This paper proposes a local path planning method for stable autonomous driving in rough terrain. There are various path planning techniques such as candidate paths, star algorithm, and Rapidly-exploring Random Tree algorithms. However, such existing path planning has limitations to reflecting the stability of unmanned ground vehicles. This paper suggest a path planning algorithm that considering the stability of unmanned ground vehicles. The algorithm is based on the genetic algorithm and assumes to have probability based obstacle map and elevation map. The simulation result show that the proposed algorithm can be used for real-time local path planning in rough terrain.

본 논문은 국방로봇의 하나인 무인지상차량이 자율주행 시 요구되는 기능수준을 도출하기 위한 방법에 대한 연구이다. 기존의 무기체계는 운용환경에 크게 영향을 받지 않는 반면 국방로봇은 동일한 플랫폼이라 할지라도 운용환경 변화에 따라 다른 성능이 표출된다. 만약 운용제대에 따라 무기체계인 국방로봇의 성능이 각각 다르게 발현된다면 임무수행의 결과는 달라질 것이다. 그러므로 소요군은 국방로봇에 요구하는 기능의 수준을 명확히 도출해야 최적의 국방로봇을 연구개발 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 국방로봇의 주요 기능 중 하나인 자율주행을 중심으로 하여 무인지상차량의 요구기능수준을 도출하는 방법을 제시하였다. 소요군 내 각 운용제대별로 무인지상차량이 자율주행 시 요구되는 기능의 수준을 평가 할 수 있는 문항과 운용자의 개입정도에 따른 자율주행 기능의 요구수준을 나타내었으며, 더불어 여러 운용환경에 따른 변수 중에서 지상 환경에 대한 수준을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 무인자동차의 자율주행을 위한 알고리즘을 제시하고 3차원 그래픽 시뮬레이션을 통하여 안정성 기반 자율주행 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하고자 한다. 제안된 자율주행 알고리즘은 주변 인접 차량의 위치, 속도, 가속도, 주행 차로 정보를 바탕으로 자율주행 차량과의 충돌가능성 및 충돌예측시간을 계산하여 최적의 안정 주로를 선택하고 이러한 주행 차로에 대한 주행 궤적을 생성하여 추종토록 함으로써 자율주행이 이루어지도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 자율주행 알고리즘을 검증하기 위하여 3차원 그래픽 시뮬레이션 환경을 구축하였으며 다차로, 다차량 주행 환경에서 몇 가지 가상 도로 환경을 구축하여 시뮬레이션 하였고 자율주행 차량의주행 궤적을 인접 주행차량의 주행 궤적과 비교 확인함으로써 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제시된 안정성 기반 자율주행 알고리즘은 다차로, 다차량 주행 환경에서 주변 차량과 충돌 없이 안정적인주행 성능을 보여주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The goal of this research is developing advanced lane detecting algorithm for unmanned vehicle. Previous lane detecting method to bring on error become of the lane loss and noise. Therefore, new algorithm developed to get exact information of lane. This algorithm can be used to AGV(Autonomous Guide Vehicle) and LSWS(Lane Departure Warning System), ACC(Adapted Cruise Control). We used 1/10 scale RC car to embody developed algorithm. A CCD camera is installed on top of vehicle. Images are transmitted to a main computer though wireless video transmitter. A main computer finds information of lane in road image. And it calculates control value of vehicle and transmit these to vehicle. This algorithm can detect in input image marked by 256 gray levels to get exact information of lane. To find the driving direction of vehicle, it search line equation by curve fitting of detected pixel. Finally, author used median filtering method to removal of noise and used characteristic part of road image for advanced of processing time.

Autonomy of unmanned systems is important because the unmanned system with high level of autonomy is able to perform desired tasks in unstructured environments without continuous human guidance. Evaluation of their autonomy is vital to realize the autonomous operation ability of unmanned system. Compared to the methods of evaluating the level of autonomy(LOA) for an unmanned ground vehicle(UGV) and unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), the method of expressing the LOA of unmanned maritime system(UMS) is not established yet. Since UMS has a unique characteristics in terms of operational area, mission complexity and required technologies, compared to the UGV and UAV, it is required to establish for expressing the LOA for UMS. This paper reviews the current approaches to assess the LOA of unmanned system and proposes potential metrics for UMS in order to determine the autonomy levels of UMS.

In this paper, the development of an autonomous electric vehicle for logistics with a robotic arm is introduced. The manual driving electric vehicle was converted into an electric vehicle platform capable of autonomous driving. For autonomous driving, an encoder is installed on the driving wheels, and an electronic power steering system is applied for automatic steering. The electric vehicle is equipped with a lidar sensor, a depth camera, and an ultrasonic sensor to recognize the surrounding environment, create a map, and recognize the vehicle location. The odometry was calculated using the bicycle motion model, and the map was created using the SLAM algorithm. To estimate the location of the platform based on the generated map, AMCL algorithm using Lidar was applied. A user interface was developed to create and modify a waypoint in order to move a predetermined place according to the logistics process. An A-star-based global path was generated to move to the destination, and a DWA-based local path was generated to trace the global path. The autonomous electric vehicle developed in this paper was tested and its utility was verified in a warehouse.

Unmanned vehicle has a performance for finding the path and the way point by itself, so called orientation and direction. For the more precise navigation performance, Extended kalman filter, which is integrated with inertial navigation system and global positioning system is proposed in this paper. Extended kalman filter's performance is evaluated by the simulation and applied to the unmanned vehicle. The test result shows the effectiveness of Extended kalman filter for the navigation.

These days, a study on 'Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV)' has made very active progress in many countries. Even if it is being expected that there will be a great demand of USV for wide field, such as military operation, private sector, and etc., the study of USV in Korea is still at an early stage. For this reason, we have made a very small USV which is composed of dual mode (autonomous and remote control). The TCP/IP communication is applied to the USV.

In remote USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) maritime operation, the remote operation and control technic and autonomous control technic is required and the emergency mode algorithm is needed certainly for sailing and accomplishing various surveillance, reconnaissance, and underwater search missions of USV. In this paper, we review the countermeasures in emergency situation of the existing USV system (Barracuda) and propose the emergency mode algorithm considering the operation and control, and autonomous control level for the stable USV operation in case of emergency. We analyzed the autonomous control level in view of the mission complexity and environmental difficulty, and human interface, and verified the performance of the autonomous control level when we apply four emergency mode algorithms. It is expected that more stable and reliable operation and cotrol are possible if the proposed algorithm is applied to the environments requiring the various multi-mission USV sailing and mission achievement.
