오늘날 일상생활에서 인간과 함께 생활하는 로봇들은 자연스러운 의사소통 방법이 요구된다. 따라서 기존의 단순한 로봇 제어 방식을 이용하여 제어하는 것 보다 실제 사람과 상호작용 하는 것과 같은 방식의 제어방식이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 연구들은 사람의 행동 자체를 인식하는 것에 초점이 맞추어져 있어서 자연스러운 의사소통을 하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 로봇을 제어하는 방법으로 자연스러운 손동작을 은닉 마르코프 모델(HMM: hidden markov model) 과 퍼지추론을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 키넥트 센서를 이용해 색상 데이터와 깊이 데이터를 획득하고 사람의 손을 검색하고 HMM과 Mamdani 퍼지추론을 이용하여 손동작을 인식한다. 인식된 결과를 로봇에게 전달하여 원하는 방향으로 이동시킨다.

In a park or street, we can see many people jogging or walking with their dogs tracking their masters. In this study, an entertainment robot that imitates a dog's behavior is created. The robot's task is tracking a moving target that is recognized as the master. In order to design the robot, the ecological approach. in which the robot's goals and surroundings heavily influence its design, is used. A three-wheel type locomotion system is designed as the robot's physical structure which can follow a human jogging in outdoor space like a park. A sensor system which can detect the position of a master for the robot in the outdoor space, is developed. This sensor system consists of a signal transmitter which is at the hand of a master and some sensors which are mounted on the robot. The transmitter emits RF(radio frequency) and ultrasonic signals and the sensors detect the direction and distance from the robot to the transmitter by using the received signals. For the control architecture of the robot, a purely reactive behavior-based method is used in order to increase speed of response. The developed robot is evaluated through experiments conducted in indoor and outdoor environments.

Recently, the tole-robot operations to an unstructured environment have been widely researched. The human's interaction with the tole-robot system can be used to improve robot operation and performance for an unknown environment. The exact modeling based on real environment is fundamental and important process for this interaction. In this paper, we propose an extrinsic parameter calibration and data augmentation method that only uses a circular jig in the hand-eye laser virtual environment. Compared to other methods, easier estimation and overlay can be done by this algorithm. Experimental results using synthetic graphic demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 모바일 로봇이 자연스러운 손동작을 은닉 마르코프 모델(HMM: hidden markov model)을 이용하여 인식해 원하는 명령을 수행하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 손동작 기반 로봇 제어 방식은 정해진 몇 종류의 제스처를 사용했었고, 따라서 지시동작이 자연스럽지 않았다. 또한 정해진 제스처를 미리 공부해야하여 불편했었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 손동작을 인식하는 방법에 대한 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 카메라를 사용해 색상 데이터와 깊이 데이터를 얻어서, 사람의 손을 검색하고 그 동작을 인식한다. 여기서 동작을 인식하는 방법으로 HMM을 사용하였으며, 인식된 결과를 로봇에게 전달하여 원하는 방향으로 이동시킨다.

Introduction: Surgical robot is the alternative instrument that substitutes the difficult and precise surgical operation; should have intuitiveness operationally to transfer natural motions. There are limitations of hand motion derived from contacting mechanical handle in the surgical robot master interface such as mechanical singularity, isotropy, coupling problems. In this paper, we will confirm and verify the feasibility of intuitive Non-restraint master interface which tracking the hand motion using infra-red camera and only 3 reflective markers without the hardware handle for the surgical robot master interface. Materials & methods: We configured S/W and H/W system; arranged 6 infra-red cameras and attached 3 reflective markers on hands for measuring 3 dimensional coordinate then we find the 7 motions of grasp, yaw, pitch, roll, px, py, pz. And we connected Virtual-Master to the slave surgical robot(Laparobot) and observed the feasibility. To verify the result of motion, we compare the result of Non-restraint master and that of clinometer (and protractor) through measuring 0~180 degree, 10degree interval, 1000 samples and recorded standard deviation stands for error rate of the value. Results: We confirmed that the average angle values of Non-restraint master interface is accurately corresponds to the result of clinometer (and protractor) and have low error rates during motion. Investigation & Conclusion: In this paper, we confirmed the feasibility and accuracy of 3D Non-restraint master interface that can offer the intuitive motion of non-contact hardware handle. As a result, we can expect the high intuitiveness, dexterousness of surgical robot.

Recently taping robot with smart recognition function have been studied in the coil manufacturing field. Due to the difficulty of 3D surface processing from the complicated working environment, it is not easy to accomplish smart tape attachment motion with non-contact sensor. To solve these problems the applicable surface recognition algorithm and a flexible sensing device has been recommended. In this research, the fusion method between 1D displacement and 3D laser scanner is applied for robust tape attachment about cold rolled coil. With these sensors we develop a two-step exploration and the smart algorithm for the awareness of non-aligned coil's information. In the proposed robot system for tape attachment, the problem is reduced to coil's radius searching with laser displacement sensor at first, and then position and orientation detection with 3D laser scanner. To get the movement at the robot's base frame, the hand-eye compensation between robot's end effector and sensing device should be also carried out respectively. In this paper, we examine the auto-coordinate transformation method in the calibration step for the real environment usage. From the experimental results, it was shown that the taping motion of robot had a robust under the non-aligned cold rolled coil.

Stroke patients should exercise for the rehabilitation of their fingers, because they can't use their hand and fingers. The moving direction of thumb of five fingers is different that of four fingers (force finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger). The thumb rehabilitation robot for rehabilitation exercise must be included a force control system, because robot can injure thumb by applying too much force. In this paper, the rectangular-type thumb rehabilitation robot was developed for stroke patient's thumb rehabilitation exercise of the flexibility rehabilitation exercise. The characteristic test of the developed rectangular-type thumb rehabilitation robot was carried out with normal men in their twenties. As a result, it is thought that the robot can be used for the flexibility rehabilitation exercise of stroke patient's thumb.

The purpose of this paper is to establish a method of design of the Ultrasonic Motor for Driving Robot Hand. This method is based on two models for the ultrasonic motor(a two dimensional elastic contact model. electric equivalent circuit). And analyzed the basic model which installed in the module to match the suitable standard. As varied external diameter, internal diameter and thickness, the proper ultrasonic motor is implemented to find a targeted resonant-frequency and torque near to designed values.

Intelligent Robot is considered as one of the Next Generation Growth Engine in many countries. The application fields are expected to be widen from 80's robotics for manufacturing to many applications such as military, space, medical, personal, etc. To reduce the R&D investment risk Technical Roadmap is prepared by Japan, Europe and Korea. In this paper, the technical Roadmap of the countries was analysed to get the idea of future of Robotics. Robotics is considered as one of solutions of future aged society. Robot can assist and company with elderly people in the near future. On the other hand, Robot is considered as a core technology of manufacturing competitive power. Industrial competitiveness also would be dependent on robot technology. Special Service robot has many application areas and each country has different target based on the situation. With the comparison of technical roadmap, we have suggested some ideas to improve Korea's roadmap.
