Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits sophisticated chemotaxis behavior through two parallel strategies, klinokinesis and klinotaxis, executed entirely by a small nervous circuit. It is therefore suitable for inspiring fast and energy-efficient solutions for autonomous navigation. As a random search strategy, the Lévy walk is optimal for diverse animals when foraging without external chemical cues. In this study, by combining these biological strategies for the first time, we propose a spiking neural network model for search and contour tracking of specific concentrations of environmental variables. Specifically, we first design a klinotaxis module using spiking neurons. This module works in conjunction with a klinokinesis module, allowing rapid searches for the concentration setpoint and subsequent contour tracking with small deviations. Second, we build a random exploration module. It generates a Lévy walk in the absence of concentration gradients, increasing the chance of encountering gradients. Third, considering local extrema traps, we develop a termination module combined with an escape module to initiate or terminate the escape in a timely manner. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model integrating these modules can switch strategies autonomously according to the information from a single sensor and control steering through output spikes, enabling the model worm to efficiently navigate across various scenarios.

현재 대한민국에는 동록 되지 않은 시각장애인을 포함하여 20~30만 명의 시각장애인이 있다. 시각 장애인들은 보행을 할 때 주로 흰 지팡이(White Stick)를 사용하고 있다. 안내견의 도움을 받는 시각 장애인도 있지만 비용문제 등 여러 복합적인 문제로 인해 소수의 시각장애인만이 이용하고 있다. 현재 상용되어지고 있는 시각장애인을 위한 길 안내 서비스 보조기구는 시각장애인들이 사용하고 있는 흰 지팡이에 RFID태그를 부착하고, 이를 이용하여 표지블록과 RF통신을 하는 정도의 수준에 머무르고 있다. 이는 인식거리가 짧고, 명확한 장애물의 위치, 크기 및 형태를 판단하기 힘들기 때문에 실제 시각장애인들의 보행에 큰 도움이 되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 시각장애인들이 좀 더 수월하게 보행 할 수 있도록 Cortex-A8 Platform기반의 'Smart Portable Navigation System'개발에 대한 연구를 다루고자 한다.

일반적으로 네비게이션은 차를 이용하는 것으로 발전한 것이 대부분이며, 지형이나 지도 또는 정보를 저장했다가 사용하는 로드뷰를 이용하여 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 증강현실 기술과, 스마트폰의 카메라, 센서 등을 이용하여 실제의 길과 주변 환경을 스마트폰에 보여주고, 실제 길 위에 찾고자 하는 목적지까지 길을 안내해주며 다양한 부가 정보를 제공하는 도보 길찾기 앱을 개발하고자 한다. 기존의 앱과 다른 점은 증강현실 기술을 활용하는 것이다. 기존 네이게이션에서 2D나 3D로 그래픽 처리되어 있는 것을 실제 화면을 적용하여 직관적으로 길을 찾을 수 있고, 부가적으로 주변의 정보들을 실시간으로 표현할 수 있는 이점이 있다.

This paper describes a DR construction for land navigation and the sigma point based receding horizon Kalman FIR (SPRHKF) filter for DR/GPS hybrid navigation system. A simple DR construction is adopted to improve the performance both of the pure land DR navigation and the DR/GSP hybrid navigation system. In order to overcome the flaws of the EKF, the SPKF is merged with the receding horizon strategy. This filter has several advantages over the EKF, the SPKF, and the RHKF filter. The advantages include the robustness to the system model uncertainty, the initial estimation error, temporary unknown bias, and etc. The computational burden is reduced. Especially, the proposed filter works well even in the case of exiting the unmodeled random walk of the inertial sensors, which can be occurred in the MEMS inertial sensors by temperature variation. Therefore, the SPRHKF filter can provide the navigation information with good quality in the DR/GPS hybrid navigation system for land navigation seamlessly.

In this paper, the system model for the compensation of the low-cost personal navigation system is derived and the error compensation method using GPS is also proposed. WNS(Walking Navigation System) is a kind of personal navigation system using the number of a walk, stride and azimuth. Because the accuracy of these variables determines the navigation performance, computational methods have been investigated. The step is detected using the walking patterns, stride is determined by neural network and azimuth is calculated with gyro output. The neural network filters off unnecessary motions. However, the error compensation method is needed, because the error of navigation information increases with time. In this paper, the accumulated error due to the step detection error, stride error and gyro bias is compensated by the integrating with GPS. Loosely coupled Kalman filter is used for the integration of WNS and GPS. It is shown by simulation that the error is bounded even though GPS signal is blocked.

In existing factory, robot has less necessity that consider person. However, person should be considered at design and use of service robot. To service robot can be used in everyday life along with this, more functions are required. Specially, medical service robot needs function that is intelligence function. Especially, to help patient brain disease patient (cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, imbecility), gait assistance Mobile robot consider ergonomic element necessarily. In order to develop the medical support service robot, the ergonomic design should be considered. This robot ergonomic design parameters are treated in ("evelopment of Medical Support Service Robot Using Ergonomic Design" 2003, ICASS) Fig2 show this Robot. In this study, navigation algorithm of walk assistance robot is analyzed in ergonomic view. Navigation algorithm of Mobile robot can divide by two patterns. Traditional derivative method has shortcoming in dynamic environment. Reactive method is result that react excellently in dynamic environment. However, number of behavior function is limited. So hybrid navigation algorithm was proposed by the alternative way. We consider enough user specificity at navigation algorithm application of gait assistance robot.
