BIRDI(Bridge Inspection Robot Development Inter)ace)에서 현재 개발된 첨단굴절로봇차는 기존의 굴절차에 비해 소형이며, 12m에 이르는 작업붐으로 인해 교량의 진동, 풍하중 등에 의해 쉽게 진동이 발생할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 첨단굴절로봇차의 머신비전 시스템을 통한 점검 성능 확보를 위해 작업붐에 엑츄에이터를 장착하여 유해 진동을 제어할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였으며, 성능 평가를 위해 수치적, 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 제안된 제어시스템의 수치적 연구를 위해 현재 제작된 작업붐의 제원을 이용하여 모델링하였고, 적당한 주파수 특성을 가진 하중을 가정하였으며, 최적 제어이론인 LQ 조정기를 설계하였다. 수치해석 결과, 제안된 제어시스템은 작업붐에 발생되는 유해 진동을 저감시킬 수 있었다. 실험적 연구를 위해 작업붐의 축소 모형을 제작하였고 제어시스템을 구축하였다. 또한 실험결과 작업붐의 진동을 짧은 시간에 제어하는 우수한 성능을 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 제안된 시스템의 진동제어 성능을 입증하였으며, 실제 첨단굴절로봇차에 적용될 경우 점검 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The most important thing in acontainer terminal is to handle the cargo effectively in the limited time available. To achieve this objective, many strategies have been introduced and applied. To create an automated container terminal, it is necessary for the cargo handling equipment to be equipped with more intelligent control systems. From the middle of the 1990's, automated rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMGC) and rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTG) have been widely used to handle containers in yards. Recently, many pieces of equipment, like CCD cameras and sensors, have beenmounted in these cranes to cope with the automated terminal environment. In this paper, we try to support the development of more intelligent automated cranes, which allow for more effective cargo handling in yards. For this purpose, the modeling, tracking control, anti-sway system design, skew motion suppressing, and complicated motion control and suppressing problems must be considered. Especially, in this paper, the system modeling and a new tracking control approach are discussed, and an experimental study is performed based on a two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) servosystem design.

In this study, system modeling and dynamic analysis of crane are conducted. Especially, among many different kinds of a crane system, the issues on crane operating problems installed on the vessel are considered. As well known, marine systems including cranes are exposed to various disturbances such as vessel motions, hydrodynamic forces, wave and wind attack, etc. In order to analysis the system dynamic with environmental conditions, the authors derived the nonlinear dynamic model of offshore crane and derived a linear model which is used for designing the control system. Using the obtained nonlinear and linear models, simulations were conducted to evaluate the usefulness of the obtained models. By simulation and result evaluation, the usefulness of the linear model, which presents the dynamics, is effectively verified.

타워크레인은 최근 증가되고 있는 고층 건축물의 시공에 핵심적인 장비임에도 불구하고, 지난 수십년간 이를 개선하기 위한 연구가 매우 부족하였다. 본 연구는 기존의 T형 타워크레인에 머신비전, RFID 및 GPS 기술 등을 접목한 지능형 타워크레인 개발 Framework을 제시하고, 제시된 Framework의 하위 모듈인 머신비젼 모듈의 프로토타입을 개발하였다. 머신비전 모듈은 CCTV와 LCD 모니터를 이용하여 현장 및 자재관련 멀티미디어 정보를 크레인 운전원과 현장 자업자가 실시간으로 공유학 수 있으므로 작업 생산성과 안전성을 의게 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The development of automated container terminal has been a hot issue for recent years. It's very natural because it's very important how many containers, how soon, and how precisely a container terminal can treat. A crane treats a very heavy container, maybe, no less than 20∼40 tons, thus most cranes use ropes to take up and land containers. But rope causes the sway of a container and this phenomenon is not avoided. On the ground of this, in most case how much skillful a driver is may affect the productivity of a yard or quay crane. Thus many researches have been concentrated on the development of the control algorithm for a crane which may be useful and robust enough to drive a crane without any human driver. Authors of this paper also are interested in this kind of research but we have been much more interested for years in the development of a mechanical structure which may cause much less sway than the existing cranes do. In this paper, we may introduce the basic structure of the developed anti-sway system.

