The purpose of this research was to identify expertise in ait traffic control by using cognitive skill analysis for novices and experts in routine and non-routine situations. The result of study was to understand expertise in air traffic control tasks in terms of what cognitive processes are responsible for the expert's high performance levels. The problem solving task was difficult for novices, but performed relatively automatically by experts in a routine situation. The difficulty could indicate the presence of controlled processing. Rather than rules and strategies, novices focused more on environmental factors, which merely increase cognitive load. In a non-routine situation, novices showed that they did not categorize the information consistently and alternative resources were not available for them. Experts, however, performed automatically a task by arranging and organizing information related to problem solving components in contexts without regard to a routine and non-routine situation. Especially experts developed a stable representation and directed alternative resources for air traffic flow and efficiency. Based on the results, cognitive processes of experts could be useful to understand expert performance and analyze the learning process, which imply the necessity of developing expertise systematically.

According to abrupt decrese in number of farmer and ageing society, there has been a need for development of low cost agricultural robot. In this paper, a H/W and S/W platform of caterpillar type agricultural chemical dusting robot based on XP embedded system were described. The developed agricultural robot has 2 d.o.f caterpillar type driving wheel and 2 d.o.f chemical dusting spray mechanical system. The H/W platform of the agricultural robot consists of robot controller, remote controller and sensor controller. In S/W platform, 5 processes work concurrently, which are task manager, TCP-IP communication process, localization process, wheel control, and sensor control process. This robot platform has been developed for chemical dusting robot. We proved this system's validity through field test.

The realization of high quality robot control needs the improvement of computing speed of controller. In this paper, parallel processing method is considered for this purpose. A S/W algorithm for task scheduling is developed first, and then, an appropriate H/W structure is proposed. This scheme is applied to calculate inverse kinematics of PUMA robot. The simulation results show that the computing time when using three 8086/87's is reduced to 4.23 msec compared to 10 msec in case using one 8086/87.

In this study, a Self-learning Neural-Fuzzy Networks is presented, Because of the fuzzy controller property, the designing problems of fuzzy if-then rules, membership functions and inference methods are very complex task. Thus in this paper we proposed the Neural-Fuzzy Networks composed by Sugeno and Takagi's fuzzy inference method and learned by using temporal back propagation algorithm. The proposed method can refine automatically the fuzzy if-then rules without human expert's knowledges. The induction motor servo system is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme and the feasibility of the acquired fuzzy controller. All results are supported by simulation.

A new active neuro-control strategy for seismic response reduction using modal states is proposed. In order to apply the neuro-control strategy to the given structural system it is needed to select state variables used as inputs into the neural network. If the degrees of freedom of the analytical model is large, there are so many possible combinations of the state variables. And selecting state variables is very complicated and troublesome task for the designer. In order to avoid this problem, the proposed control system adopts modal states as inputs. Since the modal states contain the information of the whole structural system's behavior, it is proper to use modal states as inputs of the neuro-controller. The simulation results show that the proposed the proposed active neuro-control strategy is quite effective to reduce seismic responses. In addition, the consuming time for training proposed neuro-controller is quite shorter than that for the conventional neuro- controller. The results of this investigation, therefore, indicate that the proposed active neuro-control strategy using modal states as the inputs could be effectively used for control seismically excited structures.

This paper proposes a more accurate task level energy measurement technique for high speed microprocessors. The technique is based on the relationship of the amount of current consumed by the microprocessor and the pulse width of the power supply controller chip, employed in the synchronous buck DC-DC converter in the microprocessor's power supply. The accuracy of the measurement is accomplished by measuring variation in pulse width in each power supply cycle. The major advantage of this technique is that its accuracy does not depend on the operating frequency of the microprocessor. To prove the proposed technique, we implemented the measurement unit of the microprocessor energy meter using an FPGA chip operating at 50 MHz. Both static and dynamic load measurement are tested in order to obtain some behaviours. Moreover, various commercially available mainboards which employ synchronous buck regulators at 200 KHz switching frequency, were measured. The results agree with previous works with better accuracy at higher operating frequency.

A new method for a guide robot using Real-Time Linux OS is introduced in this paper. A guide robot is to guide people in museums or buildings. So it has to be more reliable and stable in its control system. In addition, it has to satisfy Real-Time operation requirement because it needs to react to changing environment prompty. The task includes localization, map building, collision avoidance, path planning, and user interface software. The modular guide robot is designed with Real-Time Linux OS, which is composed of many open sources for scheduler, interrupt dispatcher, fifos, shared memory, timer services. We developed application software to satisfy the given task. The developed guide robot moves at 0.2ms and the interrupt latency is less than 100$\mu\textrm{s}$ It is thought that the developed system can be a stable and low cost open architecture robot controller for ...

This paper deals with a study on the automatic depalletizing robot for parcels loaded in rolltainer of domestic postal distribution centers. Specifically, we proposed a robot system that detect parcels loaded in a rolltainer with a 3D camera and perform de-palletizing using a cooperative robot. In addition, we developed the task flow chart for parcel de-palletizing and the method of retreat motion generation in the case of collision with rolltainer. Then, we implemented the proposed methods to the robot's controller by developing robot program. The proposed robot system was installed at the Anyang Post Distribution Center and field tests were completed. Field tests have shown that the robotic system has a success rate of over 90% for depalletizing task. And it was confirmed that the average tact time per parcel was 7.3 seconds.

This paper deals with the design and development of a real-time integrated communication architecture for heterarchical SFCS(Shop Floor Control System). In autonomous agent-based heterarchical SFCS, each functional unit of parts and resources is equipped with an intelligent controller (agent) that acts as the representative of the entity. The controllers communicate and negotiate with other controllers on a real-time basis through message passing and bidding protocol to achieve mutual agreements for task sharing. ICPL(Integrated Communication Protocol and Language) is proposed for this purpose. ICPL is a language and a protocol for supporting communication among intelligent controllers. Based on the speech act theory, this paper proposes a semantic description for ICPL that associates the description of the cognitive states of controllers with the use of language primitives (message_type). Semantics for the basic set of ICPL messages is described. Eventually, an ICPL-based communication architecture can provide the implementation of the distributed and heterarchical SFCS, and makes the intelligent controller transparent to the negotiation problem.
