본 논문에서는 Inertial Navigation System (INS)와 Ultrasonic-SATellite (U-SAT)의 센서융합을 기반으로 100mm 이하의 정밀위치측정 시스템을 보여준다. INS는 자이로와 두 개의 엔코더로 구성되고, U-SAT는 네 개의 송신기와 한 개의 수신기로 구성하였다. 구성된 센서들은 정밀한 정밀위치측정을 위하여 Extended Kalman Filler (EKF)를 통해 센서들을 융합하였다. 위치측정의 성능을 증명하기 위해 본 논문에서는 로봇이 0.5 m/s의 속도로 주행한 실제 데이터(직진, 곡선)와 시뮬레이션을 통한 실험을 하였으며, 실험에 사용된 위치측정방법은 일반적인 센서융합과 INS 데이터만을 칼만 필터에 이용한 센서융합을 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실제 데이터를 통해 실험한 결과, INS 데이터만을 칼만 필터에 이용한 센서융합이 더 정밀함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Industrial and economical importance of CP(Cellular Phone) is growing rapidly. Combined with IT technology, CP is one of the most attractive technologies of today. However, unless we find a new breakthrough in the technology, its growth may slow down soon. RT(Robot Technology) is considered one of the most promising next generation technologies. Unlike the industrial robot of the past, today's robots require advanced features, such as soft computing, human-friendly interface, interaction technique, speech recognition object recognition, among many others. In this paper, we present a new technological concept named RCP (Robotic Cellular Phone) which integrates RT and CP in the vision of opening a combined advancement of CP, IT, and RT, RCP consists of 3 sub-modules. They are $RCP^{Mobility}$(RCP Mobility System), $RCP^{Interaction}$, and $RCP^{Integration}$. The main focus of this paper is on $RCP^{Mobility}$ which combines an autonomous navigation system of the RT mobility with CP. Through $RCP^{Mobility}$, we are able to provide CP with robotic functions such as auto-charging and real-world robotic entertainment. Ultimately, CP may become a robotic pet to the human beings. $RCP^{Mobility}$ consists of various controllers. Two of the main controllers are trajectory controller and self-localization controller. While the former is responsible for the wheel-based navigation of RCP, the latter provides localization information of the moving RCP With the coordinates acquired from RFID-based self-localization controller, trajectory controller refines RCP's movement to achieve better navigation. In this paper, a prototype of $RCP^{Mobility}$ is presented. We describe overall structure of the system and provide experimental results on the RCP navigation.
