurement test, it was confirmed that download time of web page in unified app was 10 times faster than original download time of original app. By managing various sensors by one app, the app is searched every time the sensor changes in which there is no need for downloading several apps.
