이동로봇에 관한 연구가 널리 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 미지의 공간에서 효과적으로 장애물을 회피할 수 있는 SFLC(single-input fuzzy logic controller) 기반의 이동로봇의 주행 제어기 설계와 구현을 제안한다. 장애물의 위치와 거리 인식을 위해 초음파센서를 사용하였으며, 좌, 우측 바퀴의 각속도 출력 제어를 위하여 퍼지논리시스템 기반의 제어기를 설계하였다. 퍼지제어기의 퍼지화 방법은 싱글톤 방법, 추론법은 간략화된 Mamdani의 추론법, 비퍼지화 방법은 간략화된 무게중심법을 사용하였다. 제안한 퍼지제어기의 성능 및 실제 적용 가능성의 평가를 위해 이동로봇의 모델링에 근거한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과 이동로봇이 장애물을 피하면서 목표지점에 정확히 도착함을 확인하였다. 더욱이 기존의 2-입력 퍼지논리시스템 기반의 제어기로부터 단일 입력을 가지는 단순구조 퍼지논리제어기를 설계할 수 있음도 보였다.

In distributed autonomous robotic systems (DARS), each robot must behave by itself according to its states ad environments, and if necessary, must cooperate with other robots in order to carry out their given tasks. Its most significant merit is that they determine their behavior independently, and cooperate with other robots in order to perform the given tasks. Especially, in DARS, it is essential for each robot to have evolution ability in order to increase the performance of system. In this paper, a schema co-evolutionary algorithm is proposed for the evolution of collective autonomous mobile robots. Each robot exchanges the information, chromosome used in this algorithm, through communication with other robots. Each robot diffuses its chromosome to two or more robots, receives other robot's chromosome and creates new species. Therefore if one robot receives another robot's chromosome, the robot creates new chromosome. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by applying it to cooperative search problem.

In this paper, we present a new approach to detect and recognize human face in the image from vision camera equipped on the mobile robot platform. Due to the mobility of camera platform, obtained facial image is small and pose-various. For this condition, new algorithm should cope with these constraints and can detect and recognize face in nearly real time. In detection step, ‘coarse to fine’ detection strategy is used. Firstly, region boundary including face is roughly located by dual ellipse templates of facial color and on this region, the locations of three main facial features- two eyes and mouth-are estimated. For this, simplified facial feature maps using characteristic chrominance are made out and candidate pixels are segmented as eye or mouth pixels group. These candidate facial features are verified whether the length and orientation of feature pairs are suitable for face geometry. In recognition step, pseudo-convex hull area of gray face image is defined which area includes feature triangle connecting two eyes and mouth. And random lattice line set are composed and laid on this convex hull area, and then 2D appearance of this area is represented. From these procedures, facial information of detected face is obtained and face DB images are similarly processed for each person class. Based on facial information of these areas, distance measure of match of lattice lines is calculated and face image is recognized using this measure as a classifier. This proposed detection and recognition algorithms overcome the constraints of previous approach [15], make real-time face detection and recognition possible, and guarantee the correct recognition irregardless of some pose variation of face. The usefulness at mobile robot application is demonstrated.

This paper proposes a sensor-fusion technique where the data sets for the previous moments are properly transformed and fused into the current data sets to enable accurate measurement, such as, distance to an obstacle and location of the service robot itself. In the conventional fusion schemes, the measurement is dependent on the current data sets. As the results, more of sensors are required to measure a certain physical parameter or to improve the accuracy of the measurement. However, in this approach, instead of adding more sensors to the system, the temporal sequence of the data sets are stored and utilized for the measurement improvement. Theoretical basis is illustrated by examples and the effectiveness is proved through the simulations. Finally, the new space and time sensor fusion (STSF) scheme is applied to the control of a mobile robot in an unstructured environment as well as structured environment.

자율 이동 로봇군은 분산된 자기 조직의 동일 규칙하에 주어진 과제를 수행하는로봇의 집단을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 협조 행동을 위한 수행 과제로서 등간격 원을 형성하게 하였다. 여기서, 이를 수행하기 위한 알고리듬을 고안하였고 여기에 퍼지 시스템을 사용하여 알고리듬을 보완하였다. 이 알고리듬을 가지고 사뮬레이션을 통해 다양한 협조 행동 양식이 나타남을 알수 있으며 특히 이동 속도롤 증가 시켰을 때 카오틱 현상이 일어남을 알 수 있다. 그리고 리아프노프 지수를 계산하여 이 카오스 현상의 특성을 증명하였다.

It has been integrated into several navigation systems. This paper shows that system recognizes difficult indoor roads without any specific marks such as painted guide line or tape. In this method the robot navigates with visual sensors, which uses visual information to navigate itself along the read. The Neural Network System was used to learn driving pattern and decide where to move. In this paper, I will present a vision-based process for AMR(Autonomous Mobile Robot) that is able to navigate on the indoor read with simple computation. We used a single USB-type web camera to construct smaller and cheaper navigation system instead of expensive CCD camera.

본 논문에서는 uDEAS(Univariate Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches)를 이용하여 두 가지의 이동 로봇 최적 전역 경로 계획을 제안한다. 이동 로봇의 자율 주행을 위해서는 빠른 시간 내에 작업 공간에서의 최적 경로를 생성해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동 로봇의 실시간 최적 경로 계획을 위해 전역 경로 계획을 도입하여 장애물 지역과 비장애물 지역을 확인하고, 지도상의 노드점과 노트점을 이용하여 출발 지점과 도착 지점 사이의 기본 경로를 생성한다. 그리고 기본 경로를 사용하여 두 가지의 방법으로 경로를 생성하게 된다. 첫 번째 방법은 기본 경로에서 세 개의 노드점을 이용하여 대각선 경로를 생성하는 방법이다. 두 번째는 혼합 다항식의 파라미터를 uDEAS를 이용하여 탐색하고, 곡선 궤적을 생성하는 방법이다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 두개의 방법에 대해 비교 분석하였다.

Robot's technology was very simple and repetitive in the past. Nowadays, robots are required to perform intelligent operation. So, path planning has been studied extensively to create a path from start position to the goal position. In this paper, potential field algorithm was used for path planning in dynamic environments. It is used for a path plan of mobile robot because it is elegant mathematical analysis and simplicity. However, there are some problems. The problems are collision risk, avoidance path, time attrition. In order to resolve path problems, we amalgamated potential field algorithm with the artificial neural network system. The input of the neural network system is set using relative velocity and location between the robot and the obstacle. The output of the neural network system is used for the weighting factor of the repulsive potential function. The potential field algorithm problem of mobile robot's path planning can be improved by using artificial neural network system. The suggested algorithm was verified by simulations in various dynamic environments.

In this paper, we present a mobile robot localization solution by using a Ubiquitous Vision System (UVS). The collective information gathered by multiple cameras that are strategically placed has many advantages. For example, aggregation of information from multiple viewpoints reduces the uncertainty about the robots' positions. We construct UVS as a multi-agent system by regarding each vision sensor as one vision agent (VA). Each VA performs target segmentation by color and motion information as well as visual tracking for multiple objects. Our modified identified contractnet (ICN) protocol is used for communication between VAs to coordinate multitask. This protocol raises scalability and modularity of thesystem because of independent number of VAs and needless calibration. Furthermore, the handover between VAs by using ICN is seamless. Experimental results show the robustness of the solution with respect to a widespread area. The performance in indoor environments shows the feasibility of the proposed solution in real-time.
