본 논문에서는 제조 공장 내 AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) 주행 중 객체 인식을 위한 YOLO v3 알고리즘의 정확도에 대해 살펴보았다. 실험을 위해 2D LiDAR 및 스테레오 카메라가 장착된 AGV를 준비하였다. AGV 주행 중 2D LiDAR를 활용한 SLAM 기법으로 지도 정보를 획득하였고 스테레오 카메라를 활용한 객체 인식이 이루어졌다. 그리고 YOLO v3 알고리즘 기반의 학습 정도에 따른 재현율, AP, mAP 등을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 4000장의 train data 와 500장의 test data 로 훈련된 YOLO v3 알고리즘에 AGV에 장착된 스테레오 카메라의 시점과 높이에서 획득한 1200장의 이미지를 추가로 학습할 경우 mAP가 약 10% 향상되었다. 정밀도(precision) 와 재현율 역시 각각 6.8%와 16.4% 향상되었다.

본 연구에서는 지하광산에서 로봇의 위치를 추정하고, 여러 경유지를 거쳐 주행한 후 원위치로 복귀하는 ROS (Robot Operating System) 기반의 자율주행 로봇을 개발하였다. 자율주행 로봇은 SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) 기술을 활용하여 주행 경로에 대한 전역 지도를 사전에 생성한다. 이후, 라이다 센서를 통해 측정되는 벽면의 형태와 전역 지도를 매칭하고 AMCL (Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization) 기법을 통해 데이터들을 융합하여 로봇의 위치를 보정한다. 또한, 라이다 센서를 통해 전방 주행환경을 인지하고, 장애물을 회피한다. 개발된 자율주행 로봇을 활용하여 지하광산 현장을 모사한 실내 실험장을 대상으로 주행 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 자율주행 로봇은 다중 지점의 경유지에 대해 순차적으로 주행하고 장애물을 회피하며 안정적으로 복귀하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This report introduces a definition for robot task intelligence and explains the basis of the challenges associated with implementing robot task intelligence in real-world problems. Two fundamental elements of this intelligence, robot manipulation and navigation, are introduced herein. We describe the existing trends and industrial applications of the robot task intelligence in logistics and agricultural automation. Furthermore, as an underpinning technology for this intelligence, we review the existing three-dimensional position estimation techniques and summarize the difficulties associated with applying pure SLAM technology to real-world applications. Finally, we discuss the prospects of the robot task intelligence research and its potential for solving real-world problems.

Recently many studies of Radar systems mounted on ground vehicles for autonomous driving, SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping) and collision avoidance are reported. In near field, several hits per an object are generated after signal processing of Radar data. Hence, clustering is an essential technique to estimate their shapes and positions precisely. This paper proposes a method of grouping hits in range-doppler domains into clusters which represent each object, according to the pre-defined rules. The rules are based on the perceptual cues to separate hits by object. The morphological connectedness between hits and the characteristics of SNR distribution of hits are adopted as the perceptual cues for clustering. In various simulations for the performance assessment, the proposed method yielded more effective performance than other techniques.

3D scan technology can utilize real spatial information as it is in virtual space, so it can be usefully used in various fields such as reverse engineering of buildings and process management. Recently, with the development of ICT technology, more precise scan data can be obtained, and scan processing time has also been greatly reduced. In addition, the combination of software and scanning equipment used in 3D scanning technology is very diverse, and results are very different depending on which technology is used. Accordingly, there is a problem that it is difficult for a user who has no experience in 3D scanning technology to determine which technology and equipment should be used to obtain good results. In this study, 3D scan technologies mainly used at home and abroad are investigated, classified, and tested at actual construction sites to suggest considerations and suitable 3D scan methods when using 3D scans in construction sites. The test results were analyzed to evaluate the time it takes to scan, the final quality, and the user's convenience according to each technology method.

In this paper, we present the development of P-SURO II hybrid AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) which can be operated in both of AUV and ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) modes. In its AUV mode, the vehicle is supposed to carry out some of underwater missions which are difficult to be achieved in ROV mode due to the tether cable. To accomplish its missions such as inspection and maintenance of complex underwater structures in AUV mode, the vehicle is required to have high level of autonomy including environmental recognition, obstacle avoidance, autonomous navigation, and so on. In addition to its systematic development issues, some of algorithmic issues are also discussed in this paper. Various experimental studies are also presented to demonstrate these developed autonomy algorithms.

This paper describes a device platform which the blind can wear to keep path and to get surrounding information during their independent walking. Compared to the existing technologies, the proposed device could be used indoors and outdoors, and maps need not be provided in advance. It is composed of a glasses type device equipped with image sensors, and a portable device that analyzes sensor data for sighted guiding. RGB images and depth images are extracted to generate a walking map based on feature points. It also can cope with the risk of collision with bollard, color cone by applying vertical obstacle detection technology based on floor detection.

This paper introduces a new computational efficient Dilution of Precision (DOP)-based landmark exclusion method while ensuring the safety of the LiDAR-based navigation system that uses an innovation-based Nearest-Neighbor (NN) Data Association (DA) process. The NN DA process finds a correct landmark association hypothesis among all potential landmark permutations using Kalman filter innovation vectors. This makes the computational load increases exponentially as the number of landmarks increases. In this paper, we thus exclude landmarks by introducing DOP that quantifies the geometric distribution of landmarks as a way to minimize the loss of integrity performance that can occur by reducing landmarks. The number of landmarks to be excluded is set as the maximum number that can satisfy the integrity risk requirement. For the verification of the method, we developed a simulator that can analyze integrity risk according to the landmark number and its geometric distribution. Based on the simulation, we analyzed the relationship between DOP and integrity risk of the DA process by excluding each landmark. The results showed a tendency to minimize the loss of integrity performance when excluding landmarks with poor DOP. The developed method opens the possibility of assuring the safety risk of the Lidar-based navigation system in real-time applications by reducing a substantial amount of computational load.

Recently many studies of Radar systems mounted on ground vehicles for autonomous driving, SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping) and collision avoidance have been reported. Since several pixels per an object may be generated in a close-range radar application, a width of an object can be estimated automatically by various signal processing techniques. In this paper, we tried to attempt to develop an algorithm to estimate obstacle width using Radar images. The proposed method consists of 5 steps - 1) background clutter reduction, 2) local peak pixel detection, 3) region growing, 4) contour extraction and 5)width calculation. For the performance validation of our method, we performed the test width estimation using a real data of two cars acquired by commercial radar system - I200 manufactured by Navtech. As a result, we verified that the proposed method can estimate the widths of targets.
