본 논문에서는 가정용 로봇 및 서비스 로봇과 같은 이동로봇에서 사용자의 감정을 인식하는 방법중 한가지인 얼굴영상을 이용한 감정인식 방법을 제안한다. 얼굴영상인식을 위하여 얼굴의 여러 가지 특징(눈썹, 눈, 코, 입)의 움직임 및 위치를 이용하며, 이동로봇에서 움직이는 사용자를 인식하기 위한 움직임 추적 알고리즘을 구현하고, 획득된 사용자의 영상에서 얼굴영역 검출 알고리즘을 사용하여 얼굴 영역을 제외한 손과 배경 영상의 피부색은 제거한다. 검출된 얼굴영역의 거리에 따른 영상 확대 및 축소, 얼굴 각도에 따른 영상 회전변환 등의 정규화 작업을 거친 후 이동 로봇에서는 항상 고정된 크기의 얼굴 영상을 획득 할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 기존의 특징점 추출이나 히스토그램을 이용한 감정인식 방법을 혼합하여 인간의 감성 인식 시스템을 모방한 로봇에서의 감정인식을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 다중 특징점 추출 방식을 통하여 이동로봇에서의 얼굴 영상을 이용한 사용자의 감정인식 시스템을 제안한다.

Direct teaching of the industrial robot is a novel technique to easily teach manipulators. However, teaching data by human hand cannot help having large noise errors ranging from low to high frequency. To use teaching data, post-processing to correct the teaching trajectory is required. Here, a novel shape-based trajectory correction method to rebuild teaching data with the feature information of curvature and velocity is proposed. The proposed method is tested on square and circular objects.

This paper presents the polygon-based Q-leaning and Parallel SVM algorithm for object search with multiple robots. We organized an experimental environment with one hundred mobile robots, two hundred obstacles, and ten objects. Then we sent the robots to a hallway, where some obstacles were lying about, to search for a hidden object. In experiment, we used four different control methods: a random search, a fusion model with Distance-based action making (DBAM) and Area-based action making (ABAM) process to determine the next action of the robots, and hexagon-based Q-learning, and dodecagon-based Q-learning and parallel SVM algorithm to enhance the fusion model with Distance-based action making (DBAM) and Area-based action making (ABAM) process. In this paper, the result show that dodecagon-based Q-learning and parallel SVM algorithm is better than the other algorithm to tracking for object.

This paper presents a new approach to the design of neural control system using digital signal processors in order to improve the precision and robustness. Robotic manipulators have become increasingly important in the field of flexible automation. High speed and high-precision trajectory tracking are indispensable capabilities for their versatile application. The need to meet demanding control requirement in increasingly complex dynamical control systems under significant uncertainties, leads toward design of intelligent manipulation robots. The TMS320C31 is used in implementing real time neural control to provide an enhanced motion control for robotic manipulators. In this control scheme, the networks introduced are neural nets with dynamic neurons, whose dynamics are distributed over all the network nodes.

A proposed fuzzy-sliding mode controller in this paper shows that it can reduce amount of chattering inherent to sliding mode control and it is robust against parameter uncertainties. Sliding mode control is one of the control method for nonlinear systems. It can provide good transient performance and system robustness for nonlinear system. But chattering is a serious problem of the sliding mode control. The chattering is caused by steady/state error or uncertainties of the system. There are three kinds of method that can remove chattering. First, steady-state error can be removed by adding PI controller to the system. Second, putting dead-zone in sliding surface can be insensitive uncertainties ...

This paper present the idea that the inner loop regulator inside the servo can be enhanced its performance by replace the conventional control with a fuzzy proportional derivative control. In this paper, we replace an inner loop regulator of a Futaba servomotor with a fuzzy PD control paradigm. We then test the proposed system and compare the result with the original scheme. The fuzzy control used here is based on the supervisory scheme of the conventional PD yet embedded a fuzzy decision for the final control action. The proposed control scheme for the servomotor has shown robustness and effective performance in handle input disturbance along with its tracking ability. Moreover, when we embedded the new implemented on a real six-legged insect robot designed by the authors, we found that the control system for this application under the ...

