Recently, many unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) studies have focused on small UAVs, because they are cost effective and suitable in dangerous indoor environments where human entry is limited. Map building through distance measurement is a key technology for the autonomous flight of small UAVs. In many researches for unmanned systems, distance could be measured by using laser range finders or stereo vision sensors. Even though a laser range finder provides accurate distance measurements, it has a disadvantage of high cost. Calculating the distance using a stereo vision sensor is straightforward. However, the sensor is large and heavy, which is not suitable for small UAVs with limited payload. This paper suggests a low-cost distance measurement system using a laser pointer and a monocular vision sensor. A method to measure distance using the suggested system is explained and some experiments on map building are conducted with these distance measurements. The experimental results are compared to the actual data and the reliability of the suggested system is verified.

As the industry using unmanned vehicles expands, scenarios in which multiple unmanned vehicles are applied to various fields are attracting attention. One unmanned vehicle has limitations in operating time and range, and by using multiple unmanned vehicles, it has the advantage of providing services in a much wider range and shortening the operating time. Taking advantage of these advantages, recent attempts are being made to apply a number of unmanned mobile vehicles to fields such as disasters and broadcasting beyond military use. In this paper, we present a scenario for a data interworking system that can send and receive data from a distance based on a network using multiple unmanned vehicles.

최근 무인로봇 시장이 커지면서 국방관련, 민간, 상업적으로 무인로봇의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이는 사람이 직접 접근할 수 없는 재난발생지역, 환경오염지역, 방사능위험지역, 국가 간 분쟁지역 등에 무인항공기나 무인지상로봇을 투입하여 실시간 원격으로 재난피해 정도를 관찰하고 인명구조작업, 생존자 위치파악, 국경지대 순찰 등에 효과적인 시스템으로 활용할 수 있다. 하지만, 제한적인 환경에서 가지고 있는 부품들이 기능을 제대로 동작하지 않을 때, 하나의 센서 또는 부품을 활용한 위치추적, 원격제어 및 자율주행 등이 가능해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 1개의 이미지 센서를 통해, 객체의 색을 인식하고 추적하는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 특히, 기존의 거리감지 센서 기반의 색 객체 추적 알고리즘에 비교하여, 면적중심 값의 변화량에 따라 객체추적의 반응속도를 증가시켜 쉽게 객체를 추적할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

An unmanned speed sprayer was developed using a remote control and an inductive cable guidance systems to protect operators and environment from hazardous pesticides. The sprayer consists of a remote control system, an induction system, obstacle detectors, control actuators and an one-chip microcomputer. The sprayer can be operated by the induction guidance and/or remote control. The following summarize characteristics of the developed speed sprayer. 1) Both the remote control and the induction guidance operation were possible with the developed speed sprayer. 2) Sixteen functions of the forwarding, backing, halting, steering, 3-way valve for nozzles and fan operating etc. were utilized on the remote control system. 3) It was concluded that the DTMF method, having less transmitting error, performed better than the FSK method for an agricultural remote controller. A radio station may be necessary. 4) The digital inductive guidance system, consisting of five low-impedance detection coils and a window comparator circuit, performed better than the analog detecting system, guiding route using inductive voltage differential from tow detection coils.

Disasters are causing significant damage to the lives and property of our society and are recognized as social problems that need to be solved nationally and globally. The 4th industrial revolution technologies affecting society as a whole such as the Internet of Things(IoT), Artificial Intelligence(AI), Drones(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), and Big Data are continuously absorbed into the disaster and safety industries as scientific and technological tools for solving social problems. Very soon, twenty-nine domestic UAV-related organizations/companies will complete the construction of a multicopter type small UAV integrated system ('17~'20) that can be operated at disaster and security sites. The current work considers and proposes the mid-to-long term R&D direction of disaster UAV as a strategic asset of the national disaster response system. First, the trends of disaster and safety industry and policy are analyzed. Subsequently, the development status and future plans of small UAV, securing shortage technology, and strengthening competitiveness are analyzed. Finally, step-by-step R&D direction of disaster UAV in terms of development strategy, specialized mission, platform, communication, and control and operation is proposed.

This study has developed a small solar powered UAV and performed its flight tests. In daylight, a solar powered UAV flies by using some of electricity generated from solar cells, and stores the remainder into battery. At night it flies by using electricity from battery. A solar powered UAV should have aerodynamically efficient configurations, light-weight, strong wing and fuselage. Its electric propulsion system and solar power system should also be very efficient. In the present study the solar powered UAV and its solar power system are developed for 12 hour continuous flight and the flight tests are performed to verify its performance. The flight tests performed in fall and winter to prove the present solar powered UAV is successful in four-season 12 hour flight.

Recently, unmanned facilities have been introduced and operated in a way that reduces the cost and development of IT technology. Although unmanned facilities have advantages in terms of efficiency and economy, they have disadvantages such as failure of unmanned facilities and malfunctions, causing damage to facilities caused by intruders, and information leakage. In addition, it is necessary to visit the person in charge at all times to inspect the unmanned facilities, resulting in management costs. In this paper, we designed a system that checks the status of unmanned surveillance facilities in real time to check and automatically recover problems such as malfunctions, and to notify managers of situations by text messages in real time. The system to be designed consists of an integrated network video server (NVR) that receives and determines information on the operation status of the main equipment such as video, sound, and lighting, and a real-time text message using an SMS server.

The thesis is automated traffic control equipment system aims to improve. Areas where improvement is needed about the existing automated traffic control equipment by applying the latest technology and to improve the things that can be derived. Reflecting the derived improvements, we intend to present a plan for the design and implementation of a new unmanned traffic control device. The main improvements were designed to change the housing material of the unmanned traffic control equipment, simplify the configuration of the equipment, reduce the weight of the equipment, and change the purpose of the software. In order to evaluate the objective performance of the improved unmanned traffic control equipment through this study, it was requested to a public certification authority. The reliability of the equipment was secured through KC certification and durability test. It is intended to present the feasibility of securing the marketability of the unmanned traffic control equipment by comparing and evaluating the construction period and installation cost with the existing unmanned traffic control equipment.
