The basic function of on industrial robot system is to move objects in the workspace fast and accurately. One difficulty in performing this function is that the path of robot should be programmed to avoid the collision with obstacles, that is, tools, or facilities. This path planning requires much off-line programming time. In this study, a SOM technique to find the collision-free path of robot in real time is developed. That is, the collision-free map is obtained through SOM learning and a collision-free path is found using the map in real time during the robot operation. A learning procedure to obtain the map and an algorithm to find a short path using the map is developed and simulated. Finally, a path smoothing method to stabilize the motion of robot is suggested.

This paper proposes a path planning algorithm for mobile robots. To generate a minimum-distance path for mobile robots, we use the Genetic Algorithm(GA) and Visibility Graph. After finding a minimum-distance path between a start and a goal point, the path is revised to find the smooth subminimum-distance path by a path-smoothing algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms are effective.

Radio occultation technique has been used in planetary science to obtain reliable and accurate temperature profiles of the other planets' atmosphere for decades. It relies on the fact that radio waves are bent and delayed due to the gradient of atmospheric refractivity along-ray-path. With the advent of Global Positioning System (GPS), it becomes possible to retrieve the refractivity and temperature profiles of the Earth's atmosphere from the occultation data. We have developed a retrieval algorithm and compared the results of our algorithm with the data of CHAMP to verify the accuracy of our algorithm is good enough. In our algorithm, there are some smoothing steps when retrieving. We analysis the data of FORMOSAT-3 and compare the results with and without smoothing and the results of TACC to see is there any phenomenon deleted after smoothing.

An efficient meshfree method based on a stabilized conforming nodal integration method is developed for elastoplastic contact analysis of metal forming processes. In this approach, strain smoothing stabilization is introduced to eliminate spatial instability in Galerkin meshfree methods when the weak form is integrated by a nodal integration. The gradient matrix associated with strain smoothing satisfies the integration constraint for linear exactness in the Galerkin approximation. Strain smoothing formulation and numerical procedures for path-dependent problems are introduced. Applications of metal forming analysis are presented, from which the computational efficiency has been improved significantly without loss of accuracy.

Subsea pipeline route design is a crucial task for the offshore oil and gas industry, and the route selected can significantly affect the success or failure of an offshore project. Thus, it is essential to design pipeline routes to be eco-friendly, economical and safe. Obstacle avoidance is one of the main problems that affect pipeline route selection. In this study, we propose a technique for designing an automatic obstacle avoidance. The Laplacian smoothing algorithm was used to make automatically generated pipeline routes fairer. The algorithms were fast and the method was shown to be effective and easy to use in a simple set of case studies.

본 논문에서는 2차원 공간에서 기동하는 고정익 무인항공기의 장애물 회피를 위한 부드러운 경로궤적을 생성하는 문제를 다룬다. 2차원 장애물맵의 이산화 모델링을 위해 육각형 격자를 채택하였고, 이는 사각형 격자에 비해 연결성이 높아 부드러운 경로궤적 생성이 가능하도록 하였다. 특히 본 논문에서 제안된 경로템플릿 기법은 일정거리 단위로 조합 가능한 대표경로들(경로템플릿)을 사용하여 무인항공기의 기준경로를 생성하는 방법이고, 온라인 경로궤적 생성에서 계산량을 줄여 메모리 및 연산리소스가 제한되는 소형 오토파일럿에서도 적용이 가능하다는 장점이 있다.

In this paper, we present a new method to tool path planning problem for rough cut of pocket milling operations. The key idea is to formulate the tool path problem into a TSP (Travelling Salesman Problem) so that the powerful neural network approach can be effectively applied. Specifically, our method is composed of three procedures: a) discretization of the pocket area into a finite number of tool points, b) neural network approach (called SOM-Self Organizing Map) for path finding, and c) postprocessing for path smoothing and feedrate adjustment. By the neural network procedure, an efficient tool path (in the sense of path length and tool retraction) can be robustly obtained for any arbitrary shaped pockets with many islands. In the postprocessing, a) the detailed shape of the path is fine tuned by eliminating sharp corners of the path segments, and b) any cross-overs between the path segments and islands. With the determined tool path, the feedrate adjustment is finally performed for legitimate motion without requiring excessive cutting forces. The validity and powerfulness of the algorithm is demonstrated through various computer simulations and real machining.

