This paper presents the psychomotorik-based play activities executed by the social robot at home which helps children's social and emotional development. Based on the theory and practice of the psychomotorik therapy, the play activities were implemented in the close collaboration between psychmotorik experts, service designers and robotics engineers. The designed play activities are classified into four categories depending on the main areas of child development. The robotic system that can express verbal and nonverbal behaviors was developed in order to play games with children and but also to make children have continuous interest during the play activities with it. Finally, the psychomotorik-based play service scenario and interactive robot system were validated by the expert group from the domain of child psychotherapy. The evaluation results showed that the play service and the robot system were appropriately developed for children from the experts point of view.

An unmanned surveillance robot consists of a machine gun, a laser receiver, a thermal imager, a color CCD camera, and a laser illuminator. It has two axis control systems for elevation and azimuth. Because the current robot system is mounded at a fixed post to take care of surveillance tasks, it is necessary to modify such a surveillance robot to be installed on an UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) system in order to watch blind areas. Thus, it is required to have a stabilization system to compensate the disturbance from the UGV. In this paper, a simulation based design scheme has been adopted to develop a mobile surveillance robot. The 3D CAD geometry model has first been produced by using Pro-Engineer. The required pan and tilt motor capacities have been analyzed using ADAMS inverse dynamics analysis. A target tracking and stabilization control algorithm of the mobile surveillance robot has been developed in order to compensate the motion of the vehicle which will experience the rough terrain. To test the performance of the stabilization control system of the robot, ADAMS/simulink co-simulations has been carried out.

It is desirable that the guard robot should be small-sized and light-weighted to increase its portability. In addition, it should be able to overcome a relatively high obstacle to cope with different situations. The jumping robot can reach a higher place more rapidly than other locomotion methods. This research proposes the jumping mechanism based on the conical spring for a small robot. Both the clutch mechanism and conical spring are incorporated into the jumping mechanism. In the clutch mechanism, the spring can be immediately compressed and released by one actuator with the planetary gear train and one-way clutch. The robot equipped with the jumping mechanism can overcome the obstacles which are higher than its height. In this paper, the characteristic of the conical spring for the jumping robot is determined and the small-sized, lightweight jumping mechanism is developed. The validity of the jumping mechanism was verified by various experiments. It is shown that the robot using this mechanism can provide good mobility in the rough terrain.

In this paper, we propose a two-degree-of-freedom snake robot head system and an I-PID (Intelligent Proportional-Integral-Derivative)-based controller utilizing RBF (Radial Basis Function) neural network and adaptive robust terms as a control strategy to reduce rotation occurring in the snake robot head. This study proposes a two-degree-of-freedom snake robot head system to avoid complex snake robot dynamics. This system has a control system independent of the snake robot. Subsequently, it utilizes an I-PID controller to implement a control system that can effectively manage rotation at the snake robot head, the robot's nonlinearity, and disturbances. To compensate for the time delay estimation errors occurring in the I-PID control system, an RBF neural network is integrated. Additionally, an adaptive robust term is designed and integrated into the control system to enhance robustness and generate control inputs responsive to signal changes. The proposed controller satisfies stability according to Lyapunov's theory. The proposed control strategy was tested using a 9-degreeof-freedom snake robot. It demonstrates the capability to reduce rotation in Lateral undulation, Rectilinear, and Sidewinding locomotion.

In many industries, the accurate and quick checking of goods in storage is of great importance. Most today's inventory checking is based on bar code scanning, but the relative position between a bar code and an optical scanner should be maintained in close distance and proper angle for the successful scanning. This requirement makes it difficult to fully automate the inventory information/control systems. The use of RFID technology can be a solution for overcoming this problem. The mobile robot presented in this paper is equipped with an RFID tag scanning system, that automates the otherwise manual or semi-automatic inventory checking process. We designed the robot system in a quite practical approach, and the developed system is close to the commercialization stage. In our experiments, the robot could collect information of goods stacked on shelves autonomously without any failure and maintain corresponding database while it navigated predefined paths between the shelves using vision.

This paper introduces a development of an internet based robot on the view of product development for hardware and software convergences. The robot can report moving images of remote places and navigate there autonomously. In addition it can be controlled by remote users through wireless internet. Even the control program for the robot can be updated by the remote users during the regular operation mode. This paper provides a consistent product data model and generic product development processes that can support the development of the robot, a convergence of various hardware and software parts. It also includes discussions and experiences about the development of the convergence product.

최근 로봇 소프트웨어 플랫폼의 연구는 로봇 기기들의 추상화를 통해 지능형 서비스를 제공하는데 초점을 두고 있다. 사물인터넷 환경에서 지능형 로봇 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 이기종 센서들의 환경정보를 인지하는 상황인지 기술이 필요하다. ROS는 로봇 디바이스를 추상화하는 기술을 바탕으로 로봇을 사용한다. ROS는 로봇을 제어하기 위해 이기종 센서 자체를 추상화하는 기능을 포함하고 있으나, 일관된 수집 방법을 통한 환경 정보를 바탕으로 로봇이 인지할 수 있는 상황 정보를 제공하는 기능은 결여되어 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 ROS가 상황인지 기반의 로봇 서비스를 제공하는데 필요한 중계 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 로봇이 인지할 수 있는 추상화된 상황정보를 제공하는 외부의 상황인지 시스템과 로봇을 제어하는 ROS를 중계하여, ROS가 상황인지 로봇 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 도와준다. 실험에서는 제안하는 시스템을 바탕으로, 상황인지 시스템과 ROS에서 추상화된 로봇 서비스를 연동하여 로봇 서비스를 실행시키는 과정을 보인다.

A component is a reusable and replaceable software module accessed through its interface. Component-based development is expected to shorten the development period, reduce maintenance costs, and improve program reusability and the interoperability of components. This paper proposes a new robot software component platform in order to support the entire process of robot software development. It consists of specifications of a component model, component authoring tool, component composer, and component execution engine. To show its feasibility, this paper presents the analysis results of the component's communication overhead, a comparison with other robotic software platforms, and applications in commercial robots.

RSSI 기반의 실내위치인식 시스템과 무선센서네트워크를 이용하여 자율 이동 로봇의 기능 중에서 가장 선행적으로 요구되는 위치추정 기능을 가진 지능형 실내위치추정 로봇을 설계, 구현하였다. 지능형 실내위치추정 로봇은 주제어장치로 Spartan III(Xilinx, USA)를 사용하였으며 실내위치인식 시스템에서 현재의 위치데이터를 수집하여 Zigbee/IEEE802.15.4 무선통신으로 전송을 하면 이동로봇에 부착되어 있는 무선센서 네트워크 노드에서 데이터를 수신받아서 위치를 인식하게 되고 Magnetic Compass의 데이터로 로봇이 향하고 있는 방향을 감지하여 목적지로 이동하게 된다. 이렇게 구성된 지능형 실내위치 추정 로봇은 장애물이 없는 평활 실내 공간에서 사용자가 원하는 목적지로 효율적이고 능동적으로 이동할 수 있었다.

In order to verify robot motions for a desired work, it is necessary to visualize it on a computer screen. This paper presents a simulation algorithm for robot manipulator motion. Kinematic description is based on the Denavit- Hartenberg link representation. In order to be applied to various types of the robot manipulator, inverse kinematics make use of the Newton-Raphson iterative method with the least squares method. Joint variables are interpolated by the lowest polynomial segment satisfying acceleration continuity. The robot motions are generated and then animated on a computer screen in the form of skeleton type.
