Laser welding application for car body manufacturing has many advantages in the stiffness and the lightness of vehicle, the productivity of assembly line, and the degree of freedom in design. This presentation will express the innovation of car body manufacturing including parameter optimization, process modeling, and system integration. In this application the investment for systems was cut down dramatically by real time switching over the laser path between two welding stations. Points of technical discussion are as follows: optimization of parameters such as laser power, robot speed and trajectory, compact and useful design of jig & fixture to assure welding quality for 3 sheet-layer zinc-coated steel, system integration between 4kW Nd:YAG laser device and the other systems, on-line real time welding quality monitoring system, perfect safety standards for high power laser, minimization of consumption costs such as arc lamp, protective glass for optic, etc. Laser welding has found a place on Hyundai's production plant in conjunction with the startup of mass production of new sports car, and this production system is the result of a collaboration of its engineers. Outer side sheets are joined to inner side sheets by 122 stitch welds totally. And the length is about 2.4meter.

The graph-based SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) approach has been gaining much attention in SLAM research recently thanks to its ability to provide better maps and full trajectory estimations when compared to the filtering-based SLAM approach. Even though graph-based SLAM requires batch processing causing it to be computationally heavy, recent advancements in optimization and computing power enable it to run fast enough to be used in real-time. However, data association problems still require large amount of computation when building a pose graph. For example, to find loop closures it is necessary to consider the whole history of the robot trajectory and sensor data within the confident range. As a pose graph grows, the number of candidates to be searched also grows. It makes searching the loop closures a bottleneck when solving the SLAM problem. Our approach to alleviate this bottleneck is to sample a limited number of pose nodes in which loop closures are searched. We propose a heuristic for sampling pose nodes that are most advantageous to closing loops by providing a way of ranking pose nodes in order of usefulness for closing loops.

In this paper, a cable-driven endoscopic manipulator (CEM) is designed for the Chinese latest compact fusion reactor. The whole CEM arm is more than 3000 mm long and includes end vision tools, an endoscopic manipulator/control system, a feeding system, a drag chain system, support systems, a neutron shield door, etc. It can cover a range of ±45° of the vacuum chamber by working in a wrap-around mode, etc., to meet the need for observation at any position and angle. By placing all drive motors in the end drive box via a cable drive, cooling, and radiation protection of the entire robot can be facilitated. To address the CEM motion control problem, a discrete trajectory tracking method is proposed. By restricting each joint of the CEM to the target curve through segmental fitting, the trajectory tracking control is completed. To avoid the joint rotation angle overrun, a joint limit rotation angle optimization method is proposed based on the equivalent rod length principle. Finally, the CEM simulation system is established. The rationality of the structure design and the effectiveness of the motion control algorithm are verified by the simulation.

본 연구는 휴머노이드 로봇 중에서 사람과 같은 방법으로 초상화를 그리는 로봇 암의 이동 궤적 최적화에 대해 기술한다. 이전에도 이러한 사람의 얼굴을 초상화로 그리는 로봇이 존재하였지만 대부분 인간과 유사한 움직임을 보이지 못하고 딱딱하고 단조로운 움직임을 보였다. 이런 단점을 보완하기 위해 가장 짧은 궤적을 찾는 알고리즘을 사용하여 보다 유연한 움직임을 구현하고, 초상화를 그리는 일련의 과정 중에서 입력된 영상을 가공하여 인간과 같이 그릴 수 있는 좌표를 효과적으로 정렬하고, 추출된 좌표를 바탕으로 로봇 암의 가장 빠르고 효율적인 이동궤적을 구한다.

4족 보행로봇의 빠른 걸음새를 자동으로 생성하는 문제에 대해서 GP(Genetic Programming)와 CPG(Central Pattern Generator) 기반의 두 가지 방식을 비교한다. GP(Genetic Programming)를 이용한 관절좌표계 상에서의 걸음새 생성 기법은 발끝의 자취와 수 많은 자세 파라미터를 사용하는 대신에 적은수의 관절 궤적을 생성하므로 효율적이다. CPG는 뇌로부터의 입력을 받아서 진동적인 출력을 생성하는 신경회로로 고등생물의 걸음 원리를 수학적으로 모델링한 것이다. 바이올로이드로 구성된 4족 보행로봇에 대하여 Webots기반의 ODE 시뮬레이션을 통해 접근 기법들에 대한 최적화를 수행하고 결과를 비교 분석한다. 그리고, 구해진 시뮬레이션과 결과를 실제 로봇에 대해서 각 동작을 실행시켜 보면서 CPG와 GP 기반의 걸음새 방식의 실제적인 성능 및 특성을 고찰한다.

모델예측제어는 기준 궤적이 알려져 있을 경우 제어시스템의 예측모델을 이용하여 현재 제어상태 및 미래오차 등을 예측하여 현재 제어입력을 최적화시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방법이다. 모바일로봇의 제어입력이 물리적으로 무한히 큰 값을 가질 수 없으므로 제한조건을 갖는 예측제어기 설계가 고려되어야 한다. 또한 예측제어기의 제어성능을 결정하는 기준모델행렬 $A_r$과 가중치행렬 Q, R들이 임의로 설정됨에 따라 성능이 최적화되지 못한 부분도 설계에 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 제한조건을 갖는 quadratic programming 문제로 변형하여 모바일로봇의 예측제어기를 구성하고, 모바일 로봇의 제어성능을 결정하는 예측제어기의 제어파라미터인 기준모델행렬 $A_r$과 가중치행렬 Q, R에 대하여 유전알고리즘을 적용하여 제어파라미터들을 최적화함으로써 제어성능을 높일 수 있었다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 본 연구에서 제안한 제어방법이 기존의 예측제어기의 추종성능보다 뛰어남을 확인하고자한다.

This paper presents a hierarchical trajectory planning method which can handle a collision-free of the planned path in complex and dynamic environments. A PV (Path & Velocity profile) planning method minimizes a sharp change of orientation and waiting time to avoid a collision with moving obstacle through detour path. The path generation problem is solved by three steps. In the first step, a smooth global path is generated using $A^*$ algorithm. The second step sets up the velocity profile for the optimization problem considering the maximum velocity and acceleration. In the third step, the velocity profile for obtaining the shortest path is optimized using the fuzzy and genetic algorithm. To show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method, realistic simulations are performed.
