제품의 소재를 미리 테입 형태로 만들어 단면의 경계면을 따라 레이저로 절단하여 적층하는 방식은 제품의 표면에 계단 모양의 무늬가 생기므로 정밀한 제품을 제작하는데 어려움이 있었다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 단면의 경계선을 절단할 때 수직으로 절단하는 것이 아니라 경사면을 따라 절단하여 전체적인 제품의 옆면이 부드럽게 연결되는 경사절단형 임의형상가공시스템을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 레이저 5축 경사절단기를 개발하였는데, x축과 y축은 상용화되어 있는 x-y table을 이용하였고 z축은 한 개의 z축 이송대를 이용하였다. 롤과 피치를 위하여는 서보모터 두 개를 이용하여 작업대가 회전할 수 있도록 하였다. 이와 같은 레이저 5축 경사절단기를 개발함으로써 시편의 어느 위치에서든 어느 각도로도 절단이 가능하게 할 수 있었다.

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.

In this paper, we introduce a case study of developing a miniature humanoid robot which has 16 degrees of freedom, 42 cm heights, and 1.5kg weights. For easy implimentation, the integrated RC-servo motors are adopted as actuators and a digital camera is equipped on its head. So, it can transmit vision data to a remote host computer via wireless modem. The robot can perform staircase walking as well as straight walking and turning to any direction. The user-interface program running on the host computer contains a robot graphic simulator and a motion editor which are used to generate and verify the robot's walking motion. The experimental results show that the robot has various walking capability including straight walking, turning, and stairs walking.

A novel Solid Freeform Fabrication System, which makes prototype by cutting tapes at the boundary of object and accumulating the tapes, has been developed. In order to overcome the staircase shape at the surface of prototype, the laser beam is irradiated tangent to the surface. Five axis cutting system and the tangent cutting trajectory generation algorithm have been developed.

Radial distance sensors are widely used for surveying and autonomous navigation. It is necessary to train the operation principle of these sensors and how to apply them. Although commercialization of radial distance sensor continues to be cost-effective through lower performance, but it is still expensive for educational purposes. In this paper, we propose a distance sensor module with object tracking using radial array of low cost phototransistor which can be used for educational robot. The proposed method is able to detect the position of a fast moving object immediately by arranging the phototransistor in the range of 180 degrees and improve the sensing angle range and track the object by the sensor rotation using the servo motor. The scan speed of the proposed sensor is 50~200 times faster than the commercial distance sensor, thus it can be applied to a high performance educational mobile robot with 1ms control loop.

A Mobile Radio Wave Measurement System (MRWMS)is a vehicle-mounted system designed to be operating in a single mission. The mission characteristic for mobile measurement requires mobility. For this, we must consider the arrangement and embedded method of MRWMS's antennas. In this paper, we described the measurement method design of direction detecting accuracy for MRWMS and designed the direction finding antenna mast capable of rotating itself by using a slip ring without turntable for Direction Finding (DF) accuracy test. As we removed the dependency of a limited local area by designing a measurement method of direction detecting accuracy, Equipment Under Test (EUT) zero-Adjustment and mounted process shortened. So, we the reduced production costs. We expect an improved cable loss value by shortening the RF cable length in accordance with our design. In addition, due to the same phenomenon, the entire system is lighter and the mobility is improved.

This study was aimed to develop an instrument for real-time measurement of fluid conductance and to investigate the hydrodynamics of dentinal fluid. The instrument consisted of three parts; (1) a glass capillary and a photo sensor for detection of fluid movement, (2) a servo-motor, a lead screw and a ball nut for tracking of fluid movement, (3) a rotary encoder and software for data processing. To observe the blocking effect of dentinal fluid movement, oxalate gel and self-etch adhesive agent were used. BisBlock (Bisco) and Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray) were applied to the occlusal dentin surface of extracted human teeth. Using this new device, the fluid movement was measured and compared between before and after each agent was applied. The instrument was able to measure dentinal fluid movement with a high resolution (0.196 nL) and the flow occurred with a rate of 0.84 to 15.2 nL/s before treatment. After BisBlock or Clearfil SE Bond was used, the fluid movement was decreased by 39.8 to 89.6%.

In this paper, we propose a walking aid system that guides route to visually impaired people in order to recognize uncertain obstacles based on tactile stimulation. The proposed system is composed of the touch-based obstacle detection module, the obstacle height detection module, and the route guidance algorithms. The touch-based obstacle detection module detects each obstacle, which is located at left, right, and front of a visually impaired person by stimulating his thumb with the rotational force of the servomotor. The obstacle height detection module integrates detected data by the linear arrangement of ultrasonic sensors to identify the height of an obstacle about 3 of-phase(i.e., high, medium, low). The proposed route guidance algorithm guides an optimized path to the visually impaired person by updating his current position information based on the signal of the built-in GPS receiver in smartphone. In addition, the route guidance algorithm delivers information with speech to a visually impaired person through Bluetooth commuination in the developed route guidance app. The proposed system can create a path to avoid the obstacles by recognizing the placed situation of the obstacles with exploring the uncertain path.
