This paper is presented to study the error minimization of angular velocity for AGV(autonomous ground vehicle). The error minimization of angular velocity is related to localization technique which is the most important technique for autonomous vehicle. Accelerometer, yaw gyro and electronic compass have been used to measure angular velocity. And methods for error minimization of angular velocity have been actively studied through probabilistic methods and sensor fusion for AGVs. However, those sensors still occure accumulated error by mathematical error, system characters of each sensor, and computational cost are increased greatly when several sensor are used to correct accumulated error. Therefore, this paper studies about error minimization of angular velocity that just uses encoder and gyro. To experiment, we use autonomous vehicle which is made by ourselves. In experimental result, we verified that the localization error of proposed method has even less than the localization errors which we just used encoder and gyro respectively.

A GEO satellite launched by Arian 5 ECA launcher will be located in a transfer orbit where it requires several Apogee burn maneuvers to reach the target orbit. To obtain the required performance of Apogee burn maneuvers, a calibration of gyro drift error needs to be performed before each maneuver. In this paper, a unique gyro calibration scheme which is applied to COMS is described and the calibration error budget analysis is performed.

Flexure measurement of ring laser gyro was investigated by using an interferometer. A two-beam interferometer of Fiezo-fringe pattern obtained the flexure angle in 1-gravity acceleration and the higher acceleration environments. These environments were made with the addition of dummy mass to the ring laser gyro axis. The flexure angle change for 1-gravity acceleration change was measured as 2.37 arcsec/g with low repeatability error of 0.01 arcsec/g. The laser navigation system consisting of 3 flexure-reduced ring laser gyros showed the improvement of flexure error.

이동로봇은 주행성을 가지며 설정된 이동 경로에 따라 목적지까지 자율적으로 이동하기 위해서는 이동로봇의 실제 위치에 대한 정확한 정보가 확보되어야 한다. 정보확보를 위해서 보통 엔코더, 자이로센서, 비젼센서, 레이저 거리등의 센서를 주로 사용한다. 본 연구에서 주행중인 이동로봇의 위치는 상대센서인 엔코더를 통해 측정된 운동변화량과 출발점에서 이동로봇의 위치로부터 자기유도 주행방법에 의해 계산된다. 이들 상대센서는 이동로봇의 실제 이동에 따라 주행거리 및 주행 방향 변화를 항상 측정할 수 있으므로, 전체 주행구간에 걸쳐 이동로봇의 위치를 연속적으로 측정할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나, 상대센서 측정값에 발생된 오차가 위치 평가값이 연속적으로 누적되므로 실제 위치에 대한 오차가 발생하는 단점이 있다. 즉, 바닥의 미끄럼, 요철, 로봇의 요동(Vibration)등 큰 오차의 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 위치를 직접 추정하지 않고 엔코드에서 나온 위치오차, Heading 오차, 자체 엔코드오차 그리고, 자이로 오차와 지자기 센서 오차를 Extended Kalman Filter를 통해 추정하여 이 오차를 다시 위치 계산과 Heading에 되돌려 줌으로서 오차를 보정하는 방법을 제시한다.

Recently, Autonomous vehicles are getting hot attention. Amazon, the biggest online shopping service provider is developing a delivery system that uses drones. This kinds of platforms are need accurate attitude information for navigation. In this paper, a structure design of AHRS using low-cost inertia sensor is proposed. To estimate attitudes a Kalman filter which uses a quaternion based dynamic model, bias-removed measurements from MEMS Gyro, raw measurements from MEMS accelerometer and magnetometer, is designed. To remove bias from MEMS Gyro, an additional Kalman filter which uses raw Gyro measurements and attitude estimates, is designed. The performance of implemented AHRS is compared with high price off-the-shelf 3DM-GX3-25 AHRS from Microstrain. The Gyro bias was estimated within 0.0001[deg/s]. And from the estimated attitude, roll and pitch angle error is smaller than 0.2 and 0.3 degree. Yaw angle error is smaller than 6 degree.

