In this paper, it is developed simulator system of 3 D.O.F parallel robot for educate of expertness. This simulator system is composed of three parts ? 3 D.O.F parallel robot, controller (hardware) and software. First, basic structure of the robot is 3 active rotary actuator that small geared step motor with fixed base. An input-link is connected to this actuator, and this input-link can connect two ball joints. Thus, two couplers can be connected to the input-link as a pair. An end-plate, which is jointed by a ball joint, can be connected to the opposite side of the coupler. A sub-link is produced and installed to the internal spring, and then this sub-link is connected to the upper and bottom side of the coupler in order to prevent a certain bending or deformation of the two couplers. The robot has the maximum diameter of 230 mm, 10 kg of weight (include the table), and maximum height of 300 mm. Hardware for control of the robot is composed of computer, micro controller, pulse generator, and motor driver. The PC used in the controller sends commands to the controller, and transform signals input by the user to the coordinate value of the robot by substituting it into equations of kinematics and inverse kinematics. A controller transfer the coordinate value calculated in the PC to a pulse generator by transforming it into signals. A pulse generator analyzes commands, which include the information received from the micro controller. A motor driver transfer the pulse received from the pulse generator to a step motor, and protects against the over-load of the motor Finally, software is a learning purposed control program, which presents the principle of a robot operation and actual implementation. The benefit of this program is that easy for a novice to use. Developed robot simulator system can be practically applied to understand the principle of parallel mechanism, motors, sensor, and various other parts.

This paper describes a simple method to reduce rotation angle error of mobile robot using omni-wheel[3](omni-bot). This method can be applied to not only omni-bot, but also other robot with a large number of servo motor. Robot using many servo motor as omni-bot is complicated for hardware and software, each servo motor has difficulty in synchronizing. Three servo motor, three omni-wheel and three serial servo motor controller is used, PC or Micro Processor interface with the serial servo controller through "SSC100" protocol. In order to check the improvement of the proposed serial servo synchronization compared to existing sequential communication method. comparing object is rotation angle error of omni-bot. The results of this make building of omni-bot system easy and decrease rotation angle error.

교육용 로봇은 과학의 기초 원리를 배우고 과학적 창의성을 키우는 것에 효과적인 교육 도구로 소개되면서 방과 후 학습에 적용되어 과학 교육을 위한 교육용 키트의 구성이 바뀌고 있다. 중소기업을 중심으로 과학적 창의성을 키우는 도구로서 다양한 교육용 로봇 기술과 학생들을 위한 다양한 범주의 게임로봇기술이 개발되고 있고, 기존의 mp3 음악이나 e-Learning 콘텐츠의 제공과 같이 로봇용 전문콘텐츠를 다운받아 학습에 활용하는 기술을 개발 중에 있으나 아직 전문 커뮤니티 형성이 미흡한 편이다. 현재는 사용자가 손쉽게 제어가 가능한 인터페이스 모듈용 모터가 개발이 되어있지 않아 1포인트 드래그 연동 스마트터치 제어용 다이나믹 모터 개발이 필요하다.

In this study, we conduct linear and nonlinear modeling of the DC motor driving system of a wheeled mobile robot, which is a nonlinear system involving dead zone, friction, and saturation. The DC motor driving system consists of a DC motor, a wheel, and gears. A linear DC motor driving system is modeled using a steady-state response and parameter measurements. A nonlinear DC motor driving model is identified with the use of the Hammerstein-Wiener method. By using these models, PID controllers for the DC motor system are then established. Each PID controller is applied as a low-level controller in order to achieve posture stabilization control for the real mobile robot. We also compare the performance of the proposed PID controllers in posture stabilization experiments by using several different final robot postures.

This is the survey paper on the role of kinematics in robot development. The robot is considered as a form of mechanical systems which includes closed-chain loop system, open-chain loop system and closed and open switching system. To analyze these systems, kinematic notations has been developed in kinematics of mechanical theory since 1955 and has been applied in robotics. Several kinematic notations including Denavit-Hartenberg notations have been reviewed. The status of development of the spherical motor which has a great impact on the future robot advancement has reviewed, and research activity on a spherical motor and its application to 3-D spatial mechanisms at UNIST is introduced. For the open and closed switching mechanical systems, the bipedal robots' walking theories using Zero Moment Point are reviewed. And current status regarding bipedal robots based on newly developed passive dynamic walking theory is reviewed with the research activity at UNIST on this subject.

In this paper, a new revolute mobile robot arm with five degree of freedom (d.o.f) was developed for autonomous moving robots. As a control system for the robot arm, a distributed control system composed of the main controller and five motor controllers for arm joints was developed. The main controller and the motor controllers w ε re developed using the ARM microprocessor and the TMS320c2407 microprocessor, respectively. A new trajectory tracking algorithm for the motor controllers was devised employing pre-generated off-line trajectory data. Also, a 3-D simulator based on the openGL software to simulate the motion of the robot arm was developed. To validate the performance of the robot system, experiments to track a specified trajectory were performed.

BCI (Brain Computer Interface) is technology to control external devices by measuring the brain activity, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), so that handicapped people communicate with environment physically using the technology. Among them, EEG is widely used in various fields, especially robot agent control by using several signal response characteristics, such as P300, SSVEP (Steady-State Visually Evoked Potential) and motor imagery. However, in order to control the robot agent without any constraint and precisely, it should take advantage of not only a signal response characteristic, but also combination. In this paper, we try to use the fusion of motor imagery and P300 from EEG for practical use of robot control in BCI environment. The results of experiments are confirmed that the recognition rate decreases compared with the case of using one kind of features, whereas it is able to classify each both characteristics and the practical use technology based on mobile robot and wireless BCI measurement system is implemented.

This paper is presented for robot vacuum cleaners using BLDC motors. Recently, BLDC motors which require smaller size, lower sound noise and higher efficiency have been placed in high value-added products including robot vacuum cleaners, vehicle cars and other industry applications. The DC motors have higher sound noise, higher height of the size and lower efficiency due to electro-magnetic structure using the brushes and the commutators. The proposed BLDC motors are appropriate for the motors adequate in regards to higher efficiency, longer life cycle time, and smaller height of the size when robot vacuum cleaners go to some lower height of the space like under sleeping beds and because it's power source is batteries. The paper shows the performance of the BLDC motors designed by the Finite Element Analysis(FEA) of the electro-magnetic field. This paper shows the mechanical structure and the prototype of the motor with the impeller. The performance characteristics of the BLDC motors with the hall sensor controller are verified by the experimental results.
