  • The data gathering delay and the network lifetime are important indicators to measure the service quality of wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs). This study proposes a dynamically cluster head (CH) selection strategy and automatic scheduling scheme of collectors for prolonging the network lifetime and shorting data gathering delay in WSAN. First the monitoring region is equally divided into several subregions and each subregion dynamically selects a sensor node as CH. These can balance the energy consumption of sensor node thereby prolonging the network lifetime. Then a task allocation method based on genetic algorithm is proposed to uniformly assign tasks to actuators. Finally the trajectory of each actuator is optimized by ant colony optimization algorithm. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the results show that the method performs better to extend network lifetime while also reducing data delay.

  • 무선 센서 엑츄에이터 네트워크(WSAN) 시스템은 기존의 무선 센서 네트워크(WSN)에서 엑츄에이터 기능을 추가한 센서 노드들을 연결하여 망을 구성하는 시스템이다. 엑츄에이터는 센서 노드와 함께 작동하며, 재난구호, 군용 감시체계, 건강 모니터링 및 기반시설 보안 등의 여러 응용분야에 적용된다. 이러한 응용분야는 적시에 정확하게 작동하여 데이터를 신뢰성 있게 전달하는 능력이 요구된다. 생물학적으로 영감을 받은 모델링 기법은 개별적인 단순함을 유지하면서 동시에 강인성과 확장성, 적응성을 달성할 수 있는 기법으로 최근 상당한 관심을 받아오고 있다. 본 논문에서는 생물학적 메커니즘 중 전염병 전파 모델을 기반으로 이산 동적 모델을 제안하고 WSAN 시스템에 적용하고자 한다. 이를 위해 에너지 소모를 최소화하면서 동시에 시간지연 구속조건을 갖는 데이터 전파를 위한 노드 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법의 평형 상태 분석과 제어이론을 바탕으로 시스템의 안정성을 분석한 후 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 요구 지연 시간을 만족하는 동시에 에너지 소모를 줄이는 성능을 검증한다.

  • In this study, we propose a clustering algorithm to enhance the performance of wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs). In each cluster, a multi-level hierarchical structure can be applied to reduce energy consumption. In addition to the cluster head, some nodes can be selected as intermediate nodes (INs). Each IN manages a subcluster that includes its neighbors. INs aggregate data from members in its subcluster, then send them to the cluster head. The selection of intermediate nodes aiming to optimize energy consumption can be considered high computational complexity mixed-integer linear programming. Therefore, a heuristic lowest energy path searching algorithm is proposed to reduce computational time. Moreover, a channel assignment scheme for subclusters is proposed to minimize interference between neighboring subclusters, thereby increasing aggregated throughput. Simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme can prolong network lifetime in WSANs.

  • The Interest in robotics has been steadily increasing in recent times both in Korea as well as abroad. Research on robots for new and diverse fields is ongoing. This study discusses the current research and development on robot actuator, which are used to control the joints of robots, and focuses on developing more efficient technology for joint control, as compared with the current technologies. It also aims to find means to apply the abovementioned technology to diverse industrial fields. We found that easy and effective control of actuators could be achieved by using ZigBee sensor networks, which were widely being used on wireless communications. Throughout the experiments it is proved that the developed wireless actuator could be used for easy control of various robot joints. This technology can be effectively applied to develop two-legged robots that will be able to walk like human, or even quadruped and hexapod robots. It can also be applied to motors used in industry. In this study, we develop an extremely minimized ZigBee sensor network module that can be used to control various servo motors with low power consumption even if it is long distances. We realized effective wireless control by optimizing the ZigBee antenna, and were able to quickly check the status of relevant Tree node through mutual communication between the servo motors composing the ZigBee sensor network and the main server control modules. The developed Servo Motor with ZigBee sensor network modules can be applied in both robotics as well as for home or factory automation.

  • 무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network)는 차세대 IT 기술로서 소형, 저가, 저전력을 필요로 하며, 외부환경의 모니터링과 제어기능을 수행할 수 있다. 이것은 소형 장치 안에 마이크로프로세서, 각종 센서, 액추에이터, 유 무선 통신 장치를 내장하는 수백 혹은 수천 개의 센서 노드로 구성된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 센서 네트워크를 이용하여 기상의 악천 후 속에서 차량 및 도로 상황 정보를 실시간으로 미리 획득하고 분석하여 운전자에게 미리 도로의 안전속도를 통보할 수 있는 실시간 차량 안전속도 서비스 시스템을 설계하고 구현된 결과를 보여 주고자 한다. 본 시스템은 노면의 종류 및 기상 상태 등에 대한 정보를 수집하여 이를 바탕으로 운전자에게 안전 속도를 알려줌으로써 교통사고를 효과적으로 예방할 수 있는 방법을 제공할 수 있다.

  • In wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs), the network lifetime is an important criterion to measure the performance of the WSAN system. Generally, the network lifetime is mainly affected by the energy of sensors. However, the energy of sensors is limited, and the batteries of sensors cannot be replaced and charged. So, it is crucial to make energy consumption efficient. WSAN introduces multiple actuators that can be regarded as multiple collectors to gather data from their respective surrounding sensors. But how to deploy actuators to reduce the energy consumption of sensors and increase the manageability of the network is an important challenge. This research optimizes actuators deployment by a proposed probabilistic mutation multi-layer particle swarm optimization algorithm to maximize the coverage of actuators to sensors and reduce the energy consumption of sensors. Simulation results show that this method is effective for improving the coverage rate and reducing the energy consumption.

  • Purpose: As application-specific wireless sensor networks are gaining popularity, this paper discusses the development and field performance of the GHAN, a greenhouse area network system to monitor, control, and access greenhouse microenvironments. GHAN, which is an upgraded system, has many new functions. It is an intelligent wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN) system for next-generation greenhouses, which enhances the state of the art of greenhouse automation systems and helps growers by providing them valuable information not available otherwise. Apart from providing online spatial and temporal monitoring of the greenhouse microclimate, GHAN has a modified vapor pressure deficit (VPD) fuzzy controller with an adaptive-selective mechanism that provides better control of the greenhouse crop VPD with energy optimization. Using the latest soil-matrix potential sensors, the GHAN system also ascertains when, where, and how much to irrigate and spatially manages the irrigation schedule within the greenhouse grids. Further, given the need to understand the microclimate control dynamics of a greenhouse during the crop season or a specific time, a statistical assessment tool to estimate the degree of optimality and spatial variability is proposed and implemented. Methods: Apart from the development work, the system was field-tested in a commercial greenhouse situated in the region of Punjab, India, under different outside weather conditions for a long period of time. Conclusions: Day results of the greenhouse microclimate control dynamics were recorded and analyzed, and they proved the successful operation of the system in keeping the greenhouse climate optimal and uniform most of the time, with high control performance.
