In this study, we constructed a preview-sensing visual sensor system for weld seam tracking in real time in GMA welding. A sensor part consists of a CCD camera, a band-pass filter, a diode laser system with a cylindrical lens, and a vision board for inter frame process. We used a commercialized robot system which includes a GMA welding machine. To extract the weld seam we used a inter frame process in vision board from that we could remove the noise due to the spatters and fume in the image. Since the image was very reasonable by using the inter frame process, we could use the simplest way to extract the weld seam from the image, such as first differential and central difference method. Also we used a moving average method to the successive position data of weld seam for reducing the data fluctuation. In experiment the developed robot system with visual sensor could be able to track a most popular weld seam, such as a fillet-joint, a V-groove, and a lap-joint of which weld seam include planar and height directional variation.

A skid-steering method which applied to the various mobile robot platforms currently shows its effectiveness in the specified field areas and purposes. This system contains however, several problems of its intrinsic properties such as slippages occurred by different moving direction between vehicle's driving and wheel's rotary and difficulties of driving performance control and so on. This paper deals with the suggestion of suitable control algorithm for 6WD/6WS skid steering wheeled vehicle and verified its feasibility by analyzing the behavior of 6WD/6WS skid-steered wheeled vehicle model and by applying the engineering analytical method to the considered mobile platform. The Performance of vehicle model is evaluated by using slip mode control to follow the steering input and, as a future work, this control algorithm could be applied to real 6WD/6WS in-wheel drive type vehicle finally.

The attachment of mobile vehicle is necessary for the automated operation on the inclined or vertical walls of steel structures. Since the vehicle requires attaching devices additionally, its overall efficiency can be reduced by the devices. Therefore, external shapes of mobile vehicles have to be researched to give the effective movement on the vertical face. For the design of mobile vehicle, the guideline has been derived from the modeling of wall-climbing, so that the vehicle should have a specific external shape for vertical movement due to the gravitational force. Hence, some adequate arrangement of attaching device to the mobile vehicle has been presented for the effective movement. In the experiments with four permanent magnetic wheels, a plausible result was achieved as a vertical attaching force of 185.2(N), a friction force of 153.8(N) and a curvature radius of 1.4m. The mobile vehicle should be modified according to the proposed design guideline. and then it could be applied to a specific operation as an appropriate external shape. Also, Further research is recommended on an optimal posture and a moving method in a specific application. as the attaching force ortho vehicle can be affected by its posture.

This paper presents arc/line segments-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) by updating accumulated laser sensor data with a mobile robot moving in an unknown environment. For each scan, the sensor data in the set are stored by a small constant number of parameters that can recover the necessary information contained in the raw data of the group. The arc and line segments are then extracted according to different limit values, but based on the same parameters. If two segments, whether they are homogenous features or not, from two scans are matched successfully, the new segment is extracted from the union set with combined data information obtained by means of summing the equivalent parameters of these two sets, not combining the features directly. The covariance matrixes of the segments are also updated and calculated synchronously employing the same parameters. The experiment results obtained in an irregular indoor environment show the good performance of the proposed method.

This paper presents a numerical method of the minimum-time trajectory planning for a robot manipulator amid obstacles. Each joint displacement is represented by the linear combination of the finite-term quintic B-splines which are the known functions of the path parameter. The time is represented by the linear function of the same path parameter. Since the geometric path is not fixed and the time is linear to the path parameter, the coefficients of the splines and the time-scale factor span a finite-dimensional vector space, a point in which uniquely represents the manipulator motion. The displacement, the velocity and the acceleration conditions at the starting and the goal positions are transformed into the linear equality constraints on the coefficients of the splines, which reduce the dimension of the vector space. The optimization is performed in the reduced vector space using nonlinear programming. The total moving time is the main performance index which should be minimized. The constraints on the actuator forces and that of the obstacle-avoidance, together with sufficiently large weighting coefficients, are included in the augmented performance index. In the numerical implementation, the minimum-time motion is obtained for a planar 3-1ink manipulator amid several rectangular obstacles without simplifying any dynamic or geometric models.

This paper proposes a novel formation algorithm of identical robots based on object tracking method using omni-directional images obtained through fisheye lenses which are mounted on the robots. Conventional formation methods of multi-robots often use stereo vision system or vision system with reflector instead of general purpose camera which has small angle of view to enlarge view angle of camera. In addition, to make up the lack of image information on the environment, robots share the information on their positions through communication. The proposed system estimates the region of robots using SURF in fisheye images that have $360^{\circ}$ of image information without merging images. The whole system controls formation of robots based on moving directions and velocities of robots which can be obtained by applying Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow Estimation for the estimated region of robots. We confirmed the reliability of the proposed formation control strategy for multi-robots through both simulation and experiment.

로봇이 환경변화에 능동적으로 대처하기 위해서는 화상정보를 이용한 시각귀환제어(VFC)가 필요하다. 시각귀환 제어시스템은 매니퓰레이터와 카메라로 구성되는데, 고정된 시각시스템의 경우, 특징량이 동일선상에 위치하면 시각귀환제어를 할 수 없는 특이치 문제가 발생한다. 특이치 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 이미지 자코비안의 상태값을 정의하고, 여러가지 경우 특징량을 조합 평가하여 이용 가능한 특징량을 선택하는 방법이 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 특징량의 수를 증가해야하는 단점이 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 시각귀환시스템의 카메라를 능동적으로 이동시키므로써 특이치가 발생하지 않는 알고리즘을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 유효성을 확인한다.

$A^*$ algorithm is a global path generation algorithm, and typically create a path using only the distance information. Therefore along the path, a moving vehicle is usually not be considered by driving characteristics. Deceleration at the corner is one of the driving characteristics of the vehicle. In this paper, considering this characteristic, a new evaluation function based path algorithm is proposed to decrease the number of driving path corner, in order to reduce the driving cost, such as driving time, fuel consumption and so on. Also the potential field method is applied for driving of UGV, which is robust against static and dynamic obstacle environment during following the generated path of the mobile robot under. The driving time and path following test was occurred by experiments based on a pseudo UGV, mobile robot in downscaled UGV's maximum and driving speed in corner. The experiment results were confirmed that the driving time by the proposed algorithm was decreased comparing with the results from $A^*$ algorithm.

본 논문에서는 이동하는 로봇에 탑재한 대화체 음성인식기의 주위 잡음 환경에 강인한 새로운 음성 끝점 검출 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 기법은 특징 값의 갑작스러운 변화점을 찾기 위해 에지 검출 필터(edge detection filter)를 적용하여 끝점을 찾았다. 하지만 프레임 에너지의 특징은 잡음 환경에서 불안정하기 때문에 음성의 끝점을 정확하게 찾기 어렵다. 그러므로 두 번의 고속 퓨리에 변환과 통계적 모델 기반의 특징 추출 기법을 제안하여 에지 검출 필터에 적용한다. 제안한 기법이 기존의 기법보다 강인한 특징이 될 수 있음을 본 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.
