This paper deals with the implementation of a small humanoid robot controller on the basis of Real Time Operating System(RTOS) and the FPGA. This controller was adapted to the humanoid robot with 25 DOFs, which are 12 DOFs in each leg, 8 DOFs in each arm, 3 DOFs in waist, and 2 DOFs in head. The robot actuators were used DX-117 servo motors that have all of the controller components in one module in order to simplify the control structure. In addition, the main controller is FPGA of Virtex4-FX from Xilinx, and ported on VxWorks that is kind of RTOS. It is essential to install this RTOS on the complex control system and to do control activity at the multitasking environments. This paper suggested the method of distributing the computational load in the humanoid robot controller using the FPGA and RTOS concepts. All of the control process was verified through the real action of the humanoid.

Robotics and artificial intelligence are components of IT that involve networks, electrical and electronic engineering, and wireless communication. We consider an algorithm for efficient navigation by building a precise map in a multi-robot system under conditions of limited and unlimited communications. The basis of the navigation algorithm described in this paper is a wave algorithm, which is effective in obtaining an accurate map. Each robot in a multi-robot system has its own task such as building a map for its local position. By combining their data into a shared map, the robots can actively seek to verify their relative locations. Using shared maps, they coordinate their exploration strategies to maximize exploration efficiency. To prove the efficiency of the proposed technique, we compared the final results with the results in $Burgard^{8}$ and $Stachniss.^{9-10}$ All of the simulation comparisons, which are shown as graphs, were made in four different environments.

A robust controller with the sliding mode is proposed for stable dynamic walking of the biped robot in this paper. For the robot system to be controlled, which is modeled as 14 DOF rigid bodies by the method of multi-body dynamics, the joint angle trajectories are determined by the velocity transformation matrix. Also Hertz force model and Hysteresis damping element are utilized for the ground reaction and impact forces during the contact with the ground. The biped robot system becomes unstable since those forces contain highly confused noise components and some discontinuity, and modeling uncertainties such as parameter inaccuracies. The sliding mode control is applied to solve above problems. Under the assumption of the bounded estimation errors on the unknown parameters, the proposed controller provides a successful way to achieve the stability and good performance in spite of the presence of modeling imprecisions of uncertainties.

In order to fully utilize the functions of the hand which is the end effector of the upper limb, other parts of the upper limb have to perform their own roles. Among them, the pronation and supination of the forearm, which allows the hand to rotate along the longitudinal direction of the forearm, play an important role in activities of daily living. In this paper, a soft wearable robot that assists the pronation and supination of the forearm for individuals with weakened or lost upper limb function is proposed. The wearable robot consists of an anchoring part with polymer (wrist strap, elbow strap), a tendon with a belt and wire, and an actuation module. It was developed based on the requirements with respect to friction of anchoring part, forearm compression, and friction of the tendon. It was confirmed that these requirements were satisfied through literature review and experiments. Since all components exist within the forearm when worn, it is expected to be easy to combine with the already developed soft wearable robots for the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder.

전방향 모바일 로봇은 로봇의 방향을 바꿀 필요 없이 어떤 방향으로든 움직일 수 있어 여러 응용 분야에서 적용이 쉽고 뛰어난 기동성을 제공한다. 전방향 모바일 로봇은 마찰과 같은 비선형 동적 성분을 가지고 있어 정확히 모델링하기에 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 비선형 성분을 제거하기 위하여 모바일 로봇의 역 다이내믹과 적분 슬라이딩 모드 제어기법을 사용하여 모바일 로봇 시스템을 선형화하고, 제안된 제어기법의 최적 성능을 구현하기 위하여 유전알고리즘을 사용하여 위치 및 속도 이득을 최적화한다. 성능 평가 결과 유전알고리즘을 적용한 제어기법이 임의의 이득을 갖는 제어기법보다 뛰어난 성능을 나타내었다. 그리고 제안된 역 다이내믹과 적분 슬라이딩 모드 제어기법은 다른 제어기법에서도 적용될 수 있으며, 특히 선형제어시스템 설계에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Among the various industrial robots, palletizing robots have received particular attention because of their higher productivity in accordance with technological progress. When designing a palletizing robot, the main components, such as the servo motors and reducers, should be properly selected to ensure its performance. In this study, a practical method for selecting the motors and reducers of a robot was proposed by performing the dynamic analysis of rigid-flexible multibody systems using ANSYS and ADAMS. In the first step, the links and frames were selected based on the structural analysis results obtained from ANSYS. Subsequently, a modal neutral file (MNF) with information on the flexible body was generated from the links and frames using modal analysis through ANSYS and APDL commands. Through a dynamic analysis of the flexible bodies, the specifications of the major components were finally determined by considering the required torque and power. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the analysis results were compared with those of a rigid-body model. The comparison showed that rigid-flexible multibody dynamic analysis is much more useful than rigid body analysis, particularly for movements heavily influenced by gravity.

