The precision aerial application of agricultural unmanned helicopters has become a new paradigm for small farms with orchards, paddy, and upland fields. The needs of agricultural applications require easy and affordable control systems. Recent developments of MEMS technology based on inertial sensors and high speed DSP have enabled the fabrication of low-cost attitude system. Therefore, this study evaluates inertial MEMS sensors for estimating the attitude of an agricultural unmanned helicopter. The accuracies and errors of gyro and acceleration sensors were verified using a pendulum system. The true motion values were calculated using a theoretical estimation and absolute encoder measurement of the pendulum, and then the sensor output was compared with reference values. When comparing the sensor measurements and true values, the errors were determined to be 4.32~5.72%, 3.53~6.74%, and 3.91~4.16% for the gyro rate and x-, z- accelerations, respectively. Thus, the measurement results confirmed that the inertial sensors are effective for establishing an attitude and heading reference system (AHRES). The sensors would be constructed in gimbals for the estimating and proving attitude measurements in the following paper.

The $H_{\infty}$ control theory using LMI method is applied to design an attitude controller of radial type satellite that has strongly coupled channels due to the large product of inertia. It is observed that the cross-over frequency of open-loop with $H_{\infty}$ controller is lower than that of open-loop without controller, which is not typical phenomenon in an optimal control design result: it is interpreted that due to a large product of inertia, there is certain limit in increasing agility of satellite by just tuning weighting function. ${\mu}$-analysis is performed to verify the stability and performance robustness with the assumption of +/-5% MOI variation. ${\mu}$-analysis result shows that the variation of principal MOI degrades the stability and performance robustness more than the variation of POI does.

In this paper, an algorithm to classify the 4 motions of arm and a control system to position control the prosthesis are studied. To classify the 4 motions, we use flex sensors which is electrical resistance type sensor that can measure warp of muscle. The flex sensors are attached to the biceps brchii muscle and coracobrachialis muscle and the sensor signals are passed the sensing system. 4 motion of the forearm - flexion and extension, the pronation and supination are classified from this. Also position of forearm is measured from the classified signals. Finally, A two D.O.F prosthesis arm with RC servo-motor is designed to verify the validity of the algorithm. At this time, fuzzy controller is used to reduce the position error by rotary inertia and noise. From the experiment, the position error had occurred within about 5 degree.

Active array radar is evolving into digital active array radar. Digital active array radar has many advantages for making several simultaneous radar beams from the digital receive data of each element. A digital-type transceiver(TR) module is suitable for this goal in radar. In this work, the design results of an L-band digital TR module are presented to verify the possibility of fabrication for a digital active array antenna. This L-band digital TR module consists of a gallium-nitride-type HPA to achieve a more than 350-W peak output power and one-chip transceivers that include a digital waveform generator and analog digital converter. The receiving gain was 47 dB, the noise figure was less than 2 dB, and the final output type of the four channel receiving paths was one optic signal.

This study is implementation of attitude control system(ACS - Attitude Control System). for a multi legs robot. This study designs H/W of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and attitude control algorithm S/W.

A rapid one-shot alignment method of the Strapdown INS (SDINS) for a vertical launch is proposed. The proposed alignment is performed using the accelerometer output of the Slave INS and the attitude of the Master INS. To improve the accuracy and the speed of the alignment, the equivalent linear transformation and the pre-filtering method are developed. Experiment results show that the proposed method is effective in improving the accuracy and the speed of the alignment.

펠티어효과가 10여년 전에 발견되었으나 이것을 공학분야에 응용되기 시작한 것은 반도체 재료가 개발되기 시작한 1950년경부터 실용화되기 시작하였다. 이러한 열전식 열펌프를 이용하여 냉 각시스템을 만들 경우 재래식인 기계식 냉동시스템과 비교해 볼 때 여러 가지 장점이 있다. 열전식 냉동방법은 전자가 한 반도체에서 다른 반도체로 이동하면서 그 주위의 열과 함께 이동 하는 원리를 이용한 것이기 때문에 기계식 냉동시스템의 중요한 구성품인 압축기, 증발기, 응 축기, 용매제와 같은 부품이 전혀 필요가 없다. 움직이는 부품이 없기 때문에 소음이 없고 신 뢰성이 높다. 100W 보다 적은 열출력에 대해서는 무게가 적고 부피가 적은 장점이 있다. 또한 습도 제어가 정확하고 전류의 방향만 바꾸워 주면 쉽게 냉동에서 가열로 전환이 된다. 작동습 도범위는 제품에 따라 다르지만 대개 +100.deg.C~ -125.deg. C까지 가능하다. 이러한 장점 때 문에 가장 많이 응용되고 있는 분야는 군사무기인 관성항법유도무기의 전자부품실을 냉각시켜 주는 데 사용되고 그 외에 용도는 다양하다. 본 고에서는 열전식 열펌프의 원리와 그 응용에 대해서 가능한 상세히 설명하여 앞으로 이 분야에 대한 연구에 보템이 되고저 한다.

If a wind speed decreases during inertial control of a wind turbine generator (WTG), the rotor speed might decrease below the minimum operating limit, which is called over-deceleration (OD). When OD occurs, inertial control should be disabled and then the output power of a WTG significantly decreases. This significant power reduction causes a subsequent frequency drop. This paper proposes the stepwise inertial control to prevent OD when a wind speed decreases during inertial control. To do this, the proposed scheme changes the additional power output based on the rotor speed. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated using an EMTP-RV simulator. The results show that the proposed inertial control scheme prevent OD even when the wind speed decreases during inertial control.
