Rotary ultrasonic motors are based on the traveling wave generated by piezo materials attached on the stator. Large scale model of an annular ring was built to understand the fundamental mechanism involved in the rotary ultrasonic motors. Traveling wave on the structure can be generated by superposing two standing waves. Precise matching of the amplitudes and phase shift between two standing waves in time and space is the key to the success of generating a traveling wave.

Traveling wave on the structure can be generated by superposing two standing waves. Precise matching of the amplitudes and phase shift between two standing waves in time and space is the key to the success of generating a traveling wave. The principle of generating a traveling wave on the structure is utilized in the construction of linear and rotary type ultrasonic motors. This paper demonstrates experimentally generating a traveling wave on the simply supported beam.

현재 막대한 병렬성을 갖는 DNA 컴퓨팅을 이용하여 Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP)를 해결하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 방법은 그래프 문제의 표현에서 DNA의 특성을 고려하지 않아, 실제 생물학적 실험 결과와의 차이가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 DNA의 특성을 반영하고 생물학적 실험 오류를 줄일 수 있는 DNA 서열 생성 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 DNA 컴퓨팅에 진화 모델의 하나인 DNA 코딩 방법을 적용한 DNA 서열 생성 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 TSP에 적용하여 기존에 단순 유전자 알고리즘과 비교하였다. 그 결과 제안한 알고리즘은 오류를 최소화한 우수한 서열을 생성하고 생물학적 실험 오류율도 줄일 수 있었다.

Ultrasonic motors have many excellent performances. A variety of ultrasonic motors has been developed and used as an actuator in motion control systems. However, this motor has nonlinear characteristics. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the precise position control system incorporating with the ultrasonic motor. This paper describes a position control scheme for traveling-wave type ultrasonic motor using a pseudo-derivative control with feedforward gains (PDFF) controller designed by the coefficient diagram method (CDM). The PDFF control system satisfies both the tracking and regulation performances, which are the most important for the precise position control system. The CDM is shown to be an efficient and simple method to design the parameters of PDFF controller. The effectiveness of the proposed control system is demonstrated by experiments.

Precise traveling and tillage operation using an autonomous tractor is difficult with the data from the Geographic Information System(GIS) because it does not include the data of the width and inclination of the field to work. The minimum turing radius of the tractor could be different from the value presented by the tractor maker due to the moisture content of the field soil or operators' skill. Two programs were developed to process data obtained with the tillage path measuring system: one for recognizing coordinates of the 4 field corners, and the other for recognizing the minimum turning radius of the tractor.

컴퓨터 모니터를 통해 안구망막의 형태와 두께를 보기 위해서 레이저의 경로차를 이용하는 SLO 장비가 사용되고 있다. 이러한 방법으로 망막의 선명한 3차원 영상을 보기 위해서는 레이저 광경로 시스템의 정확한 동기제어가 필요하다. 이 영상을 얼기 위해서는 평면주사를 하는데 있어서 정밀동기제어가 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 안구의 3차원 영상을 만들기 위해 고속 동기제어를 구현한다. 또한 고속 제어시 부하 관성에 의해 발생하는 위치 응답의 오차를 보상하기 위해서 기존 PI(Proportional-Integral) 제어기에 데드비트 외란 관측기를 추가한다. 제안된 제어시스템은 고속 제어시 발생하는 토크 변화에 강인하고 정밀한 시스템이 된다. 이상의 제안된 시스템의 안정성과 유용함이 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 확인되었다.

Recently, with the development of service robots and with the new concept of ubiquitous world, the position estimation of mobile objects has been raised to an important problem. As pre-liminary research results, some of the localization schemes are introduced, which provide the absolute location of the moving objects subjected to large errors. To implement a precise and convenient localization system, a new absolute position estimation method for a mobile robot in indoor environment is proposed in this paper. Design and implementation of the localization system comes from the usage of active beacon systems (based upon RFID technology). The active beacon system is composed of an RFID receiver and an ultra-sonic transmitter: 1. The RFID receiver gets the synchronization signal from the mobile robot and 2. The ultra-sonic transmitter sends out the traveling signal to be used for measuring the distance. Position of a mobile robot in a three dimensional space can be calculated basically from the distance information from three beacons and the absolute position information of the beacons themselves. Since it is not easy to install the beacons at a specific position precisely, there exists a large localization error and the installation time takes long. To overcome these problems, and provide a precise and convenient localization system, a new auto calibration algorithm is developed in this paper. Also the extended Kalman filter has been adopted for improving the localization accuracy during the mobile robot navigation. The localization accuracy improvement through the proposed auto calibration algorithm and the extended Kalman filter has been demonstrated by the real experiments.

In the path traveling of differential-drive robots, the steering controller plays an important role in determining the path-following performance. When a robot with a pure-pursuit algorithm is used to continuously drive a right-angled driving path in an unstructured environment without turning in place, the robot cannot accurately follow the right-angled path and stops driving due to the ground and motor load caused by turning. In the case of pure-pursuit, only the current robot position and the steering angle to the current target path point are generated, and the steering component does not reflect the speed plan, which requires improvement for precise path following. In this study, we propose a driving algorithm for differentially driven robots that enables precise path following by planning the driving speed using the radius of curvature and fusing the planned speed with the steering angle of the existing pure-pursuit controller, similar to the Model Predict Control control that reflects speed planning. When speed planning is applied, the robot slows down before entering a right-angle path and returns to the input speed when leaving the right-angle path. The pure-pursuit controller then fuses the steering angle calculated at each path point with the accelerated and decelerated velocity to achieve more precise following of the orthogonal path.

For a traveling crane, various control methods such as neural network predictive control and TDOFPID(Two Degree of Freedom Proportional Integral Derivative) are studied. So in this paper, we proposed improved navigation method to reduce transfer time and sway with anti-collision path for avoiding collision in its movement to the finial coordinate. And we constructed the NNPPID(Neural Network Predictive PID) controller to control the precise move and speedy navigation. The proposed predictive control system is composed of the neural network predictor, TDOFPID controller, and neural network self-tuner. We analyzed ASC(Automated Stacking Crane) system and showed some computer simulations to prove excellence of the proposed controller than other conventional controllers.

To follow a sound source by a mobile robot, the relative position and orientation of the sound source from the mobile robot have been estimated using a microphone array. In this research, the difference among the traveling times of the sound source to each of three microphones has been used to calculate the distance and orientation of the sound source from the mobile robot which carries the microphone array. The cross-correlation between two signals has been applied for detecting the time difference between two signals, which provides reliable and precise value of the time difference comparing to the conventional methods. To generate the tracking direction to the sound source, fuzzy rules are applied and the results are used to control the mobile robot in a real-time. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated through the real experiments comparing to the conventional approaches.
