안전 대응 훈련 기술은 플랜트와 같은 위험한 작업현장에서 조업자 또는 초기 대응자가 예상치 못한 사고에 대해 능동적이고 신속한 대처가 가능하도록 계획적인 사전 대응 훈련을 수행할 수 있는 시스템 기술이다. 훈련 시나리오의 가장 기본적이며 빈번하나 과업은 특정 지점으로의 이동과 원하는 시설물을 탐색하는 네비게이션 임무라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 작은 크기를 가지는 단방향 트레드밀의 장점과 선회 보행이 가능한 전방향 트레드밀의 장점을 일부 결합하여, 작은 각도 범위의 좌우 선회 이동을 지원할 수 있는 트레드밀 인터페이스의 제어를 위한 기술개발 과정과 결과를 소개 하고자 한다.

Determination of sound source characteristics such as: sound volume, direction and distance to the source is one of the important techniques for unmanned systems like autonomous vehicles, robot systems and AI speakers. There are multiple methods of determining the direction and distance to the sound source, e.g., using a radar, a rider, an ultrasonic wave and a RF signal with a sound. These methods require the transmission of signals and cannot accurately identify sound sources generated in the obstructed region due to obstacles. In this paper, we have implemented and evaluated a method of detecting and identifying the sound in the audible frequency band by a method of recognizing the volume, direction, and distance to the sound source that is generated in the periphery including the invisible region. A cross-shaped based sound source recognition algorithm, which is mainly used for identifying a sound source, can measure the volume and locate the direction of the sound source, but the method has a problem with "blind spots". In addition, a serious limitation for this type of algorithm is lack of capability to determine the distance to the sound source. In order to overcome the limitations of this existing method, we propose a QRAS-based algorithm that uses rectangular-shaped technology. This method can determine the volume, direction, and distance to the sound source, which is an improvement over the cross-shaped based algorithm. The QRAS-based algorithm for the OSSD uses 6 AITDs derived from four microphones which are deployed in a rectangular-shaped configuration. The QRAS-based algorithm can solve existing problems of the cross-shaped based algorithms like blind spots, and it can determine the distance to the sound source. Experiments have demonstrated that the proposed QRAS-based algorithm for OSSD can reliably determine sound volume along with direction and distance to the sound source, which avoiding blind spots.

자동차를 위한 전방향(omni-directional) 감시 시스템, 로봇의 시각 역할 등 다양한 비전 시스템에서 카메라가 장착되어 사용되고 있다. AVM(Around View Monitoring) 시스템에서 그리드 패턴의 코너를 검출하기 위해서는 먼저, 광각 카메라에서 획득한 비선형적인 방사 왜곡을 가진 영상의 왜곡 보정 작업을 수행하여야 한다. 이후에 왜곡이 보정된 영상 내부의 그리드 패턴 각 코너들을 자동으로 검출하기 위해서 Sub-Pixel, 허프 변환 등의 여러 가지 방법이 있으며 현재 출시된 AVM 시스템에 직선이나 교점 및 코너 검출을 위해 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 왜곡 보정 영상을 입력 영상으로 받아 그리드 패턴의 코너를 자동으로 검출하는 프로그램을 설계한다. 제안하는 코너 검출 방법을 직접 구현하여 성능을 평가함으로써 AVM 시스템에서 코너를 검출하는 부분에 적용시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

In this paper, a mechanism of an omni-directional personal mobility which can drive diagonally is proposed. Mobility is a prerequisite involved in basic human life and activities. Personal mobility vehicle is a new mobility method which overcome the limits of automobiles. However, personal mobilities with four wheeled structure still have limitations. The proposed personal mobility vehicle can overcome the limitations of mobility because its rear wheels can be steered omni-directionally. In addition, the handicapped can drive it through a narrow road such as an alleyway or corridor and avoid obstacles on the traveling route. The proposed mechanism of personal mobility and the steering performance are tested by experiments, and the feasibility of diagonal driving is verified.

