This paper discusses the interacting mobile robots for tele-operation system using the world wide web. In multi-agent and web-based teleoperation environment the problem of communication delay must be solved for the efficient and robust control of the system. The standard graphic user interface(GUI)is implemented using Java Programing language. The web browser is used to integrate the virtual environment and the standard GUI(Java applet) in a single user interface. Users can access a dedicated WWWserver and download the user interface. Reinforcement learning is applied to indirect control in order to autonomously operate without the need of human intervention. Java application has been developed to communicate and control multi robots using WWW. The effectiveness of our multi robots system is verified by simulation and experiments ...

텔레프레즌스(tele-presence)와 원격조정(tele-operation) 기술은 멀리 떨어진 사용자에게 몰입감이 높은(immersive) 장면이나 모바일 로봇 등의 제어 환경을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 호모그래피(homography) 정보 기반의 카메라 추적기술을 이용한 텔레프레즌스 시스템이 제안된다. 먼저 카메라가 탑재된 HMD(head mounted display)를 착용한 사용자의 머리 움직임을 카메라 추적기술로 분석한다. 그리고 전방향(omni-directional) 카메라를 장착한 로봇으로부터 입력되는 파노라마 영상에서 사용자의 시야(field of view)에 해당하는 장면을 생성하여 HMD를 통해 디스플레이한다. 사용자의 움직임을 추정하는 과정에서 3차원 평면으로 구성된 공간의 호모그래피 정보를 이용하며, 실제로 측정된 3차원 데이터를 기준으로 마커기반의 ARToolkit을 이용하는 방법과 호모그래피 기반 방법의 정확도를 각각 비교하였다.

본 연구는 LTE 통신망을 사용하여, 실시간 드론 원격주행 시스템을 제안한다. 원격지에 위치한 드론을 180km 떨어진 거리에 위치한 조종자가 50msec 시간지연으로 실시간 고도와 위치, 자세를 제어하면서 조정한다. 조정자의 조정 신호에 따라 움직이는 드론의 영상과 모션 정보는 실시간으로 조정자에게 전송되어, 영상은 조종자의 HMD에서 재생되며, 모션 정보는 조종자가 탑승한 시뮬레이터를 구동하게 된다. 일반으로 드론조정은 RF 신호를 사용하여 통상 2km 이내에서 직접 조정이 가능하며, 이 이상의 거리에서는 미션 플래너를 사용하여 GPS 운행을 한다. 따라서 장거리 비행 중 발생하는 긴급 상황에 대처하는 방안은 자동 비행 종료 후, 원위치로 복귀하는 기능이 주를 이룬다. 본 연구에서는 LTE 통신을 사용하여, 비행 중인 드론의 모션과 영상을 평균 50m sec 이내로 조종자에게 전송하여, 조종자에게 실제 원격지의 드론 위에서 조정하는 것과 유사한 실감환경을 제시한다. 제안된 시스템의 검증을 위하여 대전의 드론 조종자가 강원도 인제에 위치한 드론을 조종하는 실험 결과를 제시한다.

This paper introduces a new concept of automation for bio-production with tele-operative system. The proposed system showed practical and feasible way of automation for the volatile bio-production process. Based on the proposition, recognition of the job environment with object identification was performed using computer vision system. A man-machine interactive hybrid decision-making, which utilized a concept of tele-operation was proposed to overcome limitations of the capability of computer in image processing and feature extraction from the complex environment image. Identifying watermelons from the outdoor scene of the cultivation field was selected to realize the proposed concept. Identifying watermelon from the camera image of the outdoor cultivation field is very difficult because of the ambiguity among stems, leaves, shades, and especially fruits covered partly by leaves or stems. The analog signal of the outdoor image was captured and transmitted wireless to the host computer by R.F module. The localized window was formed from the outdoor image by pointing to the touch screen. And then a sequence of algorithms to identify the location and size of the watermelon was performed with the local window image. The effect of the light reflectance of fruits, stems, ground, and leaves were also investigated.

In this paper, we suggest tele operation system of reclaimers and some side technologies for performing easy operation. The reclaimers in the raw ore yard are being used to dig ironstone and transfer it to the blast furnaces. The side technologies are to determine the minimum stacking distance between piles, collision avoidance of reclaimers and stackers. For simplicity, the pile and the boom of the reclaimer are mathematically modeled as a cone and a line in the 3-dimensional space respectively. The minimum stacking distance is obtained using the condition that the cone and the line never met. The modeling errors for the pile and reclaimers are compensated by considering the width of their reclaimer. We have also proposed a 2-stage collision detection method for the moving machines. The reclaiming heights of the pile are set to predetermined ones to make tele-operation easy.

This paper presents a novel driving system by the humanoid robot to drive a vehicle in disaster response situations. To enhance robot's capability for substituting human activities in responding to natural and man-made disaster, the one of prerequisite skills for the rescue robot is the mounted mobility to maneuver a vehicle safely in disaster site. Therefore, our driving system for the humanoid is developed in order to steer a vehicle through unknown obstacles even under poor communication conditions such as time-delay and black-out. Especially, the proposed system includes a tele-manipulation interface and stable navigation strategies. First, we propose a new type of path estimation method to overcome limited communication. Second, we establish navigation strategies when the operator cannot recognize obstacles based on Dynamic Window Approach. The effectiveness of the proposed developments is verified through simulation and experiments, which demonstrate suitable system for driving a vehicle in disaster response.

In hazardous conditions, where entry of human operators is restricted, such as high radiation regions in nuclear facilities, a lot of remote inspections and remote handling tasks must be performed. In this study, the stereo imaging system has been developed and the remote handling technique, has been studied to enhance the efficiency of tele-operation. The nozzle dam handling robot is one of the most important robots applied to nuclear facility. The robot will be equipped with the developed stereo imaging system. The stereo imaging system will outstandingly improve the tele installing/removal tasks for nozzle dam.

In this paper, we propose a remote control system which is used by internet network system in the small water booster supply. So far, TMTC(Tele Metering Tele Control) has been used to control and monitor small water booster pump. But it is possible and easy to control and observe local booster panel with the rapid development of internet, This new system is to provide operators and managers with sufficient information and control in order to implement the operation in an efficient and economical way. This system consists of three parts that are controller, netpump server and netview client. Controller has a dual architecture. The motive for installing controller is the continuous production and supply of drinking water.

In this paper, a prototype tele-operative system with a mobile base was developed in order to automate cultivation of house melon. A man-machine interactive hybrid decision-making system via tele-operative task interface was proposed to overcome limitations of computer image recognition. Identifying house melon including position data from the field image was critical to automate cultivation. And it was not simple especially when melon is covered partly by leaves and stems. The developed system was composed of 5 major modules: (a) main remote monitoring and task control module, (b) wireless remote image acquisition and data transmission module, (c) three-wheel mobile base mounted with a 4 dof articulated type robot manipulator (d) exchangeable modular type end tools, and (e) melon storage module. The system was operated through the graphic user interface using touch screen monitor and wireless data communication among operator, computer, and machine. Once task was selected from the task control and monitoring module, the analog signal of the color image of the field was captured and transmitted to the host computer using R.F. module by wireless. A sequence of algorithms to identify location and size of a melon was performed based on the local image processing. Laboratory experiment showed the developed prototype system showed the practical feasibility of automating various cultivating tasks of house melon.
