This study presents the structure and the gate control algorithm of KAMOBOT (KAIST Mobile Robot). The mobile robot has a six-legged, cylindrical configuration, each leg of which is equiped with a wheel at the bottom. The robot can go up and down stairs, go over obstacles, move along curvilinear paths and rotate around it's geometric center. Such maneuverability can be achieved by using only three electric motors.

The performance test for 376MW ESS for frequency regulation currently operating in 13 substations is conducted based on the test procedure in the first and second steps. In the first step, components of ESS is moved to the certification authority where the test equipment is located in order to be proceeded with the test. In the second step, the performance test is conducted manually for the ESS equipments installed on site using the movable measurement equipment, and thus it can only be performed on some limited test items and requires a lot of time and manpower. Therefore, mobile test equipment for ESS(MOTES) is being developed that can perform automatically more test items for ESS in the field using the MOTES, and reduce manpower and time. To do this, an algorithm and a prototype of the operating system(MOS) are also being developed that can control MOTES automatically. In this paper, a development of the MOS prototype is introduced and then a simulation is performed to verify the prototype and its algorithm before the field demonstration.

A mobile robot in FMS environment should be able to nevigate itself. Therefore, path planning is necessary for the mobile robot to perform its tasks without being lost. Path planning using a network model gives oprimal paths to every pair of nodes but building this model demands accurate information of environments. In this paper, a method to build a network model using sonar sensors is presented. The main idea is to build a quad tree model by using sonar sensors and convert the model to a network model for path planning. The new method has been implemented on a mobile robot. Experimental results show that the mobile robot constructs an accurate network model using inaccurate sonar data.

We consider some problems of remote file accesses of multiple clients in mobile computing environments. In this environment, user mobility affects file access latency. Mobile hosts have severe resource constraints in terms of limited size of non-volatile storage. Thus, the burden of computation and communication load raise file access latency. In this paper, we propose a scheme for reducing the file access latency through the file migration. The objective is to minimize of file accesses for all mobile hosts which delivering the file to clients as quickly as possible. We develope an on-demand scheme which determines when the file server should migrate files to another server, or when it should transfer files to mobile hosts. Using simulation, we examine the effects which parameters such as file access frequency, file size, mobility rate have on file system access latency. Through simulation results, we show that our proposed migration scheme is effective in reducing the access latency on the requested file of a mobile host with high access rate and low mobility.

Currently, the electric fire prediction system uses PIC(Peripheral Interface Controller) for controller microprocessor. PIC has a slower computing speed than DSP does, so its real-time computing ability is inadequate. So with the basic characteristics waveform during arc generation as the standard reference, the comparison to this reference is used to predict and alarm electric fire from arc. While such alarm can be detected and taken care of from a remote central server, that prediction error rate is high and remote control in mobile environment is not available. In this article, the arc detection of time domain and frequency domain and wavelet-based adaptation algorithm executing the adaptation algorithm in conversion domain were applied to develop an electric fire prediction system loaded with new real-time arc detection algorithm using DSP. Also, remote control was made available through iPhone environment-based app development which enabled remote monitoring for arc's electric signal and power quality, and its utility was verified.

A location estimate problem is critical issues for mobile robot. Because it is basic problem in practical use of the mobile robot which do what, or move where, or reach an aim. Already there are many technologies of robot localization (like GPS, vision, sonar sensor, etc) used on development. But the elevation of accurateness was brought the problem that must consider an increase of a hardware cost and addition electric power in each ways. There is the core in question to develop available and accurate sensing algorithm though it is economical. We used a ultrasonic sensor and was going to implement comparatively accurate localization though economical. Using a sensing data, we could make a grid map and estimate a position of a mobile robot. In this paper, to get a satisfactory answer about this problem using a ultrasonic sensor.

Electric commerce system based on distributed mobile on object such as mobile agents need both precise identification and secure authentication scheme on remotemobile entities. In this paper, existing discrete logarithm based Schnorr like entity authentication schemes are improved by the analysis of performance and security on the bi-directional interactive proofs. And ElGamal like schemes are also proposed. Then, there are enhanced with oblivious transfer based mono-directional authentication schemes based on trusted third party for applying to the mobile agent based computing systems. Therefore, proposed schemes provide compatible performance and safety on mobile entity authentication process.

This paper describes the power line proximity warning device for mobile crane by using the induced voltage measurement method. A mobile crane worker can be easily exposed to dangerous electrical shock and the electrocution while this are working at near the high-voltage electrical lines. In this paper, the derivation electric-potential of the power lines are simulated and microprocessor-based detecting device and transmitter/receiver modules are introduced to show a solution for the dangerous mobile crane working environment.

A worst-case estimate of an envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is obtained for small multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mobile antennas operating below 1 GHz. The worst-case estimate is numerically derived in this paper using spherical and exponential wave functions. The derived result confirms that the worst-case ECC can be easily obtained from the rotation angle between the radiation patterns of two MIMO elements, which are attained directly from the amplitude of 2D electric field patterns without any additional phase and polarization information. As a practical example, MIMO mobile antennas with different antenna element arrangements are compared to verify the validity of the proposed worst-case estimate. Moreover, based on these analyses, we also suggest an effective approach to reduce the ECC of a small MIMO mobile antenna operating below 1 GHz by properly locating the antenna elements to make the radiation patterns perpendicular to each other.

This paper suggests a new film-type haptic actuator based on cellulose acetate electro-active paper. Conventional tiny haptic actuators in mobile devices can create vibrotactile sensation at only near resonant frequency. The strategy of operating near the resonant frequency, however, brought a new issue for creating vibrotactile sensation which can be strong enough to feel in arbitrary frequency. Another problem is that the size of the conventional actuator is not small enough to be embedded into slim mobile devices. In order to achieve these issues, we propose a thin and tiny actuator based on a cellulose acetate material charged with an electric potential. The motion of the actuator can be a concave or a convex by controlling a polarity of both charged membranes and the actuator performance can be modulated by increasing level of biased electric potential.
