Optimal configurations for redundant TDOF (Two Degree Of Freedom) sensor systems are proposed. The determinant of error covariance matrix is used as the performance index, and optimal configurations for 2 TDOF sensor system and 3 TDOF sensor system are evaluated by minimizing the index.

When inertial navigation system(INS) employ more sensors that mutually orthogonal sets to three, the redundant sensor system can have improved reliability and accuracy. For the redundant system the placement of redundant sensors is related to the system performance and also the number and proper orientation of sensors are important. We consider INS sensor configurations using two IMUs comprised mutually orthogonal sets of three. We suggest several configurations using two IMUs and analyze the system performance and the FDI(fault detection and isolation) properties from suggested configurations.

센서 네트워크 시스템의 센서 노드들은 싱크 노드와 무선으로 송수신하며 사람이 일일이 접근하기 힘든 방대한 지역의 센서 데이터를 획득 및 전송한다. 하지만 센서 노드들의 중복 센서 데이터의 비효율적인 반복 전송은 전체 시스템의 수명을 짧게 하고, 이때 발생하는 많은 양의 데이터들은 사용할 때 다시 선별해야 하는 번거로움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 네이밍 에이전트의 네임 스페이스의 메타 테이블로부터 제공되는 이주 대상 노드들을 차례로 방문하여, 사용자 조건에 따라 중복 센서 데이터를 제거하고, 용도 및 필요에 따라 센서 데이터를 수집 및 전송함으로써 센서 데이터의 과잉 송수신을 막고 전체 시스템의 수명을 늘릴 수 있는 이동 에이전트 미들웨어를 설계 및 구현한다. 또한, 실제 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 상황을 고려한 조건 및 제한들을 적용한 이동 에이전트를 이용한 실험을 통하여 중복 센서 데이터의 제거 및 데이터 수집의 효율성을 보이고, 향후 제안된 이동 에이전트 미들웨어에 능동 규칙을 탑재하거나 능동 규칙 시스템과의 연계를 통하여 다양한 능동적 센서 네트워크 응용에의 적용 가능성을 보인다.

The redundant sensor configuration problem of inertial navigation system(INS) is considered and analyzed the navigation and fault detection performance according to various sensor configurations. We considered various kinds of redundant sensor configurations for symmetric, cone, and orthogonal configurations and compare the navigation and fault detection performance for the configurations. We show that the navigation and fault detection performance is not affected by the coordinate change for a fixed configuration.

In this paper we present a cleaning robot system for an autonomous mobile robot. Our robot performs goal reaching tasks into unknown indoor environments by using sensor fusion. The robot's operation objective is to clean floor or any other applicable surface and to build a map of the surrounding environment for some further purpose such as finding the shortest path available. Using its cleaning robot system for an autonomous mobile robot can move in various modes and perform dexterous tasks. Performance of the cleaning robot system is better than a fixed base redundant robot in avoiding singularity and obstacle. Sensor fusion using the clean robot improves the performance of the robot with redundant freedom in workspace and Map-Building. In this paper, Map-building of the cleaning robot has been studied using sensor fusion. A sequence of this alternating task execution scheme enables the clean robot to execute various tasks efficiently. The proposed algorithm is experimentally verified and discussed with a cleaning robot, KCCR.

We consider some problems of the Modified SPRT(Sequential Probability Ratio Test) method for fault detection and isolation of inertial redundant sensor systems and propose an Advanced SPRT method to solve the problems of the Modified SPRT method. One problem of the Modified SPRT method to apply to inertial sensor system comes from the effect of inertial sensor errors such as misalignment, scale factor error and sensor bias in the parity vector, which make the Modified SPRT method hard to be applicable. The other problem is due to the correlation of parity vector components which may induce false alarm. We use a two-stage Kalman filter to remove effects of the inertial sensor errors and propose the modified parity vector and the controlled parity vector which removes the effect of correlation of parity vector components. The Advanced SPRT method is derived form the modified parity vector and the controlled parity vector. Some simulation results are presented to show the usefulness of the Advanced SPRT method to redundant inertial sensor systems.

The sensor network is a key component of the ubiquitous computing system which is expected to be widely utilized in logistics control, environment/disaster control, medical/health-care services, digital home and other applications. Nodes in the sensor network are small-sized and exposed to adverse environments. They are demanded to perform their missions with very limited power supply only. Also the sensor network is composed of much more nodes than the wireless ad hoc networks are. In case that some nodes consume up their power capacity, the network topology should change, and rerouting/retransmission is necessitated. Communication protocols studied for conventional wireless networks or ad hoc networks are not suited for the sensor network resultantly. Schemes should be devised to control the efficient usage of node power in the sensor network. This paper proposes a medium access protocol to enhance the efficiency of energy consumption in the sensor network node. Its performance is analyzed by simulation.

수중 탐지를 위한 합성개구소나(Synthetic Aperture Sonar, SAS) 신호처리에서는 탑재플랫폼이 직선경로를 따라 주행한다고 가정한다. 그러나 실제로는 플랫폼의 복잡한 운동에 따른 궤적 교란으로 인해 SAS 영상에 번짐과 같은 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 예인형 SAS 개발을 위해 궤적 교란에 의한 SAS 영상 왜곡을 개선하기 위한 방법으로서, Redundant Phase Center (RPC)을 이용한 예인체 운동 추정 및 영상 보정, 그리고 자동 초점 기법인 Phase Gradient Autofocus (PGA) 기법에 대해 검토하였다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통해, sway로 인해 왜곡된 SAS 영상에 이 기법들을 적용하고 그 성능 및 유효성에 대해 살펴보았다.

The configuration of redundant inertial sensors are very important when considering navigation performance and fault detection and isolation (FDI) performance. By constructing a redundant sensor system using multiple inertial sensors, it is possible to improve the navigation performance and fault detection and isolation performance, which are highly related to the sensor configuration and allocation. In order to deploy multiple MEMS inertial measurement units effectively, a configuration and allocation methods considering navigation performance, fault detection and isolation performance, and lever arm effect in one plane are presented, and the performance is analyzed through simulation in this research. From the results, it is confirmed that the proposed configuration and allocation method can improve navigation, FDI, and lever arm effect rejection performances more effectively by more than 70%.

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) demonstrated a method for monitoring the performance of instrument channels in Topical Report (TR) 104965, 'On-Line Monitoring of Instrument Channel Performance.' This paper presents the results of several models originally developed by EPRI to monitor three nuclear plant sensor sets: Pressurizer Level, Reactor Protection System (RPS) Loop A, and Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Loop A Steam Generator (SG) Level. The sensor sets investigated include one redundant sensor model and two non-redundant sensor models. Each model employs an Auto-Associative Kernel Regression (AAKR) model architecture to predict correct sensor behavior. Performance of each of the developed models is evaluated using four metrics: accuracy, auto-sensitivity, cross-sensitivity, and newly developed Error Uncertainty Limit Monitoring (EULM) detectability. The uncertainty estimate for each model is also calculated through two methods: analytic formulas and Monte Carlo estimation. The uncertainty estimates are verified by calculating confidence interval coverages to assure that 95% of the measured data fall within the confidence intervals. The model performance evaluation identified the Pressurizer Level model as acceptable for on-line monitoring (OLM) implementation. The other two models, RPS Loop A and RCS Loop A SG Level, highlight two common problems that occur in model development and evaluation, namely faulty data and poor signal selection
