  • Acquiring precise coordinates of ground targets can be regarded as the key mission of the tactical-level military UAS(Unmanned Aerial System) operations. The coordinates deviations for the ground targets estimated from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) images may depend on the sensor specifications and slant ranges between UAV and ground targets. It has an order of several tens to hundreds of meters for typical tactical UAV mission scenarios. In this paper, we propose a scheme that precisely acquires target coordinates from UAS by mapping image pixels to geographical coordinates based on GCP(Ground Control Points). This scheme was implemented and tested from ground control station for UAS. We took images of targets of which exact location is known and acquired the target coordinates using our proposed scheme. The experimental results showed that errors of the acquired coordinates remained within an order of several meters and the coordinates accuracy was significantly improved.

  • Each robot plays a role of its own behavior in dynamic robot-soccer environment. One of the most necessary conditions to win a game is control of robot movement. In this paper we suggest a win strategy using Cellular Neural Network to set optimal path and cooperative behavior, which divides a soccer ground into grid-cell based ground and has robots move a next grid-cell along the optimal path to approach the moving target.

  • This study was conducted to develop an electro-hydraulic three-point hitch control system using an electro-hydraulic servo valve and microcomputer and to investigate the performance of the three-point hitch control system through indoor and field experiments. 1. The results from indoor experiments coincided with those from computer simulation reported in the previous paper. However, the draft control with the value 4 of Kd showed a slight sustained oscillation after it reached the draft set. 2. From the field experiments, it appeared that the RMS errors increased with the ground speed of tractor. In position control, the three-point hitch control system with electro-hydraulic servo valve showed better performance than that with on-off electro-magnetic valve in the ground speed less than 1.6 m/s. In draft control, however, there was no significant differece in performance between those two systems. 3. In depth control, the both types of electro-hydraulic three-point hitch control system showed better performance than the conventional mechanical-hydraulic three-point hitch control system.

  • Relaxed static stability(RSS) concept has been applied to improve aerodynamic performance of modern version supersonic jet fighter aircraft. Therefore, flight control systems are necessary to stabilize an unstable aircraft, and provides adequate handling qualities and achieve performance enhancements. Standard FCSDVP (Flight Control System Design and Verification Process) is provided to reduce development period of the flight control system. In addition, if this process is employed in developing flight control system, it reduces the trial and error for development and verification of flight control system. This paper addresses the flight control system design and verification process for the RSS aircraft utilizing design goal based on military specifications, linear and nonlinear system design and verification based on universal software, handling quality test based on HILS(Hardware In-the-Loop Simulator) environment, and ground and flight test results to verify aircraft dynamic flight responses.

  • Basically the dynamics of the fixed-wing aircraft is based on the airspeed which is relative to the wind, but when it comes to the track guidance and control, ground speed is the factor to be considered. Especially in the case of low-speed fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles the difference between the airspeed and the ground speed is significant depending on wind conditions, so that the heading control and the course control have to be designed separately. This paper represents the course control method using the pre-designed heading control gains which meet the desired characteristics. Also, waypoint guidance and control algorithms are suggested applying this control method. Finally the robustness of the proposed method is confirmed by 6-DoF nonlinear simulation.

  • This paper proposes a distributed model predictive formation control algorithm for a group of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) with guaranteeing collision avoidance between UGVs. Generally, the model predictive control based formation control has a disadvantage in that it takes a long time to compute control inputs when considering collision avoidance between UGVs. In this paper, in order to overcome this problem, the formation control algorithm is implemented in a distributed manner so that it could be individually controlled. Also, a collision-avoidance method considering real-time is proposed. The proposed formation control algorithm is implemented based on robot operating system (ROS), open source-based middleware. Through the various simulation tests, it is confirmed that the formation control of five UGVs is successfully performed while avoiding collisions between UGVs.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the addition levels of a phosphate replacer blend in ground pork sausages. The phosphate replacer consisted of 0.2% oyster shell calcium powder, 0.3% egg shell calcium powder, and 0.25% whey protein concentrate. Depending on the presence or absence of synthetic phosphate and the addition level of phosphate replacer, the following products were processed: control (+) (0.3% phosphate), control (-) (non-phosphate), 20AL (20% replacer), 40AL (40% replacer), 60AL (60% replacer), 80AL (80% replacer), and 100AL (100% replacer). The pH values of pork sausages increased (p<0.05) with increasing addition level of the phosphate replacer. When more than 40% of the phosphate replacer was added to pork samples (40AL, 60AL, 80AL, and 100AL), cooking loss was significantly reduced compared to both the control (+) and control (-). However, no significant differences were observed in the moisture content and CIE $L^*$ values between the controls and the treatments with a phosphate replacer. The control (+) and 100AL treatment had the highest (p<0.05) hardness, but the samples with the phosphate replacer were not significantly different in cohesiveness and springiness from the control (+). As addition level increased, the gumminess and chewiness of the products with the phosphate replacer increased, which were lower than those of the control (+). Therefore, more than 40% of a phosphate replacer may possibly substitute synthetic phosphate to improve product yields in ground pork sausages, although further studies may be needed for improving the textural properties of the final products.

  • To provide more instructive and a safer ground control operation environments for satellite operators, and subsequently to implement a better look-and-feel user interface and a structural mechanism to enhance the efficiency of control and monitoring facilities, we have developed a prototype(laboratory model) ground control softwares targeting for the first generation KOREASAT scheduled to be launched in 1995. As far as the functionality is concerned, the developed system is covering almost all the mission phase operational functions except for some functions like antenna tracking control that are necessary for real operation environments. Most of the functions of the system is realized in softwares but some hardwares needed for TM/TC RF communications are also included in it. The system is now being integrated and under the system test. The performance and functionality is to be evaluated by the end of this year by using the satellite software simulator. Next year, this system could be configured to be used as a workbench for a online/off-line analysis of the operating KOREASAT satellites.

  • The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate ground-based experiment for the attitude control of spacecraft. A two-axis rotational simulator with a flexible ann is constructed with on-off air thrusters as actuators. The simulator is also equipped with payload pointing capability by simultaneous thruster and DC servo motor actuation. The azimuth angle is controlled by on-off thruster command while the payload elevation angle is controlled by a servo-motor. A thruster modulation technique PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) employing a time-optimal switching function plus integral error control is proposed. An optical camera is used for the purpose of pointing as well as on-board rate sensor calibration. Attitude control performance based upon the new closed-loop control law is demonstrated by ground experiment. The modified switching function turns out to be effective with improved pointing performance under external disturbance. The rate sensor calibration technique by Kalman Filter algorithm led to reduction of attitude error caused by the bias in the rate sensor output.
