The purpose of this study was to investigate young children's perceptions of a teacher assistant robot, IrobiQ. in a kindergarten classroom. The subjects of this study were 23 6-year-olds attending to G kindergarten located in E city, Korea, where the teacher assistant robot had been in operation since Oct. 2008. Each child responded to questions assessing the child's perceptions of IrobiQ's identity regarding four domains : it's biological, intellectual, emotional and social identity. Some questions asked the child to affirm or deny some characteristics pertaining to the robot and the other questions asked the reasons for the answer given. The results indicated that while majority of children considered an IrobiQ not as a biological entity, but as a machine, they thought it could have an emotion and be their playmate. The implications of these results are two folds : firstly, they force us to reconsider the traditional ontological categories regarding intelligent service robots to understand human-robot interaction and secondly, they open up an ecological perspective on the design of teacher assistant robots for use with young children in early childhood education settings.

A QRT(Quad-Rotor Type) hovering robot system is developed for quick detection and observation of the circumstances under calamity environment such as indoor fire spots. The UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is equipped with four propellers driven by each electric motor, an embedded controller using a DSP, INS(Inertial Navigation System) using 3-axis rate gyros, a CCD camera with wireless communication transmitter for observation, and an ultrasonic range sensor for height control. The developed hovering robot shows stable flying performances under the adoption of RIC(Robust Internal-loop Compensator) based disturbance compensation and the vision based localization method. The UAV can also avoid obstacles using eight IR and four ultrasonic range sensors. The VTOL(Vertical Take-Off and Landing) flying object flies into indoor fire spots and sends the images captured by the CCD camera to the operator. This kind of small-sized UAV can be widely used in various calamity observation fields without danger of human beings under harmful environment.

In this paper, We propose reasoning system for object recognition and space classification using not only visual features but also contextual information. It is necessary to perceive object and classify space in real environments for mobile robot. especially vision based. Several visual features such as texture, SIFT. color are used for object recognition. Because of sensor uncertainty and object occlusion. there are many difficulties in vision-based perception. To show the validities of our reasoning system. experimental results will be illustrated. where object and space are inferred by bi -directional rules even with partial and uncertain information. And the system is combined with top-down and bottom-up approach.

본 논문에서는 무선랜 환경에서 주행 로봇 플랫폼에 의한 원격 영상 감시 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 ARM9코어기반의 PXA255 프로세서 시스템에 소형 CMOS 카메라를 장착하고 촬영한 영상을 803.11b/g 무선 네트워크를 이용하여 전송하는 이동형 원격 영상 감시 시스템을 구성하였다. 로봇플랫폼의 주행 명령을 원격으로 전송하며, 촬영된 영상은 $640{\times}480$, $320{\times}240$픽셀 등의 정지 영상을 초당 $3{\sim}10$프레임의 속도로 전송하였으며, 시스템을 구현하고 영상에 의한 원격감시기능을 적절히 수행할 수 있음을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 제안된 시스템은 리눅스 운영체제를 기반으로 구축하였다.

Many types of robot systems are used in the mass production line of thin film solar cells and flat panel displays. There are some issues such as the deflection and the vibration of the end-effector because robots handle large and heavy substrates at high speed. Heavy payload and high speed cause much vibration because the end-effector (fork) is made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer because of its light weightiness and sufficient stiffness. This study performs a dynamic simulation of an 8.5G solar cell substrate handling robot, including rigid and flexible bodies and a vibration controller. The fifth polynomial trajectory and the zero vibration derivative input shaping algorithm are applied. The vibration reduction is also proved in the experiments.

본 연구에서는 프로그래밍 학습 과정에서 학습자가 겪는 인지적 어려움을 효과적으로 조력하기 위한 새로운 교육 방법으로 로봇 프로그래밍 학습의 가능성을 제시하고자 하였다. 로봇 프로그래밍 학습을 위한 교수 설계는 $Merri{\ddot{e}}nboer$의 4CID 모형을 기반으로 한 하향식 접근법을 사용하여 프로그래밍 과정을 통한 학습자의 복잡한 인지 능력 향상을 효과적으로 조력할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 설계된 학습 내용을 토대로 대학교 프로그래밍 관련 강좌에 적용한 결과, 레고 마인드스톰 NXT와 NXT-G 소프트웨어를 활용한 프로그래밍 학습은 학습자의 문제해결력 향상에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 본 연구를 통해 설계된 교수 전략을 기반으로 한 로봇 프로그래밍 학습이 문제해결력과 같은 인지적 영역에 있어서 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것을 의미한다.

Automatic tracking of a moving object such as a person is a demanding technique especially in surveillance. This paper describes an experimental system for tracking a moving object on the ground by using a visually controlled aerial robot. A blimp is used as the aerial robot in the proposed system because of its locality in motion and its silent nature. The developed blimp is equipped with a camera for taking downward images and four rotors for controlling the progression. Once a camera takes an image of a specified moving object on the ground, the blimp is controlled so that it follows the object by the employment of the visual information. Experimental results show satisfactory performance of the system. Advantages of the present system include that images from the air often enable us to avoid occlusion among objects on the ground and that blimp’s progression is much less restricted in the air than, e.g., a mobile robot running on the ground.

This paper addresses that through the use of Fuzzy Logic Control, a reactiv behavior (e.g. avoiding obstacles on the way) are smoothly blended into one sequence of control action. In this classical problem, the aim is to guide a mobile robot along its path to avoid any static obstacles in front of it. This controller presented here uses three sub-controllers. This fuzzy controller was apply to a miniature mobile robot. This robot follows a left wall, maintining a minimum distance.

Using 3D printing technology, we created a biomimetic water strider robot that can monitor environments. We found ways to increase the bearing capacity of the fluid-driven water strider robot by conducting experiments then comparing with more stable robots. The controller of the robot is based on Arduino, and can be controlled wirelessly with a Bluetooth module. The speed of the robot is 7.37 cm/s, and the bearing capacity is 29 g. A lithium polymer battery that can be charged with a solar cell was used as a power source, and both the charging and driving times were also explored.

In this study a three-axes mobile robot which has two independently controlled driving wheels and a function of simultaneously steering the driving wheels has been developed. Two-motion modes of the mobile robot, the first is a differential velocity motion of two driving wheels and the second is a equal driving and steering motion, have been analyzed and the kinematic and dymanic analyses about the each motion mode have been carried out. As a result of dynamic analysis, the torque used on a motor control and acceleration have been derived explicitly. Hence, a computation time is saved effectively and a real time control of the mobile robot considering the dynamics has become possible. Through a simulation the results considering the dynamics have been compared with that no regarding the dynamics and the possibility of real-time control has been proved.
