For automatic landing of small VTOL UAV, it is necessary to calculate the distance from the UAV and the ground. The distance can be generally measured by a ultra-sonic sensor, but the ultra-sonic sensor has errors according to velocity of a sensor board. To compensate these errors, we proposed a sensor fusion method using a Kalman filter.

로봇이 미지의 환경에서 주위의 정보를 추출하여 인식하기 위해 비젼 센서, 적외선 센서, 초음파 센서 등을 이용해 주변 정보를 얻는다. 그 중 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 비젼 센서는 빛에 대한 간섭에 민감하여 어두운 곳이나 밝은 곳에서는 데이터 추출이 어려우며, 표시 된 마크나 직선 성분 및 곡선의 이미지를 통해 데이터를 추출함에 있어 많은 계산을 요구한다.반면 초음파 센서는 비젼 시스템의 단점을 극복하고 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 센서이다. 특히 어두운 곳의 물체 정보 및 거리 정보를 얻을 수 있고 비젼 시스템보다 사용하기 간단하다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 빔의 왜곡 및 산란의 특성을 고려하여 부정확 정보에 대한 오차를 줄여 환경 인식, 경로 계획 및 자율 주행의 극대화를 시키기 위한 알고리즘을 연구 및 개발한다. 그리고 알고리즘을 실제 이동 로봇에 적용하여 경로 계획 및 환경 인식이 가능한 시스템을 구현한다.

AGV for FMS must be detected an obstacle. Therefore, many studies have been advanced, and recently, the ultra sonic sensor is used for this. However, the new method has to be developed because the ultra-sonic-sensor has many problems as a noise in factory, an directional error and detection of the obstacle size. So, we study the fast stereo vision system that can give more information to obstacles for intelligent AGV system. For this, the simulated AGV system was made with two CCD cameras in front to get the stereo images, and the threshold process by color information (intensity and chromaticity) and structure stereo matching method were constructed.

This study proposes the method to make a map of moving environment area and passed area by sensor using for recognizing environment or avoiding obstacle. We win develop an efficient algorithm to use sensors and get the data by the user friendly system. Through this system, we win study the way to know of the driving environment of moving robot on the long distance point. To this, we use only one ultra-sonic sensor with a servo motor which rotates 180 degree and loads an ultra-sonic sensor. A sensor can measure 1m${\sim}$8m range and a servo motor can distinguish 15 degree by 12 divide of 180 degree. By this feature of operating system, the robot which has these sensor module detects around of area and moves another point. In this way, users gather the data of detecting distance and change the data to X-Y coordinates. And users derive a map from these accumulate data.

In this paper we use wireless sensor network and ultrasonic sensors to estimate local position of mobile robots, and to navigate it. Ultra sonic sensor is simple and accurate so it is good to use in local estimation and navigation of mobile robots. But to obtain accurate distance of two sensors they need to face each others as possible as they can. To solve this problem we rotate ultra sonic sensor which is attached to robot in 360 degrees and obtain accurate distance. We can estimate precise position of mobile robot by triangulation using obtained distance information. A mobile robot navigates using embedded encoder and compensates its coordinates by ultrasonic sensors. Results of Experiments show proposed method obtains accurate distance between sensors and coordinates of position of robot. And mobile robots can navigate designated path well.

The mine-detection system, which is one of the various mission equipments for Ground Vehicle System, detects mine under the ground. The mine detection sensors comprised of Metal Detection(MD) sensor and Ground Penetration Radar(GPR) are attached on the end of the multi-DOF manipulator. The manipulator moves the sensor to sweep mine areas keeping the pre-determined distance between the sensor and ground to enhance mine detection performance. The detection system can be operated automatically, semi-automatically and manually. When the detection system is operated automatically, the sensor should avoid collisions with unexpected obstacles which may exist on the ground. Two types of ultra-sonic sensors were developed for the mine detection sensor system to keep the appropriate gap between sensor and the ground to avoid the obstacles. Also, mine place marking device was developed.

It is well known that a discharge in oil is the source of various physical and chemical phenomena. One of them is ultra-sonic wave, and its detection is a useful method to the diagnosis of the transformer insulation condition. Conventionally, ultra-sonic waves are detected by Piezo-electric trans-ducer(PZT), and we use optical method that has many advantages. In this paper, we constructed a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with optical fiber and investigated the principle of operation. Test of the ultrasonic-detecting ability was performed for both of PZT and fiber-optic sensor. Discharge test arrangement is based on the needle-plane electrode system in oil and applied AC high voltage. Ultrasonic waves were detected and showed time-delay characteristics. We analyzed the data with frequency domain and wavelet transform.

In this paper, we implemented the object scanning with nxtOSEK which is an open source platform. nxtOSEK consists of device driver of leJOS NXJ C/Assembly source code, TOPPERS/ATK(Automotive real time Kernel) and TOPPERS/JSP Real-Time Operating System source code that includes ARM7 specific porting part, and glue code make them work together. nxtOSEK can provide ANSI C by using GCC tool chain and C API and apply for real-time multi tasking features. We experimented the 3D scanning with ultra sonic and laser sensor which are made directly by laser module diode and experimented the measurement of scanning the object by knowing x, y, and z coordinates for every points that it scans. In this paper, the laser module is the dimension of $6{\times}10[mm]$ requiring 5volts/5[mW], and used the laser light of wavelength in the 650[nm] range. For detecting the object, we used the beacon detection algorithm and as the laser light swept the objects, the photodiode monitored the ambient light at interval of 10[ms] which is called a real time. We communicated the 3D scanning platform via bluetooth protocol with host platform and the results are displayed via DPlot graphic tool. And therefore we enhanced the functionality of the 3D scanner for identifying the image scanning with laser sensor modules compared to ultra sonic sensor.

This paper present a sensor based obstacle avoidance method which is based on a VFH(Vector Field Histogram) method. The basic idea of obstacle avoidance is to find a minimum obstacle direction and distance. From the minimum sonar index and the target direction high level system determine steering angle of mobile robot. The sonar sensor system consists of 12 ultra sonic sensor, and each sensor have its direction and safety value. This method has advantage on calculation speed and small memory. This method is implemented on indoor autonomous vehicle'ALiVE-2'.

가사도우미 로봇과 같은 서비스 로봇은 가사구성물이 내제된 가정 내 가사 구성물 환경을 인식해야한다. 기존에는 홈서비스 로봇 등은 CCD, 초음파 등의 센서로 가정 내 구성물 및 실내 지형을 인식하였다. 실내지형 지도를 작성 할 경우 가사 구성물에는 헝겊 등이 있는바, 음파 등을 흡수하여 정확한 지형 지도가 만들어지지 못한다. 또한 CCD 카메라를 쓸 경우 pixel에 따라 거리 측정 정도가 달라지는 문제가 발생하고 가격이 고가이다. 본 논문은 이동로봇을 위한 위치 및 물체인식용 지능형 센서 제어 시스템에 대해 기술한다. 개발된 센서제어시스템은 저가의 광 PSD(Position sensitive detector)를 사용하였다. PSD센서의 스위칭 노이즈 및 광 산란에 의한 잡음을 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 로봇의 주행 중 센서 스캔 시 간 등을 고려하여 heuristic software filter를 제안하였다. 또한 개발된 시스템은 초음파 센서에 의한 지형작성 비교와 본 논문에서 개발한 시스템을 비교하였으며, 복잡한 실내지 형을 대상으로 실험 지형지도 작성 실험을 통해 우수성을 입증하였다.
