This study deals with the method of post-processing in the automatic tool path generation for 5-axis NC machining. The 5-axis NC machining cannot only cope with the manufacturing of complicated shapes, but also offers numerous advantages such as reasonable tool employment, great reduction of set-up process and so on. Thus 5-axis NC machining has been used for aircraft parts, mold and die as well as for complicated shapes such as impeller, propeller and rotor. However, most of the present CAM systems for 5-axis NC machining have limited functions in terms of tool collision, machine limits and post-processing. Especially 5-axis machine configurations are various according to the method which the rotational axes are adapted with the table and spindle. For that reason, In many cases the optimal numerical control (NC) data cannot be obtained or considerable time is consumed. To solve this problem, we applied a general post-processor for 5-axis NC machining. The validity of this post-processor should be experimentally confirmed by successfully milling to a helix shaped workpiece.

In the present study, a systematic chemical kinetic calculations were made to investigate the augmentation of $NO-NO_2$ conversion due to the addition of various hydrocarbons (methane, ethylene, ethane, propylene, propane) in the nonthermal plasma treatment. It is included in the present conclusion that the reaction between hydrocarbon and oxygen radicals induced by electron collision, is believed to be a primarily process for triggering the overall NO oxidation and the eventual NOx reduction. Upon the completion of the initiating step, various radicals (OH, $HO_2$ etc.) successively are produced by hydrocarbon decomposition form the primary path of $NO-NO_2$ conversion. When the initiating step is not activated, hydrocarbon consumption rate appeared to be very low, thereby the targeted level of NO conversion can only be achieved by the addition of more input energy. Present study showed ethylene and propylene to have higher affinity with O radical under all conditions, thereby both of these hydrocarbons show very fast and efficient $NO-NO_2$ oxidation. It was also shown that propylene is superior to ethylene in the aspect of NOx removal.

This paper presents a novel driving system by the humanoid robot to drive a vehicle in disaster response situations. To enhance robot's capability for substituting human activities in responding to natural and man-made disaster, the one of prerequisite skills for the rescue robot is the mounted mobility to maneuver a vehicle safely in disaster site. Therefore, our driving system for the humanoid is developed in order to steer a vehicle through unknown obstacles even under poor communication conditions such as time-delay and black-out. Especially, the proposed system includes a tele-manipulation interface and stable navigation strategies. First, we propose a new type of path estimation method to overcome limited communication. Second, we establish navigation strategies when the operator cannot recognize obstacles based on Dynamic Window Approach. The effectiveness of the proposed developments is verified through simulation and experiments, which demonstrate suitable system for driving a vehicle in disaster response.

ETRI's Co-Pilot project is aimed at the development of an automated vehicle that cooperates with a driver and interacts with other vehicles on the road while obeying traffic rules without collisions. This paper presents a core block within the Co-Pilot system; the block is named "Co-Pilot agent" and consists of several main modules, such as road map generation, decision-making, and trajectory generation. The road map generation builds road map data to provide enhanced and detailed map data. The decision-making, designed to serve situation assessment and behavior planning, evaluates a collision risk of traffic situations and determines maneuvers to follow a global path as well as to avoid collisions. The trajectory generation generates a trajectory to achieve the given maneuver by the decision-making module. The system is implemented in an open-source robot operating system to provide a reusable, hardware-independent software platform; it is then tested on a closed road with other vehicles in several scenarios similar to real road environments to verify that it works properly for cooperative driving with a driver and automated driving.

In mobile robotics, ultrasonic sensors became standard devices for collision avoiding. Moreover, their applicability for map building and navigation has exploited in recent years. In this paper, as the preliminary step for developing a multi-purpose autonomous carrier mobile robot to transport trolleys or heavy goods and serve as robotic nursing assistant in hospital wards. The aim of this paper is to present the use of multi-sensor data fusion such as ultrasonic sensor, IR sensor for mobile robot to navigate, and presents an experimental mobile robot designed to operate autonomously within both indoor and outdoor environments. The global map building based on multi-sensor data fusion is applied for recognition an obstacle free path from a starting position to a known goal region, and simultaneously build a map of straight line segment geometric primitives based on the application of the Hough transform from the actual and noisy sonar data. We will give an explanation for the robot system architecture designed and implemented in this study and a short review of existing techniques, Hough transform, since there exist several recent thorough books and review paper on this paper. Experimental results with a real Pioneer DX2 mobile robot will demonstrate the effectiveness of the discussed methods.

The aim of this study is to develop guidelines for predicting interference between drones and wakes during non-destructive blade inspections in wind power systems. The wake generated by wind towers and blades can affect the stability of drone flights, necessitating the establishment of guidelines to ensure safe and efficient inspections. In order to predict the interference between drones and blades, environmental variables must be considered, including quantification of turbulence intensity in the wake generated by the tower and blades, as well as determining the appropriate distance between the drone and the tower/blades for flight stability. To achieve this, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed using cross-sectional geometries corresponding to the main wind turbine blade and tower span locations. Based on the CFD analysis results, a safe flight path for drones is proposed, which minimizes the risk of collision and interference with towers and blades during maintenance operations of wind power systems. Implementation of the proposed guidelines is expected to enhance the safety and efficiency of maintenance work.

