Recently, a self-camera that generates and distributes a large amount of moving images has been rapidly increasing due to the appearance of SNS such as Facebook, Instagram, and Tweet using mobile. In particular, the amount of SNS connections using mobile phones is significantly increasing in terms of usage, number of connections, and usage time. However, the use of a self-recording system using a smartphone by itself is extremely limited not only in terms of usage but also in frequency of use. In addition, the conventional unattended recording system is a very expensive system that automatically records and tracks an object to be photographed using an infrared signal. Therefore, this paper developed a low cost unmanned recording system using mobile phone. The system consists of a commercial mobile camera, a servomotor for moving the camera from side to side, a microcontroller for controlling the motor, and a commercial wireless Bluetooth earset for video audio input. And it is an unmanned automation system using mobile, and anyone can record image by self image tracking.

현재 한국농촌공사에서는 농업용수의 효율적인 관리를 위하여 물관리자동화사업을 시행하고 약 8만ha를 대상으로 418개의 수리시설을 전동화하였다. 물관리자동화사업에서의 물관리는 공급자 위주로서 이미 결정되어진 물의 양을 시기에 따라 적절하게 공급하여 주며 이를 계측하고 제어하기 위한 시설이다. 그러나 현재 실제로 물관리가 일어나는 곳을 말단포장으로서 급수물꼬의 개폐에 따라 농업용수의 공급과 단절이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 사실에 착안하여 본 연구에서는 급수물꼬를 논의 담수심에 따라 자동으로 개폐시키는 자동물꼬, 논의 담수심과 수로의 유황상황을 체크하여 정보전달을 수행하는 수로수위측정 및 담수심 측정장치, 상기의 논과 수로의 유황정보에 의하여 논에 물을 공급하는 태양광 전동수문, 수로의 수위증감에 따라서 수로의 수압을 일정하게 형성시켜 용수공급을 원활하게 해주며 또 기존의 제수문과는 다르게 항상 수위를 일정하게 유지하면서도 하류방향으로 물을 공급해주는 무동력 자동수문을 개발하여 시스템으로서 구성하여 설치하였다. 현재 담수심 측정 및 수로수위측정장치로부터의 정보전달은 무선으로 하며 이 정보를 기초로 하여 태양광 전동수문의 모터제어부에서 판단을 하여 수문의 개폐를 지시한다. 또한 무동력 자동수문의 경우에는 부력부가 별도로 설치되어 있어서 주수부를 통하여 수로내 수위와 같은 레벨로 물이 유입되고 이를 플로트가 감지하여 수문비 후방에 설치되어 있는 밸런스 웨이트를 제어하여 수문을 개폐한다. 본 무동력 자동수문은 수위를 유지하는 설정수심을 자유로이 변경할 수 있도록 주수부를 개량하였으며 부력부에 오물유입이 되지 않도록 스크린을 주수부의 물유입장소에 설치하였다. 현재까지 시스템의 작동상황에 대한 성능은 양호하다. 다만 향후의 문제점으로서 시스템이 설치된 지역과 설치되지 않은 지역과의 용수사용량을 비교분석하는 작업으로 본 시스템의 경제적 효과 및 효율성을 증명할 필요가 있으며 본 시스템의 실용화시 시스템 사용방안에 대해서는 대규모 평야부와 저수지 지구의 물공급특성이 다르기 때문에 이를 감안한 시스템 구성을 할필요가 있다.

In this paper, we introduce a case study of developing a miniature humanoid robot which has 16 degrees of freedom, 42 cm heights, and 1.5kg weights. For easy implimentation, the integrated RC-servo motors are adopted as actuators and a digital camera is equipped on its head. So, it can transmit vision data to a remote host computer via wireless modem. The robot can perform staircase walking as well as straight walking and turning to any direction. The user-interface program running on the host computer contains a robot graphic simulator and a motion editor which are used to generate and verify the robot's walking motion. The experimental results show that the robot has various walking capability including straight walking, turning, and stairs walking.

