The technique of localization is the core technology for information exchange or environment monitering to measure the position of an object or person. Today, the techniques of localization have been studied extensively and it can be applied to logistics, medical, robotics, etc. But, a lot of money to apply technique of localization is needed. Hence in this paper, we proposed AoA localization system based on Zigbee at low cost. The System measured the RSSI value by rotating the directional antenna using a step motor and Zigbee module. When the measured RSSI is the largest, the receiver measures the angles from beacons which are located at the corners with the rotating angle of a stepping motor and the position of the receiver will be calculated by appling AoA localization method. The measured results show an error about 35~36 cm.

The present paper studies how to calibrate hydrometer using image process. The method aligns particular scales of hydrometer selected for calibrating the hydrometer with the horizontal plane of the reference liquid automatically without man's operation. Major parts composing the system are CCD camera, frame grabber, stepping motor and image process program. The image process program is composed of a part that locates the meniscus and aligns it with a scale and a part that controls the step motor. To verify the performance of the developed method, this study compares the meniscus and scale observed directly with the naked eye with the result of calibration by the manual calibration method. The differences between the corrections were less than $0.004\;kg/m^3$ with uncertainty of $0.06\;kg/m^3$. These showed that the calibration results of the developed hydrometer calibration using image process nearly equal to manual method.

Solar energy has its advantages not to be interruped by anything, which is wing to not only limitlessness in its source but shortness in its wave. Availing of tha advantages, we can look forword to vast allication. This study whose aim is to raise the effectuality of it by means of chasing the source correctly, which is to be acheved by the circularty of sensor. The consequence has been gained by two sensors is amplified and transfered to TTL leveland becomes "INPUT DATA" of INTE 8080CPU. The INTEL 8080CPU whose system is machinated to give cotrol pulse to moter driving circuit has the source and the sensors placed correctly on the basis of the data. DC motor taskes the advantage not to be in need of UP/DOWN counter, which is defferent from stepping motor. The system is composed of light detector, A/C converter, INPUT Interface, INTEL 8080 CPU, OUTPUT Interface, notor driving circiut. We can give correct chase to light experimentally as far as an error is the space of 1.2.ce of 1.2.

In this paper, the speed control problem of moving camera is investigated for tracking the movement of the human-face. The camera system with pan-tilt mechanism sends an image to PC and PC sends back tracking coordinate to the camera. Then the camera tracks a human face in real time. The speed of the stepping motors for moving the camera must be controlled to the target region fast enough and smoothly, In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller is proposed for driving step motors. By creating driving acceleration and deceleration speed Profile, the speed of the motors is controled fast and smoothly. Experiments are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a self-propulsive and small concrete floor finishing trowel robot with twin trowels is proposed. Due to the small size and omni-directional moving capability, it is adequate for small space such as apartment. By adjusting the posture of trowels, it can move in any direction without wheels. We used cheap PIC processor for the cost saving design of the modules and adopted mode processors for easy operation of control stick. For the position control of the robot, we made a motion control algorithm appealing to the stepping motor driver module and the wireless communication module between the robot and PC (or control stick). In this paper, we discuss the control problem of the floor finishing robot in order to move to the right position. By comparing experimental result with simulation, we show the validity of the robot mechanism, sensors, and the control system.

The previous exponential experiment system has been improved for the automatical and accurate axial movement of the neutron source and detector with attaching the automatical control system which consists of a Programmable Logical Controller(PLC) and a stepping motor set. The automatic control program which controls MCA and PLC consistently has been also developed on the basis of GENIE 2000 Library. The exponential experiments have been carried out for Kori 1 unit spent fuel assemblies, Cl4, Jl4 and G23, and Kori 2 unit spent fuel assembly, J44, using the improved systematical measurement system. As the results, the average exponential decay constants for 4 assemblies are determined to be 0.1302, 0.1267, 0.1247, and 0.1210, respectively, with the application of Poisson regression.

본 연구의 목적은 보통 보행과 장애물 보행 시작시에 accuracy constraints, 즉 발꿈치 닿기(swing limb heel-strike)의 정확도가 힘판(forceplate) 상에서 힘의 조절 (force modulation)과 EMG에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하는 것이다. 본 실험의 대상자는 힘판(forceplate)위에서 보통 보행과 장애물 보행을 하되, 대상자 앞에 놓인 표적(target)에 정확히 발꿈치 닫기 (heel-strike)를 하도록 유도되었다. 이 때 힘판 자료와 전경골근(tibialis anterior)및 가자미근 (soleus)의 근전도 (EMG)의 활동을 양쪽 다리에서 측정하였다. 대상자 앞에 놓인 표적 (target)에 정확한 발꿈치 닫기(heel-strike)가 요구되었을 때에는 발끝밀기(swing toe-off) 시간이 증가되었으며 힘판(forceplate)상에서의 peak farce와 slope to peak force 가 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 전경골근 (tibialis anterior)의 활동역시 큰 차이로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 보통 보행과 장애물 보행시의 근전도 혹은 힘판상의 자료에는 큰 차이점이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 기존의 상지(upper extremity)에서 보여준 운동제어 (motor control)의 이론들이 하지(lower extremity)에서도 동일하게 적용될 수 있음을 보여주는 것이다.

The rotorbody and rotor winding of generator are isolated by an insulator and the output characteristic of the generator is maintained in the best states. Only when an insulation resistance between them is over a certain extent. The aim of this research is to develop the simulator for rotor earth fault detection circuits. It is composed of the power resource which is to control the virtual field voltage, stepping motor which is to give virtual ground. It is possible to inspect with the device and program developed in this study in the same as real operating condition and evaluate the integrity of generator rotor through the function of data acquisition and graphic output. If these technologies will be applied to the inspection, prevent a damage of the generator and contribute to improve maintenance reliance.

Existing long range piezoelectric motors with friction based transmission mechanisms are limited by the axial load capacity. To overcome this problem, a new linear piezoelectric motor using one piezoelectric actuator combined with a novel stepping mechanism is reported in this paper. To obtain both long range and fine accuracy, dual positioning control strategy consisting of coarse positioning and fine positioning is used. Coarse positioning is used for long travel range by accumulating motion steps obtained by piezoelectric actuator. This is followed by fine positioning where required accuracy is obtained by fine motion displacement of piezoelectric actuator. This prototype is able to provide resolution of 20 nanometers and withstand a maximum axial load of 300N. At maximum load condition, the positioner can move forward to a travel distance of 5mm at a maximum speed of 0.4 mm/sec. This design of nanopositioner can be used in applications for ultra precision positioning and grinding operations where high axial force capacity is required.
