Modular toys for creative education require functional blocks to create various types of movements. An active drive module and a lot of passive connection blocks are needed to express motion with combination. In this paper, we propose the design of modular toys to produce various creative movements and controller structure working with them. In order to facilitate the connection between the designed modules, a connection method and a suitable mechanism are suggested. We also dealt with the design of various types of sensor modules that can work in conjunction with modular toys. Using these toys, typical standard application form that can be imitated educationally is suggested and showed the usefulness of the modular toy by actually applying it with designed modules and components. The proposed method is applied to actual educational toys, and the operation is effectively performed by recording operation and playing repetitive operation.

Recently, various IoT devices are being developed to suit the user's lifestyle in our daily lives. In this paper, a smart coffee machine using IoT technology was implemented through an application and an ESP-01 WiFi module. The implemented smart coffee machine is different from existing coffee machines with alarm functions in that it can manage the desired date and time with an application by combining IoT. The application uses Android Studio to input data and transmits appropriate information to the smart coffee machine. An Arduino-based circuit was configured to control the coffee machine and MP3 module so that coffee is extracted at the desired time and an alarm sound is heard through the speaker. The extracted coffee can be divided into three stages: hot, warm, and lukewarm depending on the temperature. Finally, the suitability of the implemented smart coffee machine was confirmed through an experiment on the change in coffee temperature according to the amount of water and time.

In this paper, we propose a monitoring system that starts with the supply of raw materials for threading, is processed into a lathe machine, and checks for defects of the product are automatically performed by the robot with Smart Factory technology through assembly and disassembly. Completion check according to the production instruction quantity and production instruction is made by checking the production status according to whether or not the raw material is worn by the displacement sensor, and checking the pitch and the contour of the processed female and male to determine OK and NG. The robotic system acts as a relay for loading and unloading of raw materials, pallet transfer, and overall process, and it acts as an intermediary for organically driving. The location information of the threaded products is collected by using the non-contact wireless tag and the energy saving system Production efficiency and utilization rate were checked. The environmental sensor collects the air-conditioning environment data (temperature, humidity), measures the temperature and humidity accurately, and checks the quality of product processing. It monitors and monitors the driving hazard level environment (overheating, humidity) of the product. Controls for CNC and robot module PLC as a heterogeneous system.

Laser vision inspection systems are becoming popular for automated inspection of manufactured components. The performance of such systems can be enhanced by improving accuracy of the hardware and robustness of the software used in the system. This paper presents a new approach for enhancing the capability of a laser vision system by applying hardware compensation and using efficient analysis software. A 3D geometrical model is developed to study and compensate for possible distortions in installation of gantry robot on which the vision system is mounted. Appropriate compensation is applied to the inspection data obtained from the laser vision system based on the parameters in 3D model. The present laser vision system is used for dimensional inspection of car chassis sub frame and lower arm assembly module. An algorithm based on simplex search techniques is used for analyzing the compensated inspection data. The details of 3D model, parameters used for compensation and the measurement data obtained from the system are presented in this paper. The details of search algorithm used for analyzing the measurement data and the results obtained are also presented in the paper. It is observed from the results that, by applying compensation and using appropriate algorithms for analyzing, the error in evaluation of the inspection data can be significantly minimized, thus reducing the risk of rejecting good parts.

현재 가정을 비롯한 여러 분야에서 서비스 로봇(청소 로봇, 애완용 로봇, 멀티미디어 로봇 둥)의 사용이 증가하고 있는 시장상황을 보이고 있다. 개인용 서비스 로봇은 인간 친화적 특성을 가져야 그 선호도가 높아질 수 있는데 이를 위해서 사용자의 감정 인식 및 표현 기술은 필수적인 요소이다. 사람들의 감정 인식을 위해 많은 연구자들은 음성, 사람의 얼굴 표정, 생체신호, 제스쳐를 통해서 사람들의 감정 인식을 하고 있다. 특히, 음성을 인식하고 적용하는 것에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 감정 인식 시스템을 두 가지 방법으로 제안하였다. 현재 많이 개발 되어지고 있는 음성인식 모듈을 사용하여 단어별 감정을 분류하여 감정 표현 시스템에 적용하는 것과 마이크로폰을 통해 습득된 음성신호로부터 특정들을 검출하여 Bayesian Learning(BL)을 적용시켜 normal, happy, sad, surprise, anger 등 5가지의 감정 상태로 패턴 분류를 한 후 이것을 동적 감정 표현 알고리즘의 입력값으로 하여 dynamic emotion space에 사람의 감정을 표현할 수 있는 ARM 플랫폼 기반의 음성 인식 및 감정 표현 시스템 제안한 것이다.

This paper presents the moving object tracking method using vision system. In order to track object in real time, the image of moving object have to be located the origin of the image coordinate axes. Accordingly, Fuzzy Control System is investigated for tracking the moving object, which control the camera module with Pan/Tilt mechanism. Hereafter, so the this system is applied to mobile robot, we design and implement image processing board for vision system. Also fuzzy controller is implemented to the StrongArm board. Finally, the proposed fuzzy controller is useful for the real-time moving object tracking system by experiment.

In the large system such DC distribution for building, the method that a number of modules converters operation in parallel is commonly used. When parallel operation, circulating current is directly related to the loss of the entire system. Accordingly, each module to share the same current is the most important for the safety of the power system. In this paper, control method for reducing circulating current in parallel operation is proposed. furthermore response and operation of steady-state with parallel system was verified by simulation and experiment results.

In this paper, we propose a global ultrasonic system for the self-localization and autonomous navigation of indoor mobile robots. The ultrasonic sensor is regarded as the most cost-effective ranging system among the possible alternatives, and it is widely used for general purpose, since it requires simple electronic drivers and has relatively high accuracy. The global ultrasonic system presented in this paper consists of four or more ultrasonic generators fixed at reference positions in the global coordinates of an indoor environment and two receivers mounted on the mobile robots. By using the RF (Radio Frequency) modules added to the ultrasonic sensors, the robot is able to control the ultrasonic generation and to obtain the critical distances from the reference positions, which are required in order to localize is position in the global coordinates. A kalman filter algorithm designed for the self-localization using the global ultrasonic system and the experimental results of the autonomous navigation are presented in this paper.

The production processes were reviewed through the injection analysis of the shift lever as a core component of an auto lever installed in the automatic transmission of cars. The injection analysis was carried out for the shift lever and rod among the components in a shift lever module. The shift lever and rod are designed for injection molding with the insertion of a tube, a pin cable plate, and a steel rod for securing the strength of the product. The charging time, failure of injection molding, weld line, air trap, and deformation were reviewed according to this insert. Analyses on various gate positions were carried out for reviewing the cultivation and deformation of fiber around major components, such as the generation section of manipulation feeling and assembly section, so that optimal gate conditions might be reviewed and reflected in the mold design. Finally, we plan to compare the analysis results with the production of trial products.
