This paper, proposes concept of personal robot middleware core also called streaming layer. Based on openness and portability, the streaming layer is proposed in order to meet requirements of different kinds of applications. The streaming layer architecture provides effective management of data flows and allows integration of different systems with ease regardless software of hardware platform. With extensibility support additional features can be build in without affect to performance. Therefore, heterogeneous network support, real-time communications, embedded boards support can be easily achieved. In order to achieve high performance together with portability into different platforms, the most functions has to be implemented in C language, while critical parts, such as scheduling, priority assignment has to be made using native functions of tested platforms.

This paper provides a basis for investigating 'The Origin of Artificial Species,' as a robot can be considered as an artificial creature. To design an artificial creature, its general internal architecture is presented and its artificial chromosomes are proposed as its essential components. Rity as an artificial creature is developed in a virtual world of PC to test the world's first robotic 'chromosomes,' which are a set of computerized DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) codes for creating robots (artificial creatures) that can have their own personality, and can ultimately reproduce their kind, or even evolve as a distinct species. The effectiveness of the artificial chromosomes is demonstrated by implanting the genetic code into two Ritys living in a virtual world, in order to define their personality.

GoldStar Industrial Systems Co. R & D center successfully developed the inverter for welding under the support of GoldStar Electric Machinery Co. Now, we are currently working on the mechanical part of articulated robot and a high-performance general purpose motion controller. By combining the above three items, we will be able to constitute the complete welding robot system on our own. In this article. the welding robot system currently under developing is introduced. The main focus will be placed on the development of general purpose motion controller with welding control module. Therefore, the architecture of welding robot controller where the general purpose motion controller is combined with the welding controller module will be explained. Here, the software system will be explained with regard to the hardware system.

This paper presents the development of fire-fighting and rescue robot for Outdoor Environment. In the procedure of this development, we follow Target Oriented Design (TOD) which is recognized as the systematic methodology to design a system by specifying the target clearly. For some real fire fighting tasks (e.g. tasks in shopping street and a market), narrow road make it difficult for existing fire engine to access the firing place. On the other hand, for dangerous tasks (e.g. gasoline station and a storehouse) the explosive materials make it impossible for fire-fighters to access the firing place. Moreover, the smoke and the high-temperature caused by fire make fire fighting difficult. In this situation, the solution is to develop the fire-fighting and rescue robot. TOD is performed firstly by analyzing the environment properties of fro place and the demanded tasks and the fire-fighting and rescue robot is manufactured. For safety, the fire fighting robot should be controlled by remote operation to keep the operator away from the fire, and the control system is divided into three parts: the robot controllers, controller for remote operating device and wireless communication system. We have selected and developed appropriate hardware and software for each part of control system with considering TOD. As a result, the fire-fighting robot functions correctly and the performance and usefulness of our control architecture is validated by successfully performing some fire-fighting tasks.

This paper presents an architecture and control logic of a Flexible Manufacturing Cell (FMC) which is one of the important elements under Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. To implement FMC, it is very important to develop a software which can control and monitor the overall system in an integrated environment. Our primary concern in this research is not to develop individual systems, but to integrate them in the hierarchical control level. Progress on the research of integrating CAD/CAM, Process Planning, Off-line Robot Programming and Simulation module into FMC control system is reported. FMC hardware system used here has an Automated Storage & Retrieval System (AS/RS), a conveyor system, a transfer robot, a CNC milling machine, a bar-code system, and an IBM PC/AT as Cell Control System (CCS). In order to demonstrate the operational result, the name plates, text-carved aluminium plates, are manufactured by this system.

차세대 IT유망 교육 분야로 지능로봇 관련 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 지능로봇은 실세계의 인간 세계와 가장 근접한 환경을 많이 고려하고 있기 때문에 인간의 행위 혹은 판단 능력을 기능으로 제공할 수 있어야 한다. 이와 같은 이유로 최근 로봇 교육은 다양한 하드웨어 형태의 로봇뿐만 아니라, 많은 기능을 포함한 서비스 컴포넌트 아키텍처 형태의 소프트웨어 로봇 개발 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 RDS를 이용한 창의적 문제해결 학습방법에 관하여 제안한다. RDS는 소프트웨어 모듈로서 지능로봇을 제어하거나 프로그램하기 위한 소프트웨어 도구이다. 지능로봇 통합 개발 표준화를 고려한 컴포넌트 프레임워크를 활용하여 다양한 지능로봇의 형태와 여러 환경을 3차원 공간의 시각적 시뮬레이션 환경으로 제공하고 교육시간과 적은 비용으로 지능로봇 실험 환경을 제공할 수 있다.

지능형 네트워크 로봇은 다양한 환경에서 네트워크 시스템과 연계하여 인간과 상호작용을 하며, 상황에 따라 주어진 역할을 수행한다. 유비쿼터스 환경에서 동작하는 네트워크 기반의 URC 로봇은 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서 클라이언트 로봇의 기능을 서버로 분산시킴으로써 클라이언트 로봇을 경량화하는 장점을 갖는다. URC 로봇 환경 중에서 SOMAR는 서버-클라이언트 환경에서 서비스 지향기법으로 로봇 소프트웨어를 개발하기 위해 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 URC 로봇 환경에서 사용 가능한 SOMAR 로봇 클라이언트를 소개하고 그 구현을 보인다. SOMAR 로봇 클라이언트는 디바이스 서비스 계층과 로봇 서비스 계층을 갖는다. 이 중 디바이스 서비스는 디바이스를 제어하는 서비스이고, 로봇 서비스는 다수의 디바이스 서비스를 결합하여 생성된 로봇이 제공하는 서비스를 추상화시킨 것이다. 또한 본 논문에서는 디바이스와 로봇 서비스의 결합 관계를 표현하기 위해 RSEL (Robot Service Executing Language)을 이용하였다. 서비스 결합을 기술한 RSEL 문서는 변환기를 통해 클라이언트 시스템 언어로 변환하고 컴파일링하여 로봇 클라이언트 시스템에 업로드한다. SOMAR 클라이언트 시스템은 호스트/타겟 구조를 갖는 내장형 시스템에 적용하기가 용이하며, RSEL 처리 엔진에 대한 부담을 줄여서 로봇 클라이언트를 경량화시켰다.

This paper implements dual-kernel system using standard Linux and real-time embedded Linux for the real-time control of intelligent robot systems. Such system provides more useful services including standard Linux thread that is easy to implement complicated tasks and real-time tasks for the deterministic response to velocity control. Here, an open source real-time embedded Linux, XENOMAI, is ported on embedded target board. And for interfacing with motor controller we adopted a real-time serial device driver. The real-time task was implemented with a priority to keep the cyclic control command for trajectory control. In order to validate deterministic response of the proposed system, the performance measurement of the delay in performing trajectory control with feedback loop is evaluated with non real-time standard Linux. The proposed software architecture is anticipated to take advantage of features in both standard Linux and real-time operating systems for the intelligent robot systems.

An experimental research is a useful approach for realizing autonomous mobile robots to work in real environment. We are developing an autonomous mobile robot platform named "Yamabico" as a tool for experimental real world robotics research. The architecture of Yamabico is based on the concept of centralized decision making and functionally modularization. Yamabico robot has two level structure with behavior and function levels, and its hardware and software are functionally distributed for providing incremental development and good maintenancibility. We are using many Yamabico robots in our laboratory to realize the robust navigation technology for autonomous robots. The methodology for experimental and task-oriented approach of mobile robotics will be presented. And some experimental results of real world navigation in indoor and outdoor environment will be shown. be shown.
