This study presents intelligent deburring system which can transfer the exper's skill to deburring robot through neural network. The expert's skill is expressed as associate mapping between the characteristics of the burr and human expert's action. Under the fundamental idea that the state of the deburring process can be extracted via the visual sense of the human, we employ vision system for the perception and identification of the changing burr. From the demonstration of human experts, force data are measured and fitted impedance model. Finally the characteristics of the burr and coressponding force are associated by the neural network which is trained through many demonstrations. The proposed method is verified in the deburring process of welding burr.

This paper describes a procedure of the map-based localization for mobile robots by using a sensor fusion technique in structured environments. A combination of various sensors with different characteristics and limited sensibility has advantages in view of complementariness and cooperation to obtain better information on the environment. In this paper, for robust self-localization of a mobile robot with a monocular camera and a laser structured light sensor, environment information acquired from two sensors is combined and fused by a Bayesian sensor fusion technique based on the probabilistic reliability function of each sensor predefined through experiments. For the self-localization using the monocular vision, the robot utilizes image features consisting of vertical edge lines from input camera images, and they are used as natural landmark points in self-localization process. However, in case of using the laser structured light sensor, it utilizes geometrical features composed of corners and planes as natural landmark shapes during this process, which are extracted from range data at a constant height from the navigation floor. Although only each feature group of them is sometimes useful to localize mobile robots, all features from the two sensors are simultaneously used and fused in term of information for reliable localization under various environment conditions. To verify the advantage of using multi-sensor fusion, a series of experiments are performed, and experimental results are discussed in detail.

과거의 이동로봇 시스템은 완전한 자율주행이 주된 목표였으며 그때의 영상정보는 단지 모니터링을 하는 보조적인 수단으로 사용되었다. 그러나 지금은 이동 물체의 추적, 대상 물체의 인식과 판별, 특징 추출과 같은 다양한 응용분야에서 영상정보를 이용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다 또한 제어 측면에서는 전통적인 제어기법으로는 해결하기 힘들었던 여러 가지 비선형적인 제어를 지능제어 방법을 통하여 많이 해결하곤 하였다. 그러한 지능제어에서 신경망을 많이 사용하기도 한다. 최근에는 신경망의 학습에 많이 사용하는 방법 중 강화학습이 많이 사용되고 있다. 강화학습이란 동적인 제어평면에서 시행착오를 통해, 목적을 이루기 위해 각 상황에서 행동을 학습하는 방법이다. 그러므로 이러한 강화학습은 수많은 시행착오를 거쳐 그 대응 관계를 학습하게 된다. 제어에 사용되는 제어 파라메타는 어떠한 상태에 처할 수 있는 상태와 행동들, 그리고 상태의 변화, 또한 최적의 해를 구할 수 있는 포상알고리즘에 대해 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서 연구한 시스템은 비젼시스템과 Strong Arm 보드를 이용하여 대상물체의 색상과 형태를 파악한 후 실시간으로 물체를 추적할 수 있게 구성하였으며, 또한 물체 이동의 비선형적인 경향성을 강화학습을 통하여 물체이동의 비선형성을 보다 유연하게 대처하여 보다 안정하고 빠르며 정확하게 물체를 추적하는 방법을 실험을 통하여 제안하였다.

This paper proposes a real-time robotic vision control scheme using the weighting matrix to efficiently process the vision data obtained during robotic movement to a target. This scheme is based on the vision system model that can actively control the camera parameter and robotic position change over previous studies. The vision control algorithm involves parameter estimation, joint angle estimation, and weighting matrix models. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, this study is divided into two parts: not applying the weighting matrix and applying the weighting matrix to the vision data obtained while the camera is moving towards the target. Finally, the position accuracy of the two cases is compared by performing the slender bar placement task experimentally.

This paper presents the robot vision control schemes based on the Newton-Raphson (N-R) and the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) methods for the tracking of moving targets. The vision system model used in this study involves the six camera parameters. The difference is that refers to the uncertainty of the camera's orientation and focal length, and refers to the unknown relative position between the camera and the robot. Both N-R and EKF methods are employed towards the estimation of the six camera parameters. Based on the these six parameters estimated using three cameras, the robot's joint angles are computed with respect to the moving targets, using both N-R and EKF methods. The two robot vision control schemes are tested by tracking the moving target experimentally. Given the experimental results, the two robot control schemes are compared in order to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

In this study an automatic roiling-coli labeling system using robot vision system and peripheral mechanism is proposed and implemented, which instead of the manual labor to attach labels Rolling-coils in a steel miil. The binary image process for the image processing is performed with the threshold, and the contour line is converted to the binary gradient which detects the discontinuous variation of brightness of rolling-coils. The moment invariants algorithm proposed by Hu is used to make it easy to recognize even when the position of the center are different from the trained data. The position error compensation algorithm of six degrees of freedom industrial robot manipulator is also developed and the data of the position of the center rolling-coils, which is obtained by floor mount camera, are transfered by asynchronous communication method. Therefore even if the position of center is changed, robot moves to the position of center and performs the labeling work successfully. Therefore, this system can be improved the safety and efficiency.

Currently, the method of user-follwoing in intelligent cooperative robots usually based in vision system and using Lidar is common and have excellent performance. But in the closed space of Corona 19, which spread worldwide in 2020, robots for cooperation with medical staff were insignificant. This is because Medical staff are all wearing protective clothing to prevent virus infection, which is not easy to apply with existing research techniques. Therefore, in order to solve these problems in this paper, the ultrasonic sensor is separated from the transmitting and receiving parts, and based on this, this paper propose that estimating the user's position and can actively follow and cooperate with people. However, the ultrasonic sensors were partially applied by improving the Median filter in order to reduce the error caused by the short circuit in communication between hard reflection and the number of light reflections, and the operation technology was improved by applying the curvature trajectory for smooth operation in a small area. Median filter reduced the error of degree and distance by 70%, vehicle running stability was verified through the training course such as 'S' and '8' in the result.

This paper describes an idea for determining self-localization using visual landmark. The critical geometric dimensions of a pentagon are used here to locate the relative position of the mobile robot with respect to the pattern. This method has the advantages of simplicity and flexibility. This pentagon is also provided nth a unique identification, using invariant features and colors that enable the system to find the absolute location of the patterns. This algorithm determines both the correspondence between observed landmarks and a stored sequence, computes the absolute location of the observer using those correspondences, and calculates relative position from a pentagon using its (ive vortices. The algorithm has been implemented and tested. In several trials it computes location accurate to within 5 centimeters in less than 0.3 second.
