무인 편의점이나 키오스크와 같은 기술이 급속히 발달하며 자립적인 쇼핑을 원하는 시각장애인들에게 실질적인 시스템의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 기존 애플리케이션은 유통기한 등의 상품의 부가 정보를 얻을 수 없고, 매장 전체의 위치 정보를 알고 이동하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 라즈베리파이와 아두이노를 활용하여 음성인식을 통한 목적지 설정 기능, 라인트래킹을 통한 카트 이동 및 장애물 감지에 의한 카트 제어 기능, 상품명과 유통기한 및 칼로리와 알레르기 유발성분 같은 부가 정보를 읽어주는 기능을 개발한다. 이 연구로 도출된 방법을 통해 시각장애인의 안전한 오프라인 쇼핑 보조기기 및 상품 정보를 알려주는 애플리케이션을 제작한다.

In this paper, an auxiliary device was implemented to help blind people more safely from obstacles or risk factors while walking. The ultrasonic sensors detect obstacles in the front, so that the noise gap and the vibration intensity of the buzzer can be heard differently by distance and angle, and so the situation can be perceived by pedestrians. When the ambient light becomes darker than the light intensity set using the CdS resistance value of the light sensor, the LED automatically turns on, makes it easier for pedestrians to recognize the position of the auxiliary device through buzzer if the pedestrian misses the aid using the gyro sensor's slope. Moreover, the location and situation of the blind were transmitted to the caregiver to check safety and behavior using GPS and Bluetooth.

In the field of automatic door, the infrared rays and microwave sensor are much used as the important components in charge of the motor's operation control of open and close through the incoming signal of object recognition. In case of existing system that the sensor of the infrared rays and microwave are applied to the automatic door, there are many malfunctions by the infrared rays and visible rays of the sun. Because the automatic doors are usually installed outside of building in state of exposure. The environmental change by temperature difference occurs the noise of object recognition detection signal. With this problem, the hardware fault that the detection sensor is unable to follow the object moving rapidly within detection area makes the sensing blind spot. This fault should be improved as soon as possible. Because It influences safety of passengers who use the automatic doors. This paper conducted an experiment to improve the detection area by installing extra ultrasonic sensor besides existing detection sensor. So, this paper realize the computing circuit and detection algorithm which can correctly and rapidly process the access route of objects moving fast and the location area of fixed obstacles by applying detection and advantages of ultrasonic signal to the automatic doors. With this, It is proved that the automatic door applying ultrasonic sensor is improved detection area of blind spot sensing through field test and improvement plan is proposed.

The researches on driver assistance systems that can prevent an accident have been actively performed due to social issues of traffic accidents with development of vehicle industry in recent. It is required for researchers to develope systems which assist driver's perception and judgment when considering that over 70% of traffic accidents occur by drivers' carelessness and 75% of the total accidents occur at the speed of less 29km per hour. In this paper, we implemented a front and rear vehicle monitoring system that monitors distance in real-time from a vehicle to obstacles at the low-speed or back-ward driving. The implemented system consists of a high angle ultrasonic sensor with distance detection of 10m and 10-degree angle, a wide angle ultrasonic sensor with the detection distance of 3m and a 180-degree, and a ATmega128 chip of ATmel company.

This paper is about intelligent hexapod robot for the support walking of the aged person. The robot using various sensors and small camera has various abilities of forward backward walking, turing left or right, control the speed of walking, avoiding the obstacles and detecting risky situation of fire or gas. To let the aged feel soft and safe walking, we used special servo motor and developed hexapod walking mechanism and effective algorithm.

The purpose of this study was to propose a functional improvement solution of integrated control board for safe driving of Smart electric wheelchair for a single person. In the case of existing electric wheelchair products in Korea and elsewhere, safety-related functions or devices are not included in many cases. Therefore, the incidence of electric wheelchair-related accidents is continuously increasing in the current situation in which the elderly and the disabled people have been continuously increased. However, currently only high and middle-priced products are equipped with basic safety devices in electric wheelchairs, so low-priced products require safety related functions. Therefore, sensing obstacles that the user can not recognize while moving an electric wheelchair and detecting automatically the terrain change to control the motor by developing a smart control platform. This provides an integrated control board that can be applied to various electric wheelchairs for more stable driving.

We present an autonomous entertainment dolphin robot system based on ubiquitous sensor networks(USN). Generally, It is impossible to apply to USN and GPS in underwater bio-mimetic robots. But An Entertainment dolphin robot which presented in this paper operates on the water not underwater. Navigation of the underwater robot in a given area is based on GPS data and the acquired position information from deployed USN motes with emphasis on user interaction. Body structures, sensors and actuators, governing microcontroller boards, and swimming and interaction features are described for a typical entertainment dolphin robot. Actions of mouth-opening, tail splash or water blow through a spout hole are typical responses of interaction when touch sensors on the body detect users' demand. Dolphin robots should turn towards people who demand to interact with them, while swimming autonomously. The functions that are relevant to human-robot interaction as well as robot movement such as path control, obstacle detection and avoidance are managed by microcontrollers on the robot for autonomy. Distance errors are calibrated periodically by the known position data of the deployed USN motes.

로봇을 개발함에 있어 많이 겪는 어려움 중 하나는 열악한 시뮬레이션 환경 및 소프트웨어 개발이다. Microsoft사(社)의 MSRDS(Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio)는 3D시뮬레이션 환경과 로봇 구동을 위한 각종 표준화된 서비스들을 지원함으로써 이러한 문제점들을 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 원자력 발전소의 중 저준위 폐기물 저장창고 검사 로봇을 대상으로 MSRDS를 이용하여 3D 시뮬레이션 및 온라인 피드백 제어를 수행하였다. 로봇은 사륜으로 이루어져 있으며, 주행 환경 확인을 위한 카메라, 장애물 감시용 LRF(Laser Range Finer)센서, 주변 환경 감지를 위한 온도센서, 습도센서 및 MSRDS가 장착된 산업용 3D가 탑재되어 있다. MSRDS의 제어신호는 이벤트로 생성되어 3D 시뮬레이션 렌더링 시간과 동기화되며, Brick 서비스를 통해 전송된다. 피드백은 10ms 주기로 LRF 센서, Motor 엔코더 값을 받아 3D 시뮬레이션에 반영된다. 본 논문에서는 MSRDS의 시뮬레이션 및 실제 로봇과의 동기화 방식을 제시하며 구동 실험으로 검증하였다.
