This paper offers a practical control scheme for driving mode transformation of a rescue robot already developed. The rescue robot, VSTR(Variable Single-Tracked Robot), has two driving modes, so can traverse untidy terrain and overcome obstacles such as stairs easily by use of timely driving mode transformation. Classical PI control scheme was used firstly for driving mode transformation, but stationary phenomenon, which might have a bad effect on the performance in real situation, came into existence. Therefore, we suggest a new controller, PI-based feedforward controller, which should be a good alternative for the problem, and compare it with other nonlinear control scheme.

When problems occurred in the unstable and/or extreme terrain environment, formal field-driving robots were unable to provide any other options such as the transformation of the wheel and body structure, and so on. For such reason, this paper proposed a novel type of integrated wheel mechanism that can be operated as a conventional driving wheel mode and hybrid wheel-leg mode in order to be negotiated in an unstable terrain environment. The mechanical effect of the proposed variable wheel mechanism was analyzed considering the geometric constraint and power requirement of the actuator for the transformation. In addition, we designed and manufactured the prototype of field-driving robot, which reliably control the variable wheel shape. Finally, the effectiveness of the variable wheel mechanism was verified by preliminary experimental approach.

In this paper, we propose a new obstacle negotiation method for the rescue robot. The rescue robot has a variable geometry single-tracked mechanism, so it can maximize a contact length with ground for the adaptability to off-road and pursue a stable system due to the lower center of gravity. In this research, we add the basis of autonomous navigation, driving mode control based on obstacle detection, to the robot to realize automation of mode transformation. Obstacle detection using PSD(Position Sensitive Device) infrared sensors gives active transformation of the track shape. Finally, experimental results about mentioned are presented.

This paper proposes fast speaker adaptation method using artificially distorted speech in telematics terminal under the car noise environment based on eigenspace-based maximum likelihood linear regression (ES-MLLR). The artificially distorted speech is built from adding the various car noise signals collected from a driving car to the speech signal collected from an idling car. Then, in every environment, the transformation matrix is estimated by ES-MLLR using the artificially distorted speech corresponding to the specific noise environment. In test mode, an online model is built by weighted sum of the environment transformation matrices depending on the driving condition. In 3k-word recognition task in the telematics terminal, we achieve a performance superior to ES-MLLR even using the adaptation data collected from the driving condition.

정부는 2021년부터 다부처 연구개발사업으로 자율주행기술개발혁신사업을 추진해오고 있다. 해당 연구개발사업에서 개발되는 자율주행차와 서비스 기술은 추후 선정된 리빙랩 도시를 대상으로 일반인들에게 제공한다는 계획이다. 특히 서비스분야는 해당 서비스별 목적과 특성에 따라 안전하고 안정적인 서비스가 가능한 공간적 범위와 운행구간을 선정하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 향후 Level 4 수준의 자율주행서비스 제공 구역 설정 방법론을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로서 기존 공개된 논문 및 관련 문헌조사를 통해 Level 4 수준의 자율주행서비스를 위한 정적인 ODD 구성요소를 재분류하고, 자율주행의 안전성에 미치는 공간적인 영향 요인에 대하여 Level 3 자율주행차 실제 주행데이터 및 공간정보분석 기법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 공간정보분석 기법을 통해 총 6개의 주행모드변경(제어권전환) 다발 지점이 도출되었고, 해당 지점의 중복된 정적인 ODD 구성요소 확인 결과 자율주행의 안전성에 영향을 미치는 요인은 횡단보도, 신호등, 교차로, 자전거 도로, 포켓차로, 주의 표지판, 중앙분리대로 나타났다. 이러한 공간정보분석을 통한 자율주행의 공간적 요인분석은 자율주행기술개발혁신사업의 리빙랩 도시뿐만 아니라 현재 확대·운영되고 있는 자율주행차 시범운행지구에서 자율주행서비스 운영지구 선정에도 기초연구로 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

This paper presents a new disk-type piezoelectric transformer. The input side of the transformer has a crescent-shaped electrode and the output side has a focused poling direction. The piezoelectric transformers operated in each transformer's resonance vibration mode. The electrodes and poling directions on commercially available piezoelectric ceramic disks were designed so that the planar or shear mode coupling factor $(k_p\;k_{15})$ becomes effective rather than the transverse mode coupling factor $(k_{31})$. ANSYS finite element code was used to analyze transformer behavior and to optimize electrode and poling configurations. The voltage step-up ratio of the proposed transformer has been markedly improved in comparison with that of the equivalent rectangular(Rosen) type. A single layer prototype transformer, $20\sim30mm$ in diameter and $1.0\sim3.5mm$ thick, was fabricated, such as step-up ratio, power transformation efficiency, and temperature were measured. While the transformer was driving a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp(CCFL), the temperature field of the transformer was also observed.
