Abstract

In the study, a tangible interface using iPhone is proposed to control a mobile robot, instead of remote control by a joystick or buttons. The robot is controlled by iPhone like a handle bar, since acceleration sensors of iPhone are used in the proposed method. The sensors measure the angles changed on the xyz coordinates of iPhone. And their sensor values are stabilized by digital filters. Bluetooth is chosen for communication between a mobile robot and iPhone. In this paper, four type methods are considered and one of the methods is selected for remote control of a mobile robot. Experimental results show that the robot is easily and conveniently controled by the tangible interface based on iPhone.

본 논문에서는 이동로봇의 원격 제어를 위해 조이스틱 혹은 버튼식 원격제어 방법 대신 아이폰을 사용한 체감형 인터페이스 기반의 원격 제어를 제시한다. 제안된 연구는 아이폰의 가속도센서를 사용하여 로봇을 제어하기 때문에 아이폰을 자동차의 핸들로 응용하여 무선으로 로봇 제어가 가능하다. 아이폰을 이용하기 위해 아이폰의 가속도 센서를 측정 및 분석하고 디지털 필터를 사용하여 가속도 센서 값을 안정화 시켰다. 이동 로봇과 아이폰간의 통신을 위해 블루투스 방법이 채택 되었다. 본 연구에서는 네가지의 통신 방법을 제시하였고 이 중 가장 적절한 통신방법을 택하였다. 실험 결과로서 제안된 아이폰 기반의 체감형 인터페이스는 쉽고 편리하게 이동 로봇의 원격 제어를 가능하게 해주었다.
