In this work, a 4-DOF industrial robot system with three translational and one rotational motions which is widely used in palletizing applications is developed. In order for small robot manufacturing companies to develop their own robot systems for CNC machining and/or general automations, the analysis and design methods of a 4-DOF robot manipulator are presented and the development of a PC-based robot controller with EtherCAT are introduced. It is noted that the robot controller is developed by using Simulink Real-Time, which can provide an integrated environment of easier control algorithm development and data logging. Through position control and accuracy/repeatability measurement results, the developed robot prototype has comparable performances with commercial counterparts. In the future works, the advanced functions of industrial robots such as kinematic calibration, vibration suppression control, computed torque control, etc. will be investigated.

Although a scooter is a convenient transportation means for a short distance traveling with a light package in the congested urban center, it might be one of the significant sources of air pollutants to which many people can easily be exposed during its passing-by. In this paper, we measured concentrations of gases and particles emitted from a scooter at roadside with no other traffic. To understand the characteristics of scooter emissions with respect to driving speed (idling, 30 km/h) at the roadside, total particle number concentration, particle size distribution, average surface area of particles deposited in the alveolar region, and concentrations of black carbon, CO, and $NO_x$ were measured. The concentrations of the particle number, surface area of deposited particles, CO, and $NO_x$ were highly fluctuated in the scooter's idling condition. The trends of particle number concentration, CO, and $NO_x$ generation were similar to one another. When the scooter started to move, all of $NO_x$, CO and particle number concentrations increased and after it passed by at the speed of 30 km/h, the concentration peaks of the particles and gases appeared at the same time. Unimodal size distribution with ~70 and ~93 nm mode diameters was observed for the idling and cruising condition, respectively. From this work, we found that emission from a passing vehicle could be characterized using a roadside monitoring technique.

Generally, underwater unmanned vehicle have adopted an inertial navigation system (INS), dead reckoning (DR), acoustic navigation and geophysical navigation techniques as the navigation method because GPS does not work in deep underwater environment. Even if the tactical inertial sensor can provide very detail measurement during long operation time, it is not suitable to use the tactical inertial sensor for small size and low cost UUV because the tactical inertial sensor is expensive and large. One alternative to INS is attitude heading reference system (AHRS) with the micro-machined electro mechanical system (MEMS) inertial sensor because of MEMS inertial sensor's small size and low power requirement. A cost effective and small size attitude heading reference system (AHRS) which incorporates measurements from 3-axis micro-machined electro mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscopes, accelerometers, and 3-axis magnetometers has been developed to provide a complete attitude solution for UUV. The AHRS based MEMS overcome many problems that have inhibited the adoption of inertial system for small UUV such as cost, size and power consumption. Several evaluation experiments were carried out for the validation of the developed AHRS's function and these experiments results are presented. Experiments results prove the fact that the developed MEMS AHRS satisfied the required specification.

염전의 자동화 시스템 구성을 위해서는 증발지의 염도 및 수위 측정이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 2개의 고정된 부력체의 부력을 측정하여 함수의 염도 및 수위를 동시에 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 측정방식은 측정 장치가 함수에 잠기게 될 때 주부력체와 비교부력체의 부력을 측정하고, 두 부력의 합과 차를 통해 염도와 수위를 동시에 측정하는 것이다. 부력의 측정에 기계적인 움직임이 없어서 뻘이 포함된 염전의 환경에서 측정 오류와 유지보수가 필요성을 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 방법을 적용하여 염전의 증발지에서 원격으로 염도 및 수위를 동시에 측정할 수는 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 여러 수준의 염도를 갖는 기준함수를 사용한 측정 실험을 통하여 염도 오차 0%, 수위 오차 2mm의 결과를 얻고, 제안된 염도 및 수위 측정 장치의 유효성을 확인하였다. 개발된 염도 및 수위 측정 장치를 활용하여 자동화 시스템을 구성할 경우 노동력 절감 및 작업 환경 개선과 생산성 증진이 기대된다.
