This paper introduces several mobile robots developed by using LEGO MIDSTORM for experimental studies of robotics engineering education. The first mobile robot is the line tracer robot that tracks a line, which is a prototype of wheel-driven mobile robots. Ultra violet sensors are used to detect and follow the line. The second robot system is a two-wheel balancing robot that is somewhat nonlinear and complex. For the robot to balance, a gyro sensor is used to detect a balancing angle and PD control is used. The last robot system is a combined system of a line tracer and a two-wheel balancing robot. Sensor filtering and control algorithms are tested through experimental studies.

In sensor network processing environments, current location tracking methods have problems in accuracy on receiving the transmitted data and pinpointing the exact locations depending on the applied methods, and also have limitations on decision making and monitoring the situations because of the lack of considering context-awareness. In order to overcome such limitations, we proposed a method which utilized context-awareness in a data processing module which tracks a location of the magnetic object(Magnetic Line Tracer) and controlled introspection data based on magnetic sensor. Also, in order to prove its effectiveness we have built a wireless sensor network test-bed and conducted various location tracking experiments of line tracer using the data and resulted in processing of context-aware data. Using the new data, we have analyzed the effectiveness of the proposed method for locating the information database entries and for controlling the route of line tracer depending on context-awareness.

In this paper, to instruct elementary programming concepts based on flowchart programming for elementary school students, we proposed sensor-based elementary robot programming PBL problems using line-tracer robots. Proposed PBL problems are designed to have various correct-answer algorithms. For this purpose, we present PBL-based robot programming instruction steps. Through applying the proposed sensor-based PBL problems using line-tracer robots, experimental results are analyzed in views of the problem-solving ability and suitability of allocating degrees of difficulties to the proposed elementary robot programming problems.

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.

The study of sensor network database is beginning to liven up as we are interested in Ubiquitous Computing technology in hardware, communication, database and so on. Especially, as new smart sensors have capabilities of real-time information gathering and analysis of each sensor node, data processing becomes an important issue in Ubiquitous Computing. In thesis, we have applied TinyDB(query processing system) to carry sensor node with line tracer which can follow the fixed path. After we gathered data around path, we have processed data in TinyDB GUI, gathered data, displayed data on a web server. Also we have a web browser on an embedded board for convenient user interface and implemented touch screen such that users can operate with a finger.

This study aimed to develop a self-directed modular teaching-learning model curriculum for the safe operation of mobile X-ray equipment with designed an educational system using ultrasonic sensors and line tracer sensors. We conducted with radiological science students and clinical radiological technologists. they improved performance in reducing errors during mobile X-ray equipment operation and increased learning satisfaction after repeated practice. The average error rate of driving its decreased through repeated training, and learning satisfaction was rated as excellent. The modular teaching-learning model with sensor-based evaluation system contributed to enhancing practical skills in operating mobile X-ray equipment. Our results demonstrated the effectiveness of self-directed learning for mobile X-ray equipment operation and serves as foundational material for developing future educational programs.

With the development of modern technology, the use of unmanned automation equipment that can replace humans in logistics and industrial sites is increasing. The technology of one such automation facility, the Unmanned Carrier (AGV), includes Line Tracing, which allows you to recognize a line through infrared sensors and drive a predetermined route. In this paper, the shortest time algorithm using Arduino is configured in the line tracing technology to enable efficient driving. It is also designed to collect location and time information using RFID tags.

In this paper, we design and implement an Application based on android platform, which can control arduino Prime Smart Car using Bluetooth communication. This Application consist of Bluetooth communication module, manual mode module, and line-tracer mode module. In the Bluetooth communication module, it checks the on/off status of Smartphone Bluetooth. If Bluetooth status is off, it activates Bluetooth, selects the corresponding device from Bluetooth device list, and connects with a pair. In order to reduce coding time, we implements Bluetooth communication using inherited class from android Bluetooth package. In the manual mode module, it implements six direction moving button and stop button, which can control arduino Prime Smart Car. In the line-tracer mode module, it implements Prime Smart Car with self-driving function using TCRT5000 sensor. And moving button and stop button is disabled.

물건을 나르는 데 있어 지게차 등 사람을 도울 수 있는 많은 장비들이 존재한다. 하지만 이러한 대형 장비들은 장소에 국한됨으로 좁은 장소에서는 인력이 필히 요구된다. 또, 장비를 다루기 위한 자격증의 필요를 동반한다. 본 논문은 불필요한 인력을 줄여 종사자들의 편의성을 높이고, 물건을 옮기는 데 있어 발생할 수 있는 인명피해를 감소시키기 위해 자격증 없이 좁은 장소에서도 종사자들의 관리하에 라인을 따라가며 원하는 도착 지점에 물건을 실어 나르는 라인트레이서를 제안한다. 기존의 대형 장비를 이용하고 상황에 따라 인력도 요구되었던 방식이 아닌 종사자와 라인트레이서의 입력을 통해 원하는 지점으로 물건을 나를 수 있고, 종사자의 편의성을 높여 능률 또한 함께 높일 수 있다.

Electric cart, one of the many devices created to aid golfers, combines software and wireless technology with over 200 different parts and computers. It is designed to be controlled remotely and can be started or stopped using a remote control while on the golf course. However, one recurring issue is the frequent derailment of the electric cart during operation. This problem not only hampers game performance but also causes delays as drivers lose focus. The objective of this study is to enhance the driving system of autonomous electric carts, which are controlled by the driver's signals, in order to address the issue of derailments. These autonomous carts follow a line tracer on the course. By examining the evolution of golf carts and the safety enhancements implemented in current models, we propose to supplement the autonomous driving system to increase safety and improve the performance of these electric carts.
