This paper presents a new method of kinematic modeling for autonomous bicycle by using the differential motion transformation. Kinematic model is indispensable to trajectory planning and control for an autonomous mobile robot. The conventional methods of kinematic modeling for an autonomous bicycle depend on intuition by geometry. On the contrary, the proposed method in this paper is based on the systematic differential motion transformation, thus applicable to various types of autonomous bicycles. The differential motion transformation gives Jacobian between two coordinate frames and the velocity kinematics as a result.

This paper represents a development of a range finder sensor module for indoor 2-D mapping and modified Hough transformation for map building. A range finder sensor module has been developed by using optic PSD (Position Sensitive Detector) sensor array at a low price. While PSD sensor is cost effective and light weighting, it has switching noise and white noise. To remove these noises, we propose a heuristic filter. For line-based map building, also we proposed advanced Hough transformation and navigation algorithm. Some experiments were illustrated for the validity of the developed system.

GPS(global position system)은 특별한 표식이 없는 외부환경에서 위치 측정을 위한 가장 좋은 가능성을 보여주고 있다 그러나 현재 GPS의 오차에 의해서 위치 측정은 불가능하다. 또한 속도가 느린 이동로봇의 방향정보를 얻는 것도 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 지자기 센서를 이용하여 이동로봇의 방향정보를 이용하고 이동로봇의 인코더와 GPS를 이용하여 보다 정밀한 위치 측정이 가능하게 하였다. 이를 바탕으로 이동로봇의 지도를 작성하고 이동로봇의 안전한 경로를 신경망을 이용하여 학습하여 고장이나 충돌회피에 의해 이동로봇이 위험한 경로로 이동하는 것을 사전에 방지하였다. 또한 지도와 획득한 위치정보를 바탕으로 특정위치에서 임무를 수행함으로써 이동로봇이 외부환경에서의 방범활동이나 산업현장에 적용될 수 있음을 보이고자 한다.

This paper proposes a method that combines diverse evidence relevant to the reliability to evaluate the reliability of complicated systems such as robots. In practice, reliability experts combine diverse evidences relevant to the reliability and infer the answers by using their own way that are mostly informal. The proposed method also combines diverse evidence and performs inferences but informal and quantitative way by using the benefits of Bayesian Belief Nets (BBN). Diverse evidences could be those from dassical analysis techniques, test results, quality assurance about the process of manufacturing, and the quality of the company or development team, etc. Some of these evidences are qualitative and others are quantitative. Both are ...

Motion estimation using Full-Search(FS) and Block-Matching Algorithm(BMA) is often used in the case of moving object tracking by vision sensors. However these methods often miss the real-time vision data because these schemes suffer the heavy computational load. When the image size of moving object is changed in an image frame according to the distance between the camera of mobile robot and the moving object, the tracking performance of a moving object may decline with these methods because of the shortage of active handling. In this paper, the variable-representative block that can reduce a lot of data computations, is defined and optimized by changing the size of representative block accor...

This research focuses on developing a new and computationally efficient algorithm for free space structuring and planning collision free paths for an autonomous mobile robot working in an environment populated with polygonal obstacles. The algorithm constructs the available free space between obstacles in terms of free convex area. A collision free path can be efficiently generated based on a graph constructed using the midpoints of common free links between free convex area as passing points. These points correspond to nodes in a graph and the connection between them within each convex area as arcs in this graph. The complexity of the search for collision free path is greatly reduced by minimizing the size of the graph to be searched concerning the number of nodes and the number of arcs connecting them. The analysis of the proposed algorithm shows its efficiency in terms of computation ability, safety and optimality.

The goal of this paper is to provide a Graphic man-machine interface that can be used to control multiple robots simultaneously. The proposed GUI scheme gave emphasis on making multiple robots Perform the cooperative works, maintaining a given formation. It controls multiple robots in two different modes. : a group mode and a individual mode. In the group mode, a common goal position and formation are delivered to individual robots at the same time, and in the individual mode one robot is selected. o increase the efficiency of the interface, a time scheduler is provided. The experimental results are included.

Spent nuclear fuel is very dangerous substance emitting strong ionizing radiation which is harmful to human body. The remote handling of spent nuclear fuel is essential because people cannot access this substance without protecting radiation. To handle highly radioactive material or nuclear waste, many kinds of teleoperators such as master slave manipulator, electro mechanical manipulator, servo manipulator, mobile robot was developed. The distance and dimension of target object cannot be measured easily when highly radioactive material is handled by teleoperator because one should use lead glass or TV camera and monitor to protect radiation and see target object. During experiments on the remote handling of spent nuclear fuel by electro mechanical manipulator, we often felt that a distance and dimension measurement system is necessary to handle the objects which is in the highly radioactive environment, so we developed a system which is appropriate for this purpose.

본 논문은 고정 및 이동물체와의 효율적인 충돌회피 알고리즘으로 적응임피던스제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 일반적인 충돌회피 알고리즘은 이동로봇의 동적 특성을 고려하지 않고 최적의 경로생성에만 관심을 둠으로써 실제 이동로봇이 추종하기 어려운 경로를 생성하기 쉽다. 그러므로 이동로봇의 동적 특성을 고려한 충돌회피 알고리즘을 위해, 이동로봇과 장애물과의 상호작용관계를 가상의 힘으로 정의한 임피던스제어 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 하지만 이런 단순 임피던스제어 알고리즘만으로는 갑작스런 장애물의 출현 시 이동로봇의 속도가 증가하고 장애물이 사라지면 속도가 감소하는 비효율적인 속도제어라는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 충돌 가능성에 따른 새로운 속도제어 방식을 고려한 적응임피던스제어 알고리즘을 제안하고 검증하고자 한다.

When a system is teleoperated in the indoor environment through the wireless LAN, the communication time delay that is due to the inherent characteristic and surrounding environment is random and unbounded. The time delay has a significant effect on the stability and performance of the teleoperating system. In this paper, we present the method that is the image compression, measuring time delay and switching control-mode corresponding to time delay automatically, to improve stability and performance, and the simple experiment is conducted to demonstrate the feasibility
