We have developed a new tracking system of jaw movement. The system consists of two permanent NdFeB magnets and 32 elements of two-axial fluxgate sensor array, The two magnets are attached to head portion and front tooth. This system does not need any attachments of the head portion or mouth such as clutch or magnetic field sensor except magnets. The proposed system is applicable for five degree of freedom. Position accuracy within 2]m was achieved. We developed a 3D computer input device by using the above mentioned technique.

In this paper, we design and implement a mouse movement measurement system using an infrared sensor called MAMS (Mouse Activity Measurement System). Unlike existing systems, MAMS can measure movements between IREDs. MAMS is removable allowing convenient portability and is also low cost. MAMS automatically measures mouse activity during a pre-set time interval. Since the measured data can be easily stored in a computer system, it is much simpler and more efficient than the Ugo 47420 model. Moreover, MAMS can be used in medical and veterinary field to eliminate manual observations.

본 연구에서는 센서상의 전하량 변화를 통하여 전위차를 측정할 수 있는 수동형 전기장센서를 이용하여 사람의 손동작에 의해 유발되는 신호를 측정 장치의 전원이나 주변 전력선에 의해 센서에 유입되는 잡음(PLN: Power Line Noise)의 고조파 성분을 분석하여 동작신호를 검출하고 추출하는 연구를 수행 한다. 전기장 센서에 유입되는 전력선잡음으로 센서가 사람의 존재, 접근, 동작에 의해 영향 받는 사실을 이용해 PLN의 주성분인 60Hz 고조파 성분의 스펙트럼분석을 수행하여 PLN 신호의 증가 또는 감소를 식별할 수 있고 상대적으로 동작에 민감한 120Hz 성분을 이용한다. FFT를 사용하여 120Hz의 신호성분이 특정 임계값을 통과할 때 신호를 검출하는 방법이다. 동작이 탐지되는 경우 임계값을 기준으로 프레임을 결정한다. 본 연구의 방법을 이용하여 얻은 동작 감지 성공률은 약 90% 수준을 달성하였다. 이렇게 감지된 동작신호로 추출한 프레임의 정확도는 약 85%이다. 수동형 전기장 센서를 이용하여 동작신호를 PLN을 이용하여 동작검출에 이용한 연구사례는 국내외적으로 드문 사례이며, 본 논문에서는 PLN이 상존하는 실내 적용환경에서 유망하게 활용될 수 있다.

이 논문에서는 선택적 주의 집중 기능을 갖는 도약 안구 시각 시스템을 제안한다. Saliency map 모델은 주어진 자연 영상에 대하여 선택위치를 순차적으로 출력하여 시선 이동 경로를 발생시킨다. 발생한 선택위치로의 신속한 움직임을 위하여 도약 안구 운동 모델을 개발하였다. 도약 안구 운동 모델은 시각 자극에 의한 반사적 도약 안구 운동 발생 시각 경로를 세 부분으로 구분하고, 시각 경로에 포함되는 뇌 조직들의 기능 및 역할이 반영되도록 각각의 세부 경로를 서로 다른 신경회로망을 이용하여 모델 하였다. 구현한 Saliency map 모델과 도약 안구운동 모델을 기반으로 한 능동 시각 시스템을 CCD 카메라와 BLDC 모터를 이용하여 실제 구성하고, 제안한 능동 시각 시스템이 실제 도약 안구의 움직임을 잘 추종하는지를 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

The LBS(Location Based Service) technology plays an important role in reducing wastes of time, losses of human lives and economic losses by detecting the user's location in order by suggesting the optimal evacuation route of the users in case of safety accidents. We developed an algorithm to estimate indoor location, movement path and indoor location changes of smart phone users based on the built-in sensors of smartphones and the dead-reckoning algorithm for pedestrians without a connection with smart devices such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Furthermore, seven different indoor movement scenarios were selected to measure the performance of this algorithm and the accuracy of the indoor location estimation was measured by comparing the actual movement route and the algorithm results of the experimenter(pedestrian) who performed the indoor movement. The experimental result showed that this algorithm had an average accuracy of 95.0%.

