Initialization problem is defined for indoor mobile robot as a whole process from arrival to normal operation in a new environment. The unstructured environment make the process much more difficult compared to industrial robot in structured environments. We propose a simple and efficient initialization process based on artificial stars on ceiling. Important task points and paths connecting task points are defined based on the corresponding artificial stars. This approach can be used for all kinds of indoor mobile robots with landmarks used for indoor localization.

Spacecraft attitude estimation using the nonlinear unscented filter is addressed to fully utilize capabilities of the unscented transformation. To release significant computational load, an efficient technique is proposed by reasonably removing correlation between random variables. This modification introduces considerable reduction of sigma points and computational burden in matrix square-root calculation for most nonlinear systems. Unscented filter technique makes use of a set of sample points to predict mean and covariance. The general QUEST(QUaternion ESTimator) algorithm preserves explicitly the quaternion normalization, whereas extended Kalman filter(EKF) implicitly obeys the constraint. For spacecraft attitude estimation based on quaternion, an approach to computing quaternion means from sampled quaternions with guarantee of the quaternion norm constraint is introduced applying a constrained optimization technique. Finally, the performance of the new approach is demonstrated using a star tracker and rate-gyro measurements.

This paper presents a propulsion control system for electric car to improve traction capability. The presented VVVF inverter was composed of as IGBT and the controller was full digitalized by using 32bit DSP. The improved PWM algorithms was adapted to improve traction characteristics. The system could be possible the higher reliablity, compact, light, low cost' and flexbility.

Some methods have been presented to avoid collisions among satellites for satellite formation flying mission. The potential function method based on Lyapunov's theory is known as a powerful tool for collision avoidance in the robotic system because of its robustness and flexibility. During the last decade, a potential function has also been applied to UAV's and spacecraft operations, which consists of repulsive and attractive potential. In this study, the controller is designed using a potential function via sliding mode technique for the configuration of satellite formation flying. The strategy is based on enforcing the satellite to move along the gradient of a given potential function. The new scalar velocity function is introduced such that all satellites reach the goal points simultaneously. Simulation results show that the controller drives the satellite toward the desired point along the gradient of the potential function and is robust against external disturbances.

The necessary and sufficient conditions for the linearization of the nonlinear control systems via restricted dynamic feed back have been found. These require checking with almost all indices from 0 to 2n-3. In this paper, we exploit the inherent structure of the system and find an efficient method to find linearizability of the system by reducing the range of the index to check. Our examples show the efficiency of our method.

Fuzzy controller design consists of intuition, and any other information about how to control system, into a set of rules. These rules can then be applied to the system. It is very important to decide parameters of IF-THEN rules. Because fuzzy controller can make more adequate force to the plant by means of parameter optimization, which is accomplished by learning procedure. In this paper, we apply fuzzy controller designed to the inverted pendulum.

In this paper, we propose a UML modeling of ATO on-board software. An automatic train operation (ATO) system is a real-time control system, which operates a train without a manual operation by a driver. For the safe and comfortable service, real-time embedded software for ATO on-board equipment should have both of high performance and reliability. UML-based object-oriented modeling technique is introduced and used widely to design software that satisfies this requirement. We used Rhapsody, which is a modeling tool for real-time embedded software, to model the construction and the behavior of ATO on-board equipment. As a result, ATO on-board software which performs the profile calculation and the real-time speed control is designed and implemented. The brief modeling result including behavioral characteristics and the simulation results are presented.

In this paper, a real-time digital kalman filtering algorithm is used to obtain the reference estimation of the control current for shunt active power filter. This algorithm provides the best estimate of the fundamental and harmonic frequency components from the sampled values of the line current or voltage waveform. By adopting of the digital Kalman filtering algorithm, the structure of the control algorithm eliminates the need of a Phase locked loop(PLL) for the synchronization of the reference signal used in the compensation and it not sensitive to the distortion of the line voltage. The effectiveness of the algorithm is confirmed by the computer simulations.

본 논문에서는 초음파 센서와 시각 센서에서 얻은 전방향 센서 데이타를 이용하여 실내 이동 로봇용 국부 유도 항법을 위한 새로운 환경 모델링 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 이 두 종류의 센서 데이타에 포함된 불확실성을 주관적 지식과 퍼지 연산법을 사용하여 정량적으로 다룰 수 있는 센서 융합법을 제안한다. 이 방법을 사용하여, 로봇의 현재 위치와 목표 위치간의 기하학적 관계를 더욱 정확하게 얻을 수 있다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안된 모델링과 센서 융합법이 실내 이동 로봇 항법에 효과적임을 보였다.

This paper describes the development of integrated head and eye tracker system. Vision based head tracker is performed and it has 7mm error in 300mm translation. The epi-polar method and point matching are used for determining a position of head and rotational degree. High brightness LEDs are installed on helmet and the installed pattern is very important to match the points of stereo system. Eye tracker also uses LED for constant illumination. A Position of gazed object(3m distance) is determined by pupil tracking and eye tracker has 1~5 pixel error. Integration of result data of each tracking system is important. RS-232C communication is applied to integrated system and triggering signal is used for synchronization.
