The acts of biological immune system are similar to the navigation for autonomous mobile robots under dynamically changing environments. In recent years, many researchers have studied navigation algorithms using artificial immune networks. Conventional artificial immune algorithms consist of an obstacle-avoidance behavior and a goal-reaching behavior. To select a proper action, the navigation algorithm should combine the obstacle-avoidance behavior with the goal-reaching behavior. In this paper, the neural network is employed to combine the behaviors. The neural network is trained with the surrounding information. the outputs of the neural network are proper combinational weights of the behaviors in real-time. Also, a velocity control algorithm is constructed with the artificial immune network. Through a simulation study and experimental results for a autonomous mobile robot, we have shown the validity of the proposed navigation algorithm.

We investigated the characteristic of the sensory motor coordination by measuring the hand point ins and the gaze movement to the visual and sound stimulation. Our results showed that the gaze vol ocity to sound stimulation did not depend on stimulation direction, but lagged behind 0.2 sec toward the pheriperal direction to the visual stimulation. Our data showed that to both visual and sound stimulation, the error of hand pointing value increased with an increasement of eccentricity.

In this study, the characteristics of site amplification at seismic observation stations in Japan were estimated using the attenuation relationship of each station's response spectrum. Ground motion records observed after 32 earthquakes were employed to construct the attenuation relationship. The station correction factor at each KiK-net station was compared to the transfer functions between the base rock and the surface. For each station, the plot of the station correction factor versus the period was similar in shape to the graphs of the transfer function (amplitude ratio versus period). Therefore, the station correction factors are effective for evaluating site amplifications considering the period of ground shaking. In addition, the station correction factors were evaluated with respect to the average shear wave velocities using a geographic information system (GIS) dataset. Lastly, the site amplifications for specific periods were estimated throughout Japan.

Instantaneous frequency of doppler signals is used to get the information of the relative velocity and the miss distance between a missile and a corresponding target. In this paper, we have performed time-frequency analysis and instantaneous frequency estimation with Short Time Fourier Transform(STFT), Wigner Ville Distribution(WVD) and Continuous Wavelet Transform(CWT) about the doppler signals generated by moving targets. Performance evaluation was performed using simulated doppler signals generated by a single moving target and two moving targets. From the results of the time-frequency analysis, we found that WVD method was the most efficient instantaneous frequency estimator among the three methods. But in case of two moving targets, WVD method got cross talks and CWT method got oscillation when two doppler frequencies were close to each other.

This paper presents a threat list acquisition method in an engagement area using the support vector machines (SVM). The proposed method consists of track creation, track estimation, track feature extraction, and threat list classification. To classify the threat track robustly, dynamic track estimation and pattern recognition algorithms are used. Dynamic tracks are estimated accurately by approximating a track movement using position, velocity and time. After track estimation, track features are extracted from the track information, and used to classify threat list. Experimental results showed that the threat list acquisition method in the engagement area achieved about 95 % accuracy rate for whole test tracks when using the SVM classifier. In case of improving the real-time process through further studies, it can be expected to apply the fire control systems.

For the poor observability of azimuth misalignment angle and east gyro drift rate of the traditional initial alignment, a bran-new SINS stationary fast self-alignment approach is proposed. By means of analyzing the characteristic of the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) stationary alignment seriously, the new approach takes full advantage of the specific force and angular velocity information given by inertial measurement unit (IMU) instead of the mechanization of SINS. Firstly, coarse alignment algorithm is presented. Secondly, a new fine alignment model for SINS stationary self-alignment is derived, and the observability of the model is analysed. Then, a modified Sage-Husa adaptive Kalman filter is introduced to estimate the misalignment angles. Finally, some computer simulation results illustrate the efficiency of the new approach and its advantages, such as higher alignment accuracy, shorter alignment time, more self-contained and less calculation.

In this paper, the electron transport characteristics in $CF_4$ has been analysed over the E/N range 1${\sim}$300 [Td] by a two-term approximation Boltzmann equation method and by a Monte Carlo simulation. The motion has been calculated to give swarm parameters for the electron drift velocity, longitudinal diffusion coefficient, the ratio of the diffusion coefficient to the mobility, electron ionization and attachment coefficients, effective ionization coefficient, mean energy, collision frequency and the electron energy distribution function. The swarm parameter from the swarm study are expected to serve as a critical test of current theories of low energy electron scattering by atoms and molecules, in particular, as well as crucial information for quantitative simulations of weakly ionized plasmas.

In this paper, the current-voltage characteristics of a 4H-SiC MESFET is simulated by using the Atlas Simulation tool. we are able to use the simulator to extract more information about the new material 4H-SiC, including the mobility, velocity-field Curve and the Schottky barrier height. We have enabled and used the new simulator to investigate breakdown Voltage and thus predict operation limitations of 4H-SiC device. Modeling results indicate that the Breakdown Voltage is 197 V and Current is 100 mA

Compared to wheel locomotion, walking has many advantages : Better to cross over obstacles, the contact with ground is in a determined point, the ground is damaged less. Because Theo Jansen mechanism can make walking motion that is very soft, there are many researches about that mechanism. In this paper, We designed walking robot based on Theo Jansen mechanism. Most important design factor is velocity and stability. First of all, we considered kinematics knowledge and then, we made a new model by using simulation. Finally we developed the model by solving few design problems.

본 연구는 2차원 Compression Corner에서의 초음속 유동의 특성에 관한 수치적 해석을 목적으로 한다. 고속 유동에 관한 연구에 따르면 Compression corner에서 Peak pressure와 Recirculation region이 Flow velocity와 Corner angle에 의하여 크게 영향을 받는 다는 것을 알게 되었다. 지정된 Mach number에서 Corner angle을 $8^{\circ}{\sim}24^{\circ}$로 변화시켜 가면서 Supersonic flow에서 유동해석을 하였다. EDISON을 사용한 Compression Corner 유동해석 결과를 건국대학교 In-house code 'k-flow'를 이용한 결과, 실험 결과와 비교분석하였다.
