  • Mobility is one of the most important issues for search and rescue robots. To increase mobility for small size robot we have focused on the mechanism and algorithm inspired from centipede. In spite of small size, using many legs and flexible long body, centipede can overcome high obstacles and move in rough terrains stably. This research focused on those points and imitated their legs and body that are good for obstacle negotiation. Based on similarity of a centipede's legs and tracks, serially connected tracks are used for climbing obstacles higher than the robot's height. And a centipede perceives environments using antennae on its head instead of eyes. Inspired from that, 3 IR sensors are attached on the front, top and bottom of the first module to imitate the antenna. Using the information gotten from the sensors, the robot decides next behavior automatically. In experiments, the robot can climb up to 45 cm height vertical wall and it is 600 % of the robot's height and 58 % of the robot's length.

  • This study investigated a bio-tensegrity structural system that combines the characteristics of a general tensegrity structural system with a biological system. The final research objective is to accomplish a changeability for the structural system as like the movement of the natural bio-system. In the study, we present a shape finding procedure for the two stage bio-tensegrity system model inspired by the movement pattern of animal backbone. The proposed system is allowing a dynamic movement by introducing the concept of "saddle" for the variable bio-tensegrity structure. Several shape finding analysis example and results are presented and shows a efficient validation and suitability.

  • 카테콜아민의 일종인 노레피네프린을 이용하면 다양한 물질의 표면을 효과적으로 개질시킬 수 있음이 최근 보고되었다. 단순한 표면 개질뿐만 아니라 OH- 작용기의 도입이 가능하다는 장점을 갖는 노레피네프린 코팅법은 산화그래핀 혹은 흑연과 같은 비활성 표면에까지 성공적으로 적용되었으며, 그 결과 생체 적합성을 갖는 기능성 표면이 개발되었다.

  • Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is a multifaceted surface sensitive methodology which exploits spectroscopy-based analysis for various applications. This technique is based on the massive amplification of Raman signals which were feeble previously in order to use them for appropriate identification at qualitative and quantitative in chemical as well as biological systems. This novel powerful technique can be utilized to identify pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. As far as SERS is concerned, one of the most studied problems has been functionalization of SERS active substrate. Metal colloids and nanostructures or microstructures synthesized using noble metals such as Au, Ag and Cu are considered to be SERS active. Silver and gold are extensively used as SERS active substrates due to chemical inertness and stability in air compare to copper. However, use of Cu as a suitable alternative has been taken into account as it is cheap. Herein, we have synthesized air-stable copper microstructures/nanostructures by chemical, electrochemical and microwave-assisted methods. In this paper, we have also discussed the use of as synthesized copper micro/nanostructures as inexpensive yet effective SERS active substrates for the fast identification of micro-organisms like Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

  • 본 논문은 OFDMA 기반 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 플로킹 기법을 활용한 분산 시간 및 주파수 동기화 알고리듬을 다룬다. 채널전송 지연의 영향을 고려하지 않는 기존 플로킹 기법과 달리, 본 논문에서는 실제 무선 메쉬 네트워크 환경을 고려하기 위하여 시간 및 주파수 동기를 맞추기 위한 동기화 파라미터를 설정하고, 제안된 시간 및 주파수 동기화 모델의 수렴조건과 동기화 파라미터 설정범위를 분석 도출한다. 그리고 모의실험을 통하여 동기화 파라미터에 설정에 따른 제안된 기법의 시간 및 주파수 동기화의 수렴성능을 검증한다.

  • Abalone shell is composed of 95 wt% $CaCO_3$ platelets and 5 wt% of a protein-rich organic matrix which acts as an adhesive layer, connecting aragonite tablets, thus maintaining the structural integrity of the composite. By mimicking abalone shell, we prepared a silicate plate/polymer nanocomposite by infiltrating PMMA between silicate layers and warm-pressing them at $200^{\circ}C$ for 1 h under 15 tons to make organic-inorganic composite materials. To examine the organic-inorganic composite materials after the warm-pressing procedure, the composite sample was analyzed with FE-SEM and TG. The bending strengths and densities of the composites prepared by a silicate plate and PMMA after the warm-pressing process were ~140 MPa and 1.5, respectively.
