Based on the Jansen mechanism theory, a walking robot is developed, which is able to trace a line. In order to find the optimized legs, GL(Ground Length), GAC(Ground Angle Coefficient) and Grashof criteria are utilized in m.sketch program as well as EdisonDesign program. Many types of design are applied to sensors and controls, and the functionality is checked. Finally, a prototype line tracer robot is manufactured using aduino parts and smart boards. The prototype robot is test run to check the validity of the design, and modifications are applied to improve the performance according to each test result until the best design is achieved.

An experimentation on the on-line fault detection and diagnosis(FDD) system has been performed with HVAC system in he experimental building constructed inside the large scale environmental chamber. Personal computer with a home-made FDD program by pattern recognition method utilizing artificial neural network was connected on-line via Ether-net TCP/IP to the supervisory control server for HVAC system. The FDD program monitored the HVAC system by 1 minuted interval. The results showed that he FDD program detected the sudden or abrupt faults such s those in fans, sensors and heater, etc.

In this paper, a method for the precise impedance measurement of coaxial loads using an offset open and short as the reflection standards and reference air lines with different lengths as the impedance standards is proposed. Measured input impedances of power sensors and thermistor mounts obtained from SWR bridges(5~400MHz) and a vector network analyzer(100~1,000MHz) are presented in the frequency range of 5MHz to 1,000 MHz.

Recently many research activities on the diagnosis of stator winding insulation of large rotating machines have been reported. Capacitive couplers are widely used as sensors for on-line partial discharge (PD) measurement of high voltage rotating machines. This paper presents laboratory test to compare Stator Slot Coupler (SSC), Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD), 80 [pF] coupler and 500 [pF] coupler for on-line PD measurement of rotating machines.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for driving line-tracer robot, considered as a kind of AGV. At first, we introduce the architecture of the line-tracer robot implemented for the experiment, and explain the driving algorithm using path information from infrared sensors. The proposed algorithm can overcome the difference between each sensor's characteristics. Finally, we make some experiments and show the performance of the algorithm in case of straight path.

Most domestic fossil power plants have exceeded 100,000 hours of operation with the severe operating condition. Among the critical components of fossil power plant, high temperature steam pipe systems have had a many problems and damage from unstable displacement behavior because of frequent start up and shut down. In order to prevent the serious damage and failure of the critical pipe system in fossil power plants, 3-dimensional displacement measurement system was developed for the on-line monitoring. Displacement measurement system was developed with a use of a LVDT type sensor and two rotary encoder type sensors. This system was installed and operated on the real power plant successfully.

Open-type current sensors have been commonly used for DC motor controller, AC variable controller and Uninterruptible Power Supply. Recently they have begun to be used more widely, as the growth of renewable energy and smart-grid in power system. Considering most of the open-type current sensors are imported, developing the core technology needed to produce open-type current sensors is required. This paper describes the development and test results of open-type current sensors. Design of C type magnetic core, selection and test of a Hall sensor, design of current source circuit and signal conditioning circuit are described. 100A class DIP(Dual In-line Package) type and SMD(Surface Mount Devide) type open-type current sensors was made and tested. Test results show that the developed open-type current sensor satisfies the accuracy requirement of 2% and linearity requirement of 2% at 100 A of DC and AC current of 60Hz. Temperature compensation was carried out by using a temperature compensation circuit with NTC(Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor and the effect of the temperature compensation are described.

This paper proposed PID controller for torch slider and PD controller for motor right wheel. to control the motion of two-wheeled welding mobile robot with seam tracking sensor touched on welding line. The motion control is realized in the view of keeping constant welding velocity and precise seam tracking even though the target welding line is on straight line or curved line. The position and direction of the body of the mottle robot are controlled by using signal errors between seam tracking sensor and body positioning sensor attached on the end of torch slider and body side of the mobile robot, respectively. In turning motion, the body and the torch slider are controlled by using the kinematic model related with two motions of body turning and torch sliding. The straight locomotion is controlled according to eleven control patterns obtained from displacements between two sensors of the seam tracking sensor and the body positioning sensor. The effectiveness is proven through the experimental results fur lattice type welding line. Through the experimental results, we can see that the position value of the electrode end point and the welding velocity are controlled almost constantly both in straight and turning locomotion.

The positions, attitudes, and internal orientation parameters of three line scanners are critical factors in order to acquire the accurate location of objects on the ground. Based on the assumption that positions and attitudes of the sensors are derived either from direct geo-referencing which of using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), or from indirect geo-referencing which of using Ground Control Points (GCPs), this paper describes on biased effects of Internal Orientation Parameter (IOP) on the ground. The research concentrated on geometrical explanations of effects from different focal length biases on the ground. The Synthetic data was collected by reasonable flight trajectories and attitudes of three line scanners. The result of experiments demonstrated that the focal length bias in case of indirect geo-referencing does not have critical influences on the quality of reconstructed ground space. Also, the relationships between IO parameters and EO parameters were found by the correlation analysis. In fact, the focal length bias in case of the direct geo-referencing caused significant errors on coordinates of reconstructed objects. The RMSE values along the vertical direction and the amount of focal length bias turned out to be almost perfect linear relationship.

In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy controller for racing of a line trace vehicle. Sensor values are computed by statuses of line detecting sensors attached to the line trace vehicle and these sensor values are used for fuzzy inference rules of steering angle control to decide steering angle as output. The decided steering angle is also used for fuzzy inference rules of motor speed control to decide motor speed as output. We experimented and analyzed two proposed methods - one is fuzzy control of steering angle only and the other is fuzzy control of both steering angle and motor speed. In the experiment, we verified that the second proposed method was more efficient in racing speed.
