본 연구는, 장애물과 지형에 순응할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 변형 가능한 로봇을 제안하고자 한다. 사람이 활동하는 영역에서 로봇을 사용할 때, 항상 로봇의 이동에 적합한 환경을 제공해 줄 수는 없다. 따라서 로봇 자체가 환경을 인식하고 그에 맞게 동작할 수 있어야 한다. 로봇은 바퀴구동을 통한 평탄한 지형에서의 빠른 이동성과 보행을 통한 평탄하지 않은 지형에서의 이동성의 장점들을 동시에 지닐 수 있는 구조로 설계되었다. 스테레오 영상 시스템과 거리감지 센서모듈을 통해 로봇의 안정적이고 효과적인 동작을 구현하고자 한다. 본 논문에 대해서는 실험을 통해 이를 검증한다.

Legged locomotion has high mobility on irregular surfaces by touching the ground at discrete points. Inspired by the creature's legged locomotion, legged robots have been developed to explore unstructured environments. In this paper, we propose a modular crawler that can easily adjust the number of legs for adapting the environment that the robot should move. One module has a pair of legs, so the number of legs can be adjusted by changing the number of modules. All legs are driven by a single driving motor for simple and compact design, so the driving axle of each module is connected by the universal joint. Universal joints between modules enable the body flexion for steering or overcoming higher obstacles. A prototype of crawler with three modules is built and the driving performance and the effect of module lifting on the ability to overcome obstacles are demonstrated by the experiments.

As worldwide concern stands on global warming and greenhouse gases from internal combustion engine, the interests in technologies for a highly efficient powertrain has been increased. Concurrently the investigation to improve the deteriorated NVH, a by-product of energy efficient powertrain, is conducted seriously. The NVH performance of a new type of active engine mount that offers increased advantages over a passive hydraulic mount is examined using a newly developed 6-DOF simulator. The simulator is in the shape of Hexapod Stewart Platform adopting LEMA, a new type of actuator which is patented and commercialized by ACT Inc,, the world wide leader in the design, development, and manufacture of high performance linear electro-magnetic actuators for active vibration control. The target vibration signals of an aimed vehicle at four engine mounts are measured and simulated by 6-DOF simulator at the laboratory. The resulting NVH performances of the new active mounting system at a vehicle and on a simulator are examined and compared. Even though the active mount performance of lab test demonstrates less effective than the result of a real vehicle test, vibration reduction is identified through the simulator.
