Cleaning robot system consists of four parts; navigation system for moving of robot, cleaning system, power system, and main system with cleaning algorithm. Navigation system is the most expensive part because it has motors and sensors which is high price. Navigation system is also essential to service robot system, but user should buy two systems which are service robot system and cleaning robot system. If it is possible to share navigation system, user can save money. In this paper, we design the cleaning robot system based on modular architecture.

In order to overcome the conventional robot's physical limitation to frequent changes in operational requirements, it is quite appealing to modularize its system components and allow them to be combined into various configurations to best suit the needs to a particular application. Several researchers have presented the concept of modular robot. In this paper, the kinematics and dynamics of modular robot are studied, which concretes the concept of modular robot. This study includes the selection of individual module, the definition of their parameters and the development of module based manipulate. analysis software package (MBMAP).

Mechanisms of the robot system should be developed according to the task. In this study, we propose improving adaptability of the robot mechanism with the modularized joint mechanism. Adaptability is the measure of the system ability to cope with change or uncertainty. Modular type joint has been widely used in development of various robots including reconfigurable robots. To build robotic systems more flexibly and quickly with low costs of manufacturing and maintenance, we have designed a modular type joint with one degree of freedom for general purpose. This module is designed to be compact, light-weight and self-controlled. In this design, we consider the kinematics and dynamics properties of the modular type joint.

The purpose of the study of multi-robot system is to realize multi-robot system easy for the control of robot system in case robot is adapted in the complicated environment of task structure. The purpose of the study of multi-robot system is to realize multi-robot system easy for the control of robot system in case robot is adapted in the complicated environment of task structure. To make real time control possible by making effective use of recognized information in this dynamic environment, suitable distribution of tasks should be made in consideration of function and role of each performing robots. In this paper, IHMA (Intelligent Hybrid Modular Architecture) of Intelligent combined control architecture which utilizes the merits of deliberative and reactive controllers will be suggested and its efficiency will be evaluated through the adaptation of control architecture to representative multi-robot system.

Modular robot manipulator is a robotic system assembled from discrete joints and links into one of many possible manipulator configurations. This paper describes the design method of newly developed modular robot manipulator and the methodology of a task based reconfiguration of it. New locking mechanism is proposed and it provides quick coupling and decoupling. A parallel connection method is devised and it makes modular robot manipulator working well and the number of components on each module reduced. To automatically determine a sufficient or optimal arrangement of the modules for a given task, we also devise an algorithm that automatically generates forward and inverse manipulator kinematics, and we propose an algorithm which maps task specifications to the optimized manipulator configurations. Efficient genetic algorithms are generated and used to search for a optimal manipulator from task specifications. A few of design examples are shown.

This paper addresses the design and implementation problem of the mobile robot with the synchronous driving mechanism that consists of modular control systems based on the Universal Serial Bus (USB). Recently, the USB have attracted the hardware developers'interests due to its low cost, compatibility, and extenability. In particular, the USB enables us to organize the whole system in the modular manner very easily, and this property plays a very important role in shortening the developing time in implementing the target system, for example, the mobile robot system. In this paper, we implement the USB motion controller and the USB ultrasonic sensor system and verified the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed system through the real experiments including the mobile robot navigation and the environment recognition.

In this study, a model for the simulation of the material flow not only inside a robot cell with flexible handling sequence but also between robot cells is presented. A method for the connection of special simulation programs has been developed and a logic model between a real system and a simulation system is employed.

This paper introduces a novel obstacle-climbing robot that moves on the facade of buildings and its climbing mechanism. A winch system set on the top of the building makes the vertical motion of the robot while it climbs obstacles that protrude from the wall surface. The obstacle-climbing robot suggested in this research is composed of a main platform and three modular climbing units. Various sensors installed on each climbing unit detect the obstacles, and the robot controller coordinates the three units and the winch to climb the obstacles using the obstacle-climbing mechanism. To evaluate the performance of the developed robot prototype, a test bed, which consists of an artificial wall and an obstacle, was manufactured. The obstacle size and the time required to climb the obstacle were selected as the performance indices, and extensive experiments were carried out. As a result, it was confirmed that the obstacle-climbing robot can climb various-sized obstacles with a reasonable speed while it moves on the wall surface.

본 논문에서는 로봇의 endeffector를 인식하기 위하여 모듈라 신경회로망인식 시스템을 제안 및 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 로봇 endeffector 인식시스템은 영상을 획득하고 획득한 영상에서 전처리를 이용하여 로봇의 enddffector를 검색하기 위한 특징 값들을 구한다. 3차원 공간에서 로봇의 endeffector는 움직임에 따라 다양한 형태로 변화하므로 빠르고 정확하게 endeffector를 인식하기 위하여 위치검출 신경회로망 모듈과 크기 검출 신경회로망 모듈로 이루어진 다중모듈신경회로망(MNN; Modular Neural Network)을 이용한다. 이렇게 함으로써 각각의 모듈들에 신경회로망의 인식 능력을 이용하여 로봇 endeffector를 인식하고 좀더 빠른 시간 내에 위치 및 크기를 검출하도록 하는 로봇 endeffector 인식시스템을 구성하도록 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 인식 시스템은 잡음에 덜 민감하며 로봇의 endfeector를 인식하는데 좋은 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다. 다중 모듈 신경회로망을 이용한 방법은 기존의 단일 신경회로망보다 14％ 향상된 94％의 인식률을 보이며 원격지에 있는 운영자의 편의를 위해 로봇의 endeffector를 인식하여 화면의 정 중앙에 정확히 위치시킬 수 있다.
