This paper describes a design experience of a low-cost 6 DOF spatial tracker system where relative low accuracy and relatively long ranges, wireless communication will be achieved by means of low cost accelerometers and gyros with contemporary microprocessor. However, there are two key problems; one is the bias drift problem and the other is that single or double integration of acceleration signal suffers not only from noise but also from nonlinear effects caused by gravity. To be specific, beginning and stopping of hand motions needs to be accurately detected to initiate and terminate integration process to get position and pose of the hand from accelerometer and gyro signals, since errors due to noise and/or hand-shaking motions accumulated by integration processes. Several experimental results are shown to validate our proposed algorithms.

In order to develop a one-axis gimbaled acoustic source tracker for mobile robots, a pseudo-linear direction of arrival(DOA) estimator is proposed using a linear ultrasonic sensor array. Under the assumption that the sensor measurement errors are negligible, a linear measurement model is derived using the linear prediction relation of the received sinusoidal acoustic signals. Applying the Kalman filtering technique for this model, the linear recursive DOA estimator is designed. For its linear recursive filter structure, it is preferable for real-time implementation on a commercial DSP. Through the experiments, the effectiveness of the suggested method is demonstrated.

This paper considers new filter gains for the ${\alpha}\;-\;{\beta}$ tracker which is optimized particularly to minimize the tracking gate size. Optimizing the performance index which is composed of tracking errors due to target maneuver and measurement noise is not different from the existing method to obtain the ${\alpha}\;-\;{\beta}$ gains. However, holding the probability 0.997 that a target exists in the tracking gate and minimizing the gate size produce the new result not similar to the existing ${\alpha}\;-\;{\beta}$ gains.

The aim of this research is to evaluate movement and path characteristics of developed heavy duty handling robot using laser tracker(API T3) according to the ISO 9283 robot performance evaluation criteria. As carry out 3D modeling and simulation using CATIA, a test cube was set up to select moving and measuring range of robot. Performance test for pose and distance accuracy, path and path velocity accuracy under payload zero and 440kgf was accomplished. The resulted output data show the reliability of the developed robot.

In this paper, we propose a new method to deinterleave multi-stage stagger PRI signals of pulse radars using the electronic intelligence systems. While former algorithms were based on hardware PRI tracker only using the first deviation of the TOA of radar signals, this paper uses the first and the second deviation of TOA of radar signals and uses the PRI histogram method to deinterleave multiple PRIs of pulse radars. This algorithm can be used for deinterleaving various PRI signals at electronic intelligence systems.

The output of solar array is changed non-linearly by variation of insolation and temperature. Hence, as varying insolation and temperature, Maximum Power Point Tracking(WPPT) is necessary to increase generation efficiency of solar array. This paper presented WPPT algorithm using position control of output voltage and current of solar array and implemented hardware MPP tracker which is appropriate and inexpensive for low power system$(tens\~hundreds\;watt)$. Finally, those were verified through simulation.

A robust bending frequency tracker is proposed to design the adaptive notch filter which removes the time-varying missile structural modes from the sensor measurements. To do this, the state-space form of a bending frequency model is derived under the assumption that the bending signal could be described as the lightly damped sinusoid. Since the resultant bending frequency model contains the parametric uncertainties in the measurement matrix, the design problem of bending frequency tracker is tackled by applying the robust Kalman filter to the model. This technique could be easily expanded to the multiple frequencies case because it newly illuminates the bending frequency tracking problem in view of general state estimation.

In this paper, sun tracking system using Sun position sensor is proposed, the sun tracking system designed as which raises the efficiency of solar power generation. It design the structure being simple and it develops the system which is economical efficiency. It develops the hazard technique such as location tracking method of the sun which uses the sensor and to use the motor solar cell module movement. The Sun tracking system makes the drive in order to do with one axis and to use the sensor and to know in order to put out, the location of the sun and it makes. To make the solar location tracking sensor where the structure is simple it used two solar cells.

The energy of PV system is different as the elevation and aximuth of the sun. This paper deals with the economical position tracking system development for the stand alone PV system. We have made more economical solar position tracking system which is used a tracking program than other similar systems. It is applied to the solar lighting lamp. We have made a comparative study of the energy amount between the fixed type and the tracking type during some period. The improved efficiency of the system is about 86 %.

In this thesis, a video tracker with a TMS320C31 DSP is designed and implemented. It is intended to work with PC through PCI Bus and can be used in real-time applications. The DSP board is capable of grabbing image data from camera, and calculating the position of a target, and tracking its movement. The tracking situation can be displayed in a PC monitor and displacement of the movement is fed back to pan and tilt the camera. Experimental results show that the tracker implemented here works well in real applications.
