물고기 로봇 연구는 몸체 및 꼬리 관절 궤적의 크기나 주파수의 크기에 따른 로봇의 추력 비교 또는 꼬리 관절 궤적을 적절한 함수로 선정하여 물고기 로봇의 빠른 회전 등과 관련된 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 물고기 로봇이 추력을 받아 앞으로 유영할 경우, 로봇의 몸체 및 꼬리 관절이 사인파와 같이 좌, 우로 요동치며 움직이므로 피드백 제어를 행하기 어렵다. 따라서 물고기 로봇의 경로에 기초한 가상의 위치를 검출하고, 검출된 위치를 사용하여 주어진 경로 위의 예견 점(look-ahead point)을 기준으로 방향 오차를 정의하여 물고기 로봇이 경로를 추종하도록 제어기를 설계하였다. 모의실험 결과 제안된 방법의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a calibration algorithm for a three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) planar cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR). To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we calibrated winches and an optical tracking sensor, measured the end-effector pose using the optical tracking sensor, and calculated the accurate robot configuration using the measurement information. To conduct an accuracy test on the end-effector pose, we followed guidelines from "Manipulating industrial robots - Performance criteria and related test methods." Through the test, it is verified that the position accuracy can be improved by up to 20% for a $2m{\times}2m$-sized planar cable robot using the proposed calibration algorithm.

This paper proposes a method to estimate the level of interest shown by visitors towards a specific target, a guide robot, in spaces where a large number of visitors, such as exhibition halls and museums, can show interest in a specific subject. To accomplish this, we apply deep learning-based behavior recognition and object tracking techniques for multiple visitors, and based on this, we derive the behavior analysis and interest level of visitors. To implement this research, a personalized dataset tailored to the characteristics of exhibition hall and museum environments was created, and a deep learning model was constructed based on this. Four scenarios that visitors can exhibit were classified, and through this, prediction and experimental values were obtained, thus completing the validation for the interest estimation method proposed in this paper.

본 논문은 감시카메라 영상으로부터 응급상황을 탐지하는 방법과 응급상황의 정밀 탐색 및 서비스를 위한 이동로봇 추적 시스템 개발에 대하여 기술한다. 건물 곳곳에 설치된 카메라로부터 얻어지는 일련의 영상들을 분석하여 처리함으로써 사람의 행동을 인식할 수 있으며, 이 중 응급상황이 탐지된 경우 준비된 이동로봇을 이용해 응급상황 발생지점의 정밀 탐색이 가능하다. 감시 카메라 영상을 통하여 사람의 행동들을 인식하기 위해서는 인간의 모습이라고 가정되는 영역들을 추적하고 관리해야 한다. 한 영상에서 가우시안 혼합 모델(MOG)을 이용하여 배경과 분리된 관심 영역들을 추출하고, 각 영역들을 외관 모델을 이용하여 지속적으로 추적한다. 그리고 각 영역의 실루엣 정보를 이용한 움직임 누적 영상(MHI)을 생성하여 행동을 모델링하고 신경망을 이용하여 응급 상황을 최종 인식한다. 또한 응급상황에 처한 사람과 이동로봇의 위치정보를 계산해 이동로봇이 사람에게 접근하는 기술을 구현한다.

With the rising numbers of elderly and disabled people, the demand for welfare services using a robotic system and not involving human effort is likewise increasing. This study deals with a mobile-robot system combined with a BWS (Body Weight Support) system for gait rehabilitation. The BWS system is designed via the kinematic analysis of the robot's body-lifting characteristics and of the walking guide system that controls the total rehabilitation system integrated in the mobile robot. This mobile platform is operated by utilizing the AGV (Autonomous Guided Vehicle) driving algorithm. Especially, the method that integrates geometric path tracking and obstacle avoidance for a nonholonomic mobile robot is applied so that the system can be operated in an area where the elderly users are expected to be situated, such as in a public hospital or a rehabilitation center. The mobile robot follows the path by moving through the turning radius supplied by the pure-pursuit method which is one of the existing geometric path-tracking methods. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through the real experiments those are conducted for path tracking with static- and dynamic-obstacle avoidance. Finally, through the EMG (Electromyography) signal measurement of the subject, the performance of the proposed system in a real operation condition is evaluated.