We have developed the unconventional robot arm which is composed of the two main parts, one is a ball screw and the other is a robot arm. The dynamic systems of the robot arm and ball screw are unstable systems coupled with each other. The ball screw mechanism is unstable system but controllable system. The robot arm's dynamics is quasi stable system when ball screw's angular position is zero, else, unstable system. Our system has the duality between stability and controllability at the view point of control. This duality causes difficulty to control of the robot arm using normal control law. We have investigated the location of the characteristic roots of the dynamic equation. And we have found out that the best condition for the control of the arm is quasi stable state. In this paper, we have proposed multiple control laws which are consist of three components to guarantee the stability and controllability simultaneously. The computer simulations were carried out based on VSC about the angular position control of the robot arm, and it is confirmed that the good performances could be obtained by using new controller.

최근 PISA와 TIMSS 연구에 따르면 우리나라 학생들은 수학과 과학에 대한 높은 성취 결과에 비해 교과의 흥미는 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 목적은 초등학교에서 로봇 활용 STEAM 교육이 수학 학습태도 및 과학 학습동기에 미치는 영향을 검증하는데 있다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 실험집단에는 과학, 수학, 미술교과를 '에너지'라는 주제로 로봇활용 융합적인 STEAM 수업을 실시하였고 통제집단은 세 교과를 분과적인 방식으로 수업하였다. 로봇활용 STEAM교육 수업을 위해 4학년 2학기 수학, 과학, 미술교육과정을 분석하였으며 선택된 '에너지' 주제를 중심으로 STEAM 수업모형을 설계하고 적용하였다. 과학수업은 로봇을 활용하여 열전달 실험을 실시하였으며 얻어진 실험결과는 수학수업의 꺾은선그래프 단원에 연계하였다. 미술수업에서는 열에너지의 느낌을 형과 색으로 표현해보고 상상 표현을 위해 로봇부품을 활용 하였다. 연구결과 로봇활용 STEAM 수업을 실시한 실험집단에서 전통적 교과수업보다 수학 학습태도 및 과학 학습동기가 높게 나타났다(p<.05). 이와 같은 결과는 초등학교에서 로봇활용 STEAM 수업이 수학 및 과학의 흥미 신장에 효과적임을 입증하였다.

This paper discusses sliding made control of robot manipurators assuming that nonlinear terms, which are inertia term, Coriolis force term and centrifugal taffn, are external disturbances. We obtained the unknown parameter of its linear terms by Signal Compression Method. We propose a new control input algorithm to decrease chattering in the application of sliding mode control of manipulator whose nonlinear components are regarded as disturbances. In this experiments, we used DSP(Digital Signal Processor) controller to suppress chattering by obtaining a quick switching speed.

In this paper, a sliding mode control scheme that guarantees the smoothness of the control signal and the exponential error convergence is proposed for robot manipulators. The proposed method inserts a low pass filter (LPF) in front of the plant, and the virtual controller is designed for the virtual plant - the combination of the LPF and the robot manipulator. The virtual control signal contains high frequency components because of a switching function. The real control signal, however, always shows a smooth curve since it is an output of the LPF. In addition to the smoothness of the control signal is always assured, the overall system is in the sliding mode at all times, that is, its performance is always invariant under the existence of parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The closed-loop system is shown to be globally exponentially stable.
