This paper introduces an ARV(Autonomous Road Vehicle) system which can run on orads without help of a driver by detecting road boundaries through computer vision. This vehicle can also detect obstacles in front through sonar sensors and infrared sensors. This system largely consists of a handle steering module and a braking module. From road boundaries, the steering module determines handle turn angle. The braking module stops or decelerates to avoid collision depending on the relative speeds and distance to the obstacles detected by different sensors. This ARV system has been implemented in a small jeep and can run 30-40 km/h city traffic. In this paper, we illustrate the structure of the ARV systems and its operation principle.

기존 실내복도 환경에서 실험한 자율주행 드론[1]은 드론의 연산성능 한계로 인해 노트북이 신경망 연산을 해서 드론에게 조향명령을 내리는 방식이였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 NVIDIA사의 Jetson TX2 보드를 활용하여 실내복도 환경에서의 자율주행을 연구하였다.

본 연구는 자동차 조향제어 시스템에 적용 가능한 CNN(Convolutional Neural Network)을 설계하고자 한다. CNN은 현재 많은 분야에서 폭넓게 사용되고 있으며, 특히 영상 분류(image classification) 작업에 있어 매우 뛰어난 성능을 나타내고 있다. 그러나 이러한 CNN이 함수를 근사하는 회귀(regression) 문제에서는 많이 적용되지 못하고 있다. 이는 CNN의 입력으로 이미지 데이터와 같은 다차원적인 데이터 구조로 되어 있어 일반적인 제어 시스템의 적용이 쉽지 않기 때문이다. 최근 들어 자율주행차에 관해 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 자율주행차를 구현하기 위해 많은 기술이 요구된다. 이를 위해 차량에 장착된 블랙박스의 영상 이미지를 사용하여 차선을 검출하고 검출된 차선에 따라 소실점 등을 검출하여 자율주행차를 제어하는 연구가 많이 진행되었다. 그러나 소실점 검출에 있어 영상 이미지의 외부 환경, 순간적인 차선의 소실 그리고 반대편 차선의 검출 등 여러 요인으로 인하여 안정적인 소실점 검출에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동차에서 촬영된 블랙박스 영상 이미지를 입력받아 자율주행차의 조향제어를 위해 CNN을 적용해 보고자 한다.

Since the application of chemicals in confined spaces under the canopy of an orchard is hazardous work, it is needed to develop an autonomous guidance system for an orchard sprayer. The autonomous guidance system developed in this research could steer the vehicle by tracking an overhead guidance rail, which was installed on an existing frame structure. The autonomous guidance system consisted of an 80196 kc microprocessor, an inclinometer, two interface circuits of actuators for steering and ground speed control, and a fuzzy control algorithm. In addition, overhead guidance rails for both straight and curved paths were devised, and a trolley was designed to move smoothly along the overhead guidance rails. Evaluation tests showed that the experimental vehicle could travel along the desired path at a ground speed of 30 $\sim$ 50 cm/s with a RMS error of 5 cm and maximum deviation of less than 12 cm. Even when the vehicle started with an initial offset or a deflected heading angle, it could move quickly to track the desired path after traveling 2 $\sim$ 3 m. The vehicle could also complete turns with a curvature of 1 m. However, at a ground speed of 50 cm/s, the vehicle tended to over-steer, resulting in a zigzag motion along the straight path, and tended to turn outward from the projected line of the guidance rail.

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'.

전 세계적으로 차량의 급속한 증가로 인해 지능형 교통시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 그중 차량의 자율주행에 관한 연구가 한 분야를 차지한다. 그리고 차량의 자율주행은 경로인식이 기본적인 요소이다. 기존의 자계기반 자율주행 시스템은 3축 자계 센서로 자석마커의 3차원의 데이터를 분석하여 경로를 인식하였다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 Magnetic Wire와 자기거리계를 이용하여 측면 이탈거리를 계측하여 주행하는 시스템을 제안한다. 그리고 기존 자율주행 차량의 시스템과 비교하고 제안하는 시스템이 저사양의 하드웨어와 간단한 알고리즘으로 자율주행이 가능함을 실험을 통해 검증하고자 한다.

The objective of this study is to develop a method that is able to realize autonomous traveling for tractor-like robot on the slope terrain. A neural network (NN) and genetic algorithms (GAs) have been used for resolving nonlinear problems in this system. The NN is applied to create a vehicle simulator that is capable to describe the motion of the tractor robot on the slope, while it is impossible by the common dynamics way. Using this vehicle simulator, a control law optimized by GAs was established and installed in the computer to control the steering wheel of tractor robot. The autonomous traveling carried out on a 14-degree slope had initial successful results.

This paper describes a recognition method of a road direction for an autonomous vehicle based on magnetic sensors. Using the sensors mounted on a vehicle and the magnetic markers embedded along the center of road, the autonomous vehicle can recognize a road direction and control a steering angle. Using the front lateral deviation of a vehicle and the rear one, the road direction is calculated. The analysis of magnetic field, the acquisition technique of training data, the training method of neural network and the computer simulation are presented. According to the computer simulation, the proposed method is simulated, and its performance is verified. Also, the experimental test is confirmed its reliability.

This paper proposes a steering control algorithm for non-holonomic mobile robots. The steering control algorithm is essential to navigate autonomous vehicles which employ comination of the dead reckoning and absolute sensor system such as a machine vison for detecting landmarks in order to estimate the current location of the mobile robot. The proposed algorithm is based on the minimum time BANG-BANG controller and curvature-continuity curve design method. In the BANG-BANG control scheme we introduce velocity/acceleration limiter to avoid any slippage of driving wheels. The proposed scheme is robot-independent and hence can be applied to various kinds of mobile robot or vehicles. To show the effectness of the proposed control algorithm, a series of computer simulations were conducted for two-wheel driven mobile robot.