In order to reduce the distribution cost of sensor nodes, a mobile sensor deployment has been proposed. The mobile sensor deployment can be solved by finding the optimal layout and planning the movement of sensor nodes with minimum energy consumption. However, previous studies have not sufficiently addressed these issues with an efficient way. Therefore, we propose a new deployment approach satisfying these features, namely a tree-based approach. In the tree-based approach, we propose three matching schemes. These matching schemes match each sensor node to a vertex in a rake tree, which can be trivially transformed to the target layout. In our experiments, the tree-based approach successfully deploys the sensor nodes in the optimal layout and consumes less energy than previous works.

In this paper, we propose the miniaturization size of wearable Range of Motion(ROM) and a system that can be connected with smart devices in real-time to measure the joint movement range dynamically. Currently, the ROM of the joint is directly measured by a person using a goniometer. Conventional methods are different depending on the measurement method and location of the measurement person, which makes it difficult to measure consistently and may cause errors. Also, it is impossible to measure the ROM of joints in real-life situations. Therefore, the wearable sensor is attached to the joint to be measured to develop a miniaturize size ROM device that can measure the range of motion of the joint in real-time. The sensor measured the resistance value changed according to the movement of the joint using a load cell. Also, the sensed analog values were converted to digital values using an Analog to Digital Converter(ADC). The converted amount can be transmitted wireless to the smart device through the wearable sensor node. As a result, the developed device can be measured more consistently than the measurement using the goniometer, communication with IoT-based smart devices, and wearable enables dynamic observation. The developed wearable sensor node will be able to monitor the dynamic state of rehabilitation patients in real-time and improve the rapid change of treatment method and customized treatment.

로봇은 일정 속도 이상의 움직임을 가지면 필연적으로 진동을 하기 때문에 장착된 카메라의 경우 이미지가 흔들려 더 이상 로봇의 눈 역할을 수행하지 못하게 된다. 따라서 흔들리는 영상의 안정화를 위한 방법을 연구가 필요해졌다. 영상에서 글로벌 모션 벡터를 계산하여 안정화하는 방법이 존재하지만 이는 프로세서가 처리해야 하는 데이터양이 많아지기 때문에 임베디드 로봇의 사양의 한계로 인하여 실시간으로 영상을 송출하는데 큰 어려움이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 모션벡터를 사용하지 않는 모션센서를 통한 영상 안정화를 제안한다. 모션센서를 통하여 로봇의 진행과 관계없는 움직임을 추출하고 추출한 움직임을 영상에서 제거하는 방법이다.

Most partial hand amputees experience limited wrist movement, which hinders the efficient functioning of upper limb, affecting hand-to-use coordination and the usability of the prosthetic hand. This limitation can lead to secondary musculoskeletal issues due to repetitive compensatory movement patterns. However, current partial hand prosthetic lack rotational wrist movement due to challenges in accommodating various hand shapes and limited space. In our study, we proposed a prosthetic hand with a wrist rotation module for partial hand amputees, aiming to reduce compensatory movement. To validate the proposed wrist rotation module, we conducted motion analysis during reach-to-grasp task. Furthermore, during the Jebsen-Taylor hand function test, we evaluated both the effect on upper limb movement and the usability of the prosthetic hand, comparing configurations with and without the wrist rotation module. The results showed that the prosthetic hand equipped with rotational wrist movements reduces compensatory movements and promotes efficient upper limb movement patterns. This finding highlights the value of incorporating a wrist rotation module in prosthetic hands to improve upper limb movement for partial hand amputees.

An intensity-based optical fiber vibration sensor is applied to detect and evaluate damages and fiber failure of composites. The optical fiber vibration sensor is constructed by placing two cleaved fiber end, one of which is cantilevered in a hollow glass tube. The movement of the cantilevered section lags behind the rest of the sensor in response to an applied vibration and the amount of light coupled between the two fibers is thereby modulated. Vibration characteristics of the optical fiber vibration sensor are investigated. Surface mounted optical fiber vibration sensor is used in tensile and indentation test. Experimental results show that the optical fiber sensor can detect damages and fiber failure of composites correctly.
