Many methods were proposed for insulation degradation diagnosis to High voltage and capacity Transformer in live. IDD is difficult by those methods because insulation degradation circumstances and characteristics of electrical plant are different with other Therefore, it is necessary to design diagnosis algorithms fitting for each. In this paper, We develop IIDS that used diagnosis algorithm with fuzzy model and hardware with MCU.

The most important technique for an indoor robot navigation is to find out the direction and the distance from the current location to the destination through the information achieved from the sensor. For this purpose, we suggest sensor-based local homing method which compares the destination sensory data with the current location. As for the sensors, we use the CCD camera and the ultrasonic sensor, and recorded entire 360 degree panoramic data. We match the features of the image data, and the distance and the direction of the matched point will be considered as fuzzy numbers. Through a simple fuzzy arithmetic, we infer the geometric relations between the current location and the destination location.

This paper proposes adaptive impedance control algorithm using fuzzy inference when robot contacts with its environments. The characteristics of the adaptive impedance controller is to adapt with parametric uncertainty and nonlinear conditions. The control algorithm is to join impedance controller with fuzzy inference engine. The proposed control method overcomes the problem of impedance controller using gain-tuning algorithm of fuzzy inference engine. We implemented an experimental set-up consisting of environment-generated one-link robot system and DSP system for controller development. We apply the adaptive fuzzy impedance controller to one-link root system, and it shows the good performance on regulating the interactive force in case of contacting with arbitrary environment.

This paper describes a fuzzy steering controller for an autonomous mobile robot with MR sensor. Using the magnetic field($B_{x}$, $B_{y}$, $B_{z}$) obtained from the MR sensor, we designed fuzzy controller for driving on the road center. Fuzzy rule base was built to magnetic field($B_{x}$, $B_{y}$, $B_{z}$). To develop an autonomous mobile robot simulation program, we have done modeling MR sensor, dynamic model of mobile robot and coordinate transformation. A computer simulation of the robot (including mobile robot dynamics and steering) was used to verify the steering performance of the mobile robot controller using the fuzzy logic. Good results were obtained by computer simulation. So, we confirmed the robustness of the proposed fuzzy controller by computer simulation. Also, we know that proposed control algorithm was applied to real autonomous mobile robot.

Existing Bayesian update method using ultrasonic sensors only for mobile robot map building has a problem of the quality of map being degraded in the wall with irregularity, which is caused by the wide beam distribution. For improving this problem, an infrared sensors aided map building method is presented in this paper. Information of obstacle at each region in ultrasonic sensor beam is acquired using the infrared sensors and the information is used to get the confidence of ultrasonic sensor information via fuzzy inference system and genetic algorithm. Combining the resulting confidence with the result of Bayesian update method, an improve map is constructed. The proposed method showed good results in the simulations and experiments.

This paper presents a hybrid navigation system for AUV to locate its position precisely in rough sea. The tracking system is composed of various sensors such as an inclinometer, a tri-axis magnetometer, a flow meter, and a super short baseline(SSBL) acoustic position tracking system. Due to the inaccuracy of the attitude sensors, the heading sensor and the flowmeter, the predicted position slowly drifts and the estimation error of position becomes larger. On the other hand, the measured position is liable to change abruptly due to the corrupted data of the SSBL system in the case of low signal to noise ratio or large ship motions. By introducing a sensor fusion technique with the position data of the SSBL system and those of the attitude heading flowmeter reference system (AHFRS), the hybrid navigation system updates the three-dimensional position robustly. A Kalman filter algorithm is derived on the basis of the error models for the flowmeter dynamics with the use of the external measurement from the SSBL. A failure detection algorithm decides the confidence degree of external measurement signals by using a fuzzy inference. Simulation is included to demonstrate the validity of the hybrid navigation system.

Localization is one of the fundamental problems in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that forms the basis for many location-aware applications. Localization in WSNs is to determine the position of node based on the known positions of several nodes. Most of previous localization method use triangulation or multilateration based on the angle of arrival (AOA) or distance measurements. In this paper, we propose an enhanced centroid localization method based on edge weights of adjacent nodes using fuzzy modeling and genetic algorithm when node connectivities are known. The simulation results shows that our proposed centroid method is more accurate than the simple centroid method using connectivity only.

In this paper, We designed the local path planning direction algorithmusing fuzzy controller applied fuzzy logic. Algorithm decieded a direction angle by theposition of obstacle, the distance with obstacle, the progress direction of robot, the speed of vehicles and the perception area of sensor. The robot designed with proposed algorithm carried out soft moving without any particular operation, and we could observe that it had very soft curved moving as if an expert drove.

A windshield wiper system plays a key part in assurance of driver's safety at rainfall. However, because quantity of rain and snow vary irregularly according to time and velocity of automotive, a driver changes speed and operation period of a wiper from time to time in order to secure enough visual field in the traditional windshield wiper system. Because a manual operation of windshield wiper distracts driver's sensitivity and causes inadvertent driving, this is becoming direct cause of traffic accident. Therefore, this paper presents the basic architecture of vision-based smart windshield wiper system and the rain sensing algorithm that regulate speed and operation period of windshield wiper automatically according to quantity of rain or snow. Also, this paper introduces the fuzzy wiper control algorithm based on human's expertise, and evaluates performance of suggested algorithm in simulator model. In especial, the vision sensor can measure wide area relatively than the optical rain sensor. hence, this grasp rainfall state more exactly in case disturbance occurs.
