Inaccurate localization exposes a robot to many dangerous conditions. It could make a robot be moved to wrong direction or damaged by collision with surrounding obstacles. There are numerous approaches to self-localization, and there are different modalities as well (vision, laser range finders, ultrasonic sonars). Since sensor information is generally uncertain and contains noise, there are many researches to reduce the noise. But, the correctness is limited because most researches are based on statistical approach. The goal of our research is to measure more exact robot location by matching between built VRML 3D model and real vision image. To determine the position of mobile robot, landmark-localization technique has been applied. Landmarks are any detectable structure in the physical environment. Some use vertical lines, others use specially designed markers, In this paper, specially designed markers are used as landmarks. Given known focal length and a single image of three landmarks it is possible to compute the angular separation between the lines of sight of the landmarks. The image-processing and neural network pattern matching techniques are employed to recognize landmarks placed in a robot working environment. After self-localization, the 2D scene of the vision is overlaid with the VRML scene.

유도전동기는 상대적으로 저가이며 보수가 용이하여 산업 및 여러 분야에서 많이 사용되고 있는 전동기이다. 유도전동기의 정확한 속도 및 토크 제어를 위해서 회전자의 속도 및 위치정보가 요구된다. 회전자의 위치 및 속도 센서들은 경제성 및 주위 환경에 따른 센서의 신뢰도 감소 문제를 가져온다. 최근에는 이러한 경제성 및 신뢰성 향상을 위하여 속도 및 위치센서를 사용하지 않는 센서리스 제어방식의 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 대부분의 센서리스제어 방식에서 위치 및 속도추정은 전동기 전압방정식으로부터 계산된다. 따라서 파라미터 오차는 센서리스 제어성능에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 유도전동기의 속도 추정에서 회전자 저항 오차에 의해 발생하는 속도 오차를 보상하기 위하여 회전자 저항 보상방식을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 검증한다.

This paper presents a measurement system for 3D hand-drawn gesture motion. Many pen-type input devices with Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) have been developed to estimate 3D hand-drawn gesture using the measured acceleration and/or the angular velocity of the device. The crucial procedure in developing these devices is to measure and to analyze their motion or trajectory. In order to verify the trajectory estimated by an IMU-based input device, it is necessary to compare the estimated trajectory to the real trajectory. For measuring the real trajectory of the pen-type device, a PHANToMTM haptic device is utilized because it allows us to measure the 3D motion of the object in real-time. Even though the PHANToMTM measures the position of the hand gesture well, poor initialization may produce a large amount of error. Therefore, this paper proposes a calibration method which can minimize measurement errors.

This paper proposes to improve the performance of a strap down inertial navigation system using a foot-mounted low-cost inertial measurement unit/magnetometer by configuring an attitude and heading reference system. To track position accurately and for attitude estimations, considering different dynamic constraints, magnetic measurement and a zero velocity update technique is used. A conventional strap down method based on integrating angular rate to determine attitude will inevitably induce long-term drift, while magnetometers are subject to short-term orientation errors. To eliminate this accumulative error, and thus, use the navigation system for a long-duration mission, a hybrid configuration by integrating a miniature micro electromechanical system (MEMS)-based attitude and heading detector with the conventional navigation system is proposed in this paper. The attitude and heading detector is composed of three-axis MEMS accelerometers and three-axis MEMS magnetometers. With an absolute algorithm based on gravity and Earth's magnetic field, rather than an integral algorithm, the attitude detector can obtain an absolute attitude and heading estimation without drift errors, so it can be used to adjust the attitude and orientation of the strap down system. Finally, we verify (by both formula analysis and from test results) that the accumulative errors are effectively eliminated via this hybrid scheme.

The experimental characterization of hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor is performed for the practical implementation of high-performance hard disk drive system. Firstly, the design concept of hydrodynamic bearing for the disk drive system is addressed including the herringbone grooved journal bearing, the spiral grooved thrust bearing, capillary seal design, and the viscous pumping of fluid. Secondly, the experimental evaluation is performed for the disk drive system in which the hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor is implemented and its dynamic performances are compared with conventional ball-bearing spindle motor. The key parameters include NRRO(Non Repeatable Run-Out), disk dynamics, acoustics, and resultant PES (Position Error Signal). Finally, the external gyro-exciting test results including 200k CSS(Continuous Start-Stop) on three angular attitudes(0,90, 180 degree) are presented in order to verify the practical reliability of disk drive system subject to the gyro-motion of hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor.

