  • In this paper, we propose a walking assisting system for blind people using Android smartphone and Arduino board. In our proposed system, we use an Android smartphone case and an external ultrasonic sensor to detect the obstacles ahead. In this manner, blind people is able to aware unexpected objects by smartphone speakers or vibration functionality. In addition, the walking assisting system is also designed a notice system which will be triggered by built-in smartphone camera flash when blind people walk in some darkness place. The experimental results from real experiments on blind people have demonstrated the applicability of our walking assisting system, when it not only efficiently helps blind people avoid obstacles ahead but also possible traffic collisions in darkness condition.

  • In the paper, A prototype Fetal Heart Monitor, mini - size, was designed and produced for pre-mothers to measure the rate and rhythm of their features's heart at home.Pre-mothers could listen fetal heart rhythm through an inner bluetooth speaker ant the monitor. LED colors show the frequency of fetal heart rate variability on the monitor. All measured health information, by ultrasonic resonator and bluetooth speaker, is linked to a mother's smart phone. A test verified this simple measuring device helps users discover the symptoms of fetal health. Patients using at home devices usefully prevent sudden cardiac death and myocardial infraction by discovering symptoms.

  • 지능형 휠체어 구현에 있어 초음파 센서의 배열은 전동휠체어가 장애물을 감지할 수 있는 능력을 결정한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지능형 휠체어의 장애물 감지를 위한 초음파 센서의 효과적인 배열 방법을 제안한다. 초음파 센서 모듈은 총 10개의 4개 세트로 구성되어 있다. 전동 휠체어의 전방, 좌, 우측에는 각각 3개의 센서를 48도씩 중첩되게 겹쳐 하나의 세트로 구성하고, 후방에는 하나의 센서를 구성한다. 지능형 휠체어는 사용자 인터페이스, 장애물 회피 모듈, 모터 제어 모듈, 초음파 센서 모듈로 구성된다. 사용자 인터페이스는 정해진 명령을 하달 받고, 모터 제어 모듈은 하달된 명령과 센서들에 의해 반환된 장애물과의 거리 정보로 모터제어보드에 연결되어 있는 두 개의 좌우 모터들을 조종한다. 센서 모듈은 전동휠체어가 움직이는 동안에 주기적으로 센서들로부터 거리 값을 반환 받아 벽 또는 장애물을 감지하여 장애물의 위치를 사용자 인터페이스를 통해서 알려 주고, 또한 장애물 회피 모듈에 의해 장애물을 우회 하도록 움직인다. 제안된 방법의 센서 배열은 실험을 통해 지능형 휠체어가 임의로 설치된 장애물을 효과적으로 감지하고 보다 정확하게 장애물을 회피 할 수 있음을 보였다.

  • In spite of the recent enforcement of policies to reduce traffic accidents, pedestrian safety accidents on the back road continue to occur. In this paper, we propose a device design to prevent traffic accidents capable of measuring distance and wireless communication to quickly notify pedestrians of the vehicle's approach in a safety blind spot. The accuracy of vehicle and pedestrian distance measurement was tested using ultrasonic and radar sensors with a wide sensing range, and the possibility of responding to accidents that could provide safety for pedestrians in emergency situations was verified through a wireless communication connectivity test between target boards.

  • This paper presents the development of a software for tracking the location of objects in the water and for creating a three-dimensional hull map. The objective of this software, as a software for underwater hull cleaning robot, is to map the location of underwater hull cleaning robot and to locate the position of sensor by identifying the shaded area of acoustic communication. For the software designed for mapping the location of cleaning robot in the water, the height and intensity were applied as variables for underwater ultrasonic communication. The software for creating a three-dimensional hull was developed by OpenGL using scanned lines from a blueprint of a ship. This software can help identifying the location of underwater hull cleaning robot without actual visibility and can be used to maintain a stable communication status by locating the position of sensor by easily spotting the shaded area of acoustic communication caused by the curved area of the bottom of the ship.

  • One of the key technical challenges of wireless sensor network (WSN) is location management of sensor nodes. Typical node location management methods use GPS, ultrasonic sensors or RSSI. In this paper we propose a new location management method which adopts regression analysis of RSSI measurement to improve the accuracy of sensor node position estimation. We also evaluated the performance of proposed method by comparing the experimental results with existing scheme. According to the results, our proposed method, LM-RAR, shows better accuracy than existing location management scheme using RSSI and Friis' equation.

  • This paper presents a simple sensor network consists of a group of sensors, RF components, and microprocessors, to perform a distributed sensing and information transmission using wireless links. In the proposed sensor network, though each sensor node has a limited capability and a simple signal-processing engine, a group of sensor nodes can perform a various tasks through coordinated information sharing and wireless communication in a large working area. Using the capability of self-localization and tracking, we show the sensor network can be applied to localization and navigation of mobile robot in which the robot has to be coordinated effectively to perform given task in real time.