본 논문에서는 보행이 불편한 노인들의 효과적인 자가 재활을 위한 보행 보조 로봇의 개발에 대해 연구하였다. 개발된 로봇의 주요 특징은 크게 유아보행기 및 전동휠체어 메커니즘을 융합한 안전성 및 운동성향상과 가변저항 및 스테레오 카메라를 이용한 정확한 보행 추종 제어 알고리즘으로 나눌 수 있다. 구체적으로, 유아보행기의 메커니즘을 적용하여 사용자가 보행 중 넘어지는 사고로부터 안전을 확보하는 동시에 다리근육의 부담을 줄여줄 수 있는 골반지지대를 설계하였으며, 전동휠체어와 같이 구동모터를 이용하여 사용자가 적은 힘으로도 로봇을 이동시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 다음으로, 골반지지대에 부착된 가변저항을 이용하여 사용자의 보행 의도 및 방향을 로봇이 자동적으로 판단하고 사용자를 추종할 수 있도록 하였으며, 스테레오 카메라를 이용한 사용자 하체모션분석 알고리즘으로부터 추종 반응속도와 정확성을 한층 높였다. 최종적으로, 단계적인 보행 보조 실험을 통해 개발된 로봇의 사용자 보행 추종 성능을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

In this paper, a decentralized adaptive controller is proposed to control robot manipulators which are governed by highly nonlinear dynamic equations. The controller is computationally efficient since it does not require mathematical model or parameter values of robot manipulators. The stability of the manipulators with the controller is proved by Lyapunov theory. The results of computer simulations show that the robot manipulator system is stable, and has excellent trajectory tracking performance.

To automate the polishing process, a polishing robot with two axes which is attached to a machining center with three axes has been developed by our previous research. This automatic polishing robot is able to keep the polishing tool normal to the curved surface of die and is able to maintain a constant pneumatic pressure. Therefore, in the case of a curved surface die, the surface roughness to be polished by the system with five axes is improved superior than the surface by a three-axis machining center. However, because the polishing robot was big and heavy, a polishing workspace was limited and then it was difficult to attach the robot to machining center. In this study, the smaller and lighter polishing robot than the previous has been designed to improve defects due to the magnitude and weight of the robot. And the sliding mode control ins applied to polishing robot to improve the tracking performance. To obtain switching parameters of sliding mode control, the signal compression method is used. Code separation program to separate the date for a three-axis machining center and a two-axis polishing robot from a five-axis NC data is improved for users to check conveniently the separated trajectory and to handle many data by using the graphic user interface. To evaluate the polishing performance of the developed robot, the polishing experiment for shadow mask was carried out. The result shows the automatic polishing robot has a good trajectory tracking performance and obtains a good polished workpiece efficiently under recommended polishing conditions.

The advent of the convergence era led to the convergence of industries while increasing the uncertainty of R&D. R&D uncertainty can be addressed by identifying and addressing industrial innovation patterns, which Neo-Schumpeterian suggested can be identified through the process of identifying the technical characteristics of a particular industry, which can be embodied in the concept of technology trajectory. Thus, this study considered and proposed a method to track the technology trajectory of the convergence industry through topic modeling and patent citation network analysis, and applied it to the micro medical robot industry, which is a representative convergence industry, to track the technology trajectory of active catheter. In particular, it is intended to identify the unique characteristics of the industry by identifying the industry before the promotion of the national-led medical robot industry support policy. Therefore, we tried to understand the innovation pattern of the industry by tracking the technology trajectory of the industry before 2017, the time of full-scale support for the medical robot industry in the United States. Through tracking technology trajectories, the role of each technology classification, the development path, and the knowledge flow between applicants were analyzed empirically. The results of this study are expected to contribute to resolving the remaining uncertainties in the process of establishing an active catheter R&D strategy, one of the leading convergence industries, and furthermore, it is expected to be available for tracking technology trajectories in other industries.
