Nowadays, CPS is used widely, especially in cases which need more precise position information, such as car navigation systems and even in the mobile robot for position measuring in the outdoor environment. RTK (Real-Time Kinematics) and DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) have more precise accuracy than the general-purposed GPS. However can't easily use them because of high prices and large size of equipments. In order fur the mobile robot to obtain precise position information it is important that CPS receiver has portability and low price. In this study, we introduce a new GPS data acquisition system that offers the precise position data using the DGPS mechanism and satisfying low cost and portability. In addition to this, we propose an improved data compensation algorithm that offers more accurate position information to the outdoor mobile robot by compensating the error rate of CPS data measured from the three points with geometrical rotation and distance formula. Proposed method is verified by comparing with the precise real position data obtained by RTK. Proposed method has more than 70% performance enhancement.

본 논문에서는 실내 보안지역내의 인간 출입을 통제하기위해 보안로봇을 이용한 출입통제 기능을 수행한 시스템 및 연구결과를 제시하고 있다. 제안된 로봇은 환경인식을 위한 레이저파인더를 탑재하고 보안지역을 상시 관찰을 수행하며 출입금지 구역에 인간을 출입이나 진행을 감지했을 때, 로봇이 인간의 속도벡터를 계산 및 주행할 경로를 계획하고 인간의 진행방향을 차단할 수 있도록 예측된 경로를 따라 주행을 하게 된다. 이때, 인간의 움직임은 포인터 물체로 간주하였으며 로봇의 기구학에 기반하여 인간의 위치를 추정한다. 실내에서 계속적인 환경변화에 대해 로봇은 감시기능 수행하게 된다. 통제구역에 대한 진입을 인식하게 되면 인간의 움직임의 반대방향으로 주행하여 진입차단 기법을 제시한다. 제안된 연구결과를 검정하기위해 로봇을 이용한 위치추정 및 추적 실험결과를 제시하였다.

One of the goals in the field of mobile robotics is the development of personal service robots for the elderly which behave in populated environments. In this paper, we describe a security robot system and ongoing research results that minimize the risk of the elderly and the infirm to access an area to enter restricted areas with high potential for falls, such as stairs, steps, and wet floors. The proposed robot system surveys a potential falling area with an equipped laser scanner sensor. When it detects walking in elderly or infirm patients who in restricted areas, the robot calculates the velocity vector, plans its own path to forestall the patient in order to prevent them from heading to the restricted area and starts to move along the estimated trajectory. The walking human is assumed to be a point-object and projected onto a scanning plane to form a geometrical constraint equation that provides position data of the human based on the kinematics of the mobile robot. While moving, the robot continues these processes in order to adapt to the changing situation. After arriving at an opposite position to the human's walking direction, the robot advises them to change course. The simulation and experimental results of estimating and tracking of the human in the wrong direction with the mobile robot are presented.

The ball-shaped mobile robot, so called ballbot has single point contact on ground and low energy consumption in motion because of the reduced friction. In this paper, a new ballbot is presented, which has omnidirectional mobile platform inside of it as a driving system. Thus the ballbat has omnidirectional mobility without nonholonomic constraints. Kinematics and inverse kinematics of the ballbat is derived also in this paper.

The mobile robots to rescue a life in a disaster area and to explore planets demand high mobility as well as recognition of the environment. To avoid unknown obstacles exactly in unknown environment, accurate sensing is required. This paper proposes a sensor fusion to recognize unknown obstacles accurately by using low-cost sensors. Ultrasonic sensors and infrared sensors are used in this paper to avoid obstacles. If only one of these sensors is used alone, it is not useful fer the mobile robots to complete their tasks in the real world since the surrounding environment in the real world is complex and composed of many kinds of materials. So infrared sensor may not recognize transparent or reflective obstacles and ultrasonic sensor may not recognize narrow obstacles, far example, columns of small diameter. Therefore, I selected six ultrasonic sensors and five infrared sensors to detect obstacles. Then, I fused ultrasonic sensors with infrared sensors in order that both advantages and disadvantages of each sensor are utilized together. In fusing sensors, fuzzy algorithm is used to cope with the uncertainties of each sensor. TAMRY which is terrain-adaptive mobile robot is used as the mobile robot for experiments.

Kinematic modeling is a prerequisite for motion planning and the control of mobile robots. In this paper, we proposed a new method of kinematic modeling for a type of mobile robot based on differential motion transformation. The differential motion implies a small translation and rotation in three-dimensional space in a small time interval. Thus, transformation of the differential motion gives the velocity relationship, i.e., Jacobian between two coordinate frames. Since the theory of the differential motion transformation is well-developed, it is useful for the systematic velocity kinematic modeling of mobile robots. In order to show the validity for application of the differential motion transformation, we obtained velocity kinematic models for a type of exemplar mobile robot including spherical ballbots.

이동로봇과 작업로봇의 직결연결 형태인 이동매니퓰레이터는 원자로 내부와 같은 위험한 작업환경에서 다양한 일한 처리하기위해 유용한 시스템이라 할 수 있다. 하부의 이동로봇은 non-holonomic 시스템이고 상부의 작업로봇의 결합으로 인하여 기구학적 잉여자유도를 갖고 있다. 그러나 주행 중 작업공간 확보로 인하여 고정식 매니퓰레이터보다 더 효율적인 작업이 가능 하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상정보에 의한 물체인식 및 최적주행을 수행하기 위하여 이동로봇에 장착된 능동카메라에 인식된 영상과 실제 물체간의 기하학적 관계를 이용하여 직교좌표상의 물체의 위치를 추정할 수 있도록 하였다. 두 번째로 시스템의 위치변위 및 영상정보를 이용하여 물체위치를 추정하고 동차행렬을 이용하여 이동매니퓰레이터의 현 위치와 물체간의 최적경로를 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시한 방법을 시뮬레이션과 이동매니퓰레이터를 이용한 실험데이터분석을 통하여 유효성을 제시하였다.

In this paper, we propose a kinematic approach to estimating the real-time moving object. A new scheme for a mobile robot to track and capture a moving object using images of a camera is proposed. The moving object is assumed to be a point-object and projected onto an image plane to form a geometrical constraint equation that provides position data of the object based on the kinematics of the active camera. Uncertainties in the position estimation caused by the point-object assumption are compensated using the Kalman filter. To generate the shortest time path to capture the moving object, the linear and angular velocities are estimated and utilized. The experimental results of tracking and capturing of the target object with the mobile robot are presented.

This paper presents the sensitivity analysis of the leasst qsuares velocity estimation of an omnidirectional mobile robot using a regular polygonal array of optical mice. First, the velocity kinematics from a mobile robot to an array of optical mice is derived as an overdetermined linear system. Then, for a given set of optical mouse readings, the least squares velocity estimation of a mobile robot is obtained as the simple average. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of the proposed least squares velocity estimation to imprecise installation is made.
