The objective of this study is to develop a method that is able to realize autonomous traveling for tractor-like robot on the slope terrain. A neural network (NN) and genetic algorithms (GAs) have been used for resolving nonlinear problems in this system. The NN is applied to create a vehicle simulator that is capable to describe the motion of the tractor robot on the slope, while it is impossible by the common dynamics way. Using this vehicle simulator, a control law optimized by GAs was established and installed in the computer to control the steering wheel of tractor robot. The autonomous traveling carried out on a 14-degree slope had initial successful results.

This study proposes a efficient technology to control the optimal trajectory planning and real-time implementation method which can perform autonomous travelling for unmaned factory automation. Online path planning should plan and execute alternately in a short time, and hence it enables the robot avoid unknown dynamic obstacles which suddenly appear on robot's path. Based on Route planning and control algorithm, we suggested representation of edge cost, heuristic function, and priority queue management, to make a modified Route planning algorithm. Performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation test.

In this paper, we propose an improved path planning method and obstacle avoidance algorithm for two-wheel mobile robots, which can be effectively applied in an environment where obstacles can be represented by circles. Firstly, we briefly introduce the rapidly exploring random tree (RRT) and single polar polynomial (SPP) algorithm. Secondly, we present additional two methods for applying our proposed method. Thirdly, we propose a global path planning, smoothing and obstacle avoidance method that combines the RRT and SPP algorithms. Finally, we present a simulation using our proposed method and check the feasibility. This shows that proposed method is better than existing methods in terms of the optimality of the trajectory and the satisfaction of the kinematic constraints.

In this paper, the maze navigation system using image recognition for autonomous mobile robot is proposed. The proposed maze navigation system searches the target by image recognition method based on ADALINE neural network. The infrared sensor system must travel all blocks to find target because it can recognize only one block information each time. But the proposed maze navigation system can reduce the number of traveling blocks because of the ability of sensing several blocks at once. Especially, due to the simplicity of the algorithm, the proposed method could be easily implemented to the system which has low capacity processor.

This paper introduces a robot platform which can do weeding while traveling between rice seedlings stably against irregular land surface of a paddy field. Also, an autonomous navigation technique that can track on stable state without any damage of the seedlings in the working area is proposed. Detection of the rice seedlings and avoidance knocking down by the robot platform is achieved by the sensor fusion of a laser range finder (LRF) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). These sensors are also used to control navigating direction of the robot to keep going along the column of rice seedling consistently. Deviation of the robot direction from the rice column that is sensed by the LRF is fed back to a proportional and derivative controller to obtain stable adjustment of navigating direction and get proper returning speed of the robot to the rice column.

In this work, we present the development of a patrol robot which is intended to navigate outdoor rough terrain. Proposed mechanism consists of six legs for overcoming an obstacle, and six wheels for traveling. Also, in order to absorb vibration in rough terrain effectively, the slide-spring system and tubed type tire are adopted to each leg and each wheel. The control system of robot consists of several imbedded boards for management of lots of diverse devices such as sensors designed for rough terrain, motor controllers, camera, micro controller and so on. And the base system of the robot is designed to operate in real time and to surveille in the vicinity of the robot, and the robot system is controlled by wireless LAN connected to GUI-based remote control system, while CAN communication connects the control board and the device controllers for sensors and motor controllers. For operating this robot system efficiently, we propose the control algorithms for autonomous navigation using GPS, stabilization maintenance by posture control, obstacle-avoidance by impedance control, and obstacle-overcoming with interference-avoidance between wheels. The performance of the robot and the proposed algorithms are tested and proved by a set of experiments in outdoor rough terrain.

In this paper, we describe an sound tracking mobile robot suitable for areas where GPS is not available. Sound sensors are attached to four sides of the robot in order to locate the person in a danger, and the robot is supposed to move to the yelling person. The traveling distance of the mobile robot is calculated by the encoder attached to the wheel of the mobile robot. The moving direction of the mobile robot is measured by a gyro sensor on the robot. When the person in danger pushes a button of the mobile robot, the mobile robot transmits the trajectory data to a designated server.

This research addresses sound command based human tracking problems for autonomous cleaning mobile robot in a networked AI space. To solve the problem, the difference among the traveling times of the sound command to each of three microphones has been used to calculate the distance and orientation of the sound from the cleaning mobile robot, which carries the microphone array. The cross-correlation between two signals has been applied for detecting the time difference between two signals, which provides reliable and precise value of the time difference compared to the conventional methods. To generate the tracking direction to the sound command, fuzzy rules are applied and the results are used to control the cleaning mobile robot in a real-time. Finally the experiment results show that the proposed algorithm works well, even though the mobile robot knows little about the environment.

본 논문은 실내 환경에서 QR 코드를 이용하여 목적지 자율 주행이 가능한 운반 로봇에 관한 연구이다. 운반 로봇은 QR 코드 인식을 위한 카메라와 좌우 벽과의 거리를 감지하여 로봇이 이동 중 일정한 간격을 유지할 수 있도록 라이다 센서가 부착하여 설계 제작하였다. 운반 로봇의 위치 정보는 QR 코드 영상을 Lanczos resampling 보간법으로 확대한 후 Otsu Algorithm 으로 이진화하고, Zbar 라이브러리를 활용하여 검출 및 해석을 수행하였다. QR 코드 인식은 운반 로봇의 카메라 위치와 QR 코드 높이가 192cm 로 고정된 상태에서 QR 코드의 크기와 운반 로봇의 주행 속도를 변화시키면서 실험을 수행하였으며, QR 코드 크기가 9cm×9cm 일 때 99.7%, 운반 로봇의 주행 속도가 약 0.5m/s 이하 일 때 거의 100%의 인식률을 보여주었다. QR 코드 인식율을 바탕으로 목적지 자율주행을 위해 장애물이 없는 상태에서 목적지가 직진만 있는 경우와 목적지가 직진과 회전이 있는 경우에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 목적지가 직진만 있는 경우에는 위치 보정이 거의 필요 없어 목적지에 빠르게 도달할 수 있었으나, 목적지에 회전이 포함된 경우에는 위치 보정이 필요하여 목적지에 도착하는 시간이 상대적으로 지연되었다. 실험 결과, 운반 로봇이 주행 중 약간의 위치 오차가 발생하였으나 비교적 정확하게 목적지에 도달함을 알 수 있었으며, QR 코드 기반 목적지 자율주행 운반 로봇의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.
