With the development of a laser scanner of high precision and increased speed, reverse engineering becomes a key approach to reduce the time for the development of new products. But the modeling process is not so automated enough until now. Modeling in real workshops is usually performed by the experienced operators and it requires a skillful technique to get the resultant surface of high quality and precision. In this paper, a systematic solution is proposed to automate the free-form surface generation from the measured point data. Compatibility is imposed to the measured point data during input curve generation. And the compatibility of cross-sectional curve is also considered for the loft surface generation. The data in each step is produced in IGES file format to make an easy interface to other CAD/CAM software without any further data manipulation.

We propose a new miniature air-bearing stage with a moving-magnet slotless linear motor. This stage was developed to achieve the precise positioning required for submicron-level machining and miniaturization by introducing air bearings and a linear motor sufficient for mesoscale precision machine tools. The linear motor contained two permanent magnets and was designed to generate a preload force for the vertical air bearings and a thrust force for the stage movement. The characteristics of the air bearings, which used porous pads, were analyzed with numerical methods, and a magnetic circuit model was derived for the linear motor to calculate the required preload and thrust forces. A prototype of a single-axis miniature stage with dimensions of $120\;(W)\;{\times}\;120\;(L)\;{\times}\;50\;(H)\;mm$ was designed and fabricated, and its performance was examined, including its vertical stiffness, load capacity, thrust force, and positioning resolution.

Data mining is a process of discovering useful patterns for decision making from an amount of data. It has recently received much attention in a wide range of business and engineering fields Classifying a group into subgroups is one of the most important subjects in data mining Tree-based methods, known as decision trees, provide an efficient way to finding classification models. The primary concern in tree learning is to minimize a node impurity, which is evaluated using a target variable in the data set. However, there are situations where multiple target variables should be taken into account, for example, such as manufacturing process monitoring, marketing science, and clinical and health analysis. The purpose of this article is to present several methods for measuring the node impurity, which are applicable to data sets with multiple target variables. For illustrations, numerical examples are given with discussion.

Generally, the yield rate of semiconductors is the major factor that affects directly the price of semiconductors. For a high yield rate of semiconductors, the air inside clean room is needed to be purified and high efficient filters are used for this. The filter are made of super-fine fiber and certain pinholes can be easily produced on the filter's surface by inadvertent manufacturing. As these pinholes are not easily detected with the bare sight, these pinholes exert a negative impact to filtration performance of the filter. In this research, not only the automatic test equipment for detecting pinholes is proposed, but also inverse modeling scheme based on artificial neural network is applied for tuning of its important parameters.

Multi-Spinner 장비는 반도체 제조공정과정 중 Photo공정에서 노광(Exposure)공정을 제외한 PR 형성공정 및 현상(Development)을 수행하는 복합적인 장비이다. 이 복합적인 Multi-Spinner 장비의 각 수행 과정에서는 웨이퍼를 이동 작업하는데 있어서 이동경로를 최적 스케줄링 한다면 반도체 생산량 향상에 크게 도움이 된다. Multi-Spinner 장비내의 각 공정과정들은 PR 형성공정 및 현상 공정 순서에 맞게 순차적으로 진행되며, 이 과정들을 위해 이송 로봇이 순차적으로 웨이퍼를 이동하며, 이 과정에서 일정의 대기시간이 발생하게 된다. 대기시간을 줄이기 위해 C/S 유닛에 담겨 있는 수십 장의 웨이퍼들을 다음 공정으로 이송 시 이동경로의 최적 스케줄링이 필요하다. 본 논문은 스케줄링 문제를 풀기 위해 인공 신경회로망(Artificial Neural Network)을 이용한 최적 스케줄링 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper, Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) modeling using Polynomial Neural Networks (PNN) has been introduced. The deposition of SiO2 was characterized via a 25-1 fractional factorial experiment, was used to train PNNs using predicted squared error (PSE). The optimal neural network structure and learning parameters were determined by means of a second fractional factorial experiment. The optimized networks minimized both learning and prediction error. From these PNN process models, the effect of deposition conditions on film properties has been studied. The deposition experiments were carried out in a Plasma Therm 700 series PECVD system. The models obtained will ultimately be used for several other manufacturing applications, including recipe synthesis and process control.

