Localization of mobile agent within a sensing network is a fundamental requirement for many applications, using networked navigating systems such as the sonar-sensing system or the visual-sensing system. To fully utilize the strengths of both the sonar and visual sensing systems, This paper describes a networked sensor-based navigation method in an indoor environment for an autonomous mobile robot which can navigate and avoid obstacle. In this method, the self-localization of the robot is done with a model-based vision system using networked sensors, and nonstop navigation is realized by a Kalman filter-based STSF(Space and Time Sensor Fusion) method. Stationary obstacles and moving obstacles are avoided with networked sensor data such as CCD camera and sonar ring. We will report on experiments in a hallway using the Pioneer-DX robot. In addition to that, the localization has inevitable uncertainties in the features and in the robot position estimation. Kalman filter scheme is used for the estimation of the mobile robot localization. And Extensive experiments with a robot and a sensor network confirm the validity of the approach.

최근 Internet of Things (IoT) 기반 Wireless Networked Control System (WNCS)에서 Sensor의 Status Update 및 Actuator로의 Actuation Update 분석을 위해 정보의 신선도를 측정하는 지표인 Age of Information (AoI)가 고려되고 있다. 또한 WNCS에 Edge Computing (EC)이 도입되면서 기존의 Cloud Computing 기반 아키텍처보다 낮은 AoI를 보장할 수 있다. 하지만 Controller가 관리하는 Sensor의 수가 증가하면서 Controller에 부하가 증가하여 AoI 요구사항을 만족시키지 못하는 문제점이 발생하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 Actuator의 컴퓨팅 능력을 활용하여 Sensor의 Status Update를 해당 지역의 Actuator가 가용할 때 직접적으로 전송하여 Actuator가 직접 Actuation Update를 수행함으로써 AoI 요구사항을 만족시키고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 AoI 분석을 위한 분석 모델을 제시하였고 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 방법이 기존 방법 대비 AoI를 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

Networked embedded systems using the smart device and fieldbus technologies are now found in many industrial fields including process automation and automobiles. However the discrepancy between a node's view of current time and the rest of the system can cause many difficulties in the design and implementation of a networked system. To provide a networked system with a global reference time, the problem of clock synchronization has been intensively studied over the decades. However, many of the existing solutions, which are mainly developed for large scale distributed computer systems, cannot be directly applied to embedded systems. This paper presents a fault-tolerant clock synchronization technique that can be used for a low-cost embedded system using a CAN bus. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated with a set of microcontrollers and DC motor-based actuators.

On the base of network frame and protocol system of Ethernet the networked sensing technology based on Ethernet is studied and the design principles of industrial Ethernet measurement of control system is put forward, and the general structure model is built in the paper. An eight-bit economical MCU scheme is proposed, and a general scheme of distributed intelligent networked measuring and control equipment based on TCP/IP is designed too. A compact TCP/IP protocol stack are successfully implemented in eight-bit MCU. With C51 program language, method of modularized programming is applied in soft design. The problem of in-system modifying measuring and control strategy of its system is solved successfully by assigning memory dynamically and saving parameter with EEPROM, and it makes the intelligent networked measurement and control system can explain and analyses control strategy from PC. Experiment result shows that, the research of intelligent networked measurement and control equipment and system base on TCP/IP is successful, with flexible network, convenient usage, and good commonality.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크를 위한 비선형 네트워크 제어 시스템의 출력 궤환 분산 퍼지 제어기를 설계한다. 특히나, 분산 제어를 위한 네트워크 제어 시스템은 출력의 패킷 손실과 입력 전송 실패를 가진다고 가정한다. 제어기 설계를 위해 먼저 비선형 하위 시스템의 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) 퍼지 모델을 제시하고, 각 하위 시스템에 대한 출력 궤환 분산 퍼지 제어기를 설계한다. 제안된 제어기를 포함한 폐루프 시스템의 안정도 조건을 Lyapunov 방정식을 통하여 구하고, 구해진 안정도 조건을 선형 행렬 부등식으로 나타내어, 이를 통해 제어기의 이득값을 구한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제어기의 효용성을 평가한다.

We introduce new type of networked robot, Ubiquitous Robotic Companion (URC), embedded with ATLAS Service-oriented architecture for enhancing the space sensing capability. URC is a network-based robotic system developed by ETRI. For years of experience in deploying service with ATLAS sensor platform for elder and people with special needs in smart houses, we need networked robots to assist elder people in their successful daily living. Recently, pervasive computing technologies reveals possibilities of networked robots in smart spaces, consist of sensors, actuators and smart devices can collaborate with the other networked robot as a mobile sensing platform, a complex and sophisticated actuator and a human interface. This paper provides our experience in designing and implementing system architecture to integrate URC robots in pervasive computing environments using the University of Florida's ATLAS service-oriented architecture. In this paper, we focus on the integrated framework architecture of URC embedded with ATLAS platform. We show how the integrated URC system is enabled to provide better services which enhance the space sensing of URC in the smart space by applying service-oriented architecture characterized as flexibility in adding or deleting service components of Ubiquitous Robotic Companion.

Technological progress in integrated, low-power, CMOS communication devices and sensors makes a rich design space of networked sensors viable. These sensors can be deeply embedded in the physical world and spread throughout sensor network environment like smart dust. So ubiquitous computing will be come true. SmartDust project is the one of ubiquitous computing approach. It produces TinyOS, mote(mica, mica2, rene2, mica2dot, etc.), NesC, TinyDB, etc. We constructs sensor network test bed and tests to approach sensor network and ubiquitous computing.
