Vanadium oxides have been widely used in a variety of technological applications such electrochromic devices as infrared detectors and are expected as a material suitable for gas sensing applications. Thin films of Vanadium oxide (VOx) have been deposited by r.f magnetron sputtering under different oxygen partial pressure ratios and substrate temperatures. Humidity-sensitive properties of resistive sensors having interdigitated electrode structure are characterized. Our sensors show good response to humidity over 20%RH to 80%RH. Vanadium oxide films deposited with 0% $O_2$ partial pressure at foot exhibit greater sensitivity to humidity change than others.

In this paper, we describe a sensor module that monitors fire environment by analyzing fire characteristics. We analyzed the smoke characteristics of indoor fire. Six different environments were defined according to the type of smoke and the flame, and the sensors available for each environment were combined. Based on this analysis, the sensors were selected from the perspective of firefighter. The sensor module consists of an RGB camera, an infrared camera and a radar. It is designed with minimum weight to fit on the robot. the enclosure of sensor is designed to protect against the radiant heat of the fire scene. We propose a single camera mode, thermal stereo mode, data fusion mode, and radar mode that can be used depending on the fire scene. Thermal stereo was effectively refined using an image segmentation algorithm, SLIC (Simple Linear Iterative Clustering). In order to reproduce the fire scene, three fire test environments were built and each sensor was verified.

기존의 위치인식 시스템을 활용한 방법으로는 적외선, 초음파, RFID, GPS, UWB, 신호 세기 등을 이용한 방법이 있지만, 각 시스템은 음영지역에서의 위치인식이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 협력 스펙트럼 센싱(Cooperative Spectrum Sensing)을 이용해 사물이 움직이는 경로와 위치를 판단하고, 센서가 위치한 정해진 경로를 이탈할 경우에 이를 인지해 정상적인 경로로 이동할 수 있도록 도와준다. 협력 스펙트럼 센싱은 1차 사용자에게 간섭 영향을 미치지 않는 범위 내에서 전파인지 사용자에게 최적의 전송 전력과 변조 레벨을 결정할 수 있기 때문에 주파수의 사용 효율을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 협력 스펙트럼 센싱 기법을 이용한 위치인식 시스템을 제안하였다.

최근 게임시장이 약한 성장세를 보임에 따라, 소비자들은 기존의 게임 방식을 벗어난 새로운 형태의 게임에 많은 관심을 보이고 있다. 이에 따라 기존의 간단한 조이스틱과 버튼으로 움직이던 인터페이스를 벗어나 가속도 센서, 적외선 센서, 영상을 이용한 모션 감지 등 다양한 센서를 이용하여 좀 더 활동적으로 유저들이 게임을 즐길 수 있도록 제작되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 생체신호 중 근전도(EMG) 신호를 인터페이스로 사용하는 방법을 제안한다.

This paper develops a control method for some generic formation tasks of multiple mobile robots with inaccurate sensor information. Inaccurate sensor information means that all the robots have only local sensors that cannot accurately measure absolute distances and directions of objects. That is, all the sensors have limitation on the range, and uncertainty in the values. Therefore, more robust and reliable control logic is proposed and implemented. The logic is developed considering generic situations and increasing the number of robots participating in the formation. Petri nets are used for modeling and design of the control logic, which can visualize the control models and make it easy to check the states of each robot. Physically homogeneous mobile robots are designed and built to evaluate the developed logic. Each robot is equipped with eighteen infrared sensors and a UHF transceiver module. The experiment results are analyzed quantitatively by using the data of the relative distances and angles between the robots. And the trajectories of the robots during the formation are also evaluated. The developed control approach is demonstrated with experiments to be successful and efficient for the formation of autonomous mobile robots.

최근 적외선이나 초음파, 전자기파 등을 이용해 자연의 신호를 검출해 내는 센서들이 여러 가지 응용분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 더욱이 어떤 대상물이 가지고 있는 정보를 감지하는 고성능의 단일센서뿐만 아니라 이를 시스템적으로 개발하고 응용하는 것의 필요성도 높아져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로파를 이용한 레이더 센서 시스템을 설명하였고, 그 중 CW (Continuous Wave) 도플러 레이더를 이용한 마이크로파 센서 시스템의 동작 및 응용을 살펴보았다. 또한 이러한 시스템에 사용될 수 있는 고안정 주파수원으로 유전체 공진 발진기를 설계 제작하여 상용 시스템으로의 적용 가능성을 보였다. 제작된 유전체 공진 발진기는 12.67 GHz에서 동작하고, 출력전력이 +5.33 dBm 위상잡음은 100 kHz 옵셋주파수에서 -108.5 dBc/Hz를 얻었다.

In this paper, the IR and compass sensors for the underwater system were used. The walls of the water tank have been recognized and avoided treating the walls as obstacles by the bio-mimetic underwater robot. This paper is consists of two parts: 1.The hardware part for the IR and compass sensors and 2.The software part for obstacle avoidance algorithm while the bio-mimetic robot is swimming with the obstacle recognition. Firstly, the hardware part controls through the RS-485 communications between a microcontroller and the bio-mimetic underwater robot. The software part is simulated for obstacle recognition and collision avoidance based upon the data from IR and compass sensors. Actually, the bio-mimetic underwater robot recognizes where is the obstacle as well as where is the bio-mimetic robot itself while it is moving in the water. While the underwater robot is moving at a constant speed recognizing the wall of water tank as an obstacle, an obstacle avoidance algorithm is applied for the wall following swimming based upon the IR and compass sensor data. As the results of this research, it is concluded that the bio-mimetic underwater robot can follow the wall of the water tank efficiently, while it is avoiding collision to the wall.

We describe a common optical system that merges a LADAR system, which generates a point cloud, and a more traditional imaging system operating in the LWIR, which generates image data. The optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined by analysis of detection ranges of the LADAR sensor, and the result was applied to design a common optical system using LADAR sensors and LWIR sensors; the performance of these sensors was then evaluated. The minimum detectable signal of the $128{\times}128-pixel$ LADAR detector was calculated as 20.5 nW. The detection range of the LADAR optical system was calculated to be 1,000 m, and according to the results, the optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined to be 15.7 cm. The modulation transfer function (MTF) in relation to the diffraction limit of the designed common optical system was analyzed and, according to the results, the MTF of the LADAR optical system was 98.8% at the spatial frequency of 5 cycles per millimeter, while that of the LWIR optical system was 92.4% at the spatial frequency of 29 cycles per millimeter. The detection, recognition, and identification distances of the LWIR optical system were determined to be 5.12, 2.82, and 1.96 km, respectively.

A new target adaptive guidance (TAG) algorithm is proposed to engage the aim point formed by adding a bias to the information from an infrared (IR) seeker for improving passive homing guidance effectiveness. The TAG algorithm utilizes an observability enhancing mid-course guidance algorithm to obtain convergent estimates of state variables involved particularly in range channel otherwise unavailable from passive sensors. Simulation results indicate that the TAG algorithm provides improved terminal effectiveness without computational complexities.

Micro-robots using microprocessor are mainly classified as line-tracer, micro-mouse, and war-robot. This paper presents the development of the war-robot mechanism with vehicle-style using RC-servo motors and actuators using 4-bar linkage and infrared sensors. Especially the algorithm of conquering other war-robots is proposed based on the skill of belly-throw of Korean wrestling.
