By development of a robot technology, personal robot is being developed very actively. Various infra-technologies are accumulated in hardware and software how by internal a lot of research and development efforts, and it is circumstance that actual commodity is announced. But, personal robot is applied to be acting near human, and takes charge of safety and connected directly a lot of works of home security, gas-leakage, fire-warning facilities, or/and etc. So personal robot must do safe and stable action even if any unexpected accidents are happened, important functions are always operated. In this paper, we are wished to show design structures for supporting fault-tolerant operation from our real-time robot middleware viewpoint. Personal robot, in being developed, was designed by module structure to do to interconnect and to interoperate among each module that is mutually implemented by each research facilities or company. Also, each modules can use appreciate network system that is fit for handling and communicating its data. To guarantee this, we have being developed a real-time network middleware, for especially personal robot. Recent our working is to add and to adjust some functions like connection management, distributed routing mechanism, remote object management, and making platform independent robot application execution environment with self-moving of robot application, for fault-tolerant personal robot.

A robot system in most industries has a complicated structure, which includes electric and electronic components, and mechanical parts. For this reason, building a robot system also has a very complicated design and maintenance processes. Especially to predict or assess the system's maintainability and safety is important for both designer and operator before it's production or installation of the system. This paper presents an application methodology of FMECA focused on safety in design of a robot system with point of view of reliability engineering.

This paper proposes a method of a touch-based remote control and sensor information acquisition of a mobile robot using a smart phone. An application in a smart phone processes the acquired sensor information and conducts autonomous navigation. By touching the screen of the smart phone, a series of points obtained from designated curve traces are analyzed and provide control of a robot. This study develops a mobile application that acquires and handles data from a mobile robot and sends appropriate action commands through remote control using Bluetooth communication with a smart phone. The utility and performance of the proposed control scheme have been successfully verified through experimental tasks using an actual smart phone and a mobile robot.

This paper considers the application of mobile robot to the herding problem. The herding problem involves a ‘pursuer’ trying to herd a moving ‘evader’ to a predefined location. In this paper, two mobile robots act as pursuer and evader in the fenced area, where the pursuer robot uses a fuzzy cooperative decision strategy (FCDS) in the herding algorithm. To herd evader robot to a predefined position, the pursuer robot calculates strategic herding point and then navigates to that point using FCDS. FCDS consists of a two-level hierarchy: low level motion descriptors and a high level coordinator. In order to optimize the FCDS, we use the multi­thread evolutionary programming algorithm. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the real mobile robot system and its performance is demonstrated using experimental results.

Robot refers to machines that recognize the external environment and assess the given situations in order to operate autonomously by imitating the manner in which humans behave. Although Korea still lacks global competitiveness, Korea, as the $4^{th}$ ranked robot manufacturing country in the world, is currently expanding the domains of robots from application in manufacturing to application in service provision. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the factors for the success in entry into the cooperation robot market among various robotic markets in accordance with the literary research method in consideration for the importance of robot industry that could determine the future national competitiveness. The result of the analysis of the factors for the success in entry into the cooperation robot market, shows that factors including analysis of the trends in manufacturing robot market, strategy for benchmarking of the leading cooperation robot companies, activation of small and medium enterprise-centered cooperation robotic industry, excavation of demands for cooperation robots with focus on automobile, semiconductor and IT industries, utilization of the opportunities provided by government's robotic industry policies and standardization of cooperation robot components, etc. determine whether one will succeed in the market or not. Furthermore, it is believed that fortification of competitiveness of the manufacturing sector through the powerful policy support for the robotic industry at government level and policies on cultivation of new growth engine through specialization of the robotic areas closely related to daily life must be implemented concurrently because it is forecasted that competitiveness in robotics technology will become the criterion for national competitiveness in the future.

The application of robot to industry is increasing and as a result the study on robot is widely being carried out. In this study, to improve the accuracy of robot motion the method which calibrates initially assumed link parameters is considered. This method calibrates 4N link parameters for N D.O.F. robot with rigid links.

This paper treats the estimation of human impedance and their application to collaboration work robot. Initially, we performa an experiment at whcich teh human becomes a slave and the robot behaves like a master having F/T sensor on its end. the human impedance expressed interms of mass, damping, and stiffness properties are estimated based on the force data measured by F/T sensor and the positiion data of the robot. To show the effectiveness of the estimated human impedance, we perform the second experiment at which the roles of the human and the robot are reversed. It is shown that the robot using the estimated human impedance follows the trajectory commanded by human very smoothly.

This paper presents the position-based force control application of a mobile manipulator. The mobile manipulator consists of two six DOF manipulators and a mobile robot. Kinematics of the robot is analyzed and simulated to validate the analysis. A position-based force control technique is applied to the robot by adding an outer loop to interact with the environment. Experimental studies of force control applications of robot arm and interaction with a human operator are conducted. Experimental results show that the robot arm is well regulated to follow the desired force.

Because robot hardware architecture generally is consisted of a few sensors and motors connected to the central processing unit, this type of structure is led to time consuming and unreliable system. For analysis, one of the fundamental difficulties in real-time system is how to be bounded the time behavior of the system. When a distributed control network controls the robot, with a central computing hub that sets the goals for the robot, processes the sensor information and provides coordination targets for the joints. If the distributed system supposed to be connected to a control network, the joints have their own control processors that act in groups to maintain global stability, while also operating individually to provide local motor control. We try to analyze the architecture of network-based humanoid robot's leg part and deal with its application using the CAN(Controller Area Network) protocol.
