This paper presents the development of a new climbing mechanism for inter-block welding in Shipbuilding. The climbing mechanism is that it is career type of robot that can pass over block interval for welding of interblock in shipbuilding. The point part of mechanism is that move ballscrew. The Ballscrew`s capacity account and dynamic analysis of leg part are achieved through this paper. Force and torque analysis were achieved by simulation. This can have strong point in side of cost-cutting and welding amount of work than existent method.

This study investigated the relationship between the response time of DVR (Dynamic Voltage Restorer) and the possible compensation range for voltage dips by the DVR system which protects the 3-phase phase-controlled rectifier from said dips. As a result, the permissible range of voltage dip is presented in a 3-phase phase-controlled rectifier. When the DVR compensates for voltage dip, the range of voltage dip can be compensated according to the DVR's response time. Using the proposed method, DVR response time can be determined from the parameters of the 3-phase phase-controlled rectifier and the possible compensatory range of voltage dip, while at the same time it is possible to use a control system having an appropriate speed. Therefore, the use of excessively fast equipment can be avoided, improving the stability of the overall system. The reliability of the DVR concerning the 3-phase phase-controlled rectifier can be verified by simulation.

본 논문에서는 FMC의 로봇 경로 분석 및 설계를 하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 이용해 FMC의 로봇 패턴을 분석하고 그 결과를 이용해 최적의 로봇 경로를 설계하는 방법을 제시하였다. 전형적인 FMC를 시뮬레이션으로 설계하고 설비에서 신호를 추출 해 순차 패턴 마이닝을 이용해 로봇의 최적 이동 경로를 도출하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이러한 신호의 패턴을 이용한 분석 방법은 로봇의 경로 설계를 도출하기가 용이하여 최적의 경로를 설계하여 FMC에 적용한 결과 기존보다 총 처리량의 증가와 총 처리시간 감소를 가져왔다. 또한 이 방법은 FMC 뿐만 아니라 로봇이 있는 모든 생산라인에 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석이 가능하기 때문에 생산성 향상에 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive observer for electrically driven mobile robots in the presence of parametric uncertainties. To estimate the unmeasured velocities of the mobile robot, we develop an adaptive observer using the transformation matrices which can solve the difficulty caused by the quadratic velocity terms depending on the uncertain parameters. Using the Lyapunov stability theory, we prove that all signals in a closed-loop system converge to zero. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed observer system.

This paper presents an algorithm of local map building for autonomous robot navigation using LASER range finder information. We develop a model of sensor output for a LASER range finder, and obtain an output data of the LASER range finder for a given environment. From the output data, a local map is obtained through the following procedures: (1) filtering of output data to remove noisy and unnecessary data, (2) comparison of filtered data with the original data to restore useful data, (3) thickening of the map obtained from the restored data, and (4) skeletonizing of the thickened map to get a final local map. Through some simulation studies, a map is obtained from the LASER range finder information for a given indoor environment, and is compared with the environment.

This paper proposes a V-shaped Lyapunov function approach for the model-based control of flexible-joint robots, in which a new model-based nonlinear control scheme is designed based on a V-shaped Lyapunov function. The proposed control guarantees global asymptotic stability for link trajectory control while keeping all internal signals bounded. Since joint flexibility is used as a control parameter, the proposed control is not restricted by the degree of joint flexibility and be applied to flexibility-joint, partly-flexibility, or rigid-joint robots without modification. the effectiveness of the proposed control has been by computer simulation.

This paper discusses study of sensorless control of a variable speed switched reluctance motor (SRM) for electric AC compressors on electrical vehicles. A typical SRM drive requires a position sensor such as an encoder or hall sensor to measure the angular rotor position. However, harsh environment in electrical AC compressors for electric vehicles makes it difficult to use the position sensor in their motor drive system. Therefore, a sensorless control scheme for electric compressor motors utilizing magnetic characteristics of SRM with respect to position angle and phase current is proposed. The overall variable speed SRM drive with position sensorless control scheme has been modeled using Matlab/Simulink software and closed loop current control simulation is presented to validate the proposed sensorless drive control.

A local map-based exploration algorithm for mobile robots is presented. Segmented frontiers and their relative transformations constitute a tree structure. By the proposed efficient frontier segmentation and a local map management method, a robot can reduce the unknown area and update the local grid map which is assigned to each frontier node. Although this local map-based exploration method uses only local maps and their adjacent node information, mapping completion and efficiency can be greatly improved by merging and updating the frontier nodes. Also, we suggest appropriate graph search exploration methods for corridor and hall environments. The simulation demonstrates that the entire environment can be represented by well-distributed frontier nodes.

As people's living standard is being improved, human works are being replaced by robots. However, because roost robots are used in process industry, fixed on the ground, we need to develop human robots that have wide applications. Currently many researches are being conducted on human robots with the object of replacing human works, but because of lack of relevant hardware, such robots are being applied limitedly to very simple tasks. To overcome the limitation, the present study developed a kinematical mechanism and a controller. Based on human kinematics, the shoulders and the arms were composed of master arms with 3 degree of freedom, and we reproduced motions similar to human ones through the characteristics of joint variables and experiment on the trajectory of the end effector.
