The wafer positioning robot in the semiconductor industry is required to operate at high speed for the improvement of productivity. The residual vibration caused by the high speed of the wafer positioning robot, however, makes the life of the robot shorter and the cycle time longer. In this study, the input shaping and the path of the system are designed for the reduction of the residual vibration and the improvement of the cycle time. The followings are the process for the reduction and the improvement; 1) System modeling of the wafer positioning robot, 2) Verification of dynamic characteristics of the wafer positioning robot, 3) Input shaping plan using impulse response reiteration, 4) Simulation test using SIMULINK program, 5) Analysis of result.

In this paper, we introduce the results of the development of a care robot for the safe lifting and transportation of bedridden patients with difficulty moving by themselves, especially, in medical facilities. The purpose of the developed patient transfer robot is to improve the convenience of care givers and enhance the safety and comfort of care recipients by facilitating patient lifting and patient transfer tasks by applying robot technology. In order to implement the lifting function, a hoist was designed and developed, and a sway control and rollover warning system were included in the hoist module as product differentiators. In addition, in terms of implementing the transfer function, an omnidirectional movement mechanism to improve operability in confined spaces and an active safety system to prevent collisions were developed. The function of the developed patient transfer robot was verified through performance evaluation by an authorized testing agency.

This study proposed a new approach to develop an Intelligent control algorithm for cooperative working of human and robot based on voice recognition. In general case of speaker verification, Gaussian Mixture Model is used to model the feature vectors of reference speech signals. On the other hand, Dynamic Time Warping based template matching techniques were presented for the voice recognition about several years ago. We converge these two different concepts in a single method and then implement in a real time voice recognition enough to make reference model to satisfy 95% of recognition performance. In this paper it was illustrated the reliability of voice recognition by simulation and experiments for humanoid robot with 18 joints.

Generally, ships have marks of various shapes on outside of the hull. Among them, so called "Draft Mark" indicates the distance from the bottom of the keel to the waterline. Draft marks are used to determine the displacement and other properties of the ship for stability and control purposes. These marks are made up of welding bead or sticking the steel plate on outside of the hull. To improve the confidence level of the ship owner, quality and accuracy of the draft mark is very important. So the automatic mark welding robot is used to enable a high quality and accurate manufacturing line. To improve the system portability, the system is divided into two distinct parts, namely mechanical part and control part. Mechanical part is robust, a lightweight, and easy to dismantle. The control part consists of an in-house developed controller, which is based on embedded Linux. Also, the control part consists of power line communication module to ensure the applicability of the controller in manufacturing line. In this paper, the methodologies of control and configuration of the robot are discussed.

Recently, number of navigation system using GPS and other complementary sensor has been developed to offer high-position accuracy. In this paper, we developed navigation system for mobile robot integrating GPS and DR sensor information provided by fiber optic gyroscopes and encoder information. In the case of short-term applications, integrating this encoder and gyroscope through Kalman filter reliable positioning can be obtained. And for the long-term applications we developed GPS/DR Integration algorithm using Kalman filter

In this paper, the wall following navigation algorithm of the mobile robot using a mono vision system is described. The key points of the mobile robot navigation system are effective acquisition of the environmental information and fast recognition of the robot position. Also, from this information, the mobile robot should be appropriately controlled to follow a desired path. For the recognition of the relative position and orientation of the robot to the wall, the features of the corridor structure are extracted using the mono vision system, then the relative position, the offset distance and steering angle of the robot from the wall, is derived for a simple corridor geometry. For the alleviation of the computation burden of the image processing, the Kalman filter is used to reduce search region in the image space for line detection. Next, the robot is controlled by this information to follow the desired path. The wall following control scheme by the PD control scheme is composed of two control parts, the approaching control and the orientation control, and each control is performed by steering and forward-driving motion of the robot. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the real time navigation experiments are performed. Through the result of the experiments, the effectiveness and flexibility of the suggested algorithm are verified in comparison with a pure encoder-guided mobile robot navigation system.

The laser welding of the car body and components has been spread in the automotive industry. The Nd:YAG laser welding system could be used in 3D welding with robot. However, this system cannot efficiently reduce the welding cycle time according to various welding sequences because the robot's moving time is same that of the resistant spot welding system. But the remote welding system with high power $CO_2$ laser and scanner makes it possible welding cycle time much faster than the robot laser welding system. In the $CO_2$ laser remote welding system, laser beam can be rapidly transferred to a workpiece by moving mirrors of scanner system. So, it makes reducing the cycle time of welding process and shaping various welding patterns easily. Therefore, in this paper, the characteristic of weld strength according to patterns of weld bead on $CO_2$ laser welding was investigated. Also, the relationship between shape of weld bead and value of tensile load was studied. Finally, the optimum remote welding condition for car bumper was investigated.

In this paper, it is shown how a mobile robot can navigate with high speed in dynamic real environment. In order to achieve high speed and safe navigation, a robot collects environmental information. A robot empirically memorizes locations of high risk due to the abrupt appearance of dynamic obstacles. After collecting sufficient data, a robot navigates in high speed in safe regions. This fact implies that the robot accumulates location dependent environmental information and the robot exploits its experiences in order to improve its navigation performance. This paper proposes a computational scheme how a robot can distinguish regions of high risk. Then, we focus on velocity control in order to achieve high speed navigation. The proposed scheme is experimentally tested in real office building. The experimental results clearly show that the proposed scheme is useful for improving a performance of autonomous navigation. Although the scope of this paper is limited to the velocity control in order to deal with unexpected obstacles, this paper points out a new direction towards the intelligent behavior control of autonomous robots based on the robot's experience.
