An efficient iterative method is presented for the dynamic analysis of bodies moving on flexible structures. In contrast to traditional approaches, the nominal motion of the body is considered here as an unknown. The correct contact forces between the bodies and the flexible structures are computed by an iterative method reducing the specially defined error vectors to zero, and thus satisfying the constraints between the bodies and the structures. Even thought only simple equations of motions and simple time integrators are adopted, the correct solutions are economically obtained and the Timoshenko paradox is completely resolved. Numerical simulations are conducted demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the solution and to compare the results with the reference.

사용자-객체 상호작용을 위해서는 영상 내 객체의 종류와 위치를 정확하게 파악하여 사용자가 객체에 관련된 행동을 취할 경우, 그에 맞는 상호작용을 수행해야 한다. 이러한 객체인식에 널리 사용되는 지역 불변 특징량 기반의 방법론은 복잡한 배경이나 균일 물체에 대하여 잘못된 매칭으로 인식률이 저하된다. 본고에서는 이를 해결하기 위해, 컬러와 깊이 근접도 기반 깊이 계층을 나누고, 복잡 배경으로부터 생기는 잘못된 특징점 대응을 최소화 하기 위해 각 깊이 계층과 인식 물체 영상간의 특징점 대응을 수행한다. 또한, 각 깊이 계층영역에서 색상 히스토그램 재투영으로 객체의 위치를 추정하고 추정 영역과 인식 물체 영상간의 생상 및 깊이 유사도를 판단한다. 최종적으로, 복잡 배경 효과를 최소화한 특징점 대응의 수, 색상 및 컬러 유사도를 고려하여 신뢰도를 측정하여 객체를 인식하게 되며, 이를 통해 복잡한 배경에서도 사용자와 객체간의 유연한 상호작용이 가능해진다.

A deep seabed integrated mining system consists of a mining vessel, a lifting pipe, a buffer station, a flexible pipe, and a mining robot for collecting manganese nodules. Recently, the concept of multiple mining robots was introduced to enhance to mining productivity. In this paper, the subsystem synthesis method was applied to the deep seabed integrated mining system in order to improve the efficiency of system analysis and to facilitate its extension to the system of multiple mining robots. Large deflections of the lifting and flexible pipe were considered by dividing a flexible pipe into several substructures, and applying flexible multibody dynamics to each substructure. Theoretical study has been carried out for the efficiency of the subsystem synthesis method for the integrated mining system, by comparing the arithmetic operational counts of the subsystem synthesis method with those of the conventional method.

The objective of this investigation is to develop a compliant track link model and apply this model to the multi-body dynamic analysis of high mobility tracked vehicles. Two major difficulties encountered in developing the compliant track models. The first one is that the integration step size must be kept small in order to maintain the numerical stability of the solution. This solution deals with high oscillatory signals resulting from the impulsive contact forces and stiff compliant elements to represent the joints between the track links. The second difficulty is due to the large number of the system equations of motion of the three dimensional multibody tracked vehicle model. This problem was sloved by decoupling the equations of motion of the chassis subsystem and the track subsystems. Recursive methods are used to obtain a minimum set of equations for the chassis subsystem. Several simulation scenarios were tested for the high mobility tracked vehicle including accelaeration, high speed cruising, braking, and turning motion in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the methods proposed in this investigation.

A mobile robot with various types of sensors and wireless camera is introduced. We show this mobile robot can detect objects well by combining the results of active sensors and image processing algorithm. First, to detect objects, active sensors such as infrared rays sensors and supersonic waves sensors are employed together and calculates the distance in real time between the object and the robot using sensor's output. The difference between the measured value and calculated value is less than 5%. We focus on how to detect a object region well using image processing algorithm because it gives robots the ability of working for human. This paper suggests effective visual detecting system for moving objects with specified color and motion information. The proposed method includes the object extraction and definition process which uses color transformation and AWUPC computation to decide the existence of moving object. Shape information and signature algorithm are used to segment the objects from background regardless of shape changes. We add weighing values to each results from sensors and the camera. Final results are combined to only one value which represents the probability of an object in the limited distance. Sensor fusion technique improves the detection rate at least 7% higher than the technique using individual sensor.

