The robotic welding has been adapted positively in many welding shops forthe purpose of improving the welding efficiency and liberating operators from the severe working atmosphere. But for a large-size structure with thick plates like ship-building and every kind of plants manufacturing, the application of the arc welding robots is not established yet. The reason is assumed that the conventional arc welding robots are not adaptive for multi-pass welding of thick plates whose grooves are not so accurate. As one solution to this problem, a guidance system which uses the welding arc itself as a sensor is largely used. In this study the velocity controller which changes the tip to workpiece distance for regulating the weld proposed. The proportional and integral gain of velocity controller were determined by using the computer simulation of the control system, and the simulation results compared with the experimental ones. It was revealed that the developed control system using the arc sensor principle has a good capability of tracking the weld joint, although some more studies will be needed to refine the model of arc current.

Latest advances in network sensor technology and state of the art of mobile robot, and artificial intelligence research can be employed to develop autonomous and distributed monitoring systems. In this study, as the preliminary step for developing a multi-purpose "Intelligent Space" platform to implement advanced technologies easily to realize smart services to human. We will give an explanation for the ISpace system architecture designed and implemented in this study and a short review of existing techniques, since there exist several recent thorough books and review paper on this paper. Instead we will focus on the main results with relevance to the DIND data fusion with CI of Intelligent Space. We will conclude by discussing some possible future extensions of ISpace.

To implement a high-precision lightning tracking system utilizing TDOA measurements, high-speed data acquisition and precise timing synchronization between ground sensors should be achieved. At the same time, considering the size of digitizer's memory, the data memory needs to be managed so that only the sampled data around the occurrence of stepped leader pulse is stored. This paper presents a detection-and-acquisition system for lightning signals that is the main equipment of ground sensor in lightning tracking system. GPS clock module is used to get precise timing synchronization and the 500MHz high speed digitizer is employed. In order to detect the leading edge of the lightning pulse and save the sampled data and its timing, lightning detection module is implemented and multi-record method is employed in the proposed system. Field experiment results show that the proposed system can detect and save the lightning signal efficiently.

This paper proposes a mobile image search system which uses a sensor information of smart phone, and enables running in a variety of environments, which is implemented on Android platform. The implemented system deals with a new image descriptor using combination of the visual feature (CEDD) with EXIF attributes in the target of JPEG image, and image matching scheme, which is optimized to the mobile platform. Experimental result shows that the proposed method exhibited a significant improved searching results of around 80% in precision in the large image database. Considering the performance such as processing time and precision, we think that the proposed method can be used in other application field.

As pressure transducers are employed in many fields such as production facilities, test facilities vehicles and industrial machinery, there is an increasing need for high precision measurement of pressure without any calibration or maintenance. In this paper, we discuss the development of a smart thin film pressure transducer which is highly suitable for a precise measurement of pressure. The smart functions include automatic zero tracking, automatic span adjustment, temperature compenstion, continuous self-diagnostics for faults (open strain gages, abnormal data, incorrect A/D conversion, and overpressure), data memory and multi-drop communication with PC

In this paper, a sensor bias estimation method with pseudo measurement for asynchronous multisensor systems is proposed. The proposed bias estimation method separates the local filter which estimates the target state with biased measurements into two parts, one is bias part, the other is target state part. By using these two parts, the algorithm generates the pseudo bias measurement for estimating bias, and then eliminates bias of local track through bias compensation. Finally, the proposed algorithm is evaluated by comparing with the existing EXX method.

본 논문에서는 FMCW(frequency modulated continuous wave) 레이다 센서를 활용한 사람과 사물을 분류하는 시스템 설계 및 구현 결과를 제시한다. 해당 시스템은 다중 객체 탐지를 위한 레이다 센서 신호처리 과정과 객체를 사람 및 사물로 분류하는 딥러닝 과정을 수행한다. 딥러닝의 경우 높은 연산량과 많은 양의 메모리를 요구하기 때문에 경량화가 필수적이다. 따라서 CNN (convolution neural network) 연산을 이진화하여 동작하는 BNN (binary neural network) 구조를 적용하였으며, 실시간 동작을 위해 하드웨어 가속기를 설계하고 FPGA 보드 상에서 구현 및 검증하였다. 성능 평가 및 검증 결과 90.5%의 다중 객체 구분 정확도, CNN 대비 96.87% 감소된 메모리 구현이 가능하며, 총 수행 시간은 5ms로 실시간 동작이 가능함을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 시뮬레이션을 통해 다수의 초음파 발신부로부터 순차적으로 발생되는 초음파를 공간 내에서 자유롭게 움직이는 여러개의 이동형 개체들에 각각 장착된 초음파 수신부가 수신하여 각 개체의 위치를 스스로 계산할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 적절한 위치에 고정 장착된 3개 이상의 초음파 발신부에 의해 정의되는 공간 내에서 움직이는 개체가 자신들의 위치를 스스로 추정 가능하게 하기 때문에 공간 내에 존재하는 개체 수에 제안을 받지 않는 다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 기술은 다 개체 시스템의 위치 제어 및 모션 포착 기술에 효과적으로 응용이 가능하다.

선박이나 자동차 등의 이동체에서, 이동중에 위성 TV를 볼 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 이동체용 TV 위성 수신안테나 개발이 요구된다. 현대사회에서 TV가 갖고 있는 정보는 정보 수집을 위한 매체로서의 기능뿐만 아니라, 이미 우리생활의 일부가 되어 있다. 특히 한국에서는 무궁화위성을 이용한 다채널위성방송이 시작되어 화질과 음질에서 뛰어난 프로그램을 제공하고 있어 위성을 이용한 TV수신은 이미 대중화되기 시작하였다. 본 연구에서는 수평추적은 자이로센서를 이용한 방위정보와 수신신호 강도를 측정 비교하는 하이브리드형 추적알고리즘을 사용하였고, 수직방향추적은 짐발(무게추)을 이용한 선박용 위성 TV 수신안테나 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 결과로서 소형으로서 경제적인 가격의 27dBi 평판배열안테나와 선박의 움직임이 롤링, 피칭$\pm$30도까지도 추적이 가능한 추적 알고리즘을 개발하였다.

A study has been conducted for an optimal processing and an apparatus for manufacturing a laser welded tube for one-body formed bumper beam. The tube dimensions used in calculation were the thickness of 1.4 mm, the diameter of 105.4 mm and the length of 2000 mm. The tube was formed of a cold rolled high strength steel plate(tensile strength of 600 MPa). The two-roll bending method was the optimal tube forming process in comparison with the UO-bending method, the bending method on the press brake, the multi-step continuous roll-forming method and the 3-roll bending method. Monitoring of the welding quality was conducted and the seam tracking along the butt-joint lengthwise to the tube axis was also examined. The longitudinal butt-joint was welded by using a $CO_2$ laser welding machine equipped with a seam tracker and a plasma sensor. The $CO_2$ laser tube welding machine could be used for precise seam tracking and real-time monitoring of the welding quality. As a result, the developed laser welded tube could be used for a one-body formed automobile bumper beam.
