인간의 모션을 센싱해서 로봇을 원격조정함에 있어서 각 관절에 대한 제어명령을 무선으로 전달함으로서 배선의 어려움 등을 없앨 수 있다. 이에 대한 기초 연구로서 DC모터에 대한 원격제어를 Labview를 이용해서 구현하였다. 인간의 움직임은 3축가속도 센서를 사용함으로써 관절의 각도변화를 측정하여 그에 따라 따라 모터의 회전각이 변하도록 하였다 모터의 제어에 있어서는 NI사의 PXI를 사용하였으며 모션센싱부와 PXI와의 데이터 전송은 하는 RS-232 기반의 무선 모듈을 사용하였다. 제어기는 LabView 프로그램으로 작성된 PID제어기를 사용하였다.

In general, a yawing motion concept is used for the lateral control of one wheel robot where the gimbal system is located horizontally. In this paper, another concept of the vertically located gimbal system is presented for the same purpose. Although the vertical concept undergoes an instability more easily than the horizontal one, the pitching motion of the gyroscopic effect is considered. Firstly, the trade-off relation between two balancing concepts are investigated by comparing the gyroscopic mechanism. Secondly, the dynamic model for the problem of the proposed concept is derived using the oscillatory inverted stick model. Thirdly, the stability of the model is analyzed using the phase trajectory method. Finally, the control performance of the system by a vibration controller is simulated.

Recently the need for cooperative control among robots is increasing in a variety of industrial robot applications. Such a control framework enhances the efficiency of the real robotic assembly environment along with extending the robot application. In this paper, an ethernet-based cooperative control framework was proposed. The cooperative control of robots can multiply the handling capacity of robot system, and make it possible to implement jigless cooperation, due to realization of trajectory-synchronized movement between a master robot and slave robots. Coordinate transformation was used to relate among robots in a common coordinate. An optimized ethernet protocol of HiNet was developed to maximize the speed of communication and to minimize the error of synchronous movement. The proposed algorithm and optimization of network protocol was tested in several class of robots.

In this paper, an exoskeleton-type motion capturing system is designed and implemented. The device is designed to have 12 degree-of-freedom entirely to represent human arm motions. Forward and inverse kinematics of the device are analyzed to make sure of its singular positions. With the designed model parameters, simulation studies are conducted to verify that the designed motion capturing system is effective to represent human motions within the workspace. As a counterpart of the exoskeleton system, a mobile robot is built to follow human motion restrictively. Experimental studies of teleoperation from the exoskeleton device to control the mobile robot are carried out to show feasible application of wireless man-machine interface.

In this paper, hardware implementation of interface and control between two robots, the master and the slave robot, are designed. The master robot is the motion capturing device that captures motions of the human operator who wears it. The slave robot is the corresponding humanoid robot arms. Captured motions from the master robot are transferred to the slave robot to follow after the master. All hardware designs such as PID controllers, communications between the master robot, encoder counters, and PWM generators are embedded on a single FPGA chip. Experimental studies are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the FPGA controller design.

본 논문에서는 생물학적 운동 메카니즘을 유사하게 구현하기 위해 신경 진동자를 이용한 로봇 팔 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 인간 및 동물의 주기적인 자율 운동을 관장하는 Central Pattern Generator (CPG)를 수학적으로 모델링한 신경 진동자는 그 중요 특성의 하나인 entrainment 효과를 보여준다. 일반적으로 우리는 이 기능을 이용하여 미지의 외부 환경 변화와 같은 외란에 적절히 상호 작용할 수 있는 운동을 생성해 낼 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 보이기 위해, 각 관절에 가상의 신경 진동자 모델을 결합하였고 외부 환경의 변화나 외란의 감지를 위한 F/T센서를 팔의 말단에 부착하여 시스템을 구현하였다. 신경 진동자 모델을 결합한 2축 링크 로봇 팔 시스템(real time)은 주어진 목적운동을 (원 운동) 수행함과 동시에 미지의 외부 환경의 변화(임의의 벽)를 인지하여 적절한 모션을 생성하는 지를 살펴본다.

We propose time-optimal cornering motion trajectory planning and control algorithms for differential wheeled mobile robot with motor actuating voltage constraint, under piecewise constant control input condition. For time-optimal cornering trajectory generation, 1) we considered mobile robot's dynamics including actuator motors, 2) divided the cornering trajectory into one liner section, followed by two cornering section with angular acceleration and deceleration, and finally one liner section, and 3) formulated an efficient trajectory generation algorithm satisfying the bang-bang control principle. Also we proposed an efficient trajectory control algorithm and implemented with an X-bot to prove the performance.

이 논문은 한 대의 모바일 로봇의 모션 계획 알고리즘인 Bug1과 Bug2를 개선한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 장애물이 있는 환경에서 목표지점까지 도달하기 위한 경로 계획 알고리즘으로 Bug1과 Bug2가 제안되었지만, 이 두 알고리즘은 모두 장애물 형태에 따라 탐사 시간이 오래 걸릴 수 있다는 단점이 있다. Bug2 알고리즘은 Bug1 알고리즘을 개선한 형태로 제안되었지만 심지어 극적적인 경우에는 무한 루프에 빠진다는 단점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 한 쌍의 모바일 로봇을 이용한 병렬 탐색 PBug1, PBug2 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 PBug1과 PBug2 알고리즘은 각각 Bug1과 Bug2의 속도를 보장하며 일반적으로 빠른 탐사시간을 보인다. 측히 PBug2 알고리즘은 Bug2와 달리 무한루프에 빠지는 경우가 없다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 위해 PBug1, PBug2 알고리즘을 구현하여 Bug1, Bug2 알고리즘과 비교하였다. 실험결과 PBug1 알고리즘은 Bug1 알고리즘보다 탐사 시간이 64.9%로 감소하였고 PBug2 알고리즘은 Bug1 알고리즘과 비슷한 탐사 시간을 보였다.

The importance of the robots has emerged as the means of minimizing the casualties in the future war, and, thus, the biomimetic robots mimicking the optimized organisms has been actively studied. The robot inspired lizard is suitable for reconnaissance and the surveillance in narrow areas. In this paper, we analyzed the locomotion of a lizard by motion capture system using the infrared markers. We attached 21 markers to the joints of the lizard. By considering the measured data, we analyzed the walking motion of the lizard which trots in a sprawled posture. Moreover, we proposed the 25 dof kinematic model which was able to reproduce the gait of the lizard faithfully. The model was verified by simulations.