This paper describes a new data-handing, based on a Spatial Human Interface as human indicator, to the Spatial-Knowledge-Tags (SKT) in the spatial memory the Spatial Human Interface (SHI) is a new system that enables us to facilitate human activity in a working environment. The SHI stores human activity data as knowledge and activity history of human into the Spatial Memory in a working environment as three-dimensional space where one acts, and loads them with the Spatial-Knowledge-Tags(SKT) by supporting the enhancement of human activity. To realize this, the purpose of SHI is to construct new relationship among human and distributed networks computers and sensors that is based on intuitive and simultaneous interactions. In this paper, the specified functions of SKT and the realization method of SKT are explained. The utility of SKT is demonstrated in designing a robot motion control.

홈네트워크 시스템의 본격적인 보급과 함께 가정용서비스 로봇의 최근 연구 성과들은 인간과 지능로봇이 가정에 공존하며 서로 의사소통을 할 수 있는 시대가 가까운 미래에 현실화 될 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 그러나 가정의 환경적인 특징은 open되어 있기 때문에 그러한 환경에 적응하고 주어진 임무를 수행하는 데는 단일 로봇 또는 단일 홈서버 보다는 로봇을 포함하는 홈네트워크 시스템 내의 여러 장치들이 어울려 분산처리를 수행하는 multi-agent 시스템이 일반적으로 더 좋다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 홈네트워크 시스템 환경에서 가정에서 필요한 agent들을 정의하기 위한 framework 모델을 구축하고 각 agent 간의 통신 protocol architecture를 제시한다. 또한 로봇 또는 홈서버의 단일 지능이나 기능보다는 그 안에 존재하는 복수개의 agent instance들의 집합으로 agent를 정의하고 각 agent 내외에서 agent들 사이의 협력(cooperation)과 (타협)negotiation을 통해 환경과 적응하는 방법 및 사람과 교감(interactive)하는 방법을 제시한다.

최근 가정용 로봇 연구가 활발히 진행됨에 따라, 가정과 같은 다이내믹한 환경에서 로봇이 목소리를 포함한 음원에 반응하고 그 위치를 정확히 찾아가는 것이 매우 중요해지고 있다. 인간이 목표물에 도달하기 위해 경로를 선택할 때, 그 목표물이 소리인 경우는 현재 위치에서 음원의 방향을 추적한다. 또한 그 목표물의 위치가 지도로 주워질 경우에는 현재 위치와 목표불의 절대적 방위를 기준으로 추적한다. 본 논문에서는 이처럼 사람이 다른 사람의 목소리를 듣고 반응하거나 어떤 방향으로 가고자할 때 소리가 나는 방향이나 지도를 통해 대략 자신만의 방위를 만드는 것에 착안하여, 지능형 모바일 로봇에 음원추적 장치와 전자나침반을 장착함으로써 음원의 방향 또는 절대 방위를 기준으로 목표물을 찾아가는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다.

Soft fluidic actuators (SFAs) are widely utilized in various areas such as wearable systems due to the inherent compliance which allows safe and flexible interaction. However, SFA-driven systems generally require a large pump, multiple valves and tubes, which hinders to develop a miniaturized system with small range of motion. Thus, a highly integrated soft actuator needs to be developed for implementing a compact SFA-driven system. In this study, we propose an electro-hydraulic soft zipping actuator that can be used as a miniature pump. This actuator exerts tactile force as a dielectric liquid contained inside the actuator pressurized its deformable part. In addition, the proposed actuator can estimate the internal dielectric liquid thickness by using its self-sensing function. Besides, the electrical characteristics and driving performance of the proposed system were verified through experiments.
