As the proliferation of smart phone, almost every user has one's own smart phone, and the user could get the global position and location based services using GPS system outdoors. But indoor positioning system using GPS does not work, and it could not detect global position using TDOA local positioning system. In this paper, a new indoor global positioning system for smart phone employing GPS receiver and electronic compass device is proposed with the TDOA local positioning system using acoustic signal, and the performance and the experimental result are described.

이 논문은 실내에서 로봇의 주행 시 생기는 오차를 수정하는 것이다. 실내에 있는 장애물(문턱)을 넘을 경우 슬립에 의하여 주행거리와 실제거리의 오차가 생기고 또한 헤드 앵글 값이 변화함에 따라서 차후 엄청난 주행 오차를 발생시키게 된다. 그에 따라 PSD 센서를 이용하여 장애물을 감지하고 감지 후 장애물을 넘을 수 있도록 모터를 제어한다. 또한 PSD를 이용하여 장애물의 크기를 계산한 후 로봇이 장애물을 넘는 동안에 엔코더 값을 받아 들여서 장애물을 넘는 동안에 로봇이 실제 이동한 거리를 측정한다. 그리고 장애물을 넘은 후에 PSD로 계산한 장애물의 크기 값과 엔코더에서 받아들인 값을 비교하여 거리오차를 수정한다. 또한 전자컴퍼스를 이용하여 장애물을 넘기 전에 로봇의 헤드 앵글 값을 구하고, 장애물을 넘은 후에 로봇의 헤드 앵글 값을 구하여 두 개의 값을 비교한다. 두 개의 값의 차이를 측정하여 수정함으로써 헤드 앵글을 오차를 수정할 수 있다.

Recently, Electronic Distance Meter(EDM) is widely used for the traverse surveying and trilateration net. In this study, the closed traverse network is precisely adjusted by simultaneous adjustment of the observed angle and distance, using the Electronic Total Stations (Set 3). And also, it is examined that each kind accidental errors appear observed angles according to the observed distance and the number of repeating angle. In addition to the result, of checking between the simultaneous adjustment, the compass rule and transit rule, simultaneous adjustment in combination of the observed angle and distance is more accurate and effective than other adjustment.

The integrated navigation system(INS) for fishing boat which organized the marine radar, global positioning system(GPS) compass, automatic identification system(AIS), echo sounder, GPS and electronic nautical chart(ENC) was manufactured to reduce the marine accidents of fishing boats occurred frequently at coastal and offshore. The application possibility of INS for fishing boat was examined for basic experiments in the sea. Integration display of various information, such as other vessel's behavior, depth, own vessel's position etc. was done to help the operate user who understood the circumstance around own boat. Therefore, the system will be utilized as a useful equipment for safety voyage and fishing work on the fishing ground.

This research aims to develop a voyage performance monitoring system based on international standards. The developed system is equipped with an electronic navigational chart(ENC) that provides onshore and offshore information, as well as supports standardized interfaces with navigational equipment, such as a gyro compass, a differential global positioning system(DGPS), and an automatic identification system(AIS), to monitor the navigation route in real time. In addition, the proposed system adopts a car navigation system to provide a graphical user interface, an intuitive menu-driven configuration, and an easy guide for safer sea navigation. The system, interfaced with the gyro compass and DGPS, was verified without any data loss, and passed a test conducted under extreme conditions by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme(KOLAS). Finally, the system contributes to preventing collision of vessels and minimizing casualties by maximizing the convenience of mariners which a conventional system does not provide.

This paper is presented to study the error minimization of angular velocity for AGV(autonomous ground vehicle). The error minimization of angular velocity is related to localization technique which is the most important technique for autonomous vehicle. Accelerometer, yaw gyro and electronic compass have been used to measure angular velocity. And methods for error minimization of angular velocity have been actively studied through probabilistic methods and sensor fusion for AGVs. However, those sensors still occure accumulated error by mathematical error, system characters of each sensor, and computational cost are increased greatly when several sensor are used to correct accumulated error. Therefore, this paper studies about error minimization of angular velocity that just uses encoder and gyro. To experiment, we use autonomous vehicle which is made by ourselves. In experimental result, we verified that the localization error of proposed method has even less than the localization errors which we just used encoder and gyro respectively.