과거의 이동로봇 시스템은 완전한 자율주행이 주된 목표였으며 그때의 영상정보는 단지 모니터링을 하는 보조적인 수단으로 사용되었다. 그러나 지금은 이동 물체의 추적, 대상 물체의 인식과 판별, 특징 추출과 같은 다양한 응용분야에서 영상정보를 이용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다 또한 제어 측면에서는 전통적인 제어기법으로는 해결하기 힘들었던 여러 가지 비선형적인 제어를 지능제어 방법을 통하여 많이 해결하곤 하였다. 그러한 지능제어에서 신경망을 많이 사용하기도 한다. 최근에는 신경망의 학습에 많이 사용하는 방법 중 강화학습이 많이 사용되고 있다. 강화학습이란 동적인 제어평면에서 시행착오를 통해, 목적을 이루기 위해 각 상황에서 행동을 학습하는 방법이다. 그러므로 이러한 강화학습은 수많은 시행착오를 거쳐 그 대응 관계를 학습하게 된다. 제어에 사용되는 제어 파라메타는 어떠한 상태에 처할 수 있는 상태와 행동들, 그리고 상태의 변화, 또한 최적의 해를 구할 수 있는 포상알고리즘에 대해 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서 연구한 시스템은 비젼시스템과 Strong Arm 보드를 이용하여 대상물체의 색상과 형태를 파악한 후 실시간으로 물체를 추적할 수 있게 구성하였으며, 또한 물체 이동의 비선형적인 경향성을 강화학습을 통하여 물체이동의 비선형성을 보다 유연하게 대처하여 보다 안정하고 빠르며 정확하게 물체를 추적하는 방법을 실험을 통하여 제안하였다.

Recently, virtual test laboratory techniques have been widely used to reduce vehicle development costs and time. In this study, a virtual durability test process using multibody dynamics simulation and fatigue simulation is proposed. The flexible multibody model of the front half of a car suspension is solved using road loads that are measured from durability test courses such as a Belgian road. To verify the simulation results, the measured loads of components and simulation results are collated.

Using a flexible rotating beam test bed, experimental verification of a flexible multibody dynamic simulations for a rotating beam model has been carried out. The test bed consists of a flexible arm, harmonic driver reducer, AC servo motor and DSP board with PC. The mechanical ports of the test bed has been designed using 3D CAD program. For the simulation model, mass and moment of inertia of each part of the flexible rotating beam test bed are also obtained from 3D CAD model. In the flexible multibody dynamic simulations, the substructuring model has been established to capture nonlinear effects of the flexible rotating beam. Through the experimental verification, substructuring model provides better results than those from the linear model in the high speed rotation.

In order to find out relationship between hit probability and gun firing of a moving tank, a turret and flexible gun system model has been developed using a recursive flexible multibody dynamics. For a firing simulation model, nodal coordinates for a finite element model of a flexible gun have been employed to include transverse loads to the gun tube due to moving bullet and ballistic pressure. Modal coordinates are also used to represent the motion induced gun vibration before a firing occurs. An efficient switching technique from modal equations to nodal equation has been introduced for an entire gun firing simulation with a rotating turret.

In general, the Maglev vehicle is ran over the elevated guideway consisted of steel or concrete structure. Since the running behaviour of the vehicle is affected by the flexibility of the guideway, the consideration of the flexibility of guideway is needed for evaluation of dynamics of both the vehicle and guideway. A new technique based on flexible multibody dynamics is proposed to model the Maglev vehicle, levitation controller, and guideway into a coupled model. To verify the technique, an urban Maglev vehicle is analyzed using the technique and discussions are carried out.
