The attachment of mobile vehicle is necessary for the automated operation on the inclined or vertical walls of steel structures. Since the vehicle requires attaching devices additionally, its overall efficiency can be reduced by the devices. Therefore, external shapes of mobile vehicles have to be researched to give the effective movement on the vertical face. For the design of mobile vehicle, the guideline has been derived from the modeling of wall-climbing, so that the vehicle should have a specific external shape for vertical movement due to the gravitational force. Hence, some adequate arrangement of attaching device to the mobile vehicle has been presented for the effective movement. In the experiments with four permanent magnetic wheels, a plausible result was achieved as a vertical attaching force of 185.2(N), a friction force of 153.8(N) and a curvature radius of 1.4m. The mobile vehicle should be modified according to the proposed design guideline, and then it could be applied to a specific operation as an appropriate external shape. Also, Further research is recommended on an optimal posture and a moving method in a specific application, as the attaching force of the vehicle can be affected by its posture.

Most tasks of the large vertical or ceiling structures have been carried out by human power. Those tasks require us much operation costs and times, safety devices, etc. So the need of automation for those tasks have been rising. That automation needs a wall-climbing mobile vehicle. Most former researches are things about attachment devices and moving mechanisms. A wall-climbing mobile vehicle must be designed by a method different from the case of the vehicle of the horizontal environment. That is because gravity acts as a negative role on the stability of a wall-climbing vehicle. In this thesis, the particular shape characteristics of a wall-climbing mobile vehicle are derived by the wall-environment modeling. In addition, some design constraints of the permanent magnetic wheel as an attachment device was studied. According to those requirements and constraints, one specific wall-climbing mobile vehicle was designed and some experiments were made on the attachment ability of that vehicle.

In this paper, the Interior Permanent Magnet Generator utilizing the power of the robot engine was designed. We designed considering the required power of the auxiliary power to be also used in robot. The rotor which is suitable for the high speed operation was designed. And the generator which utilized this finite element method (FEM) and can deliver the optimum output to the auxiliary power was designed.

This paper presents a multi-objective optimal design process for an in-wheel permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for high performance. In order to improve the characteristics of the PMSM such as the cogging torque, torque ripple and the back-EMF, the modified Taguchi method and the response surface method (RSM) are utilized. In addition, results of the proposed model are compared with the initial design and it is verified by 2D FEM.

본 연구에서는 해상에서 선박의 외측 표면 검사를 위한 모바일 로봇의 개발에 대해 언급하였다. 해상에서 선체 측면에 대한 검사를 육안으로 진행하기 어려우며 이러한 검사를 효과적으로 수행하기 위해 모바일 로봇은 선체 측면에 부착되어 주행할 수 있는 기능을 갖추어야 한다. 이를 위해 선체 측면과의 부착력을 발생시키기 위해 영구 자석 모듈을 도입하였고, 곡면 주행 시 자기력의 변화를 최소화하는 구조로 설계를 하였다. 이러한 설계를 바탕으로 4개의 네오디움 자석, 4개의 구동바퀴, 영상 획득 모듈로 구성되는 모바일 로봇을 제작하였다. 제작된 로봇에 대해 선체와의 부착력을 확인하기 위한 하중 실험을 실시하였고, 주행이후 정지 시 측면 미끄럼 실험과 주행 속도 측정 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 13 [Kgf]까지 선체와의 부착력을 유지할 수 있었고, 미끄러짐이 없는 하중은 8 [Kgf]까지였다. 주행 실험에서는 6.5 [A]의 전류에 대해 0.82 [m/s]의 속도로 주행할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 선박의 표면 검사를 위해 개발한 모바일 로봇의 특성 실험을 통해 로봇의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a part of North Africa/Europe collaboration results in education to develop project-oriented courses in power electronics and motor drive field. The course aims to teach Permanent Magnet motor drives close to a real world project of significant size and depth so as to be motivational, namely mobile robot project. Particular skills, student will acquire, are those relative to the detailed design and implementation of PM motor controllers in DSP based rapid prototyping environment. Simulation work is completed using graphical modeling tools in Simulink/Plecs, while real-time implementation is achieved by means of eZdspF2812 board and Simulink/TI C2000 Embedded Target tools. This flexible development environment fit the robot traction system very well and provides exactly the functionality necessary for an efficient PM motor drives teaching as demonstrated by a set of simulation and experiments.