A control of the body posture and movement is maintained by the vestibular system, vision, and proprioceptors. Afferent signals from those receptors are transmitted to the vestibular nuclear complex, and the efferent signals from the vestibular nuclear complex control the eye movement and skeletal muscle contract. The postural disturbance caused by loss of the vestibular function results in nausea, vomiting, vertigo and loss of craving for life. The purpose of this study is to develop a off-vertical rotatory system for evaluating the function of semicircular canals and otolith organs, selectively, and visual stimulation system for- stimulation with horizontal, vortical and 3D patterns. The Off-vortical axis rotator is composed of a comportable chair, a DC servo-motor with reducer and a tilting table controlled by PMSM. And a double feedback loop system containing a velocity feedback loop and a position feedback loop is applied to the servo controlled rotatory chair system. Horizontal, vertical, and 3D patterns of the visual stimulation for applying head mounted display are developed. And wireless portable systems for optokinetic stimulation and recording system of the eye movement is also constructed. The gain, phase, and symmetry is obtained from analysis of the eye movement induced by vestibular and visual stimulation. Detailed data were described.

We propose a variable frame structure connected with telescopic mast-shaped shaft for a robot displaying outstanding ability to cross obstacles, and for effective traction control. The wireless control system was built to extend and contract a deployable mechanism, which is shaped into a hoberman sphere assembled with frame structures. In order to develop important parameters for efficient locomotion, we derived an Euler-Lagrange equation for the spherical robot. According to the equation, the DC motor was selected. A prototype mechanism was tested and a Finite-Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted in parallel. Using these data, we constructed a deployable spherical robot with structural stability. The deployable robot moved at a speed of 0.85 m/s from 520 mm to 650 mm.

Recently, gamma radiographic equipments have been used about 1,000 sets manually and operated by about 2,500 persons in Korea. In order for a radiography to work effectively with avoiding any hazard of the high level radiation from the source, many field workers have expected developing a wireless automatic remote exposure controller. The KlTCO research team has developed an automatic remote exposure controller that can regulate the speed of $0.4{\sim}1.2m/s$ by BLDC motor of 24V 200W which has output of $54kgf{\cdot}cm$, suitable torque and safety factor for the work. And the developed automatic remote exposure controller can control rpm of motor, pigtail position by photo-sensor and exposure time by timer to RF sensor. Thus, the developed equipment is expected that the unit can be used in many practical applications with benefits in economical advantage to combine the use of both automatic and manual type because attachment is possible existent manual remote exposure controller, AC and DC combined use.

To study a habit and life patten of a wild animal, this paper do a research on the location tracing system of wild animal by yagi-antenna low pass filter, angle tracking technology. Commonly, VHF Radio Telemetry is used for the location tracing system of wild animal. Considering movement, Previous yagi-antenna has 4-element and has advantage of portability but the other advantages are small and preference is weak. To make the advantage of yagi-antenna higher than previous one, Supposed technology adapt to 6-element and make out Narrow space yagi-antenna technology. Also, It supposes that AOA (:Angle of arrival) technology is applied to detecting technology for a close direction from received signal. Based on this study suggest that position tracing technology is so as to figure out a life patten and habit of a wild animal which live in a certain area.

The raise of the acceleration can be one of possible methods to increase the scheduled speed of the metropolitan railway system. It is possible to raise the acceleration to the some point by increasing the traction power of the motor. However, there is a limit of the acceleration because the traction power over some level related to the adhesion causes a slip, which prevents from accomplishing the target acceleration. The running resistance is also an important factor to consider. Both the adhesion and the running resistance as well as the traction power vary according to the velocity. Therefore, the standardization of the acceleration needs the analysis of these factors as a function of velocity. In this study, we focus on the advanced urban transit unit(AUTS) for the standardization. We derive a novel equation of the adhesion suitable for the AUTS by investigation of the traction and adhesion equation as well as the experiment data. And finally we propose the standard of the acceleration based on this analysis.