Currently many studies on the unmanned gantry crane for the automated container terminal are accomplished. This is needed for the development of large scale, automation, high speed, unmanned system and information system in port facility. In order to do efficient container handling job in port yard, the automated handling system is well adapted to the job environments and all-season weather, In order to realize the automatic and unmanned system for container handling job, the required functions and main structure system are studied. The major problems of operation of the conventional gantry crane are that the vibration of gantry structure body is occurred by operation and that high-speed and precision position-velocity control and the capability to dope to the external disturbances caused by the wind, rain, fog and job environments. In this paper, the fundamental study for establishment of the concept and the dynamic modelling of the major sub system of the unmanned gantry crane is presented. These studies are useful for design and manufacturing of the new concept model of the unmanned gantry crane for efficient operation of the automated container terminal.

In general, the swing motions of a crane are controlled and suppressed by controlling the trolley motion. In many of our previous studies, we suggested a new type of anti-sway control system for a crane. In this proposed control system, a small auxiliary mass (moving-mass) is installed on the spreader and moving this auxiliary mass controls tire swing motion. The actuator reaction against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the container in order to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. However, measuring systems based on a laser sensor or other means are not veryuseful in real-worldapplications. So, in this paper, animage sensor is used to measure the motions of the spreader and the measured data are fed back to the controller in real time. The applied image processing technique is a kind of robust template matching method called Vector Code Correlation (VCC), which was devised to consider real environmental conditions. The H $\infty$ based control technique is applied to suppress the swing motion of the crane. Experimental results showed that the proposed measurement and control system based on an image sensor is useful and robust to disturbances.

컨테이너 크레인은 항만전체 하역 효율에 큰 영향을 미치는 하역 장비로서 그동안 컨테이너 크레인의 작업효율을 높이는 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 특히 화물이 목표치에 도달했을 때 흔들림을 단시간에 제어하는 데 초점이 맞추어져 왔다. 일반적으로 컨테이너 크레인을 제어하기 위해서 PID제어나 LQ제어가 주로 사용되었는데, 이는 제어기 설계가 용이하고, 주어진 제어 환경 하에서 우수한 제어성능을 발휘하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 LQ 제어의 관점에서 실수코딩 유전알고리즘을 이용한 상태 피드백 제어기의 설계 방법을 제안한다. 즉, 실수코딩 유전알고리즘을 이용하여 상태 피드백 이득을 탐색하는 방법이다. 실수코딩 유전알고리즘은 주어진 목적함수를 최소가 되도록 상태 피드백 이득을 최적으로 탐색한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션은 이렇게 탐색한 상태 피드백 이득을 컨테이너 크레인의 선형 및 비선형 모델에 적용하여 그 유효성을 확인한다.

Construction machinery is exposed to accidents such as collisions, narrowness, and overturns during operation. In particular, mobile crane is operated only with the driver's vision and limited information of the assistant worker. Thus, there is a high risk of an accident. Recently, some collision avoidance device using sensors such as cameras and LiDAR have been applied. However, they are still insufficient to prevent collisions in the omnidirectional 3D space. In this study, a rotating LiDAR device was developed and applied to a 250-ton crane to obtain a full-space point cloud. An algorithm that could provide distance information and safety status to the driver was developed. Also, deep-learning segmentation algorithm was used to classify human-worker. The developed device could recognize obstacles within 100m of a 360-degree range. In the experiment, a safety distance was calculated with an error of 10.3cm at 30m to give the operator an accurate distance and collision alarm.

This paper presents the design of an optimal state feedback controller for container cranes under some design specifications. To do this, the nonlinear equation of a container crane system is linearized and then augmented to eliminate the steady-state error, and some constraints are derived from the design specifications. Designing the controller involves a constrained optimization problem which classical gradient-based methods have difficulties in handling. Therefore, a real-coding genetic algorithm incorporating the penalty strategy is used. The responses of the proposed control system are compared with those of the unconstrained optimal control system to illustrate the efficiency.
