The primary objective of this study is to develop a conceptual design of all-in-one attachment based steel pipe pile cutting robot that improves the conventional work in safety, quality, convenience and productivity. For this, the following research works are conducted sequentially; 1)literature review, 2)field investigation, 3)selection of element technology for conceptual design, 4)deduction of conceptual design and its work process, 5)technical feasibility analysis of the conceptual design and its work process. As a result, leveling laser and laser detector, plasma cutter, rotary grapple are selected as core technologies. Futhermore, a conceptual design and work process of an all-in-one attachment based steel pipe pile cutting robot are developed based on the core technologies. According to the technical feasibility analysis result, at least 76.8% of the respondents are selected positive answer about each device of the all-in-one attachment based steel pipe cutting robot. It is expected that the application range and impact on the construction industry will be enormous due to the increasing trend of the steel pipe pile market.

건설기계는 우리나라의 산업발전과 성장해 왔으며, 또한 발전과정에서 기여한 바도 크다. 건설 기계의 수요는 1970년대 초부터 지하철, 고속도로등 사회간접자본 개발이 활발해 짐에 따라 건 설기계에 대한 투자나 내수가 성장하기 시작하여 1980년대 후반 국가 산업규모가 확대됨에 따 라서 크게 신장하여, 1982년 내수규모가 약 2100여대이던 것이 1991년에는 16,000여대로 증가해 왔다. 이 중 대표기종인 굴삭기가 전 건설중장비의 약 76%('91년도 금액비)를 점하고 있고, 또한 건설기계는 건설작업의 성역화에 기여해 왔으며 앞으로도 이 역할은 변함없을 것이다. 최근에는 건설기계의 안전성, 공정의 자동화, 로봇화 등이 크게 요구되고 있다. 건설기계는 구조상 연강 후판(두께10-50mm)이 주류를 이루고 내마모부품이 많다. 구성부는 강판이 사용이나(총 중량의 약 30%)일부 주강과 단조품이 사용되고 있다. 경량화를 위하여 고장력강이 사용되고, 기어나 샤프트 등에는 합금강이나 탄소강이 쓰이고 있다. 생산공정은 자동화, 무인화가 추진되고 있고, 설계는 CAD/CAM화가 보편적으로 활용되고 있다. 용접은 탄산가스 아아크 용접이 대부분이고, 일부 MAG또는 플락스 충전 와이어(FLUX CORED WIRE)를 사용하고 있다. 합금강 등에는 마찰용접이나 전자 비임용접이 활용되기도 한다.

This research develops a robot as the device which constructs underwater harbour. This construction is to build a breakwater, which is dangerous and difficult. The hydraulic parallel mechanism-typed robot is developed to mechanize the construction by operating of a stoneworker (or diver) through a joystick. The six-dof robot is able to carry 2-3 tons' heavy stone and put it on the surface of breakwater. This paper presents the mechanical design of a miniature robot, its control and application for the breakwater construction.

Automation of Field Robot has many advantages for efficiency and convenience. In this paper, mathematical equation of field robot is established and automation system is constructed. Hydraulic and Dynamic equation of field robot are constructed in this paper. Inputs of system are angle data from each link (boom, arm, bucket, swing) and pressure data from in, out port of each cylinder. Outputs of system are voltage into electo-proportional valve.

Virtual Manufacturing is a powerful methodology for developing a new product, new equipment and new production system. It enables us to check the errors in design before production. This paper deals with a case study of virtual manufacturing in an excavator factory. Boom and rotating table of upper body are selected for application. 3D models of parts and fixtures are developed with CATIA and 3D simulation models are developed with IGRIP. These models are used for the design of fixture to verify the motion of the equipment. As a result, the manual welding systems are replaced by automatic systems and many design errors are corrected in the design phase, which enables us to reduce the developing cost and time.

When underwater rubble leveling work is carried out by a robot, real-time information on the topography around the robot is required for remote control. If the topographical information with respect to the current position of the robot is displayed as a 3D graphic image, it allows the operator to plan the working schedules and to avoid accidents like rollovers. Up until now, the topographical recognition was conducted by multi-beam sonars, which were only used to assess the quality before and after the work and could not be used to provide real-time information for remote control. This research measures the force delivered to the bucket which presses the mound to determine whether contact is made or not, and the contact position is calculated by reading the cylinder length. A variable bang-bang control algorithm is applied to control the heavy robot arms for the positioning of the bucket. The proposed method allows operators to easily recognize the terrain and intuitively plan the working schedules by showing relatively 3-D gratifications with respect to the robot body. In addition, the operating patterns of a skilled operator are programmed for raking, pushing, moving, and measuring so that they are automatically applied to the underwater rubble leveling work of the robot.

There have been many efforts in automatic object recognition using computing technologies. Especially in the development of automated construction equipment, automatic object recognition is very important issue for the proper equipment maneuvering. 3D laser scanning, which uses (time-of-flight) method to construct the 3-dimensional information, is applied to the civil earth work environment for its high accuracy, quick data collection, and object recognition capability that will be developed by the authors in the future. The 3D earth model is also used as a fundamental information for intelligent earth work task planning. This paper presents the analysis of the 3D laser scanner market and selection of the most optimum 3D scanner for the intelligent earth work planning. As well as the hardware configuration for the automated 3D earth modeling is developed but also the software structure and detailed user interface are designed in this research. In addition, it is presented in this paper that the accuracy comparison test between TotalStation(R) which is a traditional survey tool and ScanStation(R). The accuracy test is done by relative distance measurement using known targets.
