본논문에서는 산업용 드론개발을 위한 안정성 향상에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존의 비행체의 경우 고신뢰도 대용량의 제어시스템을 이용하여 비행제어시스템을 구성하지만 무인 비행체는 소형 내장형시스템을 이용한다. 본 연구에서는 소형 무인 비행체에서 사용하는 소형 내장형 비행제어시스템에서 안정성을 개선하기 위한 방법으로 비행제어신호와 모터의 제어신호를 측정하여 안정상태와 이상상태를 구별한다. 제안한 방법은 기존의 비행제어시스템을 수정하지 않고 비행제어시스템의 감시가 가능 할 것으로 예상한다.

In this paper, we proposed a hybrid type robot that simultaneously surveillance and reconnaissance on the ground and in the air. It was possible to expand the surveillance and reconnaissance range by expanding the surveillance and reconnaissance area of the ground robot and quickly moving to the hidden area through the drone. First, ground robots go to mission areas through drones and perform surveillance and reconnaissance missions for urban warfare or mountainous areas. Second, drones move ground robots quickly. It transmits surveillance and reconnaissance images of ground robots to the control system and performs reconnaissance missions at the same time. Finally, in order to secure the interoperability of these hybrid robots, basic performance and environmental performance were verified. The evaluation method was tested and verified based on the KS standards.

Drones, which were early operated by remote control, have evolved to enable autonomous flight by combining various sensors and software tools. In particular, autonomous flight of drones was possible since the application of GNSS-RTK (global navigation satellite system with real-time kinematic positioning), a precision satellite navigation technology. For instance, unmanned drone delivery based on GNSS-RTK data was demonstrated for pizza delivery in Korea for the first time in 2021. However, the vulnerabilities of GNSS-RTK should be overcome for delivery drones to be commercialized. In particular, jamming in the navigation system and low positioning accuracy in urban areas should be addressed. Solving these two problems can lead to stable flight, takeoff, and landing of drones in urban areas, and the corresponding solutions are expected to establish a hybrid positioning technology. We discuss current trends in hybrid positioning technology that can either replace or complement GNSS-RTK for stable drone autonomous flight.

기존의 제설작업은 인력에 의존하여 시간과 비용이 많이 소요되고, 작업 중 발생할 수 있는 안전사고의 위험성이 존재한다. 본 논문은 제설작업의 효율성과 안전성 그리고 신속성을 높이기 위해 임베디드시스템을 활용한 드론용 제설장치의 설계에 대해 다루고 있다. 임베디드시스템은 RF모듈을 구성하고 무선으로 제어조종이 가능하도록 고안하였다. 드론에 장착되는 제설장치의 임베디드시스템으로는 아두이노메가2560을 채택하였다. 아두이노메가2560은 제설장치의 제어에 필요한 실시간 데이터수집, 처리, 응답을 처리와 RF모듈에서 오는 데이터에 대한 연산 및 제어 수행을 할 수 있다. 제설장치를 장착한 드론은 기존의 제설작업보다 안전하고 신속하게 수행될 것으로 기대된다.

Recently, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones have gained popularity for the engineering surveying and mapping because they enable the rapid data acquisition and processing as well as their operation cost is low. The applicable fields become much wider including the topographic monitoring, agriculture, and forestry. It is reported that the high geospatial accuracy is achievable with the drone photogrammetry for many applications. However most studies reported the best achievable mapping results using well-distributed ground control points though some studies investigated the impact of control points on the accuracy. In this study, we focused on the drone mapping of corridors such as roads and pipelines. The distribution and the number of control points along the corridor were diversified for the accuracy assessment. In addition, the effects of the camera self-calibration and the number of the image strips were also studied. The experimental results showed that the biased distribution of ground control points has more negative impact on the accuracy compared to the density of points. The prior camera calibration was favored than the on-the-fly self-calibration that may produce poor positional accuracy for the case of less or biased control points. In addition, increasing the number of strips along the corridor was not helpful to increase the positional accuracy.

Most conventional processors execute program instructions in a sequential manner. On the other hand, VLIW processor can execute multiple instructions at the same time. It exploits instruction level parallelism to improve system performance. To that end, program code should be rearranged to VLIW instruction format by a compiler. The compiler determine an optimal execution order of instructions of a program code. This instruction ordering is also called instruction scheduling. The scheduling is an algorithm that decides the execution order for instruction codes in loop parts of a program so that the instruction level parallelism can be maximized. In this research, we apply an existing scheduling algorithm to a VLIW FCC and describe analysis results to further improve its performance. And, we present a solution to solve some limitation of the existing scheduling technique. By using our solution, FCC's performance can be improved upto 32% compared to the existing scheduling only setting.

Unmanned flying robots have been used recently in many difficult situations. One of the major issues in this area is the problem of how long these unmanned flying robots can perform a given task successfully. For this, the development of a light body and high-efficiency power supply has been executed widely, but we do not as yet have the complete solution. In this paper, we propose a form of Multi-Copter X8, which can transform into other types to further improve these problems. The proposed robot has a 3-type modification capability, which can produce a more enhanced energy saving effect by reducing power consumption.

This paper describes a three-dimensional reference trajectory generation method for giving commands to an unmanned air vehicle (UAV). The trajectory is a set of consecutive curves with constant acceleration during each interval and passing through via-points at specified times or speeds. The functional inputs are three-dimensional positions and times (or speeds) at via-points, and velocities at both boundaries. Its output is the time series of position values satisfying the piecewise constant acceleration condition. To be specific, the shape of the trajectory, known as the path, is first represented by splines using third degree polynomials. A numeric algorithm is then suggested, which can overcome the demerits of cubic spline method and promptly generate a piecewise constant acceleration trajectory from the given path. To show the effectiveness of the present scheme, trajectory generation cases were treated, and their speed calculation errors were evaluated.

다양한 장치와 상황을 인식하여 사람에게 필요한 장치를 제어하는 기술 중 사람의 모션 인식을 활용한 응용과 서비스가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 기술들은 카메라를 이용하여 사람의 모션을 캡처하는 방식과 센서를 이용하여 상황을 유추하는 방식이 대표적이다. 그러나 사람의 모션을 인식하는 기존의 방식들은 큰 단위 움직임을 추적하기 때문에 드론제어와 같이 섬세하면서도 시간적으로 효과적인 작업이 필요한 응용 분야에 적용하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 사람의 손가락 동작을 기반으로 드론의 정밀하면서도 간편한 제어가 가능한 모션 인식 체계를 설계한다. 손가락 모션 인식 기반의 드론제어는 드론 축구 등과 같이 신속성과 정밀성이 필요한 분야의 서비스로 확장될 수 있다.
