본 연구에서는 촉각 센서와 에너지 수확소자가 한 소자에 융합되어있는 구조를 제안한다. 이 소자는 압전 스트랩과 유연한 튜브, 폴리머 필름으로 구성되어있으며, 유연하며 잘 늘어나는 직물구조를 갖는다. 완성된 소자에 수평방향의 인장 및 수축 힘이 가해지면 전압이 발생하여 에너지 수확소자로 동작하며, 수직방향의 힘이 가해지면 정전용량이 변화하여 촉각센서로 동작한다. 제작한 소자가 에너지 수확소자로 동작할 때 최대 36.6 V의 출력 전압이 측정되었으며, 소자를 누르는 수직힘이 증가할수록 정전용량이 커지는 것을 확인하였다.

Piezoelectric energy harvesting has attracted increasing attention over the last decade as a means for generating sustainable and long-lasting energy from wasted mechanical energy. To develop self-powered wearable devices, piezoelectric materials should be flexible, stretchable, and bio-eco-friendly. This study proposed the fabrication of stretchable piezoelectric composites via dispersing perovskite-structured BaTiO₃ nanoparticles inside an Ecoflex polymeric matrix. In particular, the stretchable piezoelectric sensor array was fabricated via a simple and cost-effective spin-coating process by exploiting the piezoelectric composite comprising of BaTiO₃ nanoparticles, Ecoflex matrix, and stretchable Ag coated textile electrodes. The fabricated sensor generated an output voltage of ~4.3 V under repeated compressing deformations. Moreover, the piezoelectric sensor array exhibited robust mechanical stability during mechanical pushing of ~5,000 cycles. Finite element method with multiphysics COMSOL simulation program was employed to support the experimental output performance of the fabricated device. Finally, the stretchable piezoelectric sensor array can be used as a self-powered touch sensor that can effectively detect and distinguish mechanical stimuli, such as pressing by a human finger. The fabricated sensor demonstrated potential to be used in a stretchable, lead-free, and scalable piezoelectric sensor array.

Recently, as the number of people using Smartphones increased, several researches has been launched basing it's subject on this issue. In this circumstance, the fusion of sensor technologies and Smartphone offers a variety of functions. The system introduced in the current paper uses a controller which extracts information about accelerating movements of an user. This information is then sent to the Smartphone through Bluetooth communication. The input method proposed in this paper differs from the existing methods such as touch typing or button input in Smartphones. It rather uses the 3-D acceleration sensor which enables users to control their Smartphone anywhere and anytime without directly touching the device. Furthermore, because it is developed for various applications, it can be applied in many different fields.

This paper describes the development of the sensor interface and driver program for a point of care (POC) device. The proposed pac device comprises an ARM9 embedded processor and eight-channel sensor input to measure various bio-signals. It features a user-friendly interface using a full-color TFT-LCD and touch-screen, and a bluetooth wireless communication module. The proposed device is based on the system on a programmable chip (SOPC). We use Altera's Excalibur device, which has an ARM9 and FPGA area on a chip, as a test bed for the development of interface hardware and driver software.

Recently, various kinds of new computer controlled devices have been introduced in a wide range of areas, and convenient user interfaces for controlling the devices are strongly needed. To implement natural user interfaces(NUIs) on top of the devices, new technologies like a touch screen, Wii Remote, wearable interfaces, and Microsoft Kinect were presented. This paper presents a natural and intuitive gesture-based model for controlling contents of LCD display. Microsoft Kinect sensor and its SDK are used to recognize human gestures, and the gestures are interpreted into corresponding commands to be executed. A command dispatch model is also proposed in order to handle the commands more naturally. I expect the proposed interface can be used in various fields, including display contents control.

Most people with visual impairments can not use both hands freely because they carry a cane. And unnecessary contact with people around you during walking can occur. Other guides include guide dogs, but the price and maintenance cost are expensive and difficult to manage. In this paper, we propose a smart glove, which prevents unnecessary contact when blind people use the cane, detects the obstacle ahead by using the ultrasonic sensor, and informs the presence of the obstacle by using the servo motor. In addition, the electrostatic proximity touch module on the fingers executes a specific application of the smart phone connected by Bluetooth when the finger touches each other. It is designed to allow you to use text or phone calls when you are lost or in an emergency. The results of this study will be used as a tool to provide a more convenient life for the visually impaired.

Development of high speed feed drive system has been a major issue for the past few decades in machine tool industries. The reduction of the tool change time as well as rapid travel time can enhance the productivity. However, the high speed feed drive system generates more heat in nature, which leads thermal expansion that has adverse effects on the accuracy of machined parts. The detail of the model proposed is described in the paper together with the experimental methodologies using a proposed compact measurement system to examine the validity of the proposed approach. The results showed the machining accuracy could be maintained to better than $\pm$ 5$\mu\textrm{m}$ while using this sensor.

본 연구는 조선 소조립, 판넬조립 등의 공정에서 발생되는 필렛 용접 부위의 용접 자동화를 위한 로봇 시스템 개발에 관한 연구이다. 조선등의 중공업 분야에서는 작업이 중량이고 대형임에 따라 로봇이 부재의 특정위치로 이동하여 작업해야 한다. 또한 작업대상의 형상이나 치수가 매번 변경됨에 따라 이에 능동적으로 대처할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 두 대의 로봇(2대x6축=12축)이 다축 문형 캔트리(4축)에 장착된 조선용 필렛용접 로봇 시스템(16축)을 개발하였다. 필렛용접부재를 중심으로 두 대의 로봇이 양쪽을 동시에 용접하는 방식으로 고속회전토치를 적용하여 위빙동작없이 원하는 용접각장(Leg Length)을 생성할 수 있다. 캔트리 시스템은 PC 기반의 별도 제어기로 구성하여 두 대의 로봇 제어기와 신호 입출력에 의해 동시동작이 가능하도록 하였으며, 작업장에 놓인 부재의 위치오차를 보장하기 위하여 시각센서를 적용하였다. 용접시작점의 위치보정을 위한 시작점 검출을 위해접촉센서(Touch Sensor)를 적용하였으며, 용접선 추적을 위해서 아크센서(Arc Sensor)를 적용하였다. 본 시스템 2000년 1월 제작 설치가 완료되어 현재 성능 테스트가 완료된 상태로 향후 생산현장에 적용될 계획이다.

In this paper, we have developed a module that prevents a driver from using mobile phone while driving. The module is equipped with a vibration sensor to determine if the vehicle is running, a BLE module to transmit the status of the module and a speaker to transmit audible/unaudible sound to the mobile terminal where GUI application is installed. If the vehicle is judged to be moving, the application is activated and the touch function of the mobile phone is blocked. Other data are also transmitted depending on the state of the module, which informs forced module removal, battery failure, or sleep mode of the module.
