This paper describes a new method for 3D object recognition which used surface segment-based stereo vision. The position and orientation of an objects is identified accurately enabling a robot to pick up, even though the objects are multiple and partially occluded. The stereo vision is used to get the 3D information as 3D sensing, and CAD model with its post processing is used for building models. Matching is initially performed using the model and object features, and calculate roughly the object's position and orientation. Though the fine adjustment step, the accuracy of the position and orientation are improved.

In this paper we present a novel robotic palpation method for the lump shape estimation using contact pressure distribution. Many previous researches about the robotic palpation have used a stiffness map, which is not suitable to obtain geometrical information of a lump. As a result, they require a large data set and long palpation time to estimate the lump shape. Instead of using the stiffness map, the proposed palpation method uses the difference between the normal force direction and the surface normal to detect the lump boundary and estimate its normal. The palpation trajectory is generated by the normal of the lump boundary to track the lump boundary in real-time. The proposed approach requires small data set and short palpation time for the lump shape estimation since the shape can be directly estimated from the optimally generated palpation trajectory. An experiment result shows that our method can find the lump shape accurately in real-time with small data and short time.

본 연구는 웰빙 환경 조성에 적합한 습도센서, 온도센서와 기류센서를 이용한 쾌적도 측정시스템에 관한 것이다. 이 측정시스템이 나타내는 쾌적도는 기류와 온도에 민감하게 나타났다. 시스템을 위한 온도와 습도 일체형 센서와 기류센서를 설계 및 제작하고, 마이크로 컨트롤러에서 센서 신호를 측정하여 ISO7730에서 나타내는 예상온열 감지수(PMV)와 쾌적감 지수(CSV)를 계산하고, 각각의 계산 값을 LCD에 표시하도록 하였다. 인위의 환경에서 실험한 결과, 본 시스템이 공기조화시스템, 자동차 기류조정시스템, 가정과 사무실 병원 등의 많은 분야에 적용이 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Because the current web search engine estimates the similarity of documents, using the frequency of words, many documents irrespective of the user query are provided. To solve these kinds of problems, the semantic web is appearing as a future web. It is possible to provide the service based on the semantic web through ontology which specifies the knowledge in a special domain and defines the concepts of knowledge and the relationships between concepts. In this paper to search the information of potential customers for home-delivery marketing, we model the specific domain for generating the ontology. And we research how to retrieve the information, using the ontology. Therefore, in this paper, we generate the ontology to define the domain about potential customers and develop the search robot which collects the information of customers.

There has been requested to automate the welding process in shipyard due to its dependence on skilled operators and the inferior working environments. According to these demands, multiple robot welding system for sub-assembly welding line has been developed, realized and installed at Keoje shipyard. In order to realize automatic welding system, robots have to be equipped with a sensing system to recognize the position of the welding panels. In this research, a camera vision system(CVS) is developed to detect the position of base panels for sub-assembly line in shipbuilding. Two camera vision systems are used in two different stages (fitting and welding) to automate the recognition and positioning of welding lines. For automatic recognition of panel position, various image processing algorithms are proposed in this paper.

To facilitate the cell based robot research, we presented a micro-mechanical force measurement system for the biological muscle actuators, which utilize glucose as a power source for potential application in a human body or blood vessels. The system is composed of a micro-manipulator, a force transducer with a glass probe, a signal processor, an inverted microscope and video recoding system. Using this measurement system, the contractile force and frequency of the cardiac myocytes were measured in real time and the magnitude of the contractile force of each cardiac myocyte on a different condition was compared. From the quantitative experimental results, we estimated that the force of cardiac myocytes is about $20{\sim}40\;{\mu}$N, and showed that there is difference between the control cells and the micro-patterned cells.

In this study, we propose an optimal design and new fabrication method for a slim tactile sensor. Slim tactile sensor can detect 3-axial forces and has suitable flexibility for intelligent robot fingers. To amplify the contact signal, a unique table-shaped structure was attempted. A new layer-by-layer fabrication process for polymer micromachining that can make a 3D structure by using a sacrificial layer was proposed. A table-shaped epoxy sensing plate with four legs was built on top of a flexible polymer substrate. The plate can convert an applied force to a concentrated stress. Normal and shear forces can be detected by combining responses from metal strain gauges embedded in the polymer substrate. The optimal positions of the strain gauges are determined using the strain distribution obtained from finite element analysis.

This paper describes a motored wheelchair that is suitable for disabled persons. A distinguish feature of our wheelchair is that a closed link mechanism is introduced. This link module changes conventional motored wheelchairs to computer controlled ones. It means that using intelligent functions of the computer, conventional motored wheelchairs can be navigated like an intelligent robot. Three examples of intelligent navigation functions are demonstrated. The first one is a motored wheelchair controlled by the head movement of the operator. The second one is a motored wheelchair with the image processing. Last one is a motored wheelchair with the remote sensing function.

In this paper, we present an arrayed flexible tactile sensor, which can detect contact normal forces as well as positions. The tactile sensor is developed using Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) that is known as piezoelectric polymer, and the surface electrode is fabricated using silk-screening technique with silver. We develop a charge amplifier in order to amplify the small signal from the sensor, and a fast signal processing unit by using a DSP chip. The developed tactile sensor is physically flexible and it can be deformed three-dimensionally to any shape so that it can be placed on anywhere on the curved surface. In the future, the developed sensor is applied to a dexterous robotic hand...$\textbullet$ Tactile sensing, PVDF, Robot hand

A new method to control a robot manipulator by neural networks is proposed. The controller is composed of both a PD controller and a neural network-based feedforward controller. MLP(multi-layer perceptron) neural network is used for the feedforward controller and trained by BP(back-propagation) learning rule. Error terms for BP learning rule are composed of the outputs of a PD controller and the acceleration errors of manipulator joints. We compare the proposed method with existing ones and contrast performances of them by simulation. Also, We discuss the real application of the proposed method in consideration of the learning time of the neural network and the time required for sensing the joint acceleration.