As a way to build more efficient and intelligent container cranes for todays hub ports, communication networks are used to interconnect numerous sensors, actuators, controllers, and operator switches and consoles that are spatially distributed over a crane. Various signals such as sensor values and operator's commands are digitized and broadcast on the network instead of using separate wiring cables. This not only makes the design and manufacturing of a crane more efficient, but also easier implementation of intelligent control algorithms. This paper presents the performance evaluation of CAN(Controller Area Network), TTP(Time Triggered Protocol) and Byteflight that can be used for cranes. Through discrete event simulation, several important quantitative performance factors such as the probability of a transmission failure, average system delay (data latency) and maximum system delay have been evaluated.

로봇은 조립, 도장, 용접 등 단순 반복 작업이나 위험한 지역의 탐사 및 산업현장에서 벗어나 좀더 다양한 분야로 발전되어지고 있다. 최근 로봇의 형태는 인간의 명령을 이행하고 스스로 학습하며, 감정을 지닐 수 있는 인공지능을 내장한 로봇이다. 활용의 예 중에는 '가족 도우미'의 역할을 수행하는 로봇으로 가사, 방범, 오락, 교육 그리고 인공비서 등의 기능을 담당하는 형태로 향후 가정의 필수품으로 자리 잡을 전망이다. 이러한 가정용 로봇의 구현을 위해서 인공지능의 요소를 활용하는 것은 당연하다. 일차적으로 로봇이 여러 가지의 기능을 수행하기 위해서는 환경 정보를 받아들이는 센서의 역할이 크며 이런 센서를 사용조건에 맞게 활용하는 것도 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 로봇에 부착된 여러 개의 센서를 응합하고 융합된 여러 종류의 센서값을 이용하여 로봇이 주변환경에 맞게 행동을 할 수 있도록 소프트 컴퓨팅 기법을 이용하였다. 또한 로봇의 행동모듈을 구성하여 인간에게 시각$.$청각적인 효과를 줄 수 있도록 인간 친화형 지능 로봇을 구현하고자 한다.

In this study, a brain emotional learning-based intelligent controller (BELBIC) is developed for the speed control of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). A novel and simple model of the IPMSM drive structure is established with the intelligent control system, which controls motor speed accurately without the use of any conventional PI controllers and is independent of motor parameters. This study is conducted in both real time and simulation with a new control plant for a laboratory 3 ph, 3.8 Nm IPMSM digital signal processor (DSP)-based drive system. This DSP-based drive system is then compared with conventional BELBIC and an optimized conventional PI controller. Results show that the proposed method performs better than the other controllers and exhibits excellent control characteristics, such as fast response, simple implementation, and robustness with respect to disturbances and manufacturing imperfections.

Disruptions in manufacturing systems caused by system changes and disturbances such as the tool wear, machine breakdown, malfunction of transporter, and so on, reduce the productivity and the increase of downtime and manufacturing cost. In order to cope with these challenges, a new method to build an intelligent manufacturing system with biological principles, namely an ant colony inspired manufacturing system, is presented. In the developed system, the manufacturing system is considered as a swarm of cognitive agents where work-pieces, machines and transporters are controlled by the corresponding cognitive agent. The system reacts to disturbances autonomously based on the algorithm of each autonomous entity or the cooperation with them. To develop the ant colony inspired manufacturing system, the disturbances happened in the machining shop of a transmission case were analyzed to classify them and to find out the corresponding management methods. The system architecture with the autonomous characteristics was generated with the cognitive agent and the ant colony technology. A test bed was implemented to prove the functionality of the developed system.