삼차원 CT 영상을 이용하여 대장 내부의 병변을 관찰하고 진단하기 위한 비침습적 검사 방법인 가상 대장 내시경을 위하여 가상 카메라의 관찰점과 관찰 방향을 제공하기 위한 적절한 경로가 필요하다. 특히. 인간의 대장은 매우 길고 복잡하므로 사용자가 직접 경로를 생성하려면 많은 시간이 걸리고 정확한 결과를 기대하기 어렵다. 또한 경로를 자동으로 생성하는 기존의 방법들은 계산량이 많아 약 수 분에서 수 십분 이상의 수행 시간이 걸리고. 사람의 대장이 가지는 대표적인 구조인 두께가 급격히 변하거나 곡률이 큰 영역에서 적절한 중앙선을 얻기 어려우며. 끊김이 있는 부적절한 경로를 생성하고, 평활화된 경로가 대상체의 표면과 충돌할 가능성을 배제할 수 없다. 이 논문에서는 계산량이 적은 거리 지도 및 제안된 순서 지도를 이용하여 끊김이 없고 적절한 중앙선을 얻는 고속의 알고리즘을 제안한다 순서 지도는 대상체 내부의 각 복셀에서의 가능한 경로의 방향을 나타내며 거리 지도는 대상체 내부의 각 복셀과 가장 가까운 배경 복셀까지의 거리를 나타낸다. 제안한 방법에서는 두 지도들을 이용하여 끝점에서 출발하여 시작점을 향하는 동시에 더욱 넓은 영역으로 진행하는 경로를 얻으므로, 대상체의 두께와 곡률의 크기에 관계없이 적절한 중앙선을 얻을 수 있다. 이와 함께 경로의 충돌 가능성을 완전히 제거할 수 있는 간단한 평활화 방법을 제안한다 알고리즘의 적절성을 검증하기 위해 사람의 대장의 특징을 가진 팬텀(phantom) 데이터를 이용하여 실험하였다. 사람의 대장 CT 데이터를 이용하여 800MHz PC에서 1분 이내에 적절한 경로를 얻었으며 이를 따라 이동하는 가상의 카메라로부터 만족할만한 가상 대장 내시경 영상을 얻을 수 있음을 보였다.

We developed a path algorithm for ultrafast/wide area laser processing. Demands for high precision laser processing with a wide area has been increasing for a number of applications such as in solar cell battery, display parts, electronic component and automobile industry. Expansion of the area in which laser processing is an important factor to handle the ultrafast/wide area processing, it will require a processing path. Processing path is path of 2- axis stage and stage of change in velocity can be smooth as possible. In this paper, we proposed a smoothingnurbs method of improved speed profile. This method creates soft path from edge part, it is main purpose that scan area ($50mm{\times}50mm$) inside processing path makes path of topology of possible straight line. We developed a simulation tool using Visual C++.

It is necessary that UGV(Unmanned Ground Vehicle) should generate a real-time travesability index map by analyzing raw terrain information to travel autonomously tough terrain which has various slope and roughness values. In this paper, we propose a local path planning method, $MA^*$(Modified $A^*$) algorithm, using DVGM (Directional Velocity Grid Map) for unmanned ground vehicle. We also present a path optimization algorithm and a path smoothing algorithm which regenerate a pre-planned local path by $MA^*$ algorithm into the reasonable local path considering the mobility of UGV. Field test is conducted with UGV in order to verify the performance of local path planning method using DVGM. The local path planned by $MA^*$ is compared with the result of $A^*$ to verify the safety and optimality of proposed algorithm.
