For walking patterns of biped robots, knee-bent patterns are used in most cases. However, humans are mostly walking with their knees nearly stretched. In this paper, a human-like walking algorithm using hybrid system is proposed for biped robots, The hybrid system consists of the logically constituted discrete system, in which the discrete states are defined by considering the walking characteristics, and the continuous state system used for motor control. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is effective by experimental studies.

A Many studies have been made on the prediction of human voluntary movement intention in real-time based on invasive or non-invasive methods to help severely motor-disabled persons by offering some abilities of motor controls and communications. In the present study, we have developed an internet game driven by and/or linked to a brain-computer interface (BCI) system. Activities of two single neuronal units recorded from either hippocampus or prefrontal cortex of SD rats were used in real time to control two-dimensional movements of a robot, or a game object.

In this study, a Self-learning Neural-Fuzzy Networks is presented, Because of the fuzzy controller property, the designing problems of fuzzy if-then rules, membership functions and inference methods are very complex task. Thus in this paper we proposed the Neural-Fuzzy Networks composed by Sugeno and Takagi's fuzzy inference method and learned by using temporal back propagation algorithm. The proposed method can refine automatically the fuzzy if-then rules without human expert's knowledges. The induction motor servo system is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme and the feasibility of the acquired fuzzy controller. All results are supported by simulation.

Electric Parking Brake(EPB) is the system operated by electric control actuator. It differs from the mechanical parking brake system which is operated by lever and pedal in need of human power. The EPB system is composed of DC motor, helical and differential epicyclic gear, screw, cables, and sensor. This paper describes about the EPB system mathematically and constructs a modeling of the EPB system using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Especially, SimMechanics library in SIMULINK is used to make each parts of system a module. By made modeling of the friction torque between bolt and nut. Cable tension can be maintained after the motor operating stops.

In this research a 2-dimensional motion generator composed of two linear motors was developed. The inertia, damping and/or stiffness characteristics of the motion generator can be changed on the real-time basis by properly regulating the force generated by the linear motors. That is, active impedance is implemented without actual change in the physical structure of the motion generator. Control of the motor force is carried out by controlling the input currents supplied to the linear motors based on the combination of the PI controller and feedforward controller. This motion generator can be used to measure a kinesthetic sense associated with the human arm and thus to develop the products for which the kinesthetic sense is taken into account.

The purpose of this study is based on the electromagnet robot with a four-wheel drive which can climb up and down on structures of iron wall instead of human workers. Many of studies strive to develop wall riding-robots in terms of absorption system. However, the system needs additional devices too much to work out as well as electromagnetic wheel system also has much expense to make it. In this regard, this study makes efforts to find the way how to keep steady distance between wheel and wall while using general electromagnet to reduce motor load and to move robot so easily.

This paper describes the construction of an autonomous mobile robot with functions of collision avoidance and speech recognition that is used for teaching path of the robot. The human voice as a teaching method provides more convenient user-interface to mobile robot. For safe navigation, the autonomous mobile robot needs abilities to recognize surrounding environment and avoid collision. We use u1trasonic sensors to obtain the distance from the mobile robot to the various obstacles. By navigation algorithm, the robot forecasts the possibility of collision with obstacles and modifies a path if it detects dangerous obstacles. For these functions, the robot system is composed of four separated control modules, which are a speech recognition module, a servo motor control module, an ultrasonic sensor module, and a main control module. These modules are integrated by CAN(controller area network) in order to provide real-time communication.

In this paper, we report the effects of visual stimulation patterns in the postural balance control. We used the motor-driven cloth panel and HMD(Head Mounted Display) to evaluate the effect of visual stimulation patterns in the postural balance control. We also investigated the usefulness of HMD in the postural balance rehabilitation training system from the view of reducing the scale of experimental system. Our results showed that a vertical-strip visual pattern was more effective than the others in the postural balance control. It was also indicated that HMD might be applied to clinical use as a new postural balance training system.

In the midst of accelerating wars around the world, unmanned robot technology that can guarantee the safety of human life is emerging. ERP-42 is a modular platform that can be used according to the application. In the field of defense, it can be used for transporting supplies, reconnaissance and surveillance, and medical evacuation in conflict areas. Due to the nature of the military environment, atypical environments are predominant, and in such environments, the platform's path followability is an important part of mission performance. This paper focuses on reducing the minimum turning radius in terms of improving path followability. The minimum turning radius of the existing 2WS/2WD in-wheel platform was reduced by increasing the torque of the independent driving in-wheel motor on the rear wheel to generate oversteer. To determine the degree of oversteer, two GPS were attached to the center of the front and rear wheelbases and measured. A closed-loop speed control method was used to maintain a constant rotational speed of each wheel despite changes in load or torque.

In this paper, the speed control problem of moving camera is investigated for tracking the movement of the human-face. The camera system with pan-tilt mechanism sends an image to PC and PC sends back tracking coordinate to the camera. Then the camera tracks a human face in real time. The speed of the stepping motors for moving the camera must be controlled to the target region fast enough and smoothly, In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller is proposed for driving step motors. By creating driving acceleration and deceleration speed Profile, the speed of the motors is controled fast and smoothly. Experiments are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
