In this paper, we design a hybrid wheeled and legged mobile robot with a waist joint. The proposed hybrid mobile robot is designed to have a hybrid structure with leg and wheel for the efficient movement in flat and uneven surfaces. The proposed robot have a waist joint that is used to stably transform from wheeled driving to legged walking of the robot and to overcome non-flat surface. In order to recognize various environments we use LRF sensor, PSD sensor, CCD camera. Also, a motion planning method for hybrid mobile robot with a waist joint is proposed to select wheeled driving motion and legged walking motion of the robot based the environment types. We verify the efficient mobility of the developed hybrid mobile robot through navigation experiments using the proposed motion planning method in various environments.

Recently, a laser displacement sensor is widely used for the manufacturing automation. The sensor is generally composed of a diode laser and a light receiving device. The diode laser emits a laser beam and the receiving device detects the light reflected from the measured object. The object position is obtained based upon triangulation method. As a light receiving device, a PSD is usually utilized since its structure is very simple and rugged and has a high accuracy. Although the theoretical relationship for this sensor had been developed, the characteristics of the sensor have not been much experimentally studied. In this paper, several experimental results will presented. The measurement accuracy is affected by the surface conditions such as the reflectance characteristics, the angle of the object's surface and the laser intensity. In addition, it is found that the PSD and the signal processing circuit have nonlinearities and showed that those nonlinearities can be reduced by controlling the emitting laser intensity.

Current CCTV systems, which require continuous monitoring of the screens, have the limitation to detect and respond to the crime scenes in timely manner. Therefore, in recent years, the request for more intlligent surveillance system, with a ubiquitous sensor network, is increasing in order to behave more humanly fashions. Such systems require cllective data processing of the environments based on various sensors. In this article, we suggests a new paradigm based surveillance system which integrates PSD and dual PIR sensors. The proposed system evlves from a existing indoor intrusion detection system which can only identify the intrusion event to a better inteligent system with context awareness. We have conducted the various simulations in order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed system.

Although stable control algorithm has been implemented to the biped robot, the stability is not guaranteed because of encoder errors and/or rigid body elastics. Hence precise body pose estimation is required for more natural and long term walk. Specially pelvis sloping by gravity or uneven ground on landing place are most critical reason for undulated motion. In order to overcome these difficulties an estimation system for foot position and orientation using PSD sensors and Gyro sensors is proposed along with calibration algorithm and experimental verification.

본 연구에서는 반도체 레이저 LD 혹은 백색광로부터 조사되는 빔을 CRT 모니터의 측정부에 입사시켜 패널 glass와 섀도우 마스크에서 반사되는 빔을 PSD에 조사하여 섀도우 마스크의 진동을 측정하였으며, CCD를 사용하여 열적변형과 패널 glass의 아랫면과 섀도우 마스크사이의 간격 Q값을 측정하였다. 사용한 PSD는 검출 영역은 12mm, 센서의 위치분해능은 0.2$mu extrm{m}$이며, 실시간적으로 처리할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. CRT의 경우 전자빔의 충돌에 의한 섀도우 마스크의 열적 변형과 진동에 의한 섀도우 마스크의 떨림이 발생하여 화질이 저하된다. Q값의 정확한 계측과 섀도우 마스크의 열적변형 및 진동의 측정을 통하여 이들 현상이 발생되는 근본적인 취약구조를 발견함으로써 우수한 섀도우 마스크를 설계하고 제품의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. (중략)

열차의 진로를 변경시키는 선로전환기의 고장은 탈선 등과 같은 대형 사고를 유발시킬 수 있는 중요한 시설이다. 따라서 열차운행 안전 측면에서 해당 설비에 대한 모니터링은 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 선로전환기의 구동 시 발생하는 소리 정보를 이용하여 선로전환기의 이상상황을 탐지하는 시스템을 제안한다. 먼저 제안한 시스템은 소리 센서에서 실시간으로 취득하는 소리 신호를 Power Spectral Density(PSD) 특징으로 변환한다. 추출된 PSD 특징은 이미 성능이 입증된 딥러닝의 대표적인 모델인 Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)에 적용하여 이상상황을 탐지한다. 실제 선로전환기의 전환 시 발생하는 소리 데이터를 취득하여 모의실험을 수행한 결과, 비정상 상황을 안정적으로 탐지함을 확인하였다.

There are many researches to develop robots that improve its mobility and task planning to adapt in various uneven environments. In this paper, we propose the design method and task planning of quadruped robot which can have top-bottom docking structure. The proposed quadruped robot is designed to adjust leg length using linear actuators and perform top-bottom docking and undocking using octagonal cone shaped docking module. Also, to stable walking and information gathering in the various environments, a geomagnetic sensor, PSD sensor, LRF sensor and camera. We propose an obstacle avoidance method and the topbottom docking algorithm of the two quadruped robots using linear actuator. The robot can overcome obstacles using adjusting leg length and activate the top-bottom docking function. The top-bottom docking robots of two quadruped robot can walk 4 legged walking and 6 legged walking, and use 4 arms or 2 arms the upper. We verified that the docking robots can carry objects using 4 leg of the upper robot.

Many accidents are being occurred due to many missteps, etc. at the railway platform. Recently in Korea, efforts to prevent casualties fundamentally are being made by installing and operating the PSD(Platform Screen Door) with underground station building as its center to prevent these casualties of passengers. Although this PSD can solve the problem of public casualties at platform fundamentally, it is impossible to install it at whole station buildings since its installation cost is high, and in case of the ground station building of general railway whose operation speed is higher, installation of PSD is impossible due to the characteristics of railway system. This paper proposes the novel safety equipment using Laser radar sensors for the prevention against casualties of passengers at station buildings where the PSDs are not installed like this. The safety equipment using Laser radar sensors is the safety equipment making an approaching train stopped if the falling object is a person by detecting the obstacle at platform through, and it has the merit possible to apply it to station buildings not only in the underground section but also in the ground section since it may detect accurately under ambient environmental elements such as the snow, rain and yellow dust, etc. also. We developed the prototype of the safety equipment to reduce public casualties at platform by using Laser radar sensors and carried out its performance test, and the result is presented in this paper.
