본 논문에서는 적으로부터 은밀히 아군에게 통신 신호를 전송하기 위해서 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) 기반 돌고래 휘슬음 모방 변조 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 돌고래 휘슬음을 여러 개의 OFDM 심볼과 대응되는 시간 슬롯들로 나눈 후, 매 슬롯에서 돌고래 휘슬음이 위치한 주파수 대역을 갖는 부반송파에 Differential Phase Shift Keying(DPSK) 심볼을 매핑하여 변조한다. 제안한 방법은 기존의 Chirp Spread Spectrum(CSS)와 Frequency Shift Keying(FSK) 기반의 돌고래 휘슬음 모방 변조 기법들에서 발생하는 주파수 윤곽의 불연속성을 줄일 수 있고, 변조 차수를 증가시켜도 모방 성능 열화량이 작다는 장점이 있다. 전산 모의실험을 통해 제안 방법의 Bit Error Rate(BER)과 모방 성능이 기존의 CSS와 FSK에 비해 우수함을 보였다.

In this paper, the fluid dynamic forces and performances of a moving airfoil in the low Reynolds number flow is addressed. In order to calculate the necessary propulsive force for the moving airfoil in a low Reynolds number flow, a lattice-Boltzmann method is used. The critical Reynolds and Strouhal numbers for the thrust generation are investigated for the four propulsion types. It was found that the Normal P&D type produces the largest thrust with highest efficiency among the investigated types. The leading edge of the airfoil has an effect of deciding the force production types, whereas the trailing edge of the airfoil plays an important role in augmenting or reducing the instability produced by the leading edge oscillation. It is believed that present results can be used to decide the optimal propulsion devices for the given Reynolds number flow.

This paper presents a new forward-viewing mono-camera based obstacle detection algorithm for mobile robots. The proposed method extracts the coarse location of an obstacle in an image using inverse perspective mapping technique from sequential images. In the next step, graph-cut based image labeling is conducted for estimating the exact obstacle boundary. The graph-cut based labeling algorithm labels the image pixels as either obstacle or floor as the final outcome. Experiments are performed to verify the obstacle detection performance of the developed algorithm in several examples, including a book, box, towel, and flower pot. The low illumination condition, low color contrast between floor and obstacle, and floor pattern cases are also tested.

This paper describes a study on posture control of the multi-legged biomimetic underwater robot (CALEB10). Because the underwater environment has a feature that all degrees of freedom are coupled to each other, we designed the posture control algorithm by separating each degree of freedom. Not only should the research on posture control of underwater robots be a precedent study for position control, but it is also necessary to compensate disturbance in each direction. In the research on the yaw directional posture control, we made the drag force generated by the stroke of the left leg and the right leg occur asymmetrically, in order that a rotational moment is generated along the yaw direction. In the composite swimming controller in which the controllers in each direction are combined, we designed the algorithm to determine the control weights in each direction according to the error angle along the yaw direction. The performance of the proposed posture control method is verified by a dynamical simulator and underwater experiments.

수중에서는 다중 경로로 인한 인접 심볼 간 간섭의 영향으로 통신 성능이 저하되며, 수동형 시역전 처리는 다중 경로를 완화하기 위한 가장 효율적인 기법이다. 수동형 시역전 처리의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 다이버시티 결합기법이 이용되고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 여러 각도로의 빔 조향을 통해 획득한 신호들을 결합하는 빔 다이버시티 결합기법을 이용하여 통신 성능을 분석하였다. 수직 선 배열 센서에 수신된 탐침 신호로부터 추정한 빔-시간 그래프를 통해 음파의 전달 각도들을 추정하였으며, 추정된 각도 중 결합 개수 및 방식에 따른 통신 성능을 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 2018년 10월 포항 동방 해역에서 수행된 Biomimetic Long range Acoustic Communications 2018(BLAC18) 실험 데이터를 활용하였으며, 통신 성능 지표로써 출력 신호 대 잡음비를 이용하였다.

