Laser welding application for car body manufacturing has many advantages in the stiffness and the lightness of vehicle, the productivity of assembly line, and the degree of freedom in design. This presentation will express the innovation of car body manufacturing including parameter optimization, process modeling, and system integration. In this application the investment for systems was cut down dramatically by real time switching over the laser path between two welding stations. Points of technical discussion are as follows: optimization of parameters such as laser power, robot speed and trajectory, compact and useful design of jig & fixture to assure welding quality for 3 sheet-layer zinc-coated steel, system integration between 4kW Nd:YAG laser device and the other systems, on-line real time welding quality monitoring system, perfect safety standards for high power laser, minimization of consumption costs such as arc lamp, protective glass for optic, etc. Laser welding has found a place on Hyundai's production plant in conjunction with the startup of mass production of new sports car, and this production system is the result of a collaboration of its engineers. Outer side sheets are joined to inner side sheets by 122 stitch welds totally. And the length is about 2.4meter.

Any given object on the motor-driven turntable is pictured from 8 to 72 different views with a digital camera. 3D shape reconstruction is performed with the integrated software called by Scanware from these multiple digital photographs. There are several steps such as configuration, calibration, capturing, segmentation, shape creation, texturing and merging process during the shape reconstruction process. 3D geometry data can be exported to cad data such as Autocad input file. Also 3D image model is generated from 3D geometry and texture data, and is used to advertise the model in the internet environment. Consumers can see the object realistically from wanted views by rotating or zooming in the internet browsers with Scanbull spx plug-in. The spx format allows a compact saving of 3D objects to handle or download. There are many types of scan equipments such as laser scanners and photogrammetric scanners. Line or point scan methods by laser can generate precise 3D geometry but cannot obtain color textures in general. Reversely, 3D image modeling with photogrammetry can generate not only geometries but also textures from associated polygons. We got various 3D image models and introduced the process of getting 3D image model of an internet-connected watchdog robot.

There are many types of speed reducer for industrial uses. However the cycloid speed reducer is widely used in manipulators based on excellent performance of low backlash, high reduction ratio and compact size. It is essential to use precision speed reducer for accuracy of position controls on robot systems and electric vehicles. The cycloid speed reducer has a eccentric rotating motion and offset to avoid some problem of assembly, so it has a disadvantage for vibration. In this paper, a multi-body dynamic model is developed for a cycloid speed reducer and the dynamic behaviors of the reducer are investigated. The cycloid speed reducer consists of cycloidal plate gears, housing gear, input shaft, output pin and shaft, and eccentric bearings. Using a CAD program, each component of cycloid reducer is modeled based on the offset and eccentric. Multi-body simulations using Recurdyn and test using a rig tester are performed. As a result, the pin reaction force and the amplitude of housing displacement are increased by the larger offset and smaller eccentric value of cycloid reducer.

깊이 추정은 로봇 비전, 3차원 영상, 모션 제어를 위해 사용되는 매우 중요한 인자이다. 깊이 추정은 렌즈와 물체 사이의 거리를 변화시켜가면서 취득된 일련의 영상에서 계산된 초점 정보에 기반을 둔다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 초점정보를 이용한 패턴간의 상대적 깊이 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 거리별로 취득된 영상의 초점값 정보를 이용하여 구현하였으며, 깊이는 두 패턴의 상대적 거리를 고려함으로써 추정하였다. 다양한 영상정보를 이용하여 깊이 추정을 수행한 결과 효과적인 추정이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

A path planning using potential field method is very useful for the real-time navigation of mobile robots. However, the method needs high modeling cost to calculate the potential field because of complex preprocessing, and mobile robots may get stuck into local minima. In this paper, An efficient path planning algorithm for multiple mobile robots, based on the potential field method, was proposed. In the algorithm. the concepts of subgoals and obstacle priority were introduced. The subgoals can be used to escape local minima, or to design and change the paths of mobile robots in the work space. In obstacle priority, all the objects (obstacles and mobile robots) in the work space have their own priorities, and the object having lower priority should avoid the objects having higher priority than it has. In this paper, first, potential based path planning method was introduced, next an efficient collision-avoidance algorithm for multiple mobile robots, moving in the obstacle environment, was proposed by using subgoals and obstacle priority. Finally, the developed algorithm was demonstrated graphically to show the usefulness of the algorithm.

