Geomagnetic sensors are widely utilized for sensing heading direction of quadrotors. However, measurement from a geomagnetic sensor is easily corrupted by environmental magnetic field interference and roll/pitch directional motion. In this paper, a measurement method of a quadrotor heading direction is proposed for application to yaw attitude control. In order to eliminate roll/pitch directional motion effect, the geomagnetic sensor data is compensated using the roll/pitch angles measured for stabilization control. In addition, yaw-directional angular velocity data from a gyroscope sensor is fused with the geomagnetic sensor data using a complementary filter which is a simple and intuitive sensor fusion method. The proposed method is applied to experiments, and the results are presented to prove validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, fiber optic sensor using Fabry-Perot interferometer which had benefit of minimize and light-weight was used. The sensor head has 1cm in length, total length of fiber is 9.5 chi and the sensor supported at both ends, simply. To analyze the acoustic characteristic non-directional speaker is used as a sound source. Acoustic applied in lateral direction and detected two signals were compared each other. Below 1㎑ fiber optic sensor has more sensitive than microphone, but in 2㎑ fiber optic sensor has less sensitive than microphone. This characteristic varies to the supporting system of fiber optic sensor. It was confirmed that the Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor detected acoustic signal, effectively. This kind of sensor can be applied to the structural health monitoring field of intellectual structure.

Typical underwater acoustic sensors can measure the scalar quantity of sound-pressure-magnitude with the limitation of being unable to identify the direction of an incoming wave. This paper proposes a method to detect the direction of the sound wave with a ring sensor. The sensor of the proposed structure has a piezoceramic ring divided into eight elements, and distinguishes the direction of the sound wave by properly combining the output voltages of the piezoceramic elements. Further, through the analysis of the effects of the structural parameters like the ring radius and length, and piezoceramic thickness, we have suggested the way to improve the sensitivity of the vector sensor.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드는 한정된 에너지를 가진다. 이에 센서 노드의 전송 에너지의 효율을 높여 네트워크의 수명을 연장하는 것이 중요하다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서 LEACH는 클러스터 헤드가 난수를 이용한 확률값으로 선출하여 주변 노드들과 함께 클러스터를 구성한다. 그러나 노드들이 베이스 스테이션과 클러스터 헤드 사이에 존재할 경우 클러스터 헤드로 데이터를 전송하게 되므로, 베이스 스테이션의 역방향으로 전송하게 된다. 이는 역방향 전송을 받은 클러스터 헤드가 다시 베이스 스테이션에 데이터를 전송하게 되어 불필요한 에너지를 소비한다. 본 논문에서는 LEACH의 불필요한 전송 에너지의 소비를 줄이기 위하여 D-LEACH를 제안한다. D-LEACH는 센서 노드와 베이스 스테이션 그리고 클러스터 헤드 사이의 거리를 계산하여 직접 전송하거나 멀티 홉 전송으로 데이터의 전송방향을 베이스 스테이션이 위치한 방향으로만 전송하게 함으로 전송 에너지 효율을 높인다.

센서 네트워크 상의 센서 노드들은 싱크 노드의 ADV 메시지를 통한 질의에 해당하는 정보를 싱크 노드에게로 전송하며 싱크 노드는 수신한 정보를 사용자에게 제공한다. 그러나, 센서 네트워크을 위한 각종 라우팅 알고리즘들은 싱크 노드가 요청하는 해당 질의에 맞는 정보를 가지고 있는 센서 노드의 위치를 알기 위하여 매번 전체 네트워크로 ADV 메시지를 퍼뜨리는 방법을 사용하기 때문에 전체 네트워크의 수명과 직접적인 관련성이 있는 센서 노드들의 에너지 소비량을 극심하게 증가시킨다. 본 논문에서는 싱크 노드의 질의에 해당하는 목적지 노드를 찾기 위한 초기 경로 설정 시, 방향성 정보를 가진 ADV 메시지를 제한된 방향으로만 전파함으로써 관련없는 노드들의 메시지 송수신으로 인한 불필요한 에너지 소비를 줄이도록 하는 새로운 메시징 기법을 제안하고 이의 효율성을 모의실험을 통하여 나타내 보인다.

In rotatable directional sensor networks, maximizing network lifetime while covering all the targets and forwarding the sensed data to the sink is a challenge problem. In this paper, we address the Maximum Directional Cover Tree (MDCT) problem of organizing the directional sensors into a group of non-disjoint subsets to extend the network lifetime. Each subset in which the directional sensors cover all the targets and forward the sensed data to the sink is activated at one time. For the MDCT problem, we first present an energy consumption model which mainly takes into account the energy consumption for rotation work. We also develop the Directional Coverage and Connectivity (DCC)-greedy algorithm to solve the MDCT problem. To evaluate the algorithm, we conduct simulations and show that it can extend the network lifetime.

Mobile robots performed various missions in various environments. In order to move to target precisely, the mobile robots need a precise position sensing system In this paper, a new high precision docking sensor is proposed. Proposed docking sensor consists of linear CCD(charge coupled device) sensor and ultrasonic sensors. The docking sensor system can measure lateral position(X), longitudinal position(Y) and angle(${\theta}$) between the sensor and flat target with simple mark. Two ultrasonic sensors measure two distances which can be converted to longitudinal position and angle. Linear CCD sensor measures lateral position using center mark of the target. To verify performance of the sensor, the sensor is applied to an omnidirectional mobile robot. Several experimental results show highly precise performance of the sensor. Repeatability of the docking sensor is less than 1mm and $0.2^{\circ}$. Proposed docking sensor can be applied for precise docking of mobile robot.

In this paper, to detect lateral direction sound pressure fiber optic sensor using Fabry-Perot interferometeric sensor array was fabricated and experimented. This parallel sensor array composed of one light source and the light split into each sensor using directional coupler and to see the output signal the array system do not need any digital signal processor. As a lateral direction sound source arbitrary sound frequency of 100Hz, 200Hz, and 655Hz using by nondirectional speaker were applied to the array sensor which installed on $60cm{\times}60cm{\times}60cm$ latticed structure. The detected signals from the two sensors were analyzed in the time and frequency domains. It was confirmed that the suggested sensor array detected applied sound source well but there were a little amplitude differences in between the sensors. Because the sensor supported simply at both ends theoretical analysis was performed and its solution was suggested. To compare the theoretical and experimental results arbitrary sound frequency of 2kHz was applied to the sensor array. It shows that experimental results was good agreement with theoretical results.

This paper presents the feasibility of a lateral mode piezoelectric oscillator to detect damages in civil infrastructures. The lateral mode oscillator sensor is composed of an electronic feedback oscillator circuit and a piezoelectric lateral mode vibrator to be attached to a structure of interest. Damage to the structure causes a change in the impedance spectrum of the structure, which results in a corresponding change of a resonant frequency of the structure. The oscillator sensors can instantly detect the frequency change in a very simple manner. Feasibility of the piezoelectric oscillator sensor was verified in this work with a sample aluminum plate where artificial cracks of different lengths and number were imposed in sequence. Validity of the measurement was confirmed through comparison of the experimental data with the results of finite element analyses of a plate with cracks.
