Based on recent advances in technology, many robots are developed and they are used in a hazardous environment such as military operation, fire, and building collapse and so on. Among them, reconnaissance robot should be able to perform various missions which people can not do. So it needs the capability of moving with hiding its position on rough terrain, overcoming obstacles, and guaranteeing its efficiency of reconnaissance. For this reason there are in progress of researching biomimetic robots. Therefore in this paper we proposed robot mechanism, two modules based on the screw and wheel mechanism which mimic snake, and the spiral climbing method was considered for overcoming the situation when moving on the trees.

Accurate kinematic parameters of mobile robots are essential because inaccurate kinematic model produces considerable uncertainties on its odometry and control. Especially, kinematic parameters of caster type mobile robots are important due to their complex kinematic model. Despite the importance of accurate kinematic parameters for caster type mobile robots, few research dealt with the calibration of the kinematic model. Previous study proposed a calibration method that can only calibrate double-wheeled caster type mobile robot and requires direct-measuring of robot center point and distance between casters. This paper proposes a calibration method based on geometric approach that can calibrate single-wheeled caster type mobile robot with two or more casters, does not require direct-measuring, and can successfully acquire all kinematic parameters required for control and odometry. Simulation and hardware experiments conducted in this paper validates the proposed calibration method and shows its performance.

The two prototypes of a Wheel Type Locomotive Mechanism Using Micro motor for a Capsule-Type Endoscope are outlined and realized. Basic concept of these mechanisms is to use a rod-shaped wheel, with which these mechanisms can go over the haustral folds inside colon. The actuator of Prototype I is geared dc motor and the actuator for steering is Shape Memory Alloy. Prototype I goes through the whole area of colonoscopy training model. Prototype II can not only go forward and backward, but also be steerable with 2 geared dc motors. Prototype II goes through dead pig colon.

Wheeled mobile robot has different mobility and steerability which determined by type of wheel and it's arrangement. Generally wheeled mobile robot's dynamics are nonlinear and various control methods have studied to control the mobile robot efficiently. In this paper, a T-S fuzzy modeling of a 2-wheeled mobile robot is mand a stable LMI-based state feedback fuzzy controller is designed and applied to the position control of the mobile robot for the reference trajectory following. Also, the verification of the designed controller is done by computer simulation.

In this paper, to improve the efficiency of welding and user convenience in the shipbuilding industry, a PC-based off-line programming (OLP) technique and the development of a robot transfer unit are presented. The developed OLP system is capable of not only robot motion simulations but also automatic generations of a series of robot programs. The strength of the developed OLP system lies in its flexibility in handling the changes of the welding robot's target objects. Moreover, for a precise transfer of the robot to a desired location, an auxiliary mobile platform named a robot-origin-transfer-unit (ROTU) was developed. To enhance the cornering capability of the platform in a narrow area, the developed ROTU is equipped with 2 steering wheels and 1 driving wheel. Both the OLP and the ROTU were field-tested and their performances were proven successful.

The skid-steering method that applied a number of mobile robot currently is extremely effective in narrow area. But it contains several problems such as its natural properties, slip, occurred by different direction between vehicle's driving and wheel's rotary. Through this paper, suitable control algorithm of $6{\times}6$ skid steering wheeled vehicle and its driving methods are proposed by analyzing the behavior $6{\times}6$ skid-steered wheeled vehicle model designed by engineering analysis strategy. To do this, based on a behavior of designed driving system, required torque and other performance of in-wheel type motor system are considered, and finally control algorithm for each wheel is proposed and simulated using this model. To test the proposed vehicle system, driver model is designed using PID closed loop system and included in the total driving control algorithm. The Performance of designed vehicle model is verified by using DYC (Direct Yaw Control) cornering mode and slip mode control to follow the steering input which are essential to evaluate the driving performance of $6{\times}6$ vehicle. Proposed modeling strategy and control method will be implemented to the real $6{\times}6$ in-wheel drive type vehicle.

본 연구는 옴니휠을 이용한 1인승 탑승 로봇개발을 통해 장애인 및 비장애인 탑승자의 거동특성과 안정성을 고려한 사용자의 불편요소와 개선방안을 파악하여 총 6명의 사용성 평가를 실시하였다. 본 연구 결과를 보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대구대학교 신애5호관 기숙사에서 실험대상자들에게 옴니휠을 이용한 1인승 로봇을 사용하여 불편요소를 파악하는데 있는 승하차의 경우 비장애인이 만족도 4점보다 장애인이 만족도 1.6점으로 가장 큰 불편함을 느꼈다. 이는 휠체어 높이보다 제품의 시트높이가 10cm 더 높아 이동하기 어려웠던 것으로 분석된다. 둘째, 1인승 로봇의 주행와 안전을 위해 장착된 시트, 등받이, 암레스트, 풋레스트, 안전벨트 등 장애인과 비장애인 모다 3점 평균이하의 각각 2.33점과 2.62점의 만족도를 보였으나, 가변형설계 및 설계디자인의 경우 장애인과 비장애인 모두 3.5점의 평균 이상 만족도를 나타내었다. 셋째, 1인승 로봇의 가격의 경우 6~7백만원으로 상당히 비싸다는 의견이 많아 정부 보조금 지원이 가능하다면 전동휠체어 대용으로 구입하겠다는 의견을 나타내었다. 따라서 장애인 사용성 평가에서 나타난 불편사항과 개선방안을 토대로 추가적인 연구개발이 이루어져 교통약자들에게 스스로 탑승 및 이동하여 간단한 일상생활 하는데 있어 삶의 질을 높일 필요성이 있다.

A double-parked car is the one that is parked in a crowded parking lot with its transmission gear in neutral position and its auxiliary brake released. A double-parked car can be moved by pushing it but doing so is very difficult and dangerous. In a previous study, we proposed an omni-directional mobile robot for moving a double parked car. In that study we adopted Mecanum wheels. Even though the proposed robot showed successful results, it has some drawbacks such as dependency on a load condition, complexity in control, inefficiency in power use, etc. To overcome those drawbacks, we propose a differential drive robot with ordinary two tire wheels. The proposed robot consists of two parts, one is a wheel part and the other is a body part. By selectively connecting or disconnecting those two parts with the aid of an electric brake, the proposed robot is able to have omni-directional mobility.