구름과 에어로졸의 상호 작용은 기후 시스템에서 중요한 강제력 메커니즘 중 하나로 알려져 있지만, 에어로졸 변화가 구름의 양과 수명에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 서로 일치하지 않는 연구결과를 보이고 있다. 더구나 구름과 강수에 대한 에어로졸 효과는 기상요인으로부터 발생하는 효과와 쉽게 분리되지 않는다. 이 논문에서는 구름두께(H), 액체수함량(Liquid water path, LWP)과 같은 구름 거시물리 인자들이 강수에 미치는 영향을 최소화한 상태에서, 에어로졸 농도 변화가 강수변화에 미치는 영향을 기술하는, 강수민감도($S_o$)에 대한 연구를 살펴보았다. 구름 두께가 얇거나 구름이 포함하고 있는 액체수함량이 작을 경우 에어로졸 농도가 증가하여도 강수율에는 변화가 없었다. 그러나 구름 두께나 액체수함량이 중간 정도인 경우에는 에어로졸 농도가 증가할수록 강수량이 감소한다. 이것은 대기 중에 존재하는 에어로졸이 구름씨앗으로 작용하여 수많은 작은 크기의 구름입자를 생성하여, 강수로 이어지는 충돌 병합과정을 억제하기 때문이다. 구름두께나 액체수함량이 큰 경우에는 대기 중에 이미 충분한 수분이 존재하여, LWP 또는 H가 증가할수록 강수민감도는 감소한다. 이러한 LWP 또는 H 영역에 따른 강수민감도 변화특성은 구름 속에서 작용하는 우세한 구름물리 과정에 따라 다르게 나타난다.

자동화 컨테이너 터미널의 생산성을 향상시키기 위해서는 장치장과 선석 사이를 오가며 컨테이너를 운반하는 무인 유도 차량(Automated Guided Vehicle; AGV)을 효율적으로 운영하여야 한다. 터미널에서 사용되는 AGV는 고정된 경로를 따르지 않고 자유롭게 주행할 수 있다. 이러한 특성을 가진 AGV들을 효율적으로 운영하기 위해서는 복잡하고 정교한 AGV교통 통제 시스템이 요구된다. AGV 주행 경로를 유연하게 설정하면 AGV가 주행하는 거리는 짧아지지만, AGV간의 충돌과 교착을 야기하는 경로간의 겹침과 교차 횟수는 늘어나게 된다. 따라서 모든 AGV의 경로를 사전에 세밀하게 분석하여 완벽하게 교착을 회피하는 방안은 계산 비용 측면에서 실시간에 적용하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 빈번히 발생하는 두 AGV간의 충돌과 교착은 사전에 예측하여 회피하고, 셋 이상의 AGV간의 교착은 발생 후에 이를 감지하여 해결하는 방안을 제안한다. 본 제안 방안은 계산 비용이 적어 실시간 적용이 용이하다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 본 제안 방안의 효율성과 효용성을 검증하였다.

차량간 통신은 노변기지국(RSE)을 통하지 않고 차량탑재장치(OBE)간에 정보를 전달하는 기술로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 차량간 통신네트워크는 차량의 높은 이동 속도로 인하여 토폴로지의 변화가 심하기 때문에 기존 애드혹 라우팅을 적용하기 어렵다. MMFP(Multi-hop MAC Forwarding)는 경로설정 과정과 위치정보를 사용하지 않고 목적지 노드의 도달 가능 정보를 사용하여 패킷을 전송하는 멀티 홉 유니 캐스트 포워팅 프로토콜이다. 그러나 공공 안전 서비스에서 차량간 통신을 통해 제공 될 수 있는 차량 충돌, 장애물, 안개 등에 대한 정보는 특정 운전자가 아닌 다수의 운전자에게 유용한 정보이기 때문에 유니캐스트보다 브로드캐스트로 전달하는 것이 효율적이다. 플러딩은 가장 단순한 형태의 멀티 홉 브로드 캐스트 방식으로 너무 많은 중복 패킷을 생성하여 패킷성공률 감소, 전송 지연 증가 등의 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 MMFP를 확장하여 차량간 통신 환경에서 멀티 홉 브로드캐스트 통신을 지원하는 두 가지 프로토콜을 제안한다. UMHB(Unreliable Multi-Hop Broadcast)는 일부 노드에게만 포워딩 의무를 부여하는 MMFP의 전송 방식을 기반으로 포워딩 노드의 수를 제한함으로써 플러딩의 중복 패킷 문제를 해결하나 신뢰성이 감소하는 문제가 있다. RMHB(Reliable Multi-Hop Broadcast)는 화인 응답과 재전송을 통해 UMHB의 비신뢰성 문제를 해결하나 전송 지연이 다소 증가한다. 그러나 RMHB의 지연 시간 증가는 충돌 방지 응용에는 문제가 되지 않음을 실험 결과를 분석하여 보인다.
