대부분의 이동 로봇은 효율적인 경로계획을 위하여 최단거리 및 최소비용을 갖는 경로를 선택한다. 그러나 다수의 로봇이 존재하는 환경에서는 이웃하는 로봇 상호간에 동적 장애물로 인식되어 주행성능을 떨어뜨리게 된다. 또한 트래픽량이 거의 없는 환경에서는 무선 통신의 전송거리 제한으로 이동 로봇간 네트워킹이 원활하게 수행될 수 없는 문제도 있다. 따라서 적당한 거리의 이웃 로봇들과 협업을 위한 네트워킹을 하면서 동적인 경로계획 및 주행을 하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 A* 알고리즘을 수정하여 로봇의 동적인 트래픽을 고려한 경로계획 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 기법을 이용하여 경로설정과정에서의 로봇 상호간 병목현상을 완화시키며, 일관된 협업 통신도 유지할 수 있다. 모의 실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 동적인 트래픽을 고려하여 경로를 선택함을 보인다.

무선 통신기술이 발전함에 따라 위치기반 서비스에 대한 관심 또한 증가하고 있다. 그 중 저전력 블루투스 기술을 사용한 비콘(Beacon)은 실내 위치인식이 불가능한 GPS와 달리 실내에서도 측위가 가능하여 사용성이 주목 받고 있다. 그러나 비콘으로부터 수신되는 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication) 값은 여러 환경요소로부터 영향을 받기 때문에 RSSI값을 기반으로 한 거리측정이 실제거리와의 오차가 크게 나타난다. 이에 따른 문제를 해결하기 위한 기존의 연구들이 존재하지만 평균적으로 10m이하의 거리에서 2m의 오차를 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 RSSI의 오차를 줄이기 위해 확장 칼만 필터와 신호 안정화 필터를 사용하여 Raw Data를 전처리 한 후 산출된 Cleaned Data를 기반으로 각 거리단위에 최적화된 ANN(Artificial Neural Network)모델을 생성하여 거리를 측정하는 기법을 제안한다.

In an ultrawide band (UWB) indoor wireless localization, time of arrival (TOA) parameter estimation techniques have some difficulties in acquiring a reasonable TOA estimate because of the clustered multipath components overlapping or random time intervals mainly due to non line-of-sight (NLOS) environment. In order to solve that problem and achieve an excellent UWB indoor wireless localization, we propose a UWB signal model and a robust TOA parameter estimation technique that has little effect on the clustered problems unlike the conventional technique. Through simulation studies, the validity of the proposed model and the TOA estimation technique are examined. The performance of estimation error is also analyzed.

In this paper we designed and implemented a wireless communication circuit which can control the remote devices integrating RFID and ZigBee. This system unifies transmit part and receive part. And this system recognizes RFID tag data, then the recognized information is controlled by MCU, and transmitted to a remote device through the ZigBee. This is operated on TinyOS. If this system is applied to a entrance security system, it can permit/deny one's entrance as well as control the personal computer or other electronic devices. Our experiment shows the result of the recognized data transmission is very different according to a opened playground and a closed place. The data transmission time is stable in the indoor and the data transmission distance is long in the outdoor. We anticipate that our system be applied the various office oriented domains by connecting to the Wired LAN or the WLAN of IEEE 802.11x category.

In recent years there has been growing interest in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for a variety of indoor applications. In this paper, we present the RSSI-based localization in indoor environments. In order to evaluate the relationship between distance and RSSI, the log-normal path loss shadowing model is used. By tagging users with a sensor node and deploying a number of nodes at fixed position in the building, the RSSI can be used to determine the position of tagged user. This system operates by recording and processing signal strength information at the base stations. It combines Euclidean distance technique with signal strength matrix obtained during real-time measurement to determine the location of user. The experimental results presented the ability of this system to estimate user's location with a accuracy.

Currently in the development of community wireless technology is gaining interest in location-based services and as a result, the importance of the location information is a growing trend. To calculate the location information is being suggested several ways, among them Trilateration is representative. Trilateration is three beacon nodes, the distance between the location in which you want to calculate with information. Beacon from a node to know where to get information when the distance between the obstacle and the distance error caused by the surrounding environment, which leads to the exact location can not be obtained. Currently due to distance error, location information has a variety of algorithms to reduce the error. However, a systematic analysis of these algorithms is not progress. This paper analyzes the location-aware technologies, and the error the distance of the location information to reduce errors in the various aspects of the algorithm for the systematic and empirical comparison was evaluated through the analysis.

In this paper, we study the design and implementation of an auto recognition system by using wireless sensor node. RFID system has a limited communication range and communication network is damaged, it is impossible to communicate. Therefore, easy installation and low cost wireless system are required in an area where the installation of communication between RFID system and monitoring system is difficult, or a portable RFID system is installed. The auto recognition system in this study is implemented by the combination of 13.56MHz RFID system using MLX12115 RFID chip of Melexis company and wireless sensor node system using CC2420 Zigbee chip of Chipcon company. As a result, we develop an auto recognition system which makes it possible to get tag's information wirelessly. Also, it has a simple circuit structure and is small in size.

This study presents an ultrasonic location awareness system for the ubiquitous computing with absolute position. The flight time of ultrasonic waves is determined by a period detecting technique which is able to extend the sensing range compared with traditional methods. For location awareness, ultrasonic waves are sent successively from each ultrasonic transmitter and synchronized by radio frequency (RF) signal, where the transmitting part is fixed and the receiving part is movable. To expand the recognizing range, cell matching technique and coded ultrasonic technique are introduced. The experimentation for various distances is accomplished to verify the used period detecting technique of U-SAT system. The positioning accuracy by using cell matching is also verified by finding the locations of settled points and the usability of coded ultrasonic technique is verified. As a result, the possibility of ultrasonic location awareness system for the ubiquitous computing can be discussed as a pseudo-satellite system with low cost, a high update rate, and relatively high precision, in the places where GPS is not available.

Linear wireless sensor networks typically construct a network topology with a high reliability through sequential 1:1 mapping among sensor nodes, so that they are used in various surveillance applications of major national infrastructures. Most existing techniques for identifying sensor nodes in those networks are using GPS, AOA, and RSSI mechanisms. However, GPS or AOA based node identification techniques affect the size or production cost of the nodes so that it is not easy to construct practical sensor networks. RSSI based techniques may have a high deviation regrading location identification according to propagation environments and equipment quality so that complexity of error correction algorithm may increase. We propose a timestamps based sequential localization algorithm that uses transmit and receive timestamps in a message between sensor nodes without using GPS, AOA, and RSSI techniques. The algorithms for distance measurement between each node are expected to measure distance within up to 1 meter in case of an crystal oscillator of 300MHz or more.