Automatic automobile has been studied as the alternative energy system and the production flow automation device recently. But this is dependent on the import production, and its position cannot be controlled free from the fixed path. It is difficult to control the automobile position because of the eccentricity of inertia monent, slip and roughness between wheel and road surface. This problems is solved for the controller to be feedbacked the data of the multi-sensor system consisting of the rotary encoder and electronic compass. The proportional Integrated controller in the modified Ziegler-Nichols method is made up with Hitachi 7034 microprocessor. To the real time control the mechanical, electrical and electronic hardware and software device is produced by myself. The RF data of automobile speed and position is supplied to the remote PC to be displayed the automobile condition. By the experinent of the forward, spin, point path planning, it is known for autombile.

We present a micro fluxgate magnetic sensor having solenoid coils and racetrack shaped magnetic core, which was designed to decrease the .operating power and magnetic flux leakage. Electroplated copper coils of $6\;{\mu}m$ thickness and the core of $3\;{\mu}m$ thickness were separated by benzocyclobutane (BCB) having a high insulation and good planarization characters. Permalloy $(Ni_{0.8}Fe_{0.2})$ as a magnetic core was also electroplated under 2000 gauss to induce the magnetic anisotropy. The core had the high DC effective permeability of $\~1,300$ and coercive field of $\~0.1$ Oe. The fabricated fluxgate sensor had the very small actual size of $3.0\times1.7\;mm^2$. The fluxgate sensor with a racetrack shaped core had the high sensitivity .of $\~350$ V/T at excitation condition of 3 $V_{P-P}$ and 2 MHz square wave. When two fluxgates were perpendicularly aligned in terrestrial field, their two-axis output signals were very useful to commercialize an electronic azimuth compass for the portable navigation system.

We are developing a biomimetic robot based on the Sea Lamprey. The robot consists of a cylindrical electronics bay propelled by an undulatory body axis. Shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators generate propagating flexion waves in five undulatory segments of a polyurethane strip. The behavior of the robot is controlled by an electronic nervous system (ENS) composed of networks of discrete-time map-based neurons and synapses that execute on a digital signal processing chip. Motor neuron action potentials gate power transistors that apply current to the SMA actuators. The ENS consists of a set of segmental central pattern generators (CPGs), modulated by layered command and coordinating neuron networks, that integrate input from exteroceptive sensors including a compass, accelerometers, inclinometers and a short baseline sonar array (SBA). The CPGs instantiate the 3-element hemi-segmental network model established from physiological studies. Anterior and posterior propagating pathways between CPGs mediate intersegmental coordination to generate flexion waves for forward and backward swimming. The command network mediates layered exteroceptive reflexes for homing, primary orientation, and impediment compensation. The SBA allows homing on a sonar beacon by indicating deviations in azimuth and inclination. Inclinometers actuate a bending segment between the hull and undulator to allow climb and dive. Accelerometers can distinguish collisions from impediment to allow compensatory reflexes. Modulatory commands mediate speed control and turning. A SBA communications interface is being developed to allow supervised reactive autonomy.

High sensitivity magnetic sensor having foreign metal detection capability is proposed utilizing giant magneto-impedance effect. Strip sensor showed the increasing output voltage when the external magnetic field was applied along with strip from strip grounding point, although the initial DC voltage varied depending on the pointing direction of strip sensor. Proposed sensor was able to eliminate more than half of background noise using active noise filter to achive high sensitivity, and it showed the capability to detect magnetized foreign metal object independent of ambient electro-magnetic noise and earth magnet. In case of ferrous sphere, the metal detection up to 0.8mm diameter was experimentally demonstrated at 5mm distance from strip sensor.
