This paper proposes a surface recognition algorithm which determines the types of contact surfaces by fusing the information collected by the multisensor system, consisted of the optical tactile and force/torque sensors. Since the image shape measured by the optical tactile sensor system, which is used for determining the surface type, varies depending on the forces provided at the measuring moment, the force information measured by the f/t sensor takes an important role. In this paper, an image contour is represented by the long and short axes and they are fuzzified individually by the membership function formulated by observing the variation of the lengths of the long and short axes depending on the provided force. The fuzzified values of the long and short axes are fused using the average Minkowski's distance. Compared to the case where only the contour information is used, the proposed algorithm has shown about 14% of enhancement in the recognition ratio. Especially, when imposing the optimal force determined by the experiments, the recognition ratio has been measured over 91%.

In optical disk drive (ODD), disk rotation speed has been increasing rapidly to achieve high data transfer rate. High servo bandwidths for focusing and tracking actuator are required to follow dynamic disturbance by high rotation speed in ODD. However, the servo bandwidth is significantly limited by some vibration modes which are induced by the flexibility of moving part. In this work, the vibration modes affecting bandwidth of actuators are suppressed by modifying actuating force by VCM. For this, the relation between the horizontal component of the actuating force and vibration mode is analyzed and force characteristic affecting to vibration mode is obtained through electromagnetic and structural analysis using simulation program.

This paper presents a sensing system to measure the deflection of a microcantilever in an atomic force microscope. In general, the optical lever method and interferometry are used for the sensing system; however, their size and cost leaves considerable room for improvement. Therefore, we used an optical pickup head whose operating principle is based on the astigmatism of the commercial optical disk drives. The developed sensing system was applied to a laboratory atomic force microscope, and satisfactory results were obtained.

Soft robotics has attracted a huge amount of interest in the recent decade or so, be it either actuators or sensors. Recently, a soft optical waveguide sensor has proven its effectiveness for various sensing applications such as strain, force, and bending measurements. The operation principle of the waveguide is simple, but the present technology is far too much complex to manufacture the waveguide. The waveguide fails to attract various practical applications in comparison to other types of sensors despite its superior safety and ease working principle. This study pursues to develop the soft sensors based on the optical phenomena so that the waveguide can be easily manufactured and its design can be conducted. Several physical properties of the waveguide are confirmed through the repetitive experiments in the aspects of strain, force, and bending of the waveguide. Finally, the waveguide sensor is embedded inside the actuator to verify the effectiveness of the proposed waveguide as well as to extend the application fields of the waveguide sensor.

In this paper, the feasibility for producing a plastic optical fiber sensor to be used as an anti-drowsy driving sensor is discussed. This sensor consists of a plastic optical fiber wound on the steering wheel covered by soft material. When a driver hold a steering wheel, the gripping force is induced and causes to the bend of the plastic optical fiber which decreases the power of light propagated inside the plastic fiber. The experimental results show that the detected optical power decrease as the gripping force increase and that this sensor can be used as the anti-drowsy driving sensor.

정밀공학에서 측정은 필수적인 의미를 갖는다. 측정할 수 없는 제품 치수는 체계적인 가공이 불가능하며, 이는 설사 가공자의 특수한 기능에 의해 가공이 되더라도 체계적인 양산방식에 의한 생산이 될 수 없음을 의미한다. 이러한 중요성을 갖는 측정기술은 가공기술의 발랄과 더불어 꾸준한 진보를 이루어 왔다.(중략)

1970년 Ashkin이 레이저 광압을 이용하여 수 마이크로미터 크기(micrometer sized)의 유전체를 광속의 진행 방향으로 가속시킴과 동시에 광속축(beam axis)방향으로 입자를 끌어당기는데 성공함으로써 레이저를 이용한 미세구(micro-particle) 의 포획 및 조작에 대한 연구와 실험이 시작되었다$^{[1]}$ . 이후에 많은 사람들에 의해 연구가 활발히 이루어졌으며$^{[2]~[7]}$ , 이러한 레이저를 이용한 미세구의 포획방법은 광집게(optical tweezer)로써 생물학과 물리학 분야에서의 높은 가능성 때문에 지금도 연구가 계속되고 있다.
