This paper describes the development of a chest-wearable robot that can efficiently perform self walking rehabilitation without a helper. The features of the developed robot are divided into three parts. First, as a mechanical characteristic, the conventional elbow crutch is attached at the forearm. However, the proposed robot is attached to the patient's chest, enabling them to feel free to use their hands and eliminate the burden of the arms. Second, as a characteristic of the driving algorithm, pressure sensors attached to the chest automatically perceive the patient's walking intention and move the robot-leg thereafter. Also, for safety, it stops operating when an obstacle is found in front of the patient by using ultrasonic sensors and generates a beeping sound. Finally, by using the scotch yoke mechanism, supporting legs are moved up and down using a rotary servo motor without excessive torque that is generated by large ground reaction forces. We showed that the developed robot can effectively perform self walking rehabilitation through walking experiments, and its performance was verified using Electromyograph (EMG) sensors.

In this paper, a new architecture of operating software associated with the component-based method is proposed. The proposed architecture comprises 문 execution module and a decision-making module. In order to make effective development and maintenance, the execution module is divided into three components. The components are referred to as Symbol, Gateway, and Control, respectively: The symbol component is for the GUI environments and the standard interfaces; the gateway component is for the network communication and the structure of asynchronous processes; the control component is for the asynchronous processing and machine setting or operations. In order to verify the proposed architecture, and off-line version of operating software is made, and its steps are as follows; I) Make virtual execution modules for the manufacturing devices such as dual-arm robot, handling robot, CNC, and sensor; ii) Make decision-making module; iii) Integrate the modules and GUI using a well-known development tools such as Microsofts Visual Basic; iv) Execute the overall operating software to validate the proposed architecture. The proposed software architecture in this paper has the advantages such as independent development of each module, easy development of network communication, and distributed processing of resources, and so on.

This paper proposes combination of a cognitive agent architecture named Soar (State, operator, and result) and ROS (Robot Operating System), which can be a basic framework for a robot agent to interact and cope with its environment more intelligently and appropriately. The proposed Soar-ROS human-robot interaction (HRI) agent understands a set of human's commands by voice recognition and chooses to properly react to the command according to the symbol detected by image recognition, implemented on a humanoid robot. The robotic agent is allowed to refuse to follow an inappropriate command like "go" after it has seen the symbol 'X' which represents that an abnormal or immoral situation has occurred. This simple but meaningful HRI task is successfully experimented on the proposed Soar-ROS platform with a small humanoid robot, which implies that extending the present hybrid platform to artificial moral agent is possible.

Recently, robot technology is actively going on progress to the field of various services such as home care, medical care, entertainment, and etc. Because these service robots are in use nearby person, they need to be operated safely even though hardware and software faults occur. This paper proposes a Fault-Tolerant middleware for a robot system, which has following two characteristics: supporting of heterogeneous network interface and processing of software components and network faults. The Fault-Tolerant middleware consists of a Service Layer(SL), a Network Adaptation Layer(NAL), a Network Interface Layer(NIL), a Operating System ion Layer(OSAL), and a Fault-Tolerant Manager(FTM). Especially, the Fault-Tolerant Manager consists of 4 components: Monitor, Fault Detector, Fault Notifier, and Fault Recover to detect and recover the faults effectively. This paper implements and tests the proposed middleware. Some experiment results show that the proposed Fault-Tolerant middleware is working well.

In order to not only perform as a extreme model under the severe operating condition but also acquire more diverse and advanced control capability utilizing high compliance, active vibration control of a flexible 2-link robot manipulator are investigated. Multi variable-structured frequency shaped optimal sliding mode is proposed for the flexible robot manipulator like control system, whose control variables, an angular motion of joint and vibration of flexible link, have to be controlled simultaneously by one control torque at a driving joint. The control system is divided into two subsystems, a control input related subsystem and an added subsystem. The proposed sliding mode, composed of multi control variables, makes optimized relation between subsystems and a individual control input, thus, the sliding mode controller can compensate whole dynamics of each subsystems simultaneously. And the possibility and effectiveness are verified by vibration control of a manipulator having two flexible links. Simulation and experiment results show that the proposed control scheme achieves the purpose effectively.

Most industrial robot can not load control box on their bodies because of robot's weight and volume. A robot is connected to its control box with cables. Complicated connections cause a lot of problems on transfer, management and operating robots. To get rid of those, Control module must be made the smallest size by using advanced electronic technology. This paper represents about how to simulate servo system inserting several parameter values that we ultimately want to achieve. Through simulating, we will be able to estimate the structure of desired servo system without any mistakes that can possibly occur on hardware work.

With the development of robot technology, the expectation of autonomous mission operations has increased, and the research on robot control architectures and mission planners has continued. A scalable and robust control architecture is required for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to perform a variety of tasks, such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and rescue operations, in unstructured and time-varying maritime environments. In this paper, we propose a robot control architecture along with a new utility function that can be extended to various applications for USVs. Also, an additional structure is proposed to reflect the operator's command and improve the performance of the autonomous mission. The proposed architecture was developed using a robot operating system (ROS), and the performance and feasibility of the architecture were verified through simulations.

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.

줄 인형은 인형에 연결된 줄을 당겨 여러 동작을 구현하는 인형이다. 이러한 줄 인형은 사람의 손으로 조작하여야 하므로 인간 크기의 대형 인형으로 무대 공연을 하는 것은 불가능했다. 그러나 와이어로 연결된 구동기를 활용하여 동작하는 줄인형 로봇은 다른 로봇이나 사람과 함께 공연하는 것이 가능한 인간 크기 줄 인형으로 사용될 수 있다. 그리고 모바일 플랫폼과 구동기, 줄 인형 로봇이 장착된 모바일 스테이지를 사용하여 이 논문에서 설계된 대형 줄 인형 로봇 시스템은 별도의 무대 장치 없이도 무대 위 자유로운 이동과 회전이 가능하도록 하였다. 설계된 줄 인형 로봇 구동기 구조의 타당성은 동역학 해석을 활용하여 검증하였고 줄 인형 로봇 시스템의 효용성과 안전성은 실제 로봇을 제작하고 구동시켜 검증되었다.
