Recently, indoor sports simulator equipped with virtual reality devices, like screen golf system, are riding high. There have been many attempts to develop the indoor simulator systems which can make people enjoy exercises in various sports area. A real horseback riding could not have been popularized, because of the cost involved, difficulty to learn and its dangerousness. In this research, a robotic horseback riding platform based on parallel mechanism and virtual reality device is proposed. The proposed platform provides realistic riding feels and various levels of riding difficulty. The equipped motion capture system with a vision sensor enables riders to correct their riding posture based on expert's one. The developed horseback riding platform make it possible to enjoy a horseback riding in all weather, and also can be used for systematic horseback riding training.

This paper presents transmission parameters of DH(Dog-Horse) systems based on IEEE802.16e(WiBro) systems. DH requires higher uplink multimedia data rate, which is different from commercial WiBro systems. This paper designes some transmission parameters satisfying the DH system requirements and demonstrates link performance evaluation based on the parameters. For the transmission parameters, the number dwon/up link OFDM symbols are determined by 6/30, respectively. For reliable transmission of control signals, downlink modulation and coding rate are selected by QPSK, 1/2 coding rate and that of uplink is chosen by 16QAM 1/2 and 3/4 coding rate. Based on these parameters, computer simulations demonstrate the system performance of DH system.

In this paper, a new user interface for unmanned combat vehicle(UCV) is developed based on the mission planning and global path planning. In order to complete a tactical mission given to an UCV, it is essential to design an effective interface scheme between human and UCV considering changing combat environment and characteristics of the mission. The user interface is mainly composed of two parts, mission planning and global path planning, since they are important factors to accomplish combat missions. First of all, mission types of UCV are identified. Based on mission types, the concept of mission planning for UCVs is presented. Then a new method for global path planning is devised. It is capable of dealing with multiple grid maps to consider various combat factors so that paths suitable for the mission be generated. By combining these two, a user interface method is suggested. It is partially implemented in the Dog-horse Robot of ADD and its effectiveness is verified.

We develope a riding robot system named as "RideBot" for health-care and entertainments. An algorithm for estimating riding position and volition is proposed by using bio-signals. We analyze the riding position and volition in real-horse riding environments and build up the database. With this database and sensor informations, standard positions are made. For the volition estimation, we use the acceleration and deceleration sensor information and bridle information for direction change. We propose a hybrid control algorithm in which discrete-state and continuous-state controls are combined. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is evaluated thru various experiments.

Existing sports simulators on the market focus on the motion of platform or reality expression using basic visual contents, and are limited to entertainment products. Therefore, the stimulus on 5 senses is not good enough to be applied on high virtual reality. Moreover, there are not enough professional contents to be applied to an educational sports simulator. In this paper, we developed a sport platform by separating the multi axis based common platform module and the sports application module. We designed the common platform which has 4 degrees of freedom such as surge, sway, heave and yaw motion. This platform has the purpose of stabilizing motion and minimizing interference. The changeable sport module which is attached to the common module has 2 degrees of freedom such as roll and pitch, so that it can be applied to the various fields of 2 degrees of freedom virtual reality sports such as horse riding and yacht.
