The development of a teleoperated mobile robot, Kaerot/m2, has been described. Kaerot/m2 consists of three subsystems - a 4 wheeled mechanism with the dual reconfigurable crawler arms, a thermal image monitoring system , and an extendable long reach mast. The mechanical design, control system of Kaerot/m2 in terms of remote inspection operation at a high radiation level of the Calandria face environment has been shown. Kaerot/m2 is capable of detecting the degraded locations of the Calandria face in a remote manner.

This paper introduces an integrated Modeling & Simulation framework for the efficient development of the rescue robot which rescues a wounded patients or soldiers and disposes a dangerous objects or explosive materials in the battlefields and disastrous environments. An integrated M&S(Modeling & Simulation) framework would have enabled us to perform the dynamic simulation program GAZEBO based Software-in-the-Loop Simulation(SILS) which is to replacing the robot platform hardware with a simulation software. An integrated M&S framework would help us to perform designing robot and performance validation of robot control results more efficiently. Furthermore, Tele-operation performance in the unstructured environments could be improved. We review a case study of applying an integrated M&S framework tool in validating performance of mobility stabilization control, one of the most important control strategy in the rescue robot.

Teleoperation is defined with a master device that gives control command and a slave robot in a remote site. In this field, it is common that a human operator executes and experiences teleoperation with a virtual slave, and preliminary learns dynamic characteristic and network environment from both agents. Generally, a virtual slave has neglected forward dynamics and its kinematic model has been implemented in computer graphics. This makes a operator to experience actual feelings. This paper proposes a dynamic teleoperation model in which a robotic forward model is applied. Also, a novel compensation method is proposed to reduce the numerical error problems in forward dynamics caused by low control sampling rate. Finally, its results will be compared to the teleoperation in an actual environment.

Unmanned military vehicles (UMVs) will be increasingly applied to the various military operations. These UMVs are most commonly characterized as dealing with "4D" task - dull, dirty, dangerous and difficult with automations. Although most of the UMVs are designed to a high degree of autonomy, the human operator will still intervene in the robots operation, and tele-operate them to achieve his or her mission. Thus, operator capacity, along with robot autonomy and user interface, is one of the important design factors in the research and development of the UMVs. In this paper, we propose the method to assess the operator capacity of the UMVs. The method is comprised of the 6 steps (problem, assumption, goal function identification, operator task analysis, task modeling & simulation, results and assessment), and herein colored Petri-nets are used for the modeling and simulation. Further, an illustrative example is described at the end of this paper.

본 논문에서는 인터넷의 기능을 이용하여 인터넷이 연결된 어느 장소에서라도 로봇을 원격으로 제어하거나 로봇으로부터 받은 정보를 인터넷으로 전송 받아 처리할 수 있는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 빠른 영상정보 전송을 위해 JPEG 압축 기술을 이용하였다. 인터넷을 통한 원격 제어에서의 가장 큰 문제점은 전송 지연 또는 데이터 손실과 같은 통신 장애이다. 이러한 상황에서도 로봇이 스스로 자신을 보호하고 원하는 작업을 수행하도록 하기 위해 자율이동 기능이 필수적인데, 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 2-layer fuzzy controller를 이용하였다. 2-layer fuzzy controller를 이용하여 로봇은 장애물을 회피하면서 원활하게 이동할 수 있다. 마지막으로 실제 구현 및 실험을 통해 그 효율성을 평가한다.

본 논문은 네트워크를 통해서 이동로봇을 원격제어하기 위해 필요한 비전 시스템에서 HMD(Head Mounted Display)의 방향각 측정 알고리즘에 관한 연구이다. 우선 이 이동로봇 원격제어 시스템은 AP와 무선랜을 이용하여 독립 무선 네트워크를 구축하였고 이동로봇의 주변 환경을 레이저 센서와 스테레오 카메라를 이용하여 사용자에게 정보를 전송한다. 스테레오 카메라를 통해 전송된 영상 정보는 HMD를 통하여 볼 수 있다. 실시간으로 영상 카메라에 의해 측정 된 HMD의 회전 각도는 pen-tilt에 전송되어 HMD가 회전한 만큼 pen-tilt도 회전하여 이동로봇의 주변 환경 영상정보를 얻을 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

This paper presents design and integration of the ROBHAZ-DT3, which is a newly developed mobile robot system with chained double-track mechanisms. A passive adaptation mechanism equipped between the front and rear body enables the ROBHAZ-DT3 to have good adaptability to uneven terrains including stairs. The passive adaptation mechanism reduces energy consumption when moving on uneven terrain as well as its simplicity in design and remote control, since no actuator is necessary for adaptation. Based on this novel mobile platform, a rescue version of the ROBHAZ-DT3 with appropriate sensors and a semi-autonomous mapping and localization algorithm is developed to participate in the RoboCup2004 US-Open: Urban Search and Rescue Competition. From the various experiments in the realistic rescue arena, we can verify that the ROBHAZ-DT3 is reliable in traveling rugged terrain and the proposed mapping and localization algorithm are effective in the unstructured environment with uneven ground. The another application is an military robot for an EOD(Explosive Ordnance Disposal) and reconnaissance mission. The military version of the ROBHAZ-DT3 with a water disrupter, a thermal scope and a long distance wireless communication device is developed and sent to the area of military tactics in Iraq. Consequently, the feasibility of the military version of ROBHAZ-DT3 is verified.

This paper has developed the computer integration manufacturing system and Internet based tele-operations. The functions of CIMS include production planing, material requirement planning, work order generation, process control, quality control, shipping planning, warehouse and inventory management and material cost accounting.[1] In this paper focuses on the automatic warehouse control and inventory management by developing the information system as well as the Internet-based integration. The system overview is divided into three parts, the mechanical system, the computer and developed software to control and manage the information and the communication system. The mechanical system consists of the warehouse machine and forklift mobile robot controlled by programmable logic controller (PLC). The computer works on many functions such as control station interfaces with PLC, managing database and inventory, and Internet server to broadcast the inventory database to users via World Wide Web and monitoring the operation on web camera. Our scheme the inventory database can be checked easily anywhere and anytime when the users connect to the Internet. In this article, the lead-time and inventory level can be reduced therefore the holding cost and operating time is also decreased.
