Recently, higher and bigger building is trend of the construction. Accordingly the building material is getting bigger and construction equipments are developed. But operation is still depends on human resource. Therefore there have several problems that are safety, laborious operation, and shortage of worker. In the various construction sites, the automation in construction is introduced to solve these problems. This paper proposed the automation system in construction that installs curtain wall in a high building. The system is expected effects that are reduction of a construction period, retrenchment of the cost and assurance of safety.

The objective of this research is to monitor and control the vehicle motion in order to remove out the existing safety risk based upon the human-machine cooperative vehicle control. A predictive control method is proposed to control the steering wheel of the vehicle to keep the lane. Desired angle of the steering wheel to control the vehicle motion could be calculated based upon vehicle dynamics, current and estimated pose of the vehicle every sample steps. The vehicle pose and the road curvature were calculated by geometrically fusing sensor data from camera image, tachometer and steering wheel encoder though the Perception Net, where not only the state variables, but also the corresponding uncertainties were propagated in forward and backward direction in such a way to satisfy the given constraint condition, maintain consistency, reduce the uncertainties, and guarantee robustness. A series of experiments was conducted to evaluate the control performance, in which a car Like robot was utilized to quit unwanted safety problem. As the results, the robot was keeping very well a given lane with arbitrary shape at moderate speed.

CTQ's choice is an important process for quality improvement. It is difficult to get customer satisfaction if CTQ is not chosen properly in view of improvement effort. However, case study or research about the supporting method for CTQ choice is not yet fully accomplished. In this paper, we propose an effective method for CTQ choice considering customer requirement through QFD as well as safety by using AHP which is one of strategic decision-making techniques for product safety. Also we show an empirical study on its application to the auto test robot system of mobile phone development.

작업자가 작업장에서 전도 등으로 인한 산업 재해를 입지 않도록 하기 위해서는 작업장에서의 전도 상황을 판단하여야 하며, 이러한 전도 상황을 측정할 때 자동화된 전도 측정 장치는 작업장에서의 효율성을 확보하는 동시에, 전도를 측정하는 사람이 측정 과정예서 일어날 수 있는 불상사 등을 예방하여 산업재해를 미연에 방지해서 이를 통한 산업 현장의 안정성 확보를 통한 부대 비용 발생을 방지할 수 있게 된다. 이러한 자동화된 전도 측정을 위한 방편으로써 전도 측정용 로봇의 개발하였다.

There is a risk of serious injury to workers who work at height in pier construction process. By using auto climbing formwork system that does not need to dismantle and reinstall formworks, it is possible to improve work efficiency and safety of workers. However, auto climbing formwork system still requires workers to work on a pier for rebar connection works and so on. In order to eliminate works by workers on the pier, robot manipulators with special end effectors are proposed. Through analysis of works on the pier, three specialized end effectors which are a gripper, a rebar coupler press, and a concrete vibrator, are suggested. Also, new pier construction scenario by the suggested system is confirmed using 3d modeling. It is expected that the proposed system and method enables pier construction without workers on piers. It will increase safety and efficiency of pier construction.

This paper presents an Ground Segmentation algorithm to eliminate unnecessary Lidar Point Cloud Data (PCD) in an autonomous driving system. We consider Random Sample Consensus (Ransac) Algorithm to process lidar ground data. Ransac designates inlier and outlier to erase ground point cloud and classified PCD into two parts. Test results show removal of PCD from ground area by distinguishing inlier and outlier. The paper validates ground rejection algorithm in real time calculating the number of objects recognized by ground data compared to lidar raw data and ground segmented data based on the z-axis. Ground Segmentation is simulated by Robot Operating System (ROS) and an analysis of autonomous driving data is constructed by Matlab. The proposed algorithm can enhance performance of autonomous driving as misrecognizing circumstances are reduced.

Recently, a prototype of a guide rail type window cleaning robot was developed, and is currently undergoing field testing. The size and the load of the robot have not yet been optimized. In this study, a stress analysis was performed to derive quantitative data to improve the current window cleaning robot and secure its structural safety. Through the analysis of its own weight, resistance to wind speed, and other factors, it was found that the robot can be improved in terms of the drooping caused by its own weight and the drag force against wind pressure. The analysis results obtained will be directly applied to improve the design of the window cleaning robot, and it is expected that this will advance the completeness of the robot's design.

This paper proposes the controller for biped robot using intelligent control algorithm. In order to simplify the complexity of biped robot control, manipulator of biped robot is divided into four modules. These modules are controlled by intelligent algorithm with Hierarchical Mixture of Experts(HME) using neural network. Also neural network having direct control method learns the inverse dynamics of biped robot. The HME, which is a network of tree structure, reallocates the input domain for the output by learning pattern of input and output. In this paper, as a result of learning HME repeatedly with EM algorithm, the controller for biped robot operating safety walking is designed by modelling dynamics of biped robot and generating virtual error of HME.

This paper presents the development of fire-fighting and rescue robot for Outdoor Environment. In the procedure of this development, we follow Target Oriented Design (TOD) which is recognized as the systematic methodology to design a system by specifying the target clearly. For some real fire fighting tasks (e.g. tasks in shopping street and a market), narrow road make it difficult for existing fire engine to access the firing place. On the other hand, for dangerous tasks (e.g. gasoline station and a storehouse) the explosive materials make it impossible for fire-fighters to access the firing place. Moreover, the smoke and the high-temperature caused by fire make fire fighting difficult. In this situation, the solution is to develop the fire-fighting and rescue robot. TOD is performed firstly by analyzing the environment properties of fro place and the demanded tasks and the fire-fighting and rescue robot is manufactured. For safety, the fire fighting robot should be controlled by remote operation to keep the operator away from the fire, and the control system is divided into three parts: the robot controllers, controller for remote operating device and wireless communication system. We have selected and developed appropriate hardware and software for each part of control system with considering TOD. As a result, the fire-fighting robot functions correctly and the performance and usefulness of our control architecture is validated by successfully performing some fire-fighting tasks.

This paper is a study for developing an agriculture automatic hose reel of mobile robot. One of the important works in farming is pesticide spraying because it is related to the growth of crops. Therefore, we develop an automatic reel hose and mobile robot. Conducting kinematic analysis of steering performance, the mobile robot is designed to move smoothly even in a small space, and that is verified by simulation. To increase supplying accuracy of the automatic hose reel, the mobile robot use detecting tension mechanism on a hose and a device for the hose deployment. We conduct performance and on-farm evaluation. This system has been maximum speed of 2.5m/s, driving accuracy of ${\pm}0.18^{\circ}$ and driving safety speed of 2m/s. The system would solve an aging population and shortage of workforce in agriculture.
