This paper introduces the design of a bridge transport system with a telescopic tube for positioning equipment to perform remote handling tasks in a radioactive facility. It consists of an extensible and retractable telescopic tube assembly for z-direction motion, a cabling system for management of power and signal cables, and a trolley system for transverse motion and accommodating servo drives. The working environment for the bridge transport system with the telescopic tube requires strict geometrical constraints, including a short height, short telescopic tube length when retracted, and a long stroke. These constraints were met by solving a nonlinear programming problem involving the optimal dimensions. This paper introduces a cabling system for effective management of cables with changeable lengths to accommodate telescopic motions and a selection guide for servo drives that are sufficient to drive the system.

A Bridge Transported Servo Manipulator (BTSM) for Advanced spent fuel Conditioning Process (ACP) has been developed to overcome the limitation of access that is a drawback of Mechanical master-slave manipulators (MSMs) for the equipment maintenance. Wire-driven mechanisms have been adopted to increase the handling capacity to weight. The main disadvantage of the wire driven mechanism is that if one link is in motion, other links can be affected because wires and links are coupled. In this paper, the relationship between pulleys and links are formiliarized to overcome this drawbacks, Derived equations are proven and analyzed through experiments.

A bridge transported servo manipulator (BTSM) system for the advanced spent fuel conditioning process (ACP) has been developed to overcome the limitation of access, which is a drawback of mechanical master-slave manipulators (MSM) for the equipment maintenance. The servo manipulator is composed of a slave manipulator attached to the telescoping tubesets equipped with the overhead bridge installed at a hot cell and a master manipulator installed at an out-of-hot cell. Each manipulator has 7 degrees-of-freedom (DOF): a body rotation, an upper-arm tilt, a lower-arm tilt, a lower-arm rotation, a wrist pan & tilt, and a grasp motion. A wire-driven mechanism for a lower-arm rotation, a wrist pan and tilt, and a grasp motion of the manipulator has been adopted to increase the handling capacity compared to the manipulator weight and decrease the friction. The main disadvantage of the wire-driven mechanism is that if one link is in motion, other links can be affected. In this paper, the transmission characteristics among the wire-driven links have been formulated to overcome this drawback. The unexpected behaviors are confirmed by analyses of transmission characteristics as well as experiments. Also, the experimental results show that the unexpected behaviors are greatly decreased by the proposed compensation equations.

본 논문은 현실감 있는 영상 기반 환경 모델의 생성을 위해 영상 분할 기반 환경 모델링 방법을 제안한다. 입력 영상을 환경 특성에 따라 바닥면, 천정(하늘), 주변 물체들로 분할하고 분할된 바닥면이나 천정을 참조 평면으로 설정하고 주변 물체들의 깊이값을 계산함으로써 상세한 환경 모델을 얻을 수 있다. 영상 분할 환경 모델링 방법은 환경 맵에 적용하기 용이하며 환경의 특성에 따른 깊이값 추출 방법으로 손쉽게 환경 모델링이 가능하다. 또한, 시점이 이동되고 시차를 갖는 환경의 표현이 가능하다.
