Robot's technology was very simple and repetitive in the past. Nowadays, robots are required to perform intelligent operation. So, path planning has been studied extensively to create a path from start position to the goal position. In this paper, potential field algorithm was used for path planning in dynamic environments. It is used for a path plan of mobile robot because it is elegant mathematical analysis and simplicity. However, there are some problems. The problems are collision risk, avoidance path, time attrition. In order to resolve path problems, we amalgamated potential field algorithm with the artificial neural network system. The input of the neural network system is set using relative velocity and location between the robot and the obstacle. The output of the neural network system is used for the weighting factor of the repulsive potential function. The potential field algorithm problem of mobile robot's path planning can be improved by using artificial neural network system. The suggested algorithm was verified by simulations in various dynamic environments.

In this paper, we present the new angular velocity pick-off method for DTG (dynamically tuned gyroscope) which is widely used in various inertial navigation systems and motion control systems. In case of the external angular velocity input, the proposed scheme can make a smaller tilt-angle rather than that of conventional PI method in the transient and steady state because it has an additional inner rebalance loop with a mathematical model of the real gyroscope. So, without any mechanical redesign of the DTG, its dynamic range can be enlarged by the proposed method. The theoretical analysis and simulation model of DTG with the proposed scheme are given. Finally, the proposed scheme is verified.

In this paper, we propose deep learning-based target distance and velocity estimation technique for OFDM radar systems. In the proposed technique, the 2D periodogram is obtained via 2D fast Fourier transform (FFT) from the reflected signal after removing the modulation effect. The periodogram is the input to the conventional and proposed estimators. The peak of the 2D periodogram represents the target, and the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) algorithm is the most popular conventional technique for the target's distance and speed estimation. In contrast, the proposed method is designed using the multiple output convolutional neural network (CNN). Unlike the conventional CFAR, the proposed estimator is easier to use because it does not require any additional information such as noise power. According to the simulation results, the proposed CNN improves the mean square error (MSE) by more than 5 times compared with the conventional CFAR, and the proposed estimator becomes more accurate as the number of transmitted OFDM symbols increases.

As the range of use of urban unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) expands, it is necessary to operate UAVs efficiently because of its limited battery capacity. For this, it is required to find the optimal flight profile with various simulations. Therefore, it is important to predict the power and energy consumption of the UAV battery. In this paper, we analyzed the relationship between the speed and acceleration of the UAV and power consumption during the flight. Then, we derived a linear model, which is easily utilized. In addition, we also derived an accurate power consumption model based on deep neural network learning. To find the efficient model, we used learning data as 1) the GPS 3-axis velocity and acceleration data, 2) the IMU 3-axis velocity only, and 3) the IMU 3-axis velocity and acceleration data. The final model shows 5.86% error rate for power consumption and 1.50% error rate for the cumulative energy consumption.

The evaluation of the drag and lift as the aerodynamic performance of airfoils is essential. In addition, the analysis of the velocity and pressure fields is needed to support the physical mechanism of the force coefficients of the airfoil. Thus, the present study aims at establishing two different deep learning models to predict force coefficients and flow fields of the airfoil. One is the convolutional neural network (CNN) model to predict drag and lift coefficients of airfoil. Another is the Encoder-Decoder (ED) model to predict pressure distribution and velocity vector field. The images of airfoil section are applied as the input data of both models. Thus, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is adopted to form the dataset to training and test of both CNN models. The models are established by the convergence performance for the various hyperparameters. The prediction capability of the established CNN model and ED model is evaluated for the various NACA sections by comparing the true results obtained by the CFD, resulting in the high accurate prediction. It is noted that the predicted results near the leading edge, where the velocity has sharp gradient, reveal relatively lower accuracies. Therefore, the more and high resolved dataset are required to improve the highly nonlinear flow fields.

Conventional target tracking algorithms based on the linear estimation techniques perform quite efficiently when the target motion does not involve maneuvers. Target maneuvers involving short term accelerations, however, cause a bias in the measurement sequence. Accurate compensation for the bias requires processing more samples of which adds to the computational complexity. The primary motivation for employing a neural network for this task comes from the efficiency with which more features can be as inputs for bias compensation. A system architecture that efficiently integrates the fusion capabilities of a trained multilayer neural net with the tracking performance of a Kalman filter is described. The parallel processing capability of a properly trained neural network can permit fast processing of features to yield correct acceleration estimates and hence can take the burden off the primary Kalman filter which still provides the target position and velocity estimates.

For navigation of a mobile robot, it is one of the essential tasks of find out its current position. Dead reckoning is the most frequently used method to estimate its position. However conventional dead reckoner is prone to give us false information on the robot position especially when the wheels are slipping. This paper proposes an improved dead reckoning scheme using neural networks. The network detects the instance of wheel slipping and estimates the linear velocity of the wheel ; thus it calculates current position and heading angel of a mobile robot. The structure and variables of the neural network are chosen based on the analysis of slip motion robot. The structure and variables of the neural network are chosen based on the analysis of slip motion characteristics. A series of experiments are performed to investigate the performance of the improved dead reckoning system.

In this paper, we propose the self-autonomous algorithm for mobile robot system. The proposed mobile robot system which is teamed by learning with the neural networks can trace the target at the same distances. The mobile robot can evaluate the distance between robot and target with ultrasonic sensors. By teaming the setup distance, current distance and command velocity, the robot can do intelligent self-autonomous drive. We use the neural network and back-propagation algorithm as a tool of learning. As a result, we confirm the ability of tracing the target with proposed mobile robot.