An analysis method for calculating motion accuarcy of double sides hydrostatic table is proposed in this paper. In this method, profiles of each rails are assumed as periodic function, therefore it is represented as the sum of spacial frequencies. Bearing clearance at any position rail is depended on the variation of linear, angular motion error of table and the form errors of both sides of a rail. Finite element method is applied to calculate pressure distributions in bearing clearance. In order to simplify the analyzing process, double sides table model is converted into equivalent single side table model. Results calculated by the proposed modeling method agree well with the results directly caculated by double sides modeling method, and also agree well with experimental results. From the theoretical and experimental analysis, it is verified that the proposed analysis method is very effective to analyze the motion accuracy of double sides hydrostatic table.

This paper presents the design methodology of an unknown input observer for Lipschitz nonlinear systems with unknown inputs in the framework of convex optimization. We use an unknown input observer (UIO) to consider both nonlinearity and disturbance. By deriving a sufficient condition for exponential stability in the linear matrix inequality (LMI) form, existence of a stabilizing observer gain matrix of UIO will be assured by checking whether the quadratic stability margin of the error dynamics is greater than the Lipschitz constant or not. If quadratic stability margin is less than a Lipschitz constant, the coordinate transformation may be used to reduce the Lipschitz constant in the new coordinates. Furthermore, to reduce the maximum singular value of the observer gain matrix elements, an object function to minimize it will be optimally designed by modifying its magnitude so that amplification of sensor measurement noise is minimized via multi-objective optimization algorithm. The performance of UIO is compared to a nonlinear observer (Luenberger-like) with an application to a flexible joint robot system considering a change of load and disturbance. Finally, it is validated via simulations that the estimated angular position and velocity provide true values even in the presence of unknown inputs.

Angle sensors based on the principle of autocollimation, which are usually called autocollimators, can accurately measure small tilt angles of a light-reflecting flat surface. This paper describes a prototype micro-angle sensor that is based on the laser autocollimation technique. The new angle sensor is compact and consists of a laser diode as the light source and a quadrant photodiode as a position-sensing device. Because of its concise design, the microangle sensor facilitates dynamic measurements of the angular error motions of a precision stage without influencing the original dynamic properties of the stage. This is because the sensor only requires a small extra target mirror to be mounted on the stage. The sensitivity of the angle detection is independent of the focal length of the objective lens; therefore, an objective lens with a relatively short focal length is employed to reduce the size of the device. The micro-angle sensor uses a single lens for the both the laser collimation and focusing, which distinguishes it from the conventional laser autocollimation method that has separate collimate and objective lenses. The new micro-angle sensor has dimensions of $15.1\times22.0\times14.0mm$ and its resolution is better than 0.1 arc-second The optical design and performance of this micro-angle sensor were verified by experimental results.

A robust tracking controller design was developed for a rotary motion control system. The friction force versus the angular velocity was measured and modeled as a combination of linear and nonlinear components. By adding a model-based friction compensator to a nominal proportional-integral-derivative controller, it was possible to build a simulated control system model that agreed well with the experimental results. A zero-phase error tracking controller was selected as the feedforward tracking controller and implemented based on the estimated closed-loop transfer function. To provide robustness against external disturbances and modeling uncertainties, a disturbance observer was added in the position feedback loop. The performance improvement of the overall tracking controller structure was verified through simulations and experiments.

두 개의 회전하는 사분파장판으로 구성된 타원편광분석기의 체계적인 오차를 보정하는 방법을 연구하고 이를 실증하였다. 두개의 사분파장판으로 구성된 타원편광분석기의 5가지 오차(두 개의 회전 사분파장판들의 회전 시작 각도 오차 및 상 지연 값의 오차, 그리고 편광 분석기의 정렬 각도 오차)를 근사 과정 없이 계산하기 위하여 시료가 없이 타원편광신호를 얻고 이로부터 25개의 퓨리에 성분을 추출하였다. 25개의 퓨리에 계수에서 관련된 11개의 성분만 이용하여 상호 비선형적으로 얽혀 있는 5개의 값을 비선형 최적화 방법으로 구할 수 있었다. 오차 보정 결과 회전광소자들의 정렬 각도 오차(${\epsilon}_3$, ${\epsilon}_4$, ${\epsilon}_5$)가 위상지연 오차(${\epsilon}_1$, ${\epsilon}_2$)보다 더 중요하며, 모든 오차에서 0.05 rad 이하의 정밀도를 지니면 충분히 그 오차를 보정할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 최종적으로는 이렇게 구한 광학계의 초기 정렬 오차 값을 미지의 광학 부품에 적용하여 미지의 광학부품의 위상 지연의 양과 빠른 축을 알 수 있었다. 오차 보정 검증을 위하여 미지의 샘플로 반파장판을 이용하였으며, 반파장판의 위상 지연 양과 빠른 축을 찾을 수 있었다.
