Micro robots have been developed for many applications: medical, industrial, military, and so on. A small mobile robot was built and it has three legs made of bimorph piezoelectric actuators. It proceeds by vibrating the rear leg and it rotates by vibrating one of the front legs. The locomotion of the robot is described by relative position of mass center and the friction between the legs and the floor. This paper describes the principles of locomotion and modeling of the robot Modeling was simulated to investigate the dynamics of its mobility. The simulation results verified the modeling by showing similar movement of the robot as measured. It remained, however, several problems through experiments such as crooked direction of forward movement and proceeding speed.

The purpose of this study is to improve robot motion control in teaching and operating the expert system/world coordinate system (TOES/WCS) constructed in the previous study. The major contribution of this study is reduction of the inaccuracy in coordinated reading and the movement time of robots in macro motion control. This study also reduces undesirable time of micro motion control by using an unit control (UC) and a micro unit control (MUC) in micro motion control.

현재의 첨단 산업에서는 단순한 공작 활동에서 벗어나 창의적으로 생각하고 조작할 수 있는 공학적인 마인드를 갖는 인재를 필요로 하고 있다. 이러한 시대적 요구에 따라 초등학교 단계에서의 마이크로 로봇제작 교육은 아동들의 창의성을 계발할 수 있는 적절한 대안이 될 것이다. 이러한 필요성에 따라, 본 연구에서는 창의성 계발을 위한 효과적인 마이크로 로봇 교육 프로그램을 고안하고 이를 현장에 적용하여 실제 구현하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 마이크로 로봇 제작을 위한 초등학교용 교수 학습 자료를 제시하였다 둘째, 초등학생에게 맞는 학습 프로그램을 7단계로 나누어 고안하였다. 마지막으로 구안한 학습 프로그램을 현장에 적용, 분석한 결과 학습자의 창의성 향상이 있었다.

This paper presents a mobile robot that travels employing visual information. The mobile robot is equipped solely with a TV camera as a sensor, and views from the TV camera are transferred to a separately installed micro computer through an image acquisition device. An acquired image of a view is processed there and the information necessary for travel is yielded. Instructions based on the information are then sent from the micro computer to the mobile robot, which causes the mobile robot next action. Among several application programs that have already been developed for the mobile robot other than the entire control program, this paper focuses its attention on the travelling control of the mobile robot in a model environment with obstructions as well as an overview of the whole system. The behaviour the present mobile robot takes when it travels among obstructions was investigated by an experiment, and satisfactory results were obtained.

Recently, the study on small-sized reconnaissance robot has been progressed through grafting robot technology to military fields for minimizing the casualties. Especially, throwable robots have been focusing for their's efficiency in anti-terror operation. However, it is impossible to launch throwable robot to long range(approximately 100m) by hand. So we need another type of robots, so called launchable robots, which can launch farther and is more accurate by launcher. In this paper, we presented the process of developments of launchable robots('launchbot') which are available for remote launch from collection of user's opinions to field test. Based on the opinions of users, we established the goal of development, designed and manufactured the robots. Through the field test, we found that our launchable robot satisfied the performance requirements.

An animal assisted therapy (AAT) for handicapped child's psychotherapy has been reported by some researches. A robot can be substituted for the role of a real animal of the AAT. The robot for the AAT is called RAT (Robot Assisted Therapy). It consists of four parts: microprocessor-based MCU(Micro Control Unit), sensing part with various sensors, the movement part operated by some motors, and the exterior with soft feel. We will here introduce the RAT.

Surgical methods and associated precision systems have been developed, but surgical procedures that require precise location and fine manipulation of the lesion remain a limitation. The combination of precision robot manipulation technology and 3D medical image navigation technology overcomes the limitations of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and enables a more stable and successful operation. Surgical robots are surgical robots such as da Vince, and surgical robots using industrial robotic arms. There are various developments and researches of medical robots. In recent medical robot development, a new type of surgical robot based on an industrial robot arm capable of easily replacing the end effector according to the user's needs is being actively developed at home and abroad. Therefore, in this study, we developed safety and performance evaluation guideline for micro - surgical robots based on open robot platform using general purpose robot arm to help quality control of the medical device.

This paper focuses on the study of simulation and evolution of Micro Air Vehicles. Micro Air Vehicles or MAVs are small flying robots that are used for surveillance, search and rescue, and other missions. The simulated robots are designed based on realistic characteristics and the brains (controllers) of the robots are generated using genetic algorithms, i .e., simulated evolution. The objective for the experiments is to investigate the effects of robot team size and topology (simulation environment) on the evolution of simulated robots. The testing of team sizes deals with finding an ideal number of robots to be deployed for a given mission. The goal of the topology experiments is to see if there is an ideal topology (environment) to evolve the robots in order to increase their utility in most environments. We compare the results of the various experiments by evaluating the fitness values of the robots i .e., performance measure. In addition, evolved robot teams are tested in different situation in order to determine if the results can be generalized, and statistical analysis is performed to evaluate the evolved results.
