로봇을 개발함에 있어 많이 겪는 어려움 중 하나는 열악한 시뮬레이션 환경 및 소프트웨어 개발이다. Microsoft사(社)의 MSRDS(Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio)는 3D시뮬레이션 환경과 로봇 구동을 위한 각종 표준화된 서비스들을 지원함으로써 이러한 문제점들을 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 원자력 발전소의 중 저준위 폐기물 저장창고 검사 로봇을 대상으로 MSRDS를 이용하여 3D 시뮬레이션 및 온라인 피드백 제어를 수행하였다. 로봇은 사륜으로 이루어져 있으며, 주행 환경 확인을 위한 카메라, 장애물 감시용 LRF(Laser Range Finer)센서, 주변 환경 감지를 위한 온도센서, 습도센서 및 MSRDS가 장착된 산업용 3D가 탑재되어 있다. MSRDS의 제어신호는 이벤트로 생성되어 3D 시뮬레이션 렌더링 시간과 동기화되며, Brick 서비스를 통해 전송된다. 피드백은 10ms 주기로 LRF 센서, Motor 엔코더 값을 받아 3D 시뮬레이션에 반영된다. 본 논문에서는 MSRDS의 시뮬레이션 및 실제 로봇과의 동기화 방식을 제시하며 구동 실험으로 검증하였다.

This paper introduces a robot platform which can do weeding while traveling between rice seedlings stably against irregular land surface of a paddy field. Also, an autonomous navigation technique that can track on stable state without any damage of the seedlings in the working area is proposed. Detection of the rice seedlings and avoidance knocking down by the robot platform is achieved by the sensor fusion of a laser range finder (LRF) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). These sensors are also used to control navigating direction of the robot to keep going along the column of rice seedling consistently. Deviation of the robot direction from the rice column that is sensed by the LRF is fed back to a proportional and derivative controller to obtain stable adjustment of navigating direction and get proper returning speed of the robot to the rice column.

Accurate target coordinate is very important in military operations especially field artillery's ground-to-ground attack and air-force's air-to-ground attack. DOS(or TAS) is used to acquire target coordinates from long distance. DOS is comprised of LRF and goniometer. LRF measures distance between DOS and target. Goniometer is comprised of azimuth and vertical angular sensors, DMC and internal GPS receiver. DOS must set the position and orientation(finding grid north) before measurement step(target coordinate acquisition). To improve accuracy of target coordinate, VRS RTK and reference point method are proposed in DOS setup step. VRS RTK provides accurate location coordinate with small deviations, providing high accuracy and precision in positioning and orientation. As a result, horizontal coordinate(easting and northing) accuracy is improved from 2.68 mil(C.L. = 0.95) mil to 0.58 mil(C.L. = 0.95).

In this paper we implement collision avoidance using an artificial potential field and remote control of a mobile robot through ROS(Robot Operating System) among the robot's middleware. We also apply dynamic reconfigure to a node of collision avoidance. The main purposes of ROS are sharing and cooperation. In order to make to fit the purpose of ROS, the hardware that frequently is used in the robot such as LRF and joystick, were reused as node that provide in the ROS.

This study aimed to suggest an alternative income generation (AIG) for local artisanal fisheries communities in the southern coastal area of Bangladesh, which is vulnerable to climate change. To analyze the problems of local artisanal fisheries caused by climate change, field surveys and in-depth interviews with fishermen and government officials were conducted. Livelihood risk factor (LRF) in the marine fishing sector included reduction of fishing days and fish production and damage to fishing vessels and fishing gear due to cyclone and sea-level rise. LRF in the aquaculture sector included cultured fish escape, reduction of aquaculture production, and water pollution due to Monsoon flood. A common challenge for two sectors was high interest rate on commercial loans. Small-scale tank aquaculture is recommended as AIG for securing income of artisanal fisheries communities. In the early stages of dissemination of small-scale tank aquaculture technology, it is necessary to prevent fishermen from struggling to repay high-interest rate loans through technology transfer and facility support by official development assistance. The aquaculture training center, along with the technical education, will also contribute toward expansion of local distribution network and marketing support to establish a value chain for local artisanal fisheries communities.

This paper proposes a hand-eye laser range finder (LRF) based welding plane recognition method for autonomous robotic welding. The robot welding is the process of joining a metal piece and the welding plane along the welding path predefined by the shape of the metal piece. Thus, for successful robotic welding, the position and direction of the welding plane should be exactly detected. If the detected position and direction of the plane is not accurate, the autonomous robotic welding should fail. For precise recognition of the welding plane, a line on the plane is detected by the LRF. For obtaining the line on the plane, the Hough transform is applied to the obtained data from the LRF. Since the Hough transform is based on the voting method, the sensor noise can be reduced. Two lines on the plane are obtained before and after rotation of the robot joint, and then the direction of the plane is calculated by the cross product of two direction vectors of two lines. For verifying the feasibility of the proposed method, the simulation with the robot simulator, RoboticsLab developed by Simlab Co. Ltd., is carried out.

Passive sensors such as Laser Range Finder(LRF) and Forward Looking Infrared(FLIR) camera frequently used for tracking aircraft landing produce the measurements of elevation angle contaminated by large noise due to the exhaust plume disturbance. This results in poor tracking performance if the extended Kalman filter is used for estimation of the range and elevation which are corrupted by the non-Gaussian noise such as plume disturbance. In this paper, an adaptive estimation filter and the extended Kalman filter is combined to produce a combination-type filter. In this approach the adaptive filter is used for the plume-type disturbance noise and the extended Kalman filter is utilized for the measurement of Gaussian type. The proposed combination filter is effective for the trajectory estimation of landing aircraft under the influence of unknown bias and numerical simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed filter.

There are many researches to develop robots that improve its mobility and task planning to adapt in various uneven environments. In this paper, we propose the design method and task planning of quadruped robot which can have top-bottom docking structure. The proposed quadruped robot is designed to adjust leg length using linear actuators and perform top-bottom docking and undocking using octagonal cone shaped docking module. Also, to stable walking and information gathering in the various environments, a geomagnetic sensor, PSD sensor, LRF sensor and camera. We propose an obstacle avoidance method and the topbottom docking algorithm of the two quadruped robots using linear actuator. The robot can overcome obstacles using adjusting leg length and activate the top-bottom docking function. The top-bottom docking robots of two quadruped robot can walk 4 legged walking and 6 legged walking, and use 4 arms or 2 arms the upper. We verified that the docking robots can carry objects using 4 leg of the upper robot.

We verify the efficient mobility of the developed hybrid mobile robot through navigation experiments using the proposed motion planning method in various environments.
