In this work, a new control module and communication system associated with DSP are proposed to overcome the limitations of the contemporary prevailing PLC-based industrial equipment controller, and the performance of the proposed system was experimentally verified. In the light of this issue, a communication conversion scheme from RS-485 to Modbus, the dominant communication protocol used by PLC, was developed and shown to yield enhanced compatibility between devices. The proposed system allows for ~50％ cost reduction as well as downsizing of the industrial controllers. Furthermore, the design includes 24 V general digital I/O pins, which facilitate partial expansion of inputs and outputs. With Modbus communication implemented in DSP with the RS-485 interface, multi-to-multi communication may also be achieved.

This paper introduces an integration of Product Data Management (PDM) and Software Configuration Management (SCM). PDM and SCM have supported development of mechanical products and software products respectively. The importance of software components in the current products increases rapidly since the software enables the products to satisfy various customer requirements efficiently. Therefore the current product development needs enhanced product data management that can control both the hardware and software data seamlessly. This paper proposes an extended product data model for integrating SCM into PDM. The extension enables PDM document management to support the version control for software development. It also enables engineers to control both the software and hardware parts as integrated data objects during product configuration and engineering change management. The proposed model is implemented by using a commercial Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system and a development of a network based robot system is tested by the implemented product development environment.

If an agent has a learning ability using previous knowledge, then it is expected that the agent can speed up learning by interacting with environment. In this paper, we present an improved reinforcement learning algorithm using domain knowledge which can be represented by problem-independent features and their classifiers. Here, neural networks are employed as knowledge classifiers. To show the validity of our proposed algorithm, computer simulations are illustrated, where navigation problem of a mobile robot and a micro aerial vehicle(MAV) are considered.

본 연구에서는 고 성능 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 공기조형물의 관절 구동과 센서의 환경 인식에 능동적으로 대처할 수 있는 시스템을 연구하였다. 객체기반의 공기조형물용 모션제어 시스템은 단일 제어기로의 역할보다 시스템 구성요소로서의 역할이 매우 중요해지므로 시스템 전체의 제어기로 확장시켜 사용하는 방향으로 전환되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 시스템의 구동과 환경에 능동적으로 대처할 수 있는 객체기반 공기조형물을 연구하였다. 모터제어 방법에 있어 CAN(Controller Area Network) 네트워크를 방식을 통하여 제어를 수행하는 분산제어방식으로 수행하였다. CAN방식은 모션제어 시스템에 도입하여 주 제어기가 하위 제어기에 네트워크를 통하여 명령을 내리며 하위제어기는 주어진 위치 및 속도명령에 대하여 분산적으로 제어를 수행하였다. 따라서 CAN방식을 사용하여 각 제어기의 독립성과 처리속도를 증대시키고 공기조형물의 기능별 확장이 용이하도록 구성하였다. 제어기의 환경은 시스템을 총체적으로 조화롭게 제어할 수 있는 시스템으로의 역할이 중요시되어 이에 맞도록 설계방안을 연구하였다.

Intelligent Space(ISpace) is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. According to the cooperation of many intelligent devices, the environment, it is very important that the system knows the location information to offer the useful services. In order to achieve these goals, we present a method for representing, tracking and human following by fusing distributed multiple vision systems in ISpace, with application to pedestrian tracking in a crowd. And the article presents the integration of color distributions into particle filtering. Particle filters provide a robust tracking framework under ambiguity conditions. We propose to track the moving objects by generating hypotheses not in the image plan but on the top-view reconstruction of the scene. Comparative results on real video sequences show the advantage of our method for multi-object tracking. Simulations are carried out to evaluate the proposed performance. Also, the method is applied to the intelligent environment and its performance is verified by the experiments.

오늘날 필드버스(fieldbus), 인터넷 그리고 무선통신 등을 이용한 원격 제어 기술이 급격히 발달하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 원거리 네트워크 기반 제어는 데이터를 전송함에 있어서 지연이 불가피하며, 또한 이 지연이 일정하지 않은 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 네트워크 지연은 시스템의 안정성이나 정확도에 영향을 미친다. 잘 논문에서는 네트워크상의 데이터 전송 지연을 고려한 이동 로봇의 원격 운용을 위해 TSK(Takagi-Sugeno-Kang) 퍼지 시스템을 이용하여 전송 지연의 확률 분포 함수와 네트워크 모델을 구하고 이를 전송 지연 예측 알고리듬에 적용하였다. 그리고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로부터 제안된 알고리듬의 실효성을 검증하고, 기존의 예측 알고리듬과의 비교분석을 통하여 그 성능을 평가하였다.

In this paper, we develop control hardware such as an FPGA based general purposed intelligent controller with a DSP board to solve nonlinear system control problems. PID control algorithms are implemented in an FPGA and neural network control algorithms are implemented in a BSP board. An FPGA was programmed with VHDL to achieve high performance and flexibility. The additional hardware such as an encoder counter and a PWM generator can be implemented in a single FPGA device. As a result, the noise and power dissipation problems can be minimized and the cost effectiveness can be achieved. To show the performance of the developed controller, it was tested fur nonlinear systems such as a robot hand and an inverted pendulum.

The construction of rule-base for a nonlinear time-varying system, becomes much more complicated because of model uncertainty and parameter variations. Furthemore, FLC does not have an ability of adjusting rule- base in responding to some sudden changes of control environments. To cope with these problems, an auto-tuning method of the fuzzy rule-base is required. In this paper, the GA-based Fuzzy-Neural control system combining Fuzzy-Neural control theory with the genetic algorithm(GA), which is known to be very effective in the optimization problem, will be proposed. The tuning of the proposed system is performed by two tuning processes(the course tuning process and the fine tuning/adaptive learning process). The effectiveness of the proposed control system will be demonstrated by computer simulations using a two degree of freedom robot manipulator.

This paper develops a novel automatic parking algorithm based on a fuzzy logic controller with the vehicle pose for the input and the steering rate for the output. It localizes the vehicle by using only external sensors - a vision sensor and ultrasonic sensors. Then it automatically learns an optimal fuzzy if-then rule set from the training data, using an evolutionary fuzzy system. Furthermore, it also finds the green zone for the ready-to-reverse position in which parking is possible just by reversing. It has been tested on a 4-wheeled Pioneer mobile robot which emulates the real vehicle.

This paper propose a localization system of indoor mobile robots. The localization system includes camera and artificial landmarks for global positioning, and encoders and gyro sensors for local positioning. The Kalman filter is applied to take into account the stochastic errors of all sensors. Also we develop a dead reckoning system to estimate the global position when the robot moves the blind spots where it cannot see artificial landmarks, The learning engine using modular networks is designed to improve the performance of the dead reckoning system. Experimental results are then presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed localization system.
