The importance of the robots has emerged as the means of minimizing the casualties in the future war, and, thus, the biomimetic robots mimicking the optimized organisms has been actively studied. The robot inspired lizard is suitable for reconnaissance and the surveillance in narrow areas. In this paper, we analyzed the locomotion of a lizard by motion capture system using the infrared markers. We attached 21 markers to the joints of the lizard. By considering the measured data, we analyzed the walking motion of the lizard which trots in a sprawled posture. Moreover, we proposed the 25 dof kinematic model which was able to reproduce the gait of the lizard faithfully. The model was verified by simulations.

As the population of elderly people and disabled people are increased, various demands for human welfare using robot system are raised. Especially autonomous rehabilitation system using robot could reduce the human effort while maintaining the its intrinsic efficacy. This study deals with mobile gait rehabilitation system which combined with BWS (Body Weight Support) for training of elderly and handicapped people who suffer the muscle force weakness of lower extremity. BWS which is designed by kinematic analysis of body lifting characteristics and walking guide system are integrated with main control system and wheeled platform. This mobile platform is operated by UCS (User Command System) and autonomous trajectory planning algorithm. Finally, through the EMG (Electromyography) signal measuring and its analysis for subject, performance and feasibility of developed system is verified.

이메일은 누구나 쉽게 정보를 교환할 수 있는 편리함 때문에 인터넷에서 가장 중요한 수단으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 순수한 의사소통의 수단이 아닌 스팸메일의 범람은 성인뿐만 아니라, 어린이 청소년에게도 무차별적으로 전송됨으로써 심각한 부작용을 낳고 있다. 본 논문은 점차 지능화 되는 신 유형의 음란 스팸메일로부터 청소년을 보호하기 위하여 새로운 방법의 음란메일 차단시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 기존의 스팸메일 차단시스템은 사용자가 직접 음란한 메일이라고 판단되는 메일에 대해 일일이 키워드를 설정하거나, 메일 내용 중에 텍스트만을 추출하여 패턴 매칭방법으로 분류하는 것이 대부분이었지만, 본 논문은 기존 방법의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 이미지 내 Skin-Color분포의 Human Detection 알고리즘과 웹 로봇 에이전트의 하이퍼링크 분석기법을 사용하였다. 성능 측정결과, 형태소 분석과 Human Detection 알고리즘을 병합하여 적용한 경우 성능 측정에서 90% 정도의 F-measure를 보였지만, 추가적으로 웹 로봇 에이전트의 하이퍼링크 분석기법을 병합하여 적용한 경우 97% 이상의 F-measure를 보이며, 신뢰성이 높은 음란스팸메일 차단 시스템을 구현할 수 있다는 것을 증명하였다.

We propose an efficient robot name registration and recognition method in order to enable a Call-and-Come service for home robots. In the proposed method for the name registration, the search space is first restricted by using monophone-based acoustic models. Second, the registration of robot names is completed by using triphone-based acoustic models in the restricted search space. Next, the parameter for the utterance verification is calculated to reduce the acceptance rate of false calls. In addition, acoustic models are adapted by using a distance speech database to improve the performance of distance speech recognition, Moreover, the location of a user is estimated by using a microphone array. The experimental result on the registration and recognition of robot names shows that the word accuracy of speech recognition is 98.3%.

This paper presents an observer to estimate the displacement of hydraulic cylinders of an underwater robot for harbour construction using a pressure sensor. In harbour constructing, we place heavy armour stones weighing over 2~3 tons on the surface of the bank to protect it from storming wave. This work typically done by a diver is difficult and dangerous so that we have developed Stone Diver which is the underwater robot for harbour construction. The robot needs a displacement sensors to control the position of hydraulic cylinders. The position sensors mounted outside the cylinders cause poor durability in construction site where shock and dust usually occur. However, the pressure sensor mounted inside a waterproof box improves the durability. Based on the dynamic parameters and the pressures in the cylinder, the observer estimates the cylinder's position. This paper presents the positional accuracy of the pressure based observer and the performance of the underwater robot to assemble the armour stones.

Mapping and navigation system based on certainty grids for an autonomous mobile robt operating in unknown and unstructured environment is described. The system uses sonar range data to build a map of robot's surroundings. The range data from sonar sensor are integrated into a probability map that is composed of two dimensional grids which contain the probabilities of being occupied by the objects in the environment. A Bayesian model is used to estimate the uncertainty of the sensor information and to update the existing probability map with new range data. The resulting two dimensional map is used for path planning and navigation. In this paper, the Bayesian updating model which was successfully simulated in our earlier work is implemented on a mobile robot and is shown to be valid in the real world through experiment. This paper also proposes a technique for reducing for reducing specular reflection problem of sonar system which seriousely deteriorates the map quality, and a new path planning method based on weighted distance, which enables the robot to efficiently navigate in an unknown area.

Using only laser range finder to detect the obstacles in an environment that contains transparent obstacles can not guarantee autonomous mobile robot from collision problem. To solve this problem, a mobile robot using laser range finder must be used additional sensor device such as sonar sensor that can detect the transparent obstacle. In this paper, a method is addressed to deal with the problem to detect the transparent obstacles within environment only by using laser range finder for mobile robot. In case the recognized transparent obstacle, the proposed algorithm is to localize the transparent obstacle to extract and process the reflected noise. This algorithm ensures autonomous of mobile robot only using laser range finder. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the real mobile robot and real laser range finder experiments with three case studies.

The objective of this study was to determine the teat locations and to develop a teat cup handling system operated by a robot. The results of this study were summarized as follows: 1. The teat cup attaching and detaching operation system developed in this study consists of a control computer, a five-dimensional robot(PERFORMER-MK2), a DC servo gripper, a robot controller, two CCD-cameras (WV-vp410), an image grabber board(DT3153), a model cow, and a teat cup unit. 2. The coordinates of teat locations were measured by a stereo image processing unit. The error ranges of teats coordinates measured were (x, y, z) = (0.83, 1.95, 0.81) mm. When those were transferred into the Robot Coordinate System(RCS) coordinate, the total error ranges measured were x = 0.9 mm, y = 2.0 mm, z = 0.9 mm. 3. The rates of success of teat cup attaching and detaching operation by a robot system were 91.5% on average; the operation time needed were 27.8 sec. Total working hours for the teat cup handling including image processing were 86.1 sec.

In this study, an automated cable non-destructive testing(NDT) system was developed to monitor the steel cables that are a core component of cable-stayed bridges. The magnetic flux leakage(MFL) method, which is suitable for ferromagnetic continuum structures and has been verified in previous studies, was applied to the cable inspection. A multi-channel MFL sensor head was fabricated using hall sensors and permanent magnets. A wheel-based cable climbing robot was fabricated to improve the accessibility to the cables, and operating software was developed to monitor the MFL-based NDT research and control the climbing robot. Remote data transmission and robot control were realized by applying wireless LAN communication. Finally, the developed element techniques were integrated into an MFL-based cable NDT system, and the field applicability of this system was verified through a field test at Seohae Bridge, which is a typical cable-stayed bridge currently in operation.
