일반적으로 유전 알고리즘은 전형적인 프로세서에서 수행할 경우 매우 큰 시간 공간 복잡도를 가진다. 따라서 유전 알고리즘 처리를 위해서는 고성능$\cdot$고가격의 프로세서를 필요로 하게 된다. 또한 이것은 유전 알고리즘을 소형 이동 로봇과 같이 비교적 간단한 룰을 필요로 하는 실제 하드웨어에 적용하는데 있어 큰 장벽으로 작용한다. 이러한 문제의 해결을 위해, 본 논문에서는 유전 알고리즘의 신속한 처리를 위해 강화된 프로세서 구조를 보인다. 정렬 네트워크와 residue number system (RNS)를 이용하여 일반적인 프로세서의 구조를 유전 알고리즘의 처리에 효율적이도록 강화할 수 있다. 정렬 네트워크는 유전 알고리즘에 필수적인 해들의 품질 비교를 하드웨어적으로 처리할 수 있게 하여 수행에 요구되는 시간을 줄일 수 있다. RNS는 산술 연산의 속도를 좌우하는 bit 사이즈를 줄여 전체적인 로직의 사이즈를 줄이고, 산술 연산의 처리 속도를 빠르게 할 수 있다.

We consider problems of tool loading and scheduling in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) in which tool transportation constitutes the major portion of material flows. In this type of FMSs, parts are initially assigned to machines and released to the machines according to input sequencing rules. Operations for the parts released to the machines are performed by tools initially loaded onto the machines or provided by an automatic tool transport robot when needed. For an efficient operation of such systems, therefore, we may have to consider loading and scheduling problems for tools in addition to those for parts. In this paper, we consider three problems, part loading, tool loading, and tool scheduling problems with the overall objective of minimizing the makespan. The part loading problem is solved by a method similar to that for the bin packing problem and then a heuristic based on the frequency of tool usage is applied for tool loading. Also suggested are part input sequencing and tool scheduling rules. To show the effectiveness of the overall algorithm suggested here, we compare it with an existing algorithm through a series of computational tests on randomly generated test problems.

There are many type vehicles in army. They are jeep and truck by basic type. Recently many countries are developing new conceptual military vehicles. And they try for export of those military vehicles to another countries. Also Korea Army is developing military tactical and combat vehicles, and considering various necessary factors for export. But as easing the cold war system tension and reducing of defense budget, decrease in quantity of military vehicles. We think this trend is accelerative. Therefore Government(Military) and defense industry make every effort to increasing sales and productions. In this study, I'll inquire '2013~2017 basic plan for defense industry promotion' for strengthen the power of international competitiveness, and then suggest the increasing method for productions of military vehicles.

Cranes are generally used to drop or lift equipment or materials. The present study focuses on equipment used for dropping and lifting the sonar system for undersea exploration. This study deals with a GA-based MATLAB$^{(R)}$ simulation for the design optimization of a new overboarding prototype with a two degree-of-freedom mechanism, including a parallelogram link, which is efficient in sonar system operation and maintenance. First, the strengths and weaknesses of the existing overboarding mechanisms are analyzed. The new mechanism to solve these problems is then suggested. For the proposed mechanism, the GA-based MATLAB$^{(R)}$ simulation technique is applied to the proposed mechanism to optimize the link lengths and the actuator lengths. By doing this, the mechanism cannot interfere in the hull's internal environment. Hence, the work range of motion (ROM) is satisfied, and good torque-angle properties are obtaind. The developed technology will be helpful in calculating the maximized output torque of the actuator for the application in practice using a similar type of the proposed mechanism.

Since Chrysler Motor Co. had experienced the digital development system in the beginning of 1990's, most of leading automobile companies are trying to apply a digital information system for their own business process reengineering based upon concurrent engineering system from product planning phase. This is called as virtual DMU(Digital Mock-Up) system instead of the traditional PMU(Physical Mock-Up) system. By using the virtual prototype, all of the design requirements and system specifications can be checked, changed and optimized more quickly and more efficiently. This paper consists of five chapters for the DMU information system. In the 1$^{st}$ chapter, the principle of digital design system is suggested by using four basic modules such as product design module, process design module, manufacturing system design module and central control module. The basic scheme of DMU is introduced with the benefits of application in the chapter 2. In the chapter 3, a digital design process of new car development is explained with the detailed DMU design and design review processes. In the chapter 4, the practical DMU manufacturing techniques and applications are introduced as CAD/CAM analyses, DPA(Digital Pre-Assembly)reviews for development, production, operation and maintenance phases, digital tolerance analyses and digital factory analyses for assembling line simulation, automated robot welding processes, production jig ＆ fixtures and painting process simulation. Finally, the activities of digital design support; CAS-styling, CAE-engineering and CAT-testing are summarized for design optimization in the chapter 5. As today's automobile manufactures and related business organizations are struggling to compete in the global marketplace, they are concentrating on efficient use of DMU information system to reduce the new car development cost, to have shorten the delivery schedule and to improve product design quality. To meet the demand of those automobile industries on digital information systems, the CALS(Computer aided Acquisition and Logistics Support) and EC(Electronic Commerce)initiative has been focused as a dominant philosophy in defense ＆ commercial industries, specially automobile industries.s.

Underwater robots generally show better performances for tasks than humans under certain underwater constraints such as. high pressure, limited light, etc. To properly diagnose in an underwater environment using remotely operated underwater vehicles, it is important to keep autonomously its own position and orientation in order to avoid additional control efforts. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to assist in the operation for the various disturbances of a remotely operated vehicle for the diagnosis of underwater structures. The conventional AHRS-based bearing estimation system did not work well due to incorrect measurements caused by the hard-iron effect when the robot is approaching a ferromagnetic structure. To overcome this drawback, we propose a sensor fusion algorithm with the camera and AHRS for estimating the pose of the ROV. However, the image information in the underwater environment is often unreliable and blurred by turbidity or suspended solids. Thus, we suggest an efficient method for fusing the vision sensor and the AHRS with a criterion which is the amount of blur in the image. To evaluate the amount of blur, we adopt two methods: one is the quantification of high frequency components using the power spectrum density analysis of 2D discrete Fourier transformed image, and the other is identifying the blur parameter based on cepstrum analysis. We evaluate the performance of the robustness of the visual odometry and blur estimation methods according to the change of light and distance. We verify that the blur estimation method based on cepstrum analysis shows a better performance through the experiments.