For articulated swimming robots, there have been no researches about controlling the motion or trajectory following. A control method for articulated swimming robot is suggested by extending a previous algorithm, ESPG (Extended Swimming Pattern Generator). The control method focuses on the situation that continuous pre-determined swimming pattern is applied for long range travelling. In previous studies, there has not been a way to control the propulsive force when a swimming pattern created by ESPG was in progress. Hence, no control could be made unless the swimming pattern was completed even though an error occurred while the swimming pattern was in progress. In order to solve this problem, this study analyzes swimming patterns and suggests a method to control the propulsive force even while the swimming pattern was in progress. The angular velocity of each link is influenced and this eventually modifies the propulsive force. However, The angular velocity is changed, a number of problems can occur. In order to resolve this issue, phase compensation method and synchronization method were suggested. A simple controller was designed to confirm whether the suggested methods are able to control and a simulation has affirmed it. Moreover, it was applied to CALEB 10 (a biomimetic underwater articulated robot) and the result was verified.

Background: Ginsenosides are the characteristic and principal components which manifest a variety of the biological and pharmacological activities of the roots and rhizomes of Panax ginseng (GRR). This study was carried out to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the ginsenosides in the cultivated and forest GRR. Methods: A rapid and sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detector and quadrupole/time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS/MS) was applied to the qualitative analysis of ginsenosides and a 4000 QTRAP triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer (HPLC-ESI-MS) was applied to quantitative analysis of 19 ginsenosides. Results: In the qualitative analysis, all ingredients were separated in 10 min. A total of 131 ginsenosides were detected in cultivated and forest GRR. The method for the quantitative determination was validated for linearity, precision, and limits of detection and quantification. 19 representative ginsenosides were quantitated. The total content of all 19 ginsenosides in the forest GRR were much higher than those in the cultivated GRR, and were increased with the growing ages. Conclusion: This newly developed analysis method could be applied to the quality assessment of GRR as well as the distinction between cultivated and forest GRR.

Rodents, specially rats, can recognize distance and shape of an object and also pattern of the textures by using their whiskers. Mechanoreceptors surrounding the root of whisker in their follicle measure deflection of the whisker. Rats can move their whisker back and forth freely. This ability, called active whisking or active sensing, is one of characteristics of rat behaviours. Many researches based on the mechanism have been progressed. In this paper, we test a simple and accurate method based on deflection of the whisker: we designed biomimetic whiskers modeling after a structure of follicle using the microphone. The microphone sensor measures a mechanical vibration. Attaching an artificial whisker beam to the microphone membrane, we can detect a vibration of whisker and this can show the deflection amount of whisker indirectly.

Recent years have witnessed speed up of moving vehicles such as high-speed of trains. Increase in speed entails concomitant increase in turbulent air flow which contributes toward increased aerodynamic noise. The proposed method for aerodynamic noise reduction is based on a biomimetic design of owl feather. The five morphological parameters of the owl feather are extracted from close observation, and simulation cases are constructed by applying design of experiments methodology. Swirling strength for each case is obtained through steady-state CFD analysis, and key morphological parameters that affect the turbulence are identified. Large eddy simulations (LES) are then performed on selected cases to predict the air turbulence. Different cases show varying vortex distributions which are expected to lead to varying aerodynamic noise levels.

ZnO nanorod (NR) arrays prepared via simple ammonia hydrothermal method exhibiting superhydrophilicity, high transmittance and antireflection. These properties result from the unique surface structure and material property of ZnO NR arrays. Highly rough surface due to ZnO NRs enhanced hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of the films and short NRs (about 300 nm) made ZnO arrays transparent. ZnO NR films were chemically modified by dipping the sample into 5mM stearic acid/ethanol solution for 3 hours. Then the ZnO NRs became superhydrophobic surfaces, whose contact angle reached 159.2$^{\circ}$ maintaining their high transmittance. These biomimetic ZnO NR arrays can be used in diverse field, such as antifogging/self-cleaning surfaces and optical devices.
