Leisure bicycles are fabricated in a variety of ways these days. Although, the bicycles are designed and manufactured in a variety of ways by numerous companies, customer has a difficulty in gaining information of bicycle which suits them. Accordingly most of buyers purchase bicycle considering body size. Employing the method is one of the ways to decide bike size on the ground of standard body measurement. However, the method above to purchase bicycle is not appropriate for customer considering his/her body. The research mainly aims to design bicycle which allows buyer to adjust optimal design system by himself/herself considering his/her body size. In addition, a device employing fuzzy controller implemented bicycle run test. Using on the result, the research explored an optimal bicycle system which makes a decision whether a bicycle fits body of customer.

One of the most common applications of machine vision is quality inspections in automated production. In this study, a welding inspection system that is controlled by a PC and a PLC equipped with a multi-camera setup was developed. The system was designed to measure the primary dimensions, such as the length and width of the welding areas. The TCP/IP protocols and multi-threading techniques were used for parallel control of the optical components and physical distribution. A coaxial light was used to maintain uniform lighting conditions and enhance the image quality of the weld areas. The core image processing system was established through a combination of various algorithms from the OpenCV library. The proposed vision inspection system was fully validated for an actual weld production line and was shown to satisfy the functional and performance requirements.

본 연구는 조선 소조립, 판넬조립 등의 공정에서 발생되는 필렛 용접 부위의 용접 자동화를 위한 로봇 시스템 개발에 관한 연구이다. 조선등의 중공업 분야에서는 작업이 중량이고 대형임에 따라 로봇이 부재의 특정위치로 이동하여 작업해야 한다. 또한 작업대상의 형상이나 치수가 매번 변경됨에 따라 이에 능동적으로 대처할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 두 대의 로봇(2대x6축=12축)이 다축 문형 캔트리(4축)에 장착된 조선용 필렛용접 로봇 시스템(16축)을 개발하였다. 필렛용접부재를 중심으로 두 대의 로봇이 양쪽을 동시에 용접하는 방식으로 고속회전토치를 적용하여 위빙동작없이 원하는 용접각장(Leg Length)을 생성할 수 있다. 캔트리 시스템은 PC 기반의 별도 제어기로 구성하여 두 대의 로봇 제어기와 신호 입출력에 의해 동시동작이 가능하도록 하였으며, 작업장에 놓인 부재의 위치오차를 보장하기 위하여 시각센서를 적용하였다. 용접시작점의 위치보정을 위한 시작점 검출을 위해접촉센서(Touch Sensor)를 적용하였으며, 용접선 추적을 위해서 아크센서(Arc Sensor)를 적용하였다. 본 시스템 2000년 1월 제작 설치가 완료되어 현재 성능 테스트가 완료된 상태로 향후 생산현장에 적용될 계획이다.

최근 조선분야의 경우 생산원가의 절감, 품질의 고급화, 단순작업에 대한 근로기피 등의 이유로 로봇시스템 적용에 대한 필요성이 크게 대두되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 로봇 시스템의 교시방식이 교시-재생(Teaching-Playback)방식이어서 작업부재의 형상 및 치수가 매번 변경되는 중공업 분야에서는 적용이 불가능하였다. 본 연구에서는 조선용 아크용접 로봇을 위한 오프라인 프로그램밍(OLP: Off-Line Programming) 시스템을 개발하였다. 오프라인 프로그램밍 시스템의 경우 작업중인 로봇과는 상관없이 다음 부재에 대한 형상 데이터만을 이용하여 컴퓨터상에서 다음 작업프로그램을 미리 생성할 수 있으므로 기존의 온라인 교시-재생 방식의 교시시간의 과다라는 문제를 극복할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 강교 판넬 및 조선 소조립용으로 개발 중인 아크용접용 로봇 시스템을 위한 오프라인 프로그래밍 시스템을 개발하였다. CAD 데이터나 OLP의 모델링 기능으로 작업부재를 형상한 후 미리 데이터베이스화 되어 있는 자료를 검색하여 부위별 작업매크로 확보를 위하여 실제 로봇 시스템을 이용한 작업테스트를 수행하였다. 개발된 오프라인 프로그래밍 시스템은 기능보완 후 당사 아크용접용 로봇시스템에 적용될 계획이다.

