An autonomous tractor requires not only automatic steering (automatic guidance) but also automated control of tractor functions and implement operations. Examples of tractor functions include engine throttle, transmission speed, and 3-point hitch position. Implement operations include tillage, planting, and cultivating. This article provides an overview of a map-based methodology used for the implementation of autonomous field operations of agricultural tractors. The procedure for developing autonomous field operation maps were presented, and several important issues in the implementation of map-based autonomous operations were discussed. These issues included combining field operation maps, position offset, and real-time sensing and update of field operation maps.

In this paper, a mobile robot is designed for the blind guidance. This system is composed of an Ultrasonic Ranging Vnit, PWM Vnit, Optical Encoder Vnit. Specilly we adapted Distance Comparison Measurement Method (DCMM) in order to compensate for the error resulted from atmospheric conditions, and PWM unit for the vehicle control and Optical encoder unit for the correct locomotion control. This system is processed, using MCS-85 microcomputer, much of information on surrounding conduitions in real time. We rotated ultrasonic sensor for many sifted data acquisition and used tone generator for the Man-Machine Communication. As a result, the measurement error of the distance is about 1cm, the distance measurement could be detected 0.2m to 6m. The locomotion speed is 0.4m/sec and we examined its practical use.

In infants and small children, ultrasound (US) guidance provides ample anatomical information to perform neuraxial blocks. We can measure the distance from the skin to the epidural space in the US image and can refer to it during needle insertion. We may also visualize the needle or a catheter during real-time US-guided epidural catheterization. In cases where direct needle or catheter visualization is difficult, US allows predicting successful puncture and catheterization using surrogate markers, such as dura mater displacement, epidural space widening due to drug injection, or mass movement of the drug within the caudal space. Although many experienced anesthesiologists still prefer to use conventional techniques, prospective randomized controlled trials using US guidance are providing increasing evidence of its advantages. The use of US-guided regional block will gradually become widespread in infants and children.

Intelligent devices using ICT technology have been introduced in the field of construction machinery to improve productivity and stability. Among the intelligent devices, Machine Guidance is a device that provides real-time posture, location, and work range to drivers by installing various sensors, controllers, and satellite navigation systems on construction machines. Conversely, the efficiency of equipment that requires location information, such as machine guidance, will be greatly reduced in buildings, and tunnels in the GPS blind spots. Thus, the other high-precision positioning technologies are required in the GPS blind spot zone. In this study, we will develop a relative position measurement system that provides precise location information such as construction machinery and robots in a local area where the GPS reception is difficult. A relative position measurement system tracks a marker in the form of a sphere installed on a vehicle by using the image base tracking technology, and measures the distance and direction information to the marker to calculate a position.

A fuzzy controller is designed for compensating the cross-coupling effect of induced roll due to the dynamic characteristics of three fin torpedo. Since the utilization of fuzzy-coprocessor has many interfacing problems with typical microprocessors of the guidance and control unit, the simplified fuzzy inference method based on nonfuzzy-processor is proposed to implement fuzzy controllers of three fin torpedo. This method provides a flexible rule-base design to guarantee the robust control. The good potential of the proposed design is shown through real-time simulations using both a mathematical model on AD-100 computer and an implemented controller on Intel 80C186/80C 187 microprocessors employing 12bit A/D converter.

This paper deals with the digital autopilot implementation for a launch vehicle. We propose a hardware and software system for digital autopilot implemented by microprocessor. The hardware system designed in this paper consists of CPU and memory board with 80286 MPU and 80287 NPU and I/O interface with A/D and D/A converters. The software system developed is composed of power-on self-test program, initializing program, interrupt service program, and control program. The performance of the overall system controlled by the digital autopilot implemented in this paper is evaluated via real-time simulations, which show that the control performances are satisfactory.

Autonomous speedsprayer operation was conducted using the developed FLC(Fuzzy Logic Controller). Orchard image and signals of ultrasonic sensors were processed in real time. The speedsprayer was modified to be steered by two hydraulic cylinders. The FLC has two inputs, direction of running and distance from obstacles. The operation time of hydraulic cylinders were inferred as output of the FLC. Field test results showed that the speedsprayer could be autonomously operated by the FLC along with the image processing and the ultrasonic sensors. The ultrasonic sensors didn't contribute to the improvement of guidance performance, but the speedsprayer could avoid trees or obstacles in emergent situations with them.

화재와 같은 재난상황에서 피난행동을 돕는 피난유도시스템의 역할은 중요하다. 그러나 기존의 고정식 유도장치는 다양한 상황에 유연하게 대처하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 피난유도시스템의 역할이 더욱 중요시되는 지하공간에서 실시간으로 화재 및 피난자의 위치를 파악하고 가변식 유도장치를 이용하여 신속하고 효율적인 피난을 가능하게 하는 실시간피난유도시스템을 구상, 설계하고 이를 제작, 설치하여 시험하였다. 또한 점차 대중화되고 있는 유비쿼터스의 기법을 센서간의 연결과 실시간 위치감지에 도입하여 저렴하고 확장성 있는 시스템의 구현을 시도하였다.

Seismic qualification by test is widely used as a way to show the integrity and functionality of equipment that is related to the overall safety of nuclear power plants. Another means of seismic qualification is by direct integration analysis. Both approaches require a series of time histories as an input. However, in most cases, the possibility of using real earthquake data is limited. Thus, artificial time histories are widely used instead. In many cases, however, response spectra are given. Thus, most of the artificial time histories are generated from the given response spectra. Obtaining the response spectrum from a given time history is straightforward. However, the procedure for generating artificial time histories from a given response spectrum is difficult and complex to understand. Thus, this paper presents a simple time-domain method for generating a time history from a given response spectrum; the method was shown to satisfy conditions derived from nuclear regulatory guidance.
