With the growing traffic density and increasing comfort requirements, the automation of the drive train will gain importance in vehicles. The automatic clutch actuation relieves the drivers especially in urban driving and stop-and-go traffic conditions. This paper describes the dynamic modeling of a clutch actuator and clutch spring. The dynamic model of the clutch system is developed using MATLAB/Simulink, and evaluated by experimental data using a test rig. This performance simulator is useful to develop the clutch-by-wire (CBW) system for an automated manual transmission (AMT). The electro-mechanical type CBW system is also implemented as an automatic clutch for AMT. The prototype of CBW system is designed and implemented systematically, which is composed of an electric motor, worm gear and slider-crank mechanism. The test rig is developed to perform the basic function test of the automatic clutch, and the developed prototype is validated by the experimental data on the test rig.

본 논문은 AGV(autonomous guided vehicle)의 센서융합을 통한 위치측정(localization)과 라인 트레킹(line tracking) 방법인 AGV의 유도 시스템(guidance system)에 관한 연구이다. 기존에 AGV는 유도 되어진 선만을 주행 가능한 시스템이었고, 그러한 유도 시스템에 대표적인 방법으로는 자기-자이로 유도(magnet-gyro guidance) 방식과 유선 유도(wire guidance) 방식이 있었다. 하지만 이들은 설치 및 유지보수에 대한 비용이 높고, 작업 환경의 변화에 따른 시스템의 변경이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 레이저 내비게이션과 자이로, 엔코더를 함께 이용하여 외란에 강인하고 작업 환경 및 작업의 내용에 따른 주행 경로 변경이 유연한 위치측정 시스템을 구현하였다. 또한 유도선이 없는 레이저 내비게이션의 라인 트레킹을 위해서 프로그램 상에 가상의 유도선을 설정하고, 경유 노드를 생성하여 AGV와 노드 사이의 각도 차를 바탕으로 주행 제어기(driving controller)를 설계하였다. 실험은 직접 제작한 AGV를 이용하였으며, 동일한 작업공간에서 반복적으로 라인 트래킹 실험을 하였다. 실험 결과, 설정된 주행선의 경로와 실제 AGV 사이의 최대 오차가 49.93mm 이내였으며, 제안한 시스템이 AGV의 라인 트레킹에 효율적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In recent year, as the robot technology is developed, the researches on the artificial muscle actuator that enables robot to move dexterously like biological organ become active. Actuators are key technologies underpinning robotics. Breakthroughs in actuator technology, particular in terms of power-to-weight ratio, or energy-density, will have significant impacts upon the design and control of robotic system. In this paper, a new approach to design and control of shape memory alloy(SMA) actuator is presented to drive the robot hand. SMA wire is divided into many segments and their thermal states of the SMA are controlled individually in a binary manner. This control manner will reduce the hysteresis that the SMA material has and it becomes the fundamental technology to develop the anthropomorphic robot hand. In this paper, the mechanism In the digital step motor of the shape memory alloy that is driven by the segmented binary control, which is a new control technique, is studied. This SMA digital step actuator applies for the robot hand and the driving mechanism of the robot hand is investigated.

An abdominal brace is a recommended treatment for patients with lumbar spinal disorders. However, due to the nature of the static brace, it uniformly compresses the lumbar region, which can weaken the lumbar muscles or create a psychological dependence that worsens the condition of the spine when worn for an extended period of time. Due to these issues, doctors limit the wearing time when prescribing it to patients. In this paper, we propose a device that can dynamically provide abdominal pressure and support according to the lumbar motion. The proposed device is a wearable robot in the form of a brace, with actuators and a driving unit mounted on the brace. To enhance wearability and reduce the weight of the device, worm gears actuator and a multi-pulley mechanism were adopted. Based on the spinal motion of the wearer measured by the Inertia measurement unit sensors, the drives wire by driving pulley, which provide tension to the multi-pulley mechanism on both sides, dynamically tightening or loosening the device. Finally, the device can dynamically provide abdominal pressure and support. We describe the hardware and system configuration of the device and demonstrate its potential through basic control experiments.

