Nowadays, various speech processing systems are being introduced in the fields of robotics. However, real-time processing and high performances are required to properly implement speech processing system for the autonomous robots. Achieving these goals requires advanced hardware techniques including intelligent software algorithms. For example, we need nonlinear amplifier boards which are able to adjust the compression radio (CR) via computer programming. And the necessity for noise reduction, double-buffering on EPLD (Erasable programmable logic device), simultaneous multi-channel AD conversion, distant sound localization will be explained in this paper. These ideas can be used to improve distant and omni-directional speech recognition. This speech processing system, based on embedded Linux system, is supposed to be mounted on the new home service robot, which is being developed at KIST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology)

In this paper, an approach to dynamic systems control is addressed based on exploiting the potential features of the new nonlinear neural oscillator. Neural oscillators have recently enabled robots to exhibit natural dynamics using their robustness and entrainment properties. To technically accomplish this objective, the neural oscillator should be connected to the robot joints under the sensory feedback. This also requires the neural oscillator to adapt to the non-periodic nature of arbitrary input patterns. However, even in the most widely-used Matsuoka oscillator, when an unknown quasi-periodic or non-periodic signal is applied, its output signal is not always closely entrained. Therefore, current neural oscillators may not be applied to the precise control of the dynamic systems response. We illustrate the enhanced entrainment properties of the new neural oscillator by numerical simulation and show the possibility for implementation to control a variety of dynamic systems. It is verified that the oscillator can produce rhythmic signals for generating actuator signals which can be naturally modified by incorporating sensory feedback to adapt to outer circumstances.

In this paper, range measurement performance of LRF (Laser Range Finder) module and image contrast of color CCD camera are evaluated under the aerosol (high temperature steam) environments, which are simulated severe accident conditions of the LWR (Light-Water-Reactor) nuclear power plant. Data of LRF and color CCD camera are key informations, which are needed in the implementation of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) function for emergency response robot system to cope with urgently accidents of the nuclear power plant.

This paper compares the control techniques for position control experiments of a fixible robot moving in a vertical plane. The flexible manipulator is modeled as an Euler-beroulli beam. Elastic deformantion is representedusing the assumed model method. A comparison function which satisfies all geometric and natural boundary conditions of a cantilever beam with an end mass is used as an assumed mode shape. Lagrange's equation is utilized for the development of a discretized model. Control schemes are developed using PID control,pole placement control and discrete Linear Quadratic Regulater(LQQ). The effectiveness of the developed control schems are compared using computer simulation in view of practical experiment. The simulation results show that PID control is very effective in practical implementation.

In this paper, we developed a Zigbee module based on CC2520 which is possible to construct the mesh network and also support to Zigbee Pro standard as a preceding research of autonomous moving of mobile robot using Zigbee. After manufacturing the Zigbee module, we selected antenna to fit Zigbee wireless frequency band using network analyze as means performance improvement. We also carry out an impedance matching of Zigbee module, extend the possible distance of two-way wireless communication and ensure the safety of communication.

최근 로봇의 형태는 인간의 명령을 이행하고 스스로 학습하며, 감정을 지닐 수 있는 인공지능을 내장한 로봇이다 이와 같은 특징을 지닌 로봇의 용도는 조립, 도장, 용접 둥 단순 반복 작업이나 위험한 산업현장에서 벗어나 좀더 다양한 분야로 그 범위가 확대되고 있다. 활용의 예는 '가족 도우미'의 역할을 수행하는 로봇으로써 가사, 방범, 오락 그리고 교육 등의 기능을 담당하는 형태로써 보다 다양화되고 향후 가정의 필수품으로 자리 잡을 전망이다. 이러한 로봇의 구현에 인공지능의 요소를 활용해야 하는 것은 당연하며 그 범위 또한 광범위하다. 로봇이 여러 가지의 기능을 수행하기 위해서는 환경 정보를 받아들이는 센서의 역할이 크며 이런 센서를 사용조건에 맞게 활용하는 것도 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 로봇에 부착된 센서의 환경 정보값을 적절히 활용하여 로봇의 다양한 기능을 구현할 수 있는 가정용 지능형 서비스 로봇을 구현하고자 한다. 센서 정보는 지능 기법으로 널러 알려진 소프트 컴퓨팅 기법을 사용한다.

유무선 초고속 인터넷 연결과 모바일기기의 발달로 사이버공간을 이용하는 멀티미디어 교육용 콘텐츠에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 인터넷 가상공간에서 로봇조립에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해서 교육용 콘텐츠를 디자인하고 구현한다. 콘텐츠는 로봇 부품을 사용자가 조립해 나가는 과정으로 플래시 애니메이션 기법과 액션 스크립트을 활용해서 동영상과 상호작용을 조립과정 콘텐츠에 나타내었다. 인터넷 가상공간에서 사용자 중심의 상호 작용을 통하여 로봇 조립과정을 구현함으로써 가상공간에서 사용자 직접 조작으로 조립함으로서 교육효과를 증진시킬 수 있다. 현재의 구현과정은 이미지위주의 제한적 조립과정이지만 향후에는 3차원 모델링기반의 AR(증강현실) 구현으로 발전할 수 있다.

This paper describes the methods of spline low-order polynomial trajectory planning using only a few limited look-ahead knots on the desired trajectory for the real-time computing. Specifically presented are the mixed joint trajectory planning methods which apply linear or LSPB method to initial and finial segments, overlapped cubic spline method to the other segments, where the displacements for initial and finial segments are chosen to be relatively smaller than the displacements for the other, equidistant segments. Experimental and simulation results of these methods show smooth motions and improved path tracking performances compared with any other interpolated joint trajectory planning methods.

This paper presents a genetic programming based evolutionary strategy for on-line adaptive learnable evolvable hardware. Genetic programming can be useful control method for evolvable hardware for its unique tree structured chromosome. However it is difficult to represent tree structured chromosome on hardware, and it is difficult to use crossover operator on hardware. Therefore, genetic programming is not so popular as genetic algorithms in evolvable hardware community in spite of its possible strength. We propose a chromosome representation methods and a hardware implementation method that can be helpful to this situation. Our method uses context switchable identical block structure to implement genetic tree on evolvable hardware. We composed an evolutionary strategy for evolvable hardware by combining proposed method with other's striking research results. Proposed method is applied to the autonomous mobile robots cooperation problem to verify its usefulness.
