무인 비행체의 활용범위가 확대됨에 따라 관련 기술의 발전과 기술 수요도 증가하는 추세이다. 무인 비행체의 운영빈도가 늘어나고 운영의 편리성이 강조됨에 따라 관련 자율비행 기술도 중요성이 주목받고 있다. 무인 비행체의 자율 비행에 있어 목적지에 도달하는 경로계획을 세우는 일은 유도제어에서 중요하며 무인화의 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 경로계획 역시 자동으로 생성하는 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 무인 비행체의 자율운영 효과를 높이기 위해서 급속탐색랜덤트리기법으로 생성된 경로를 무인기의 특성에 맞게 최적화하는 기법에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 최적 거리, 최단 시간, 임무점 통과 등의 지표를 달성하기 위해 경로계획을 무인 비행체의 임무 목표와 동적 특성을 고려하여 최적화하였다. 제안한 기법은 장애물 상황에 대한 성능검증을 통해 무인 비행체 경로계획 생성에 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

A lot of robot trajectory tracking methods are proposed to enhance the tracking error, but irregular tracking errors are always accompanied and very hard to reduce it. Up to now, these irregular tracking errors are reduced by introducing more complicated control algorithms. But, it is intuitively obvious to reduce only the big errors selectively in the irregular ones for the better performance instead of using more complicated control algorithms. By the characteristics of the robot, big tracking errors of the end-effector are generated mostly due to the fast moving of joint. So, in this paper, we introduce a new method which reduce the big tracking errors by clippings the joint velocity with the constraint of given path. Using this method, desired trajectory tracking is obtained within the far reduced error bound. Also, this method is successfully applied to generate the path-constrained error reducing trajectories for 2-axis SCARA type robot.

This paper presents the motion planning of robotic vehicles for the path tracking and the obstacle avoidance. To follow the given path, the vehicle moves through the turning radius obtained through the pure pursuit method, which is a geometric path tracking method. In this paper, we assume that the vehicle is equipped with a 2D laser scanner, allowing it to avoid obstacles within its sensing range. The turning radius for avoiding the obstacle, which is inversely proportional to the virtual force, is then calculated. Therefore, these two kinds of the turning radius are used to generate the steering angle for the front wheel of the vehicle. And the vehicle reduces the velocity when it meets the obstacle or the large steering angle using the potentials of obstacle points and the steering angle. Thus the motion planning of the vehicle is done by planning the steering angle for the front wheels and the velocity. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is tested through simulation.

In this paper, we present one approach to achieve safe navigation in indoor dynamic environment. So far, there have been various useful collision avoidance algorithms and path planning schemes. However, those algorithms have a fundamental limitation that the robot can avoid only "visible" obstacles. In real environment, it is not possible to detect all the dynamic obstacles around the robot. There exist a lot of "occluded" regions due to the limitation of field of view. In order to avoid possible collisions, it is desirable to consider visibility information. Then, a robot can reduce the speed or modify a path. This paper proposes a safe navigation scheme to reduce the risk of collision due to unexpected dynamic obstacles. The robot's motion is controlled according to a hybrid control scheme. The possibility of collision is dually reflected to a path planning and a speed control. The proposed scheme clearly indicates the structural procedure on how to model and to exploit the risk of navigation. The proposed scheme is experimentally tested in a real office building. The presented result shows that the robot moves along the safe path to obtain sufficient field of view, while appropriate speed control is carried out.

In this paper, a design method for a logistics transportation robot based on a modular conveyor rack and path planning considering the environment of a logistics center is proposed. The driving part of the logistics transportation robot is designed and the working method of lifter for the transportation function is explained. The design of the modular conveyor rack is also described and an algorithm for a logistics transportation robot using a modular conveyor rack is suggested. The $A^*$ algorithm is improved by using the concept of rotation cost and the initial state of the transportation robot's characteristics. We experimented with a four-step transportation algorithm for a logistics transportation robot using a modular conveyor rack and showed that the proposed method can be used successfully in a logistics center. In addition, we verified the effectiveness of the improved $A^*$ algorithm considering the rotation cost and the initial state of the robot.

This paper addresses the vision based autonomous walking control system. To handle the obstacles which exist beyond the field of view(FOV), we used the 3d panoramic depth image. Moreover, to decide the avoidance direction and walking motion of a humanoid robot for the obstacle avoidance by itself, we proposed the vision based path planning using 3d panoramic depth image. In the vision based path planning, the path and walking motion are decided under environment condition such as the size of obstacle and available avoidance space. The vision based path planning is applied to a humanoid robot, URIA. The results from these evaluations show that the proposed method can be effectively applied to decide the avoidance direction and the walking motion of a practical humanoid robot.

In swarm robot systems, it is vital to maintain network connectivity to ensure cooperative behavior between robots. This paper deals with the behavior control algorithm of the swarm robots for maintaining network connectivity. To do this, we divide swarm robots into search-robots, base-robots, and relay-robots. Using these robots, we propose behavior control algorithm to maintain network connectivity. The behavior control algorithms to maintain network connectivity are proposed for the local path planning using virtual force and global path planning using the Delaunay triangulation, respectively. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method through some simulations.

Recently, the use of robots for painting operations has received much attention, as it is a powerful means for automation and quality improvement. Collision-avoidance is a key issue in the path planning for painting operations. In this paper, we develop a computationally efficient algorithm for the generation of collision-free path for two types of motion: a) Gross motion when the robot approaches the painting area, and b) Fine motion while spraying the surface. The former is a typical collision-avoidance problem, but the latter calls for special attention as the painting mechanics has to be incorporated into path planning. The developed algorithm is applied for the internal coating of the car body whose structure is the major source of collision.

This paper introduces the development of a range sensor based integrated navigation system for a multi-functional indoor service robot, called PSR (Public Service Robot System). The proposed navigation system includes hardware integration for sensors and actuators, the development of crucial navigation algorithms like mapping, localization, and path planning, and planning scheme such as error/fault handling. Major advantages of the proposed system are as follows: 1) A range sensor based generalized navigation system. 2) No need for the modification of environments. 3) Intelligent navigation-related components. 4) Framework supporting the selection of multiple behaviors and error/fault handling schemes. Experimental results are presented in order to show the feasibility of the proposed navigation system. The result of this research has been successfully applied to our three service robots in a variety of task domains including a delivery, a patrol, a guide, and a floor cleaning task.
