  • Industrial robots are powerful, extremely accurate multi-jointed systems, but they are heavy and highly rigid because of their mechanical structure and motorization. Therefore, sharing the robot working space with its environment is problematic. A novel pneumatic artificial muscle actuator (PAM actuator) has been regarded during the recent decades as an interesting alternative to hydraulic and electric actuators. Its main advantages are high strength and high power/weight ratio, low cost, compactness, ease of maintenance, cleanliness, readily available and cheap power source, inherent safety and mobility assistance to humans performing tasks. The PAM is undoubtedly the most promising artificial muscle for the actuation of new types of industrial robots such as Rubber Actuator and PAM manipulators. However, some limitations still exist, such as the air compressibility and the lack of damping ability of the actuator bring the dynamic delay of the pressure response and cause the oscillatory motion. In addition, the nonlinearities in the PAM manipulator still limit the controllability. Therefore, it is not easy to realize motion with high accuracy and high speed and with respect to various external inertia loads in order to realize a human-friendly therapy robot To overcome these problems a novel controller, which harmonizes a phase plane switching control method with conventional PID controller and the adaptabilities of neural network, is newly proposed. In order to realize satisfactory control performance a variable damper - Magneto-Rheological Brake (MRB) is equipped to the joint of the manipulator. Superb mixture of conventional PID controller and a phase plane switching control using neural network brings us a novel controller. This proposed controller is appropriate for a kind of plants with nonlinearity uncertainties and disturbances. The experiments were carried out in practical PAM manipulator and the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm was demonstrated through experiments, which had proved that the stability of the manipulator can be improved greatly in a high gain control by using MRB with phase plane switching control using neural network and without regard for the changes of external inertia loads.

  • 대형 구조물을 관리하는 위험에 대처하기 위해 다양한 벽면 이동 로봇이 개발되고 있지만, 장애물이 있는 벽면에서 제한적인 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 벽면 이동로봇을 제안한다. 제안하는 로봇은 진공 모터를 부착한 6관절 다리를 네 개 사용하여, 부착을 위한 별도 장치없이 벽면에 안정적으로 흡착되어 벽면을 이동할 수 있다. 또한 카메라와 적외선센서를 이용하여 장애물을 인식하면 피하거나 건너갈 수 있다. 로봇은 각 다리를 제어하기 위한 4개의 MCU와 각 다리의 MCU를 제어하는 중앙 MCU로 구성된다. 중앙 MCU는 다리를 제어하는 MCU를 통합 관리하여 로봇 전체를 제어한다.

  • 장애물이나 경사지가 많은 협소 지역에서 탐사 활동을 수행하는 로봇은 험지에서도 이동할 수 있는 자율주행 방법을 필수적으로 제공해야 한다. 본 논문은 협소 지역에서 탐사와 객체 탐지를 위해 주행 상황에 따라 바퀴 주행과 관절 주행을 동적으로 변경하면서 이동하는 다관절 로봇 시스템을 제안한다. 다관절 로봇은 마찰력과 수직항력, 토크 값 등을 고려해 설계한 운동 모델을 기반으로 바퀴와 관절 이동을 변경하면서 자율적으로 주행한다. 관리자는 관제 서버를 통해 로봇이 수집한 탐사 정보를 실시간으로 확인하고 필요시 로봇의 원격제어를 수행할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 사람이 접근하기 어려운 협소 지역 탐사나 재난지역 인명구조 활동에 활용할 수 있기를 기대한다.

  • These days, the fantastic in opposition to classic beauty becomes a genre of creative body expression. The purpose of this study was to analyze the expressive characteristics of body types and meanings in recent fantastic fashion illustration. The method of this study was to analyze recent documentaries, fashion books, internet web site and so forth. The results were as follows: In literatures, pictures and movies, the category of the fantastic body's expressive types were classified as dominant mutant based on SF, multi body or fragment body by disruption, heterogeneous compound based on myth, personified humanoid and non substance in supernatural boundary. The dominant mutant based on SF was expressed image morphing, composition of machine image with body and modern metamorphosis of classic SF body. It means propensity to post-feminism and reservation of meaning analysis based on human unconsciousness. The multi body or fragment body by disruption in fashion illustration was expressed distorted composition of same body pictures, replacement of different bodies, deconstruction and partial omission of body and composition of meaning or non meaning images. It means permanence of self and basic narcissism. The heterogeneous compound based on myth was expressed general composition or optical illusion of various and aggressive animal motive. It means reinterpretation of original myth, metaphor of basic femme fatale, pursuit of permanence and sign of primitive mind in unconsciousness. The personified humanoid was expressed real human body description of mannequin or ball joint doll and anthropomorphism of robot image. It means representative satisfaction and nostalgia of childhood. The non substance in supernatural boundary was expressed grotesque description of ghost, zombie, vampire, angel, fairy, using of symbolic red, black color and non body. It means human's basic desire about immortality and taboo. Through the result of these study, the expression of fantastic body in fashion illustration will expend expressive method and we will understand human and cultural codes of today.
