This paper describes the development of a robotic maintenance system for use in a maintenance operation of the nozzle dam in a water chamber of a steam generator at the Kori nuclear power plant in Korea. The robotic maintenance system was designed to minimize the personnel exposure to a hazardous radioactive environment. This robotic maintenance system is operated by a teleoperated control which was designed to perform the nozzle dam maintenance tasks in a remote manner without endangering the human workers. Specific maintenance tasks involve the transportation, insertion, and removal of nozzle dams in a water chamber inside a steam generator via a narrow man-way entrance port. The developed robotic maintenance system has two major subsystems: a two degrees of freedom guiding device acting as the main guiding arm and a master-slave manipulator with a kinematic dissimilarity. The mechanical design considerations, control system, and capabilities of the robotic maintenance system are presented. Finally, a graphical representation of the nozzle dam maintenance processes in a simulated work environment are also demonstrated.

The Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Process (ACP), which is a pre-disposal treatment process for spent fuel is being developed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The ACP equipment is operated in an intense radiation field as well as in a high temperature. Thus, the equipment is designed in consideration of the remote handling and maintenance. This paper describes a Bridge Transported Bilateral Force-Reflecting Servo-Manipulator (BTSM) system, which is being developed to overcome the limitation of access that is a drawback of the mechanical Master-Slave Manipulators (MSMs), which are mounted on the ACP hot cell wall for the operation and the maintenance of the ACP equipment. The BTSM system was manufactured and temporally installed at the mockup to test its performance. The manufactured BTSM system will be installed at the ACP hot cell on June 2005 after the accomplishment of the performance test. The BTSM system consists of four components: a transporter with a telescoping tubeset, a slave manipulator, a master manipulator, and a remote control system. This system will highly increase the volume of coverage for the operation and maintenance of the ACP equipment.

Nowadays, increasing demand of the customized products has led to an increased usage of rapid prototyping in the product development. However, the acquisition price of a rapid prototyping equipment is still too high that not every body can afford to buy one. To offer a wide access to the users who need physical prototypes, a connection of the rapid prototyping equipment to the Internet is a viable step. It would allow a large group of customers all over the world to use the manufacturing capability of a service provider offering this kind of manufacturing service. To realize how such an e-manufacturing concept can look like, a LOM-type 3D printer developed at KIST has been used as test site and connected to the Internet. A possible user can log on to the server of the equipment and view his STL file and start the building operation from a remote place. To see whether the operation runs properly, a CCD camera is used to transmit the actual state of operation online. The result so far proves the feasibility of rapid prototyping on the Internet as well as an order-adaptive manufacturing system via web.

A combination steering system was designed to provide the flexibility in controlling the steering wheel in fishing operations of the inshore and coastal fishing vessels. The designed steering system basically is consisted of three driving units, such as a electrically driven hydraulic pump unit with a solenoid control valve, a DC motor driven hydraulic pump unit and a manually driven hydraulic pump unit, and two controllers to provide remote steering on the deck, respectively. The steering torque was measured and analyzed to investigate the dynamic performance of the developed steering system. The steering system showed excellent linearity between the working pressure of cylinder and the torque of rudder post in case of increasing in rudder angle from $5^{\circ} to 35^{\circ}$ that is, the steering torque increased from $10.4 kgf{\cdot}m$ to $105.3 kgf{\cdot}m$ and then the working pressure of cylinder fluctuated from 6.3 kgf/cm super(2) to 16.4 kgf/cm super(2). The steering time of 3.2 sec in remote hydraulic steering by the on/off solenoid valve control was much faster than 13.2 sec in the manual steering by the helmsman and 11.6 sec in the electric steering by a DC motor, and then it was verified that operation of one unit does not affect other units in combination steering system in any way. Furthermore, the developed steering system can be remotely controlled in multiple stations of the deck during the fishing operation and the automatic pilot steering unit can be used to add hydraulic steering.

본 연구는 방대한 크기 원격 탐사 영상 자료의 효율적인 분석을 위한 RAG (Region Adjancency Graph) 기반 영상 분할 기법을 제안하고 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 계산의 효율성을 위하여 CN-chain 연결과 저장 기억의 효율성을 위하여 sliding 다중 창을 사용한다. RAG에 의한 지역 합병은 최선의 결합을 위한 edge을 발견과 합병에 따른 graph의 갱신의 과정이다. CN-chain 연결법은 가장 유사한 인접 지역의 연결을 형성하면서 최선의 edge를 발견하여 합병을 해 나가는 과정으로 영상 자료 크기의 증가에 따라 단지 증가 배수만큼만 분석 시간을 증가시킨다. 합병에 의해 변하는 RAG의 효율적인 갱신을 위하여 RNV(Regional Neighbor Vector)를 사용하였다. 방대한 크기 자료 분석은 막대한 기억 용량의 시스템을 필요로 한다. 제안된 수평적인 구조의 sliding 다중 창 작업은 필요한 기억 용량을 현저히 감소시켜 가능한 분석 자료의 크기를 증대시켰을 뿐 아니라 계산 시간의 감소를 초래하였다. 본 연구는 simulation 자료를 사용하여 광범위하게 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 실험하였으며 실험 결과는 알고리즘의 효율성을 입증하였다.

Forest operations like timber harvesting have already been mechanized to reduce hazards to the worker and increase productivity. However, timber harvesting operations have still been considered potentially dangerous and expensive on steep terrain. Teleoperation, to control the timber harvesting machine at a distance, has the potential to improve the safety, productivity and efficiency of harvesting operations on steep terrain. To verify the effects of teleoperation, an experimental prototype system of a monitor image-based teleoperation was constructed using a real forestry machine. In this study, the productivity of excavator based grapple loader, which is one of the most used mechanized harvesting equipment in the timber production, was analyzed using time-study method. Factors like skill and age of operators, influencing loader productivity in timber loading operation were also evaluated by statistical analysis. Productivity analysis results showed that less experienced operators were more productive than experienced operators for teleoperation through image of monitors in the operator cabin. These results are shown to be unfamiliar to the monitor image and different loading operation pattern by operators. According to the results, the monitor image-based teleoperation system of forestry machine need to improve the resolution and installation position of camera. It was expected that additional studies will be needed for real-time remote control of forestry machine in the future.

레벨계는 비침습적으로 매질의 레벨을 측정 할 수 있어 산업계에서 안전과 유지보수와 연관되어 점점 다양한 종류의 레벨계가 사용되고 있는 추세이다. 레벨계는 석탄, 밀가루, 쌀 등의 고체 매질과 물, 석유 등의 액체매질과 같은 여러 종류의 매질에 따라 측정이 가능하며 매질에 따른 오차를 줄이기 위해 도플러 효과를 이용한 계측으로 측정 오차를 보완 할 수 있으나, 신호처리 단계가 더 많아져 연산속도가 더 필요하게 되고 하드웨어 복잡도가 증가하며 고비용 구조가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 원격 측정 레벨계의 신호처리 연산구조를 개선 하는 방법을 제안하여 연산량을 줄이고 요구되는 FPGA의 리소스 사용량을 줄일 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.