초정밀 공작기계의 구조물은 Sub-micron의 운동정밀도를 갖추어야 초정밀기계로서의 기능이 유지된다. 특히 가공기의 베드구조물은 구동요소간의 상대 위치를 정.동적으로 규정 해주는 중요한 기본구조물이므로 고강성, 고쇠감성,열안정성, 경년변화에 대한 치수의 안정성등의 성능이 요구되며, 이를위해 공간적인 형상 설계 및 구조재의 선정에 고도의 기술이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 낮은 고유진동수의 특성을 갖으면서 하중의 설치높이의 변화에서도 고유진동수가 일정히 유지되고 또한 구조물의 중심변화에 대한 수평조절이 가능하면서 자동제어가 가능한 공기스프링을 초정밀 가공기의 방진시스템으로 활용방안에 대하여 연구하였다.

In this paper, we suggest a dimensional controller to produce a different thickness strip without adding production facilities at the same steel. We describe the model for the non-linear thickness and speed setup, and drive a variation of the speed and thickness with Talyor expansion. The control algorithm is composed of 8 steps and the transient condition is added in order to maintain a mass flow between stands. A simulator is developed in order to verify the algorithm, and includes a non-linear rolling model, the tension model, AGC model, the disturbance model, and so on. From the simulation results by disturbances, we show that the thickness, tension and looper angle are converged to the set condition when we change the rolling conditions.

A system design technique of automatic thickness measurement and defect inspection system, which measures the thickness of the ALC(Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete) block and inspects the defect on a realtime basis is proposed. The image processing system was established with a CCD camera, an image grabber, and a personal computer without using assembled measurement equipment. The image obtained by this system was analyzed by a devised algorithm, specially designed for the enhanced measurement accuracy. For the realization of the proposed algorithm, the preprocessing method that can be applied to overcome uneven lighting environment, an enhanced edge decision method using 8 edge-pairs with irregular and rough surface, the unit length decision method in uneven condition with rocking objects, and the curvature calibration method of camera using a constructed grid are developed. The experimental results, show that the required measurement accuracy specification is sufficiently satisfied using our proposed method.

A mechanical actuator to generate adjustable force ants its active control algorithm to minimize ship structural vibration are developed. The algorithms comprise initial algorithm which determines optimal phase and force magnitude of the actuator using the variation of vibration response according to the phase difference between the main engine and the actuator, and regulating algorithm which performs continuous optimal control to track the change of the engine speed. This control system can be applied without any prior identification for the dynamic characteristics of the controlled structure. In the control experiments for the deckhouse structural vibration of a 300,000 DWT crude oil carrier and a 2,270 TEU container carrier, the developed system showed good performance to reduce the vibration levels to $1/2{\sim}1/6$ of the uncontrolled levels.

This paper presents a new possibility of calculating optimal control for large scale which consist of non-linear dynamic sub-systems using two level hierarchical structures method. And the proposed method is based on the idea of block pulse transformation to simplify the algorithm and its calculation. This algorithm used an expansion around the equilibrium point of the system to fix the second and higher order terms. These terms are compensated for iteratively at the second level by providing a prediction for the states and controls which form of a part of the higher order terms. In this new approach the quadratic penalty terms are not used in the cost function. This allows convergence over a longer time horizon and also provides faster convergence. And the method is applied to the problem of optimization of the synchronous machine. Results show that the new approach is superior to conventional numerical method or other previous algorithm.

Agent, as a independent module, exchanges knowledge & information which are classified to their characteristics according to shared protocol. i.e. Agent Communication Language(AC1,). Fuzzy inference system represents the experiential knowledge as li~~guisticco ntrol rule and enables us to execute the knowledge using fuzzy inference. This study tries connecting fuzzy inference system with agent-based system and inspects applicability to hull form design through inferring principle dimension and hull form coefficients.
