High-capacity video, control and situation awareness data should be transmitted efficiently to control robots properly in the ground unmanned system, which requires the technology maximizing the communication range and the data transmission throughput. This technology is connected to the OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)-MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) transmission technology under the limited bandwidth and transmission power. In this paper, we design MIMO communication system for ground unmanned systems, and investigate the data reception performance experimentally, comparing with SISO(Single Input Single Output) system. Experiment results show that the data reception performance of MIMO is significantly improved compared to that of SISO, e.g. 4dB gain of sensitivity and 5dB of SNR at the value MPR = 1, for the mobile stations with $2{\times}2$ STBC diversity.

In this paper, we proposed a hybrid type robot that simultaneously surveillance and reconnaissance on the ground and in the air. It was possible to expand the surveillance and reconnaissance range by expanding the surveillance and reconnaissance area of the ground robot and quickly moving to the hidden area through the drone. First, ground robots go to mission areas through drones and perform surveillance and reconnaissance missions for urban warfare or mountainous areas. Second, drones move ground robots quickly. It transmits surveillance and reconnaissance images of ground robots to the control system and performs reconnaissance missions at the same time. Finally, in order to secure the interoperability of these hybrid robots, basic performance and environmental performance were verified. The evaluation method was tested and verified based on the KS standards.

In recent years, a number of missions have been planned and conducted worldwide on the planets such as Mars, which involves the unmanned robotic exploration with the use of rover. The rover is an important system for unmanned planetary exploration, performing the locomotion and sample collection and analysis at the exploration target of the planetary surface designated by the operator. This study investigates the development of mobility system for the rover ground model necessary to the planetary surface exploration for the benefit of future planetary exploration mission in Korea. First, the requirements for the rover mobility system are summarized and a new mechanism is proposed for a stable performance on rough terrain which consists of the passive suspension system with 8 wheeled double 4-bar linkage (DFBL), followed by the performance evaluation for the mechanism of the mobility system based on the shape design and simulation. The proposed mobility system DFBL was compared with the Rocker-Bogie suspension system of US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration and 8 wheeled mobility system CRAB8 developed in Switzerland, using the simulation to demonstrate the superiority with respect to the stability of locomotion. On the basis of the simulation results, a general system configuration was proposed and designed for the rover manufacture.

무인 항공기는 다양한 분야에서 널리 활용되고 있으며, 실시간 경로 재계획은 이들 기기의 안전성과 효율성을 향상하는 핵심 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 RRT*와 LOSPO를 기반으로 한 실시간 경로 재계획 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 먼저 RRT* 알고리즘을 활용하여 초기 경로를 생성하고, LOSPO를 이용하여 경로를 최적화한다. 또한 최적화된 경로를 궤적으로 변경하여 실제 시간과 항공기의 동적한계를 고려할 수 있다. 이 과정에서 환경 변화와 충돌 위험을 실시간으로 감지하고, 필요한 경우 경로를 재계획함으로써 안전한 운행을 유지한다. 이 방법은 시뮬레이션을 통한 실험을 통해 검증되었다. 본 논문의 결과는 무인 항공기의 실시간 경로 재계획에 관한 연구에 중요한 기여할 것으로 기대한다. 또한 이 기법을 다양한 상황에 적용함으로써 무인 항공기의 안전성과 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있다.

무선 멀티 홉 통신은 지상 무인로봇체계 네트워크를 효율적으로 운용하기 위해 필수적인 기술이다. MANET과 같은 멀티 홉 네트워크를 위해서 기존에 많은 라우팅 프로토콜들이 연구 개발되어왔다. 하지만, 아직 지상 무인로봇체계와 같이 특수한 환경에 적합한 라우팅 프로토콜에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 지상 무인로봇체계 시스템의 주요 기능 중 하나인 멀티 홉 통신을 지원하기 위한 매개 중심도를 기반으로 한 위치기반 라우팅(BCGR)을 제안한다. BCGR은 확장 자아 매개 중심도와 노드의 이동성, 위치 정보의 오차를 활용하는 라우팅 기법이다. BCGR의 성능을 검증하기 위해 ns-3 시뮬레이션을 활용한 실험을 수행하였고, 그 결과 AODV, GPSR과 같은 기존 라우팅 기법보다 신뢰성, 처리량, 지연 시간의 측면에서 더 좋은 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

Traffic and emergency monitoring systems are essential constituents of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies, but the lack of traffic monitoring has become a primary weakness in providing prompt emergency services. Demonstrated in numerous military applications, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have great potentials as a part of ITS infrastructure for providing quick and real-time aerial video images of large surface area to the ground. Despite of obvious advantages of UAVs for traffic monitoring and many other civil applications, it is rare to encounter success stories of UAVs in civil application including transportation. The objective of this paper is to report the outcomes of research supported by the state agency in US to investigate the feasibility of integrating UAVs into urban highway traffic monitoring as a part of ITS infrastructure. These include current technical and regulatory issues, and possible suggestions for a future UAV system in civil applications.

As demands for high speed sea transportations have recently been increased, various high speed ships appear. Among them the WIG is believed to be one of the next generation of the sea transportation system. Test flight of the 20 seaters WIG craft, Haenarae-X1, developed by MOERI was a success in August, 2007. Development of the large WIG is now ongoing, and it is expected to be commercialized in the near future. In this study we designed a remote controled WIG Craft and carried out its performance test in order to establish engineering design procedures of an Unmanned WIG (U-WIG) craft.

The amphibian breeding habitat is confirmed by mating call. In some cases, the researcher directly identifies the amphibian individual, but in order to designate the habitat, it is necessary to map the mating call region of the amphibian population. Until now, it has been a popular methodology for researchers to hear mating calls and outline their breeding habitats. To improve this subjective methodology, we developed a technique for mapping mating call regions using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The technology uses a UAV, fitted with a sound recorder to record ground mating calls as it flies over an amphibian habitat. The core technology is to synchronize the recorded sound pressure with the flight log of the UAV and predict the sound pressure in a two-dimensional plane with probability density. For a demonstration study of this technology, artificial mating call was generated by a potable speaker on the ground and recorded by a UAV. Then, the recorded sound data was processed with an algorithm developed by us to map mating calls. As a result of the study, the correlation coefficient between the artificial mating call on the ground and the mating call map measured by the UAV was R=0.77. This correlation coefficient proves that our UAV recording system is sufficiently capable of detecting amphibian mating call regions.
