As a preparatory study for Global Positioning System-Very Long Baseline Interferometry (GPS-VLBI) hybrid system, we examined if VLBI type observation of the GPS signal is realizable through a test experiment. The test experiment was performed between Kashima and Koganei, Japan, with 110 km baseline. The GPS L1 and L2 signals were received by commercial GPS antennas, down-converted to video-band signals by specially developed GPS down converters, and then sampled by VLBI samplers. The sampled GPS data were recorded as ordinary VLBI data by VLBI recorders. The sampling frequency was 64 MHz and the observation time was 1 minute. The recorded data were correlated by a VLBI correlator. From correlation results, we simultaneously obtained correlation fringes from all 8 satellites above a cut-off elevation which was set to 15 degree. 87.5% of L1 fringes and 12.5% of L2 fringes acquired the Signal to Noise Ratios which are sufficient to achieve the group delay precision of 0.1nsec that is typical in current geodetic VLBI. This result shows that VLBI type observation of GPS satellites will be readily realized in future GPS-VLBI hybrid system.

기존의 와이파이 기반 측위 시스템에서 주로 사용되는 칼만필터와 파티클 필터는 실내공간의 구조적 특성을 반영하지 못해 정확도가 낮고, 계산 부하 또한 높기 때문에 휴대기기를 이용한 실내 측위에 적용하는데 한계를 지닌다. 이러한 한계를 극복하고자 본 논문은 와이파이 기반 측위 시스템을 위한 적응형 혼합필터를 제안한다. 제안된 필터는 칼만 필터의 일반적인 적용 체계를 활용하였으며, 적은 수의 파티클을 사용한 파티클 필터의 개념 또한 추가되었다. 제안된 필터는 일반 칼만 필터와는 달리 예측 가중치를 동적으로 변화시켜 동작하며, 위치 예측을 위한 파티클을 실내공간의 경로 네트워크상에 한정하는 특징을 지닌다. 검증결과 적응형 혼합 필터는 일반 칼만 필터에 비해 높은 정확도를 보이며, 일반 파티클 필터에 비해서도 정확도 및 계산시간의 측면에서 유의할만한 성능향상을 보였다.

위치결정기법으로 근래에 널리 활용되는 GPS(Global Navigation Satellite System)는 가시성이 확보되지 않은 상황에서는 측위가 어려운 단점을 내포하고 있다. 이와 같은 단점을 극복하고 위치 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 최근에 영상센서와 기존 항법시스템을 결합하는 복합측위에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPS 기반 차량 항법의 성능을 보완하기 위하여 GPS와 단일 Webcam을 결합하여 차량의 이동변위를 효과적으로 추정하는 복합측위 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 가시 위성이 부족한 구간에서도 2개 이상의 GPS 측정치가 가용할 경우 영상센서 정보를 결합하여 차량 위치해의 정확도를 유지한다. 실측 데이터를 바탕으로 GPS 위성을 2개로 줄인 구간에서도 오차가 바로 발산하지 않고 최대 누적 오차가 N축 방향으로 약 2.5m E축 방향으로 약 3m가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the pneumatic service robot with a hybrid type is developed. A pneumatic has the advantage of good compliance, high payload-to-weight and payload-to-volume ratios, high speed and force capabilities. Using pneumatic actuators which have low stiffness, the service robot can guarantee safety. By suggesting a new serial-parallel hybrid type for the service robot which separates into positioning motion and orienting motion, we can achieve large workspace and high strength-to-moving-weight ratio at the same time. A sliding mode controller can be designed for tracking the desired output using the Lyapunov stability theory and structural properties of pneumatic servo systems. Through many experiments of circular trajectory, the pneumatic service robot is evaluated and verified.

For improved localization around the indoor/outdoor transit area of buildings, this paper proposes an efficient algorithm combining the measurements from the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and the GPS (Global Positioning System) for. The proposed hybrid localization algorithm considers both multipath errors and NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight) errors, which occur in most wireless localization systems. To detect and isolate multipath errors occurring in GPS measurements, the propose algorithm utilizes conventional multipath test statistics. To convert WLAN signal strength measurements to range estimates in the presence of NLOS errors, a simple and effective calibration algorithm is designed to compute conversion parameters. By selecting and combining the reliable GPS and WLAN measurements, the proposed hybrid localization algorithm provides more accurate location estimates. An experiment result demonstrates the performance of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, suggested is a hybrid-type visual alignment system to align mask and panel in 3-D space, where mask and panel are to be controlled independently by two individual positioning mechanisms in order to compensate for spatial misalignments. In the hybrid visual alignment system, the below 4-PPR parallel mechanism provides in-plain motions to pattern mask like the other conventional alignment systems while the above 4-RPS parallel mechanism is to move glass panel to achieve a complete spatial alignment. For the control of the hybrid alignment system, first, inverse kinematic solutions for the parallel mechanisms are given to determine the driving distance of each active joint, and also an efficient way to determine the spatial alignment error is developed by exploiting three in-plane cameras.