본 논문에서는 서브 밀리미터 직경의 카테터 표면 위에 금속 마이크로 와이어를 접착하는 공정을 연구하였다. 최근 유연 전자 디바이스 분야는 유연한 평면 폴리머 기판과 그 기판 위의 마이크로 전극 공정이 계속해서 연구되고 있다. 하지만, 의료 분야에서는 카테터와 같이 곡면을 가진 기판이 중요하다. 특히 카테터 중에서도 여러 한계점을 가진 뇌혈관 수술을 개선하기 위한 서브 밀리미터의 직경을 가진 조향 가능한 카테터의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 카테터를 구현하기 위해 조향을 위한 엑추에이터들은 연구가 되고 있지만 이를 구동하기 위한 배선 연구는 진행된 바가 없다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 이러한 서브 밀리미터 카테터 위에 마이크로 금속 와이어를 접착하는 공정을 개발하였다. 적합한 지그를 설계함으로써 마이크로 와이어를 서브 밀리미터 직경의 카테터에 정렬한다. 그리고 자외선 경화 시스템과 상용품을 이용하여 공정 시간 및 공정 비용을 감소시켰다. 상용품으로 골드 마이크로 와이어, 자외선 경화 에폭시, 자외선 램프 그리고 서브 밀리미터 카테터를 이용하였다. 공정 후 카테터는 광학 현미경, 저항 측정기, 만능 시험기를 통해 분석하였다.

Accurate and quick positioning of the throttle valve in driving situation is required to implement the Traction Control System(TCS). Also, unlike a conventional throttle valve which is connected to the accelerator directly by a wire, an Electronic Throttle Valve(ETV) is driven by a DC motor and can move dependently upon the accurate position of the accelerator. In the research, the Electronic Throttle Body(ETB) and Controller for TCS application was developed. In order to drive the DC motor, the developed controller was built and interfaced to the ECU and ETB. The PID position control algorism and developed systems are designed to realize the robust tracking control of the ETV. Actual vehicle tests with these systems and PID position control algorithm. Finally, the performance of the proposed those are evaluated with the experimental studies.

This paper presents actuating characteristics of an asymmetric high-speed optical pick-up fine actuator that can be installed in a small area such as a notebook personal computer. In the asymmetric actuator four points (mass center, actuation center, supporting point of wire suspension on a bobbin, and optical axis) are not coincident so that the proposed actuator suspension reveals undesirable suspension resonance in the pitch and yaw direction. Lumped parameter dynamic model in each direction is used to investigate the driving characteristics with respect to relative location of the four points. Some of desired design directions toward reducing resonance peaks are suggested by using sensitivity information. In order to avoid undesirable resonance, at least supporting point on the obbin must be located in the middle of the mass and actuation center of the asymmetric pick-up actuator.

HILS(Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation) is a scheme that incorporates hardware components of primary concern in the numerical simulation environment. Due to its advantages over actual vehicle test and pure simulation, HILS is being widely accepted in automotive industries as test benches for vehicle control units. Developed in this study is a HILS system for EHB(Electro-Hydraulic Brake) systems that include a high pressure generator and a valve control system that independently modulates the brake pressures at four wheels. An EHB control logic was tested in the HILS system. Test results under various driving conditions are presented and compared with the VDC logic.

Most electronic chassis control systems until today have been designed with optimization on its own performance. Recently, however. importance of the global chassis control (GCC) concept that aims to achieve optimal performance on a global basis is more emphasized than ever, as the x-by-wire technology is rapidly progressing. In this research, a study has been done for developing a GCC logic for combining longitudinal, lateral, and vertical chassis control subsystems. A simulation has been performed to investigate interactions among the subsystems, and based upon the results, a GCC logic has been developed. The logic has been tested under various driving conditions. and the results have been compared with those from implementing subsystems without any GCC logic.

We design a new actuator for high density optical device in order to control the radial tilting motion. The newly designed actuator makes it possible to control the tilting motion actively, while the coventional actuator compress tilting motion with passive spring. First of all, We present 3-dimensional modeling of actuator and accomplish the modal analysis and magnetic analysis of actuator. Due to these results, a new designed actuator has performance of high sensitivity and high second resonance frequency. Secondly, We present the 3-DOF dynamic modeling of the 4-wire spring type actuator. sensitivity analysis is performed to consider the assembling error, such as the difference of mass center and force center. From these results, the sensitivities of rotation due to the assembly error are revealed and design criteria of rotation is presented. And experimental results of a newly designed actuator are presented and compared with theoretical results. Finally, We propose a dynamic tilt compensation and high acceleration actuator for high density optical storage devices.