With a remarkable advance in CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor) process technology, a variety of vision sensors with signal processing circuits for complicated functions are actively being developed. Especially, as the principles of signal processing in human retina have been revealed, a series of vision chips imitating human retina have been reported. Human retina is able to detect the edge and motion of an object effectively. The edge detection among the several functions of the retina is accomplished by the cells called photoreceptor, horizontal cell and bipolar cell. We designed a CMOS vision chip by modeling cells of the retina as hardwares involved in edge and motion detection. The designed vision chip was fabricated using $0.6{\mu}m$ CMOS process and the characteristics were measured. Having reliable output characteristics, this chip can be used at the input stage for many applications, like targe tracking system, fingerprint recognition system, human-friendly robot system and etc.

최근 로봇에 관한 연구가 꾸진히 진행 중인 가운데, 로봇이 현재 상황을 파악하고 적절한 서비스를 제공해 주기 위하여 위치 정보가 많이 활용되고 있다. 이러한 위치 정보는 월드 모델링(world modeling)을 통하여 로봇이 처한 환경에서 사용자(nomadic human)의 위치 경로와 공간에 구성되어 있는 객체들의 위치를 비교하거나 관계를 탐지하고 적절한 규칙을 사용해 추론함으로써 사용자의 서비스 요청을 수행하기 위해 쓰일 수 있다. 본 논문은 로봇 환경에서의 상황인지를 위한 월드 모델링을 제안한다. 제안된 월드 모델링은 로봇과 사람과의 관계와 사랑과 사물(object)간의 관계를 정의하며 시간의 흐름에 따른 위치변화를 이용하여 각 대상간의 관계의 변화와 그에 따른 의미(semantic) 도출을 목적으로 한다. 본 시스템은 크게 네 개의 계층으로 구성되어 있다. 첫째, 센서 계층(Sensor layer)은 센서로부터 객체의 위치정보를 얻어내어 센서 데이터를 구성한다. 둘째, 질적 관계 계층(qualitative layer)은 센서 데이터를 기반으로 하여 객체간의 상대적인 위치 관계를 탐지한다. 셋째, 시공간적 관계 계층(relational layer)은 시간에 따라 축적되는 질적 관계 계층의 데이터를 기반으로 하여 객체간의 시간적, 공간적인 위치 관계를 추론한다. 마지막으로 의미적 계층(semantic layer)에서는 객체간의 상황에 맞는 의에를 추론하는데 이런 계층들은 모두 월드 모델을 공유(share)함으로써 정보 도출이 가능하다.

It has been reported that long-term exercise on a treadmill (running machine) may cause injury to the joints in a human's lower extremities. Previous works related to analysis of human walking motion are, however, mostly based on clinical statistics and experimental methodology. This paper proposes an analytical methodology. Specifically, this work deals with a comparison of normal walking on the ground and walking on a treadmill in regard to the external and internal impulses exerted on the joints of a human's lower extremities. First, a modeling procedure of impulses, impulse geometry, and impulse measure for the human lower extremity model will be briefly introduced and a new impulse measure for analysis of internal impulse is developed. Based on these analytical tools, we analyze the external and internal impulses through a planar 7-linked human lower extremity model. It is shown through simulation that the human walking on a treadmill exhibits greater internal impulses on the knee and ankle joints of the supporting leg when compared to that on the ground. In order to corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, a force platform was developed to measure the external impulses exerted on the ground for the cases of the normal walking and walking on the treadmill. It is shown that the experimental results correspond well to the simulation results.
