We investigated a nanoscale inertia sensor based on telescoping carbon nanotubes, using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The position of the telescoping nanotubes is controlled by the centrifugal force exerted by the rotation platform, thus, position shifts are determined by the capacitance between carbon nanotubes and the electrode, and the operating frequency of the carbon nanotube oscillator. This measurement system, tracking oscillations of the carbon nanotube oscillator, can be used as the sensor for numerous types of devices, such as motion detectors, accelerometers and acoustic sensors.

This paper presents a navigation error compensation scheme for Strap-Down Inertial Navigation System(SDINS) using electro-optical sensor. The proposed scheme uses the position or the attitude information from the sensor. For each case, Kalman filter model is derived and implemented. To show the effectiveness of the present compensation scheme, computer simulations have been carried out resulting in the boundedness of position and attitude errors.

In this paper, a study on the design of the transmitter-receiver of fuze sensor for discriminating target position is presented. We propose the algorithm for detecting target distance/direction through investigating the operational concept and principle of fuze sensor. Based on the algorithm, We design transmitter-receiver, calculate various design variables and estimate the performance of that one. The estimated result shows that the required performance of fuze sensor is satisfied. Further research on confirming the performance of proposed algorithm through encounter simulation test with real target and resolving problem will be continued.

Generally, a switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive requires a rotor position sensor for commutation and current control. However, this position sensor causes an increase for cost and size of motor drive. In this paper, a sliding mode observer is proposed for indirect position sensing in SRM drive. This estimated rotor position is used for the electric commutation of the machine phases. The paper includes a design approach and operating performance based on the proposed sliding mode observer.

A versatile micro-robotic platform for micro/nano scale assembly has been demanded in a variety of application areas such as micro-biology and nanotechnology. In the near future, a flexible and compact platform could be effectively used in a scanning electron microscope chamber. We are developing a platform that consists of miniature mobile robots and a compact positioning stage with multi degree-of-freedom. This paper presents the design and the implementation of a low-cost and compact multi degree of freedom position sensor that is capable of measuring absolute translational and rotational displacement. The proposed sensor is implemented by using a CMOS type image sensor and a target with specific hole patterns. Experimental design based on statistics was applied to finding optimal design of the target. Efficient algorithms for image processing and absolute position decoding are discussed. Simple calibration to eliminate the influence of inaccuracy of the fabricated target on the measuring performance also presented. The developed sensor was characterized by using a laser interferometer. It can be concluded that the sensor system has submicron resolution and accuracy of ${\pm}4{\mu}m$ over full travel range. The proposed vision-based sensor is cost-effective and used as a compact feedback device for implementation of a micro robotic platform.

본 논문에서는 선체 청소로봇의 자동화를 위한 새로운 위치추정 방법을 제안하였으며, 제안한 위치추정 방법을 실제 선체 청소로봇에 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 동일한 주행방법을 가지는 소형로봇에 적용하여 위치추정 실험을 수행하였다. 위치추정 실험을 통해 광 변위센서를 사용한 위치추정 방법이 회전 엔코더를 사용한 방법보다 더 정확하게 위치를 추정하는 것을 확인하였으며, 더불어 제안한 위치추정 방법을 통해 로봇 주행방향 또한 기존의 회전 엔코더 방식보다 정확하게 계산되는 것을 확인하였다. 이후의 연구에서 제안한 위치추정 방법에 오차보정을 위한 센서를 추가하여 위치추정 정확도를 보완하고, 이를 실제 선체 청소로봇에 적용하여 사용할 계획이다.

In this paper, we present multi-sensor data fusion for telematics application. Successful telematics can be realized through the integration of navigation and spatial information. The well-determined acquisition of vehicle's position plays a vital role in application service. The development of GPS is used to provide the navigation data, but the performance is limited in areas where poor satellite visibility environment exists. Hence, multi-sensor fusion including IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), GPS(Global Positioning System), and DMI (Distance Measurement Indicator) is required to provide the vehicle's position to service provider and driver behind the wheel. The multi-sensor fusion is implemented via algorithm based on Kalman filtering technique. Navigation accuracy can be enhanced using this filtering approach. For the verification of fusion approach, land vehicle test was performed and the results were discussed. Results showed that the horizontal position errors were suppressed around 1 meter level accuracy under simulated non-GPS availability environment. Under normal GPS environment, the horizontal position errors were under 40㎝ in curve trajectory and 27㎝ in linear trajectory, which are definitely depending on vehicular dynamics.

In this paper, the parabolic antenna aims to the precise location of a moving ship or car that can be designed system using the gyro sensor. The parabolic antenna has controlled by stepping motor that is a lot of noise and slow response of speed. It has solved the problem which is noise and slow response using the BLDC motor. Also, in order to suppress the noise two-axis control and a separate encoder to the six degrees of freedom motion system was implemented in a precise location. Generally, the gyro sensor is not required to system that doesn't move the six degrees of freedom motion system. But the system will be applied to the moving such as ships or cars. Finally, we presented the position control algorithm at the sometimes controlled both gyro sensor and BLDC motor. This system was tracking that the location of the antenna to the desired angle and errors almost didn't happen when the system was moved 6 degrees of freedom.

Proximity sensor networks are aimed at estimation kinematic state of target using estimated position of the target by each sensor node or target parameter. To analyze the kinematic state of target, traditional approaches require detections on multiple sensors, very large number of sensors to achieve acceptable performance. In this paper, we propose a novel method which can estimate predicted position of the underwater target using minimum proximity sensor with bearing information to this problem. The proposed algorithm was verified performance through simulation.

This paper proposes an efficient localization algorithm in the RFID sensor space for the precise localization of a mobile robot. The RFID sensor space consists of embedded sensors and a mobile robot. The embedded sensors, that is tags are holding the absolute position data and provide them to the robot which carries a reader and requests the absolute position fur localization. The reader, it is called as antenna usually, gets several tag data at the same time within its readable range. It takes time to read all the tags and to process the data to estimate the position, which is a major factor to deteriorate the localization accuracy. In this paper, an efficient algorithm to estimate the position and orientation of the mobile robot as quickly as possible has been proposed. Along with the algorithm, a new allocation of the tags in the RFID sensor space is also proposed to improve the localization accuracy. The proposed algorithms are demonstrated and verified through the real experiments.