This study provides foundational data for creating architectural guidelines for a Hybrid Operating Unit in a general hospital's surgical department, focusing on cardiovascular care. Methods: The study analyzed the spatial and configuration types of the Vascular Angiography Unit and the Cardiac Operating Unit, which are the basic components of the Hybrid Operating Unit, through a literature review. Based on the initial research findings, interviews with experts were conducted. Results: In the Hybrid Operating Process, the study proposed spatial configuration alternatives that consider the positioning of medical staff and the types and arrangement changes of equipment, including Angiography, Heart-lung machines, and other surgical tools and instruments. Implications: The integration of the two units leads to increased diversity and demand for medical staff, equipment, and supplies during surgical and interventional procedures. Therefore, strategic spatial configurations and equipment placement are necessary to effectively respond to these needs.

현재 목표기기(target node)의 위치를 측정하는 기술 중에 가장 정확도가 높다고 평가되는 방법은 ToA(Time of Arrival) 거리 측정(Ranging) 기술과 TDoA(Time Difference of Arrival) 거리 측정 기술을 이용한 위치 측정 방법이다. ToA와 TDoA는 시간을 기반으로 하는 거리 측정 기술이기 때문에 여러 개의 참조기기(Reference node)와 목표기기 사이의 시간 동기화와 오프셋이 중요시 된다. 참조기기와 목표기기 사이의 시간 동기화가 정확하게 이루어지지 않거나 참조기기 간 시간 오프셋이 발생할 경우 정확한 시점에서 신호를 검출할 수 없게 되어 거리오차가 발생하게 되고, 이러한 거리오차를 일반적인 위치 측정 알고리즘에 적용하게 되면 목표 기기의 정확한 위치를 측정할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 참조기기와 목표기기 사이에 시간 동기화가 맞지 않을 경우와 참조기기와 참조기기 사이의 시간 오프셋이 발생할 경우에 위치 측정의 오차를 줄이는 ToA와 TDoA의 Hybrid 방식을 제안한다. 각각의 펄스가 직교성을 갖는 특징을 지닌 MHP(Modified Hermite Polynomial) 펄스를 이용하여 참조기기들이 각기 다른 MHP 펄스를 송수신하도록 하고 이를 통해 한 번의 MHP 펄스 송수신만으로 TDoA와 ToA 두 가지 방법을 모두 이용하여 각각의 거리를 측정하고 위치 계산을 할 수 있도록 한다. Hybrid 방식은 TDoA와 ToA 방법을 이용한 거리 측정을 반복적인 계산을 통해 실제 거리 오차가 적은 방법을 선택하여 목표기기의 위치를 좀 더 정확하게 측정할 수 있음을 시뮬레이션을 통해 보였다.

This paper proposes to improve the performance of a strap down inertial navigation system using a foot-mounted low-cost inertial measurement unit/magnetometer by configuring an attitude and heading reference system. To track position accurately and for attitude estimations, considering different dynamic constraints, magnetic measurement and a zero velocity update technique is used. A conventional strap down method based on integrating angular rate to determine attitude will inevitably induce long-term drift, while magnetometers are subject to short-term orientation errors. To eliminate this accumulative error, and thus, use the navigation system for a long-duration mission, a hybrid configuration by integrating a miniature micro electromechanical system (MEMS)-based attitude and heading detector with the conventional navigation system is proposed in this paper. The attitude and heading detector is composed of three-axis MEMS accelerometers and three-axis MEMS magnetometers. With an absolute algorithm based on gravity and Earth's magnetic field, rather than an integral algorithm, the attitude detector can obtain an absolute attitude and heading estimation without drift errors, so it can be used to adjust the attitude and orientation of the strap down system. Finally, we verify (by both formula analysis and from test results) that the accumulative errors are effectively eliminated via this hybrid scheme.

Underwater operating platforms face difficulties regarding power supply and communications. To overcome these difficulties, this study proposes a hybrid surface and underwater vehicle (HSUV) and presents the development of the platform, control algorithms, and results of field tests. The HSUV is capable of supplying reliable power to the unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) and obtaining data in real time by using a tether cable between the UUV and the unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The HSUV uses global positioning system (GPS) and ultra-short base line sensors to determine the relative location of the UUV. Way point (WP) and dynamic positioning (DP) algorithms were developed to enable the HSUV to perform unmanned exploration. After reaching the target point using the WP algorithm, the DP algorithm enables USV to maintain position while withstanding environmental disturbances. To ensure the navigation performance at sea, performance tests of GPS, attitude/heading reference system, and side scan sonar were conducted. Based on these results, manual operation, WP, and DP tests were conducted at sea. WP and DP test results and side scan sonar images during the sea trials are presented.
