항공전자 장비들의 급속한 발전으로 인해 무인항공기의 크기가 소형화 되고 있으나, 무인항공기에 대해 주어지는 임무는 더욱 정확하고 복잡해지고 있다. 정지비행이 가능하고, 간단한 기계적 메커니즘을 가진 쿼드로터는 이 같은 환경에서 활동도가 점차 증가하고 있다. 그러나 쿼드로터는 구조 특성에 따라 출력의 개수보다 입력의 개수가 작은 under actuated 시스템이므로, 쿼드로터 제어에 큰 제약이 따른다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 쿼드로터의 단점을 해결하기 위해서 4개의 원동기 외에 2개의 추가적인 원동기를 더 부착한 모델을 제안하여, 입력의 개수와 출력의 개수가 같은 fully actuated 시스템을 구현하도록 한다. 제안한 쿼드로터 모델의 제어기를 설계하기 위해 궤환선형화 기법을 적용하였다. 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 제안한 모델과 설계된 제어기의 성능을 검증하였다.

본 연구는 반감응 신호제어 적용에 따른 정량적인 효과를 현장에서 수집된 자료를 활용하여 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 지방부도로에 현장을 선정하여 반감응 신호제어 시스템을 대규모로 설치하였다. 또한 이러한 시스템을 현장에서 구현하기 위한 신호제어 전략을 개발하고, 표준제어기의 내부 기능을 수정하여 교차로에 구현하였다. 그리고 교통량, 통행시간, 지체차량수의 3가지 효과척도를 이용하여 효과를 제시하였다. 분석결과로부터, 반감응 신호제어시스템 적용시 주방향의 용량이 증대되어 오전 및 오후 첨두시 평균적으로 9.4%, 11.3%의 통과교통량 증가가 각각 나타났다. 그리고 직진 차량에 대한 녹색시간 폭이 확대되어 평균적인 주행시간이 오전 첨두시에는 6.3%, 오후 첨두시에는 7.8% 감소하였다. 지체차량의 수도 오전 첨두시에는 36.4%, 오후 첨두시에는 23.9% 감소되어 반감응 도입에 따른 제어 효과가 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 주도로와 부도로 교통량의 편차가 크고, 횡단보도 보행자가 적은 특성이 있는 도로에는 반감응제어가 매우 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

This paper deals with the kinematic and dynamic modeling of a 3 degree-of-freedom redundantly actuated mobile robot for the purpose of analysis and control. Each wheel is driven by two motors for steering and driving. Therefore, the system becomes force-redundant since the number of input variable is greater than the number of output variable. The kinematic and dynamic models in terms of three independent joint variables are derived. Also, a load distribution method to determine the input loads is introduced. Finally we demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed algorithms through simulation.

The real-time simulator of a turning-type sluice gate actuated by the hydraulic cylinders is developed using a PC and a visual C++ program language. The real-time simulator receives the directional control valve signal selected by the operator using the mouse, updates the state variables of the turning-type sluice gate system responding to the control signal, and draws the moving figures of the sluice gate, cylinder, reserved water every drawing time on the PC monitor. Also, the operator can observe the sluice gate angle, cylinder force, cylinder pressures, and hydraulic power representing the operation of sluice gate system through the PC monitor every drawing time. The simulator can be a very useful tool to design and improve the turning-type sluice gate system.

Face robots capable of expressing their emotional status, can be adopted as an efficient tool for friendly communication between the human and the machine. In this paper, we present a face robot actuated with artificial muscle based on dielectric elastomer. By exploiting the properties of polymers, it is possible to actuate the covering skin, eyes as well as provide human-like expressivity without employing complicated mechanisms. The robot is driven by seven types of actuator modules such as eye, eyebrow, eyelid, brow, cheek, jaw and neck module corresponding to movements of facial muscles. Although they are only part of the whole set of facial motions, our approach is sufficient to generate six fundamental facial expressions such as surprise, fear, anger, disgust, sadness, and happiness. Each module communicates with the others via CAN communication protocol fur the desired emotional expressions, the facial motions are generated by combining the motions of each actuator module. A prototype of the robot has been developed and several experiments have been conducted to validate its feasibility.

In this paper, noticing the point of human's ability which appropriately cope with vague conditions, we design fuzzy traffic signal light controller similar to human's distinction ability and decide the optimum cycle most suited to any traffic junction using fuzzy identification algorithm. In this study, for the control output decision process we design fuzzy controller better than electronic vehicle actuated controller in performance. We propose the cycle decision method which is not limited by the variance of traffic junction vehicle number through overcoming the limit of Webster's method which is adopted by the fixed cycle controller. Simulated experimental results show that fuzzy controller and fuzzy identification algorithm are better than the existing electronic vehicle actuated controller and fixed cycle controller in delay time per vehicle.

Closed-loop active twist control of integral helicopter rotor blades is investigated in this paper for reducing hub vibration induced in forward flight. A four-bladed fully articulated integral twist-actuated rotor system has been designed and tested successfully in wind tunnel in open-loop actuation. The integral twist deformation of the blades is generated using active fiber composite actuators embedded in the composite blade construction. An analytical framework is developed to examine integrally twisted helicopter blades and their aeroelastic behavior during different flight conditions. This aeroelastic model stems from a three-dimensional electroelastic beam formulation with geometrical-exactness, and is coupled with finite-state dynamic inflow aerodynamics. A system identification methodology that assumes a linear periodic system is adopted to estimate the harmonic transfer function of the rotor system. A vibration minimizing controller is designed based on this result, which implements a classical disturbance rejection algorithm with some modifications. Using the established analytical framework, the closed-loop controller is numerically simulated and the hub vibratory load reduction capability is demonstrated.

In daily life, another major role of human hand is a communicative function using hand gestures besides grasp function. Therefore, if amputees can express their intention by the prosthetic hand, they can much actively participate in social activities. Thus, this paper propose myoelectric multi-function prosthetic hand which can express 6 useful hand gestures such as Rock, Scissors, Paper, Indexing, Ok and Thumb-up. It was designed as under-actuated structure to minimize volume and weight of the prosthetic hand. Moreover, in order to effectively control various hand gestures by only two EMG sensors, we propose a control strategy that the signal type are expanded as "Strong" and "Light", and hand gestures are hierarchically classified for the intuitive control. Finally, we prove the validity of the developed prosthetic hand with the experiment.

This paper proposes a locomotion pattern and a control method for biped robots with curved soles. First, since the contact point of a supporting leg may arbitrarily move back and forth on the ground, we derived the desired trajectory from a model called the Moving. Inverted Pendulum Model (MIPM) where the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) exists at the supporting point and can be moved intentionally. Secondly, a biped robot with curved soles is an under-actuated system since the supporting point contacting with a point on the ground has no actuator during the single supporting phase. Therefore, this paper proposes a computed-torque control for this under-actuated system using decoupled dynamic equations. A series of computer simulations with a 7-DOF biped robot with curved soles shows that the proposed walking pattern and control method are effective and allow the biped robot to walk fast and stably, and move more like human beings. Also, it is shown that the curved sole shape has superior energy consumption compared to flat soles, and greater efficiency in ascending and descending the stairs.
