A projection-based active information display system was proposed. The proposed system is based on Intelligent Space and a steerable projector mounted mobile robot which is called Ubiquitous Display (UD). In order to transfer visual information for a human in the Intelligent Space, the UD projects a certain shape of an image with a fixed size. Due to redundancy of degree of freedom (DOF), there are lots of situations to project a same shape and size of the image on a surface. In this paper, we describe a method to determine a goal posture of the UD. Here, the goal posture is the most efficient position and orientation of the UD so as to project visual information and it is determined by the Intelligent Space. To verify the proposed method, simulation and demonstration are carried out.

This paper discusses haptic display for grasping a virtual object by two fingers. Much research has been done on fundamental analysis for stability of haptic display. But it is difficult to apply the results immediately to grasping situations by two fingers, since the studies usually deal with a single device and a single object and the fingertip force in grasping situations has two components, internal and external components. The conventional methods, which specify the coupling impedance at each contact point separately, have no other alternative but to specify the impedance for the sum of the internal and external components. So even if only the impedance for the external force should be changed, the impedance for the internal force is also changed at the same time. In this paper, a new method, in which the coupling impedance is specified separately for the internal and external forces, is proposed and the stability of the proposed method is discussed using passivity analysis for 1 -DOF(Degree-Of-Freedom) system. Finally, some experiments are performed to study the effects of the proposed method.

Military Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is utilized to search a mine under the sea. This paper presents design and performance verification of real-time hybrid navigation system for AUV. The navigation system uses Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) integration method to correct INS error in underwater. When the AUV is floated on the water, the accumulated error of navigation algorithm is corrected using position/velocity of GPS. The navigation algorithm is verified using 6 Degree Of Freedom (DOF) simulation, Program In the Loop Simulation (PILS). Finally, the experiments are performed in real sea environment to prove the reliability of real-time hybrid navigation algorithm.

This paper presents experimental results of the attitude control for a two-rotor system with 3-DOF(degree-of-freedom). Two DC motors are equipped at the two ends of a rectangular beam to generate lift force and the relation between motor voltage and lift force is found experimentally. And inertial sensors are mounted at the center of the beam to measure the roll angle and a complementary filter is designed to get the angle during DC motors driving. A controller with nonlinear compensation, integrator and state feedback to achieve asymptotic tracking for a step input and reject input disturbance is designed and experimented.

A stochastic response spectrum method is proposed for simple evaluation of the structural response of an actively controlled aseismic structure. The response spectrum is constructed assuming a linear structure with an active mass damper (AMD) system, and an earthquake wave model given by the product of a non-stationary envelope function and a stationary Gaussian random process with Kanai-Tajimi power spectral density. The control design is executed using a linear quadratic Gaussian control strategy for an enlarged state space system, and the response amplification factor is given by the combination of the obtained statistical response values and extreme value theory. The response spectrum thus produced can be used for simple dynamical analyses. The response factors obtained by this method for a multi-degree-of-freedom structure are shown to be comparable with those determined by numerical simulations, demonstrating the validity and utility of the proposed technique as a simple design tool. This method is expected to be useful for engineers in the initial design stage for structures with active aseismic control.

This paper proposes a low-cost robotic surgery system composed of a general purpose robotic arm, an interface for daVinci surgical robot tools and a modular haptic controller utilizing smart actuators. The 7 degree of freedom (DOF) haptic controller is suspended in the air using the gravity compensation, and the 3D position and orientation of the controller endpoint is calculated from the joint readings and the forward kinematics of the haptic controller. Then the joint angles for a general purpose robotic arm is calculated using the analytic inverse kinematics so that that the tooltip reaches the target position through a small incision. Finally, the surgical tool wrist joints angles are calculated to make the tooltip correctly face the desired orientation. The suggested system is implemented and validated using the physical UR5e robotic arm.

In this paper, output compliance effects at RCC point by both redundant joint compliances and antagonistic torques generated by internal preloading between joints of a spherical 3 degree-of-freedom mechanism are investigated. For this purpose, kinematic analysis is briefly described. Then, output compliance models at RCC point, which is generated by redundant joint compliances and by internal preloading between joints are derived. Finally, ranges of output compliance modulation due to these redundant joint compliances and antagonistic torques are examined through simulation.

인간형 로봇(Humanoid)은 인간과 유사한 구조를 갖고 있는 로봇으로, 이족 보행이 가능하고 양 손이 자유롭기 때문에 인간 생활 환경에 적용이 가능하다. 인간형 로봇은 이족 보행 로봇의 형태를 지니며 보통 20 자유도(DOF : Degree of freedom) 이상의 높은 자유도와 직렬형 링크 구조로 인해 로봇의 안정도를 해석하고 움직임을 제어하기가 어렵다. 이러한 이유로 이족 보행 로봇 동작의 안정도를 증가시키기 위해 로봇의 최적화된 동작 패턴 생성과 자세 제어 등이 연구 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 범용 근사자의 특징을 갖는 신경망을 이용하여 이족 보행 로봇의 동작 패턴 생성 방법에 대하여 제안하였다. 실제로 계획된 동작을 토대로 6가지의 동작 패턴을 생성하였으며 컴퓨터 모의실험과 상용 이족 보행 로봇을 이용하여 생성된 동작 패턴의 안정도를 확인해보고 제안된 방법에 타당성을 검증하였다.

최근 다양하게 등장하고 있는 운전자를 위한 보조 장치 중 운전자의 주차를 위해 사용되는 장치들 중 하나인 차량용 카메라는 주로 차량 후방의 번호판 위에 주로 위치하여 운전자의 주차에 도움을 주는 역할에 사용이 되고 있다. 최근에는 이러한 카메라를 이용하여 전 후방 및 좌 우측을 모두 보여주기 위한 AVM(Around View Monitor) 시스템이 개발되었다. 그러나 다수의 카메라를 사용하는 AVM시스템에서 운전자에게 통합된 영상을 제공하기 위해서는 카메라의 방사왜곡보정과 호모그래피(Homography) 알고리즘을 통해 정합하는 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 호모그래피 과정에서 결과 영상의 품질을 개선하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 제안하는 방법을 구현하여 기존의 8DOF(Degree of Freedom)을 사용한 방법과 결과 영상의 품질을 비교함으로써 개선된 영상을 제공할 수 있음을 제시한다.