기존 데이터베이스 시스템에서 사용되는 회복 기법들은 시스템 파손 시 빠른 회복을 지원하기 위해서 물리적 로깅(physical logging)을 사용한다. 그러나 이런 기법들을 클라이언트/서버 환경에 그대로 적용할 경우에는 여러 가지 문제점이 발생된다. 물리적 기법의 경우에는 로그 분석 시 before-image와 after-image의 중복이 발견된다는 문제점이 있으며, 기존의 대부분 회복 기법들은 시스템 파손 시 전방향(forward)으로 로그를 분석함으로써 불필요한 회복 동작이 존재할 수 있다. 또한 시스템 회복 시 로그 접근 횟수의 증가로 인해 회복 속도가 늦어지는 문제점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 이런 문제점을 해결하고 클라이언트/서버 환경에 적합한 회복 기법을 제안하기 위해 중복된 before-image를 제거하고 재수행 전용 로그 레코드(redo-only log record)만을 로그에 기록함으로써 로깅 오버헤드를 감소시키면서 로그 분석 시간을 감소시킨 역방향 로그 분석 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 로그 분석 시 유지해야 하는 자료구조의 오버헤드를 최소화했다. 마지막으로 제안된 기법과 기존의 기법을 비교 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 DSP (Digital Signal Processing)를 이용한 차량용 레이다 수평안정화장치 구동 전략을 제안한다. 지대공 유도 미사일용 차량용 레이다는 전방향으로 일정 속도로 회전하며 감시정찰 임무를 수행한다. 수평안정화장치는 4세트의 수평구동모듈을 이용하여 차량 플랫폼의 수평을 유지하여 레이다의 안정적인 회전을 가능하게 한다. 이를 실시간으로 구현하기 위해 임베디드시스템인 DSP를 적용하여 경사도를 측정하고, 구동모듈에 구동 명령을 인가하여 수평을 유지한다. 수평구동모터는 감속기를 통하여 모터 토크를 증가시켜 수평 안정 동작을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 수평구동모듈 1세트를 모델링하여 수평안정화장치를 축소 구현한다. 제안하는 구동 전략의 유효성은 시뮬레이션으로 입증한다.

General RFID system has assumed that the communication channel between reader and back-end database is secure channel. However, the reader can be communicated with the database through insecure channel like the communication channel between the reader and the tag according to application environment. In this paper, we propose a new secure RFID mutual authentication protocol based on open network channel which assumed that all communication channels between the database, the reader and the tag are insecure communication channels. The proposed protocol uses a secure one-way hash function to provide authentication and integrity against all communication messages which exchanged on the open channels. In addition, we designed that the proposed protocol can provide forward secrecy by performing the database and the tag update their old secret key with a new secret key after finished mutual authentication.

A new method for the catadioptric omnidirectional stereo vision with single camera is presented in this paper. The proposed method uses a concave lens with a convex mirror. Since the optical part of the proposed method is simple and commercially available, the resultant omnidirectional stereo system becomes versatile and cost-effective. The closed-form solution for 3D distance computation is presented based on the simple optics including the reflection and the reflection of the convex mirror and the concave lens. The compactness of the system and the simplicity of the image processing make the omnidirectional stereo system appropriate for real-time applications such as autonomous navigation of a mobile robot or the object manipulation. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed method, an experimental prototype is implemented.

In this paper, a ranging system is proposed that is able to measure 360 degree omnidirectional distances to environment objects. The ranging system is based on the structured light imaging system with catadioptric omnidirectional mirror. In order to make the ranging system robust against environmental illumination, efficient structured light image processing algorithms are developed; sequential integration of difference images with modulated structured light and radial search based on Bresenham line drawing algorithm. A dedicated FPGA image processor is developed to speed up the overall image processing. Also the distance equation is derived in the omnidirectional imaging system with a hyperbolic mirror. It is expected that the omnidirectional ranging system is useful for mapping and localization of mobile robot. Experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the proposed ranging system.

In this paper, development of an omni-directional mobile robot with rocker-bogie link structure is addressed. The overall mobile robot system consists of the robot mechanism with embedded control architecture, wireless communication with host graphic monitoring system, and the joy stick tole-controller. In the cluttered environment with various sizes of obstacles, the omni-directionality and the traversality are required for a mobile robot, so that the robot call go around or climb over the obstacles according to the size. The mobile robot mechanism developed in this paper has both of the omni-directionality and the traversality by 4 steerable driving wheels and the 2 additional passive omni-directional wheels linked with the rocker-bogie structure. The kinematic modeling for the mobile robot is described based on the well-known Sheth-Uicker convention and the instantaneous coordinate system.
