The QR codes are printed in sticker form and have many advantages in terms of location recognition accuracy or installation cost compared to the location recognition method, which attaches artificial indicators to ceilings or walls for low-cost location recognition, and the way in which the location is recognized by vision, to create robots that are generally applicable to all industries. In this study, it is shown that the two-dimensional square bar code applied to the robot within 3 mm of error allows the robot to be made with high accuracy and accurate location control. In particular, the fusion research, combined with various engineering technologies, describes QR code-aware indoor mobile robot control research centered on the construction of the system.

This paper proposes a position estimation of a mobile robot based on USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) and encoder, and development of tele-operation system using Internet. USN used in experiments is based on ZigBee protocol and has location estimation engine which uses RSSI signal to estimate distance between nodes. By distortion the estimated distance using RSSI is not correct, compensation method is needed. We obtained fuzzy model to calculate more accurate distance between nodes and use encoder which is built in robot to estimate accurate position of robot. Based on proposed position estimation method, tele-operation system was developed. We show by experiment that proposed method is more appropriate for estimation of position and remote navigation of mobile robot through Internet.

본 논문에서는 시각-관성 측위시스템(Visual-Inertial Odometry, VIO)에서 광학 문자 인식(Optical Character Recognition, OCR)을 활용해 문자의 영역을 찾아내고, 그 위치를 기억해 측위시스템에서 다시 인식되었을 때 비교하기 위해 위치와 특징점을 저장하고자 한다. 먼저, 실시간으로 움직이는 카메라의 영상에서 문자를 찾아내고, 카메라의 상대적인 위치를 이용하여 문자가 인식된 위치와 특징점을 저장하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 저장된 문자가 다시 탐색되었을 때, 문자가 재인식되었는 지 판별하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 인공적인 마커나 미리 학습된 객체를 사용하지 않고 상황에 따른 문자를 사용하는 이 방법은 문자가 존재하는 범용적인 공간에서 사용이 가능하다.

본 논문은 센서네트워크 환경에 설치된 전력선통신 기반 영상 송수신 장치의 영상정보를 수신하는 기능과, CSS기반 SDS-TWR Ranging을 지원하는 센서모듈로부터 거리정보를 수신하여 제안하는 위치인식 알고리즘을 적용시키고 이동노드의 위치정보를 보여주는 모니터링 기능을 개발하였다. 전력선통신 기반 영상 송수신 장치는 장소의 제약 없이 전기 플러그가 있는 곳이면 사용이 가능한 장점이 있고, 주변의 상황을 확인하기 어려운 센서모듈의 단점을 보완하였다. 그리고 제안한 위치인식 보정 알고리즘은 SDS-TWR의 위치인식 오차 116.8cm를 80.5cm로 위치인식의 성능을 향상시켰으며, 대부분의 위치인식 오차가 1m 내외로 보정함을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 모니터링 기능은 센서 네트워크 및 다양한 환경에서 적용이 가능하여 위치인식 시스템의 서비스 품질의 향상에 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a real-time image transferring and localization system utilizing HSDPA, a commercial wireless network system. A novel image compression algorithm is developed based on MPEG4 to comply with uploading bandwidth of 130 kbps and QVGA image transmission of 30 fps. Aiming at being embedded in moving vehicles, the proposed system has a small size, low power consumption, and robustness to disturbances. We validate the performance of the system by presenting captured images of transferring video and localization data. Our system can be applied to real-time surround monitoring in moving vehicles or real-time ecology observation in remote places.

In this paper, we proposed and designed the protocol for energy efficiency and the center of data aiming at the design of a Multi Location Awareness System that recognizes a shadow site in parking and tunnel, which stands on the basis of CSS(Chirp Spread Spectrum) method using ISM Band of IEEE 802.15.4a that aware close location with wireless RF only. As a result of the protocol measurement, it displays the observation errors of less than 15cm, the data error rate of less than 5%, and can implement the Multi Location Awareness System with maximum length of life for 13.5 days using battery of 3V(1500 mAh).

With social interest, there hie been a lot of research on the Service Robot but now we are faced with the limitation of single platform. The alternative plan is the Ubiquitous-based Service Robot connected with a Ubiquitous network to overcome this limitation. Systems using RFID(Radio frequency Identification) and supersonic waves appeared for functions such as recognition of surroundings through Ubiquitous Sensor Networks. This was applied to the real robot and we have got good results. However, this has several limitations to applying to low power-based Sensor Network For example, if RFID uses a passive Sensor, the rate of recognition with the distance is limited. In case of supersonic waves, high power is required to drive them. Therefore, we intend to develop RSSI position recognition system on the basis of embodying a Sensor Network Module in this thesis. This RSSI position recognition system only measures RSSI of signals from each sensor nod. then converts them into distances and calculates the position. As a result, we can still use low power-based Sensor Network and overcome the limitation according to distance as planning Ad-Hoc Network.

We propose an RFID system based on range-free localization method. This method recognizes pre-determined reference tags first, and then checks within which reference tag the target tag is placed closest. It estimates target tag's position relative to the reference tag's position. We use Aging Counter to estimate the distance between reference and target tags using the read ratio of RFID tags. Practicality of the proposed method is verified by applying it to a library book locating system.

We propose the character recognition system for Gerber files. The Gerber file is the vector-formatted drawing file for PCB manufacturing, which includes various symbols, figures and characters. Also, the characters are written in horizontal, vertical, and reverse-vortical directions. In this paper, we newly propose the Gerber-character recognition system to recognize all of component names located in PCB. To improve the performance, we develop the multiple recognizers by neural networks and the verifier considering the structural features. The developed system has been installed to the auto-programming software for PCB assembly and inspection machines.