The ship-borne mobile down range telemetry antenna system having 4.6 m reflector antenna and 3-axis mounting structure at S-band requires the precise pointing accuracy at sea for the launch mission. Using the LEO satellites tracking, a method to determine and verify the antenna pointing and tracking performance, and to find the pointing bias which dominantly contributes to the pointing inaccuracy, is presented. Based upon the tests conducted on the Jeju sea and Pacific sea, the pointing bias is determined and its origin is also identified as the drift of the heading angle of the gyrocompass. The applied systematic correction taking into account the pointing bias, and the achieved improvement of the pointing accuracy are shown. Thanks to the correction, it is presented that this antenna tracked the launcher(KSLV-I) stably within the required pointing accuracy in the following KSLV-I third launch.

관성항법장치는 관성항법장치를 구성하는 관성센서인 가속도계 및 자이로의 오차요소에 의해 수평축 항법오차는 슐러주기를 가지고 서서히 증가하는 반면에 수직축 오차는 기하급수적으로 증가하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 관성항법장치를 장시간 운용하는 경우에는 비관성 보조센서를 이용하여 관성항법장치의 수직축 항법오차에 대한 보정을 반드시 수행하여야 한다. 관성항법장치의 수직축 항법오차를 보정하기 위한 비관성 보조센서의 일종인 기압고도계는 계측된 대기압과 모델링 된 대기압을 비교하여 항체의 고도를 측정하는 방법을 이용하기 때문에 항체의 자세변화 등에 매우 민감하고 대기압 측정오차에 의해 매우 큰 진폭의 잡음 및 바이어스가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 및 시험을 통하여 기압 고도계의 잡음 및 바이어스 오차 성분에 의한 baro-inertial 고도루프의 성능분석 결과를 제시하고 기압고도계 잡음에 둔감한 INS/기압고도계 칼만필터의 설계 결과를 제시한다.

This paper explores a real-time system implementation to couple tightly StrapDown Inertial Navigation System(SDINS) and Global Positioning System(GPS) mounted on the aircraft. When implementing the SDINS/GPS coupled system in real-time processor, we have to deliberate SDINS's unique characteristics based on the ring laser gyro, and besides, lever-arm, measurements, and error compensation method. The novel modeling method is applied to system the misalignment error term of gyro to estimate the cumulative heading attitude errors while the aircraft banking to turn repeatedly. Captive Flight Test results show that the proposed modeling strategy has good performance.

Generally, the sinusoidal cavity dither is adopted to ring laser gyroscope for eliminating the lock-in which is non-linear effect at the small rotation input. Despite this method, there are some remained errors which are generated at the dither turnaround, and those errors produce random walk which is a general character of a ring laser gyroscope. As one of the numerous research results for compensating these errors, there is a special lock-in compensation method which is the method of error estimation and compensation by comparing the beat signal periods of before and after the dither turnarounds. In this paper, by ring laser gyroscope modeling and numerical analysis, we verified the theoretical validity and confirmed the effectiveness of this method in expectation of the possible beat signal measurement time resolution. As a result, we confirmed the random walk decreases from a-half to a-third by this lock-in compensation method. So, it is expected to be a remarkable method for reducing the INS alignment time.

스트랩다운 관성항법장치에 사용되는 대표적인 광학식 자이로인 링레이저 자이로(Ring Laser Gyro ; RLG)는 회전체가 없어 기존의 기계식 자이로가 가지고 있던 g-sensitive 오차가 발생하지 않지만 RLG 내부에 부착되어 링레이저를 반사시키는 기능을 하는 반사경의 산란에 의해 일정 크기의 작은 입력 각속도를 측정하지 못하는 lock-in이 발생한다. 이러한 lock-in을 제거하기 위해 정현파 진동을 RLG 몸체에 인가하며 이 진동에 의하여 자이로 출력에 랜덤워크 성분이 유발되어 RLG 성능저하의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 RLG 랜덤워크에 의한 관성항법장치의 초기정렬 기법에 따른 초기정렬 성능을 분석하고 이에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 제시한다.
