This paper proposes a robot driving system and sensor implementation for use with an education robot. This robot has multiple functions and was designed so that children could use it with interest and ease. The robot recognizes the location of a user and follows that user at a specific distance when the robot and user communicate with each other. In this work, the robot was designed and manufactured to evaluate its performance. In addition, an embedded board was installed with the purpose of communicating with a smart phone, and a camera mounted on the robot allowed it to monitor the environment. To allow the robot to follow a moving user, a set of sensors combined with an RF module and ultrasonic sensors were adopted to measure the distance between the user and the robot. With the help of this ultrasonic sensors arrangement, the location of the user couldbe identified in all directions, which allowed the robot to follow the moving user at the desired distance. Experiments were carried out to see how well the user's location could be recognized and to investigate how accurately the robot trackedthe user, which eventually yielded a satisfactory performance.

본 논문에서는 카메라폰용 광학줌(Optical zooming)과 자동초점조절장치(Auto Focusing, AF)에 쓰일 초음파모터를 제작하였다. 초음파모터의 제작 및 시뮬레이션은 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ATILA 5.2.1(Magsoft)를 사용하여 디자인설계에 따른 구동특성을 고찰하였고 세자된 초음파모터는 한쪽 면이 없는 사자형의 탄성체를 제작하였으며 탄성체의 양쪽 다리에 각각 압전체를 부착하였다. 또한 압전세라믹의 조성은 $0.9Pb(Zr_{0.51}Ti_{0.49})O_3$-$0.1Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{1/3}Sb_{1/3})O_3$의 조성으로 설계하였고 시편의 제조는 7-layer로 적층하였다. 제작된 압전세라믹의 치수는 $6*2*0.35mm^3$ (길이*폭*두께)로 제작하였다. 또한 탄성체의 외형치수는 $10*10*2mm^3$ 제작하였으며 두께를 각각 0.3[mm], 0.5[mm], 0.8[mm]으로 변화시키며 제작하였다. 두께가 0.8[mm]인 경우 공진주파수 60.5[kHz]를 나타내었으며 초음파모터의 압전세라믹에 인가전압이 증가함에 따라 회전속도와 모터에 흐르는 전류는 증가하였다. 인가전압이 40[Vpp], 공진주파수는 60.5[kHz]일때 무게추를 달고 그때의 토크 및 효율을 측정하였다. 회전 속도는 토크가 증가함에 따라 거의 선형적으로 감소하였으며 효율은 토크에 따라 증가하다가 토크가 약 20(mNmm)일 때 약 28[%]로 최대치를 나타내었다.

In this research, the optimal grinding condition has been obtained by design of experiment (DOE) fur the development of aspheric lens for the 3 Mega Pixel, 2.5x optical zoom camera-phone module. Also, the tungsten carbide (WC) mold was processed by the method of ultra precision grinding under this optimal grinding condition. The influence of diamond-liked carbon (DLC) coating on form accuracy (PV) and surface roughness (Ra) of the mold was evaluated through measurements after DCL coating using ion plating on the ground mold. Also, aspheric glass lenses were molded, some before DLC coating of the mold and some after the DLC coating. The optical characteristics of each sample, molded by the different molds, were compared with each other.

Recently, aspheric glass lens molding core is fabricated with tungsten carbide(WC). If molding core is fabricated with silicon carbide(SiC), SiC coating process, which must be carried out before the Diamond-Like Carbon(DLC) coating can be eliminated and thus, manufacturing time and cost can be reduced. Diamond Like Carbon(DLC) is being researched in various fields because of its high hardness, high elasticity, high durability, and chemical stability and is used extensively in several industrial fields. Especially, the DLC coating of the molding core surface used in the fabrication of a glass lens is an important technical field, which affects the improvement of the demolding performance between the lens and molding core during the molding process and the molding core lifetime. Because SiC is a material of high hardness and high brittleness, it can crack or chip during grinding. It is, however, widely used in many fields because of its superior mechanical properties. In this paper, the grinding condition for silicon carbide(SiC) was developed under the grinding condition of tungsten carbide. A silicon carbide molding core was fabricated under this grinding condition. The measurement results of the SiC molding core were as follows: PV of 0.155 ${\mu}m$(apheric surface) and 0.094 ${\mu}m$(plane surface), Ra of 5.3 nm(aspheric surface) and 5.5 nm(plane surface).

최근 고화질 카메라폰이 경박단소화 되는 경향에 따라 Plastic렌즈 또는 구면 Glass렌즈만으로는 요구되는 광학적 성능 구현이 힘들기 때문에 비구면 Glass렌즈에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 비구면 Glass렌즈는 일반적으로 초경합금 성형용 코어를 이용한 고온압축 성형방식으로 제작되어지기 때문에 코어면의 초정밀 연삭가공 및 코어면 코팅기술 개발이 시급한 상황이다. 한편, 대표적인 난삭재 Silicon Carbide(SiC)는 광학적 특성 및 기계적 특성, 전기적 특성 등 우수한 특성을 가진 재료로서 우주망원경, 레이저 광 및 X선 반사용 미러 등 다종, 다양한 용도로 이용되고 있으며 전기, 전자, 정보, 정밀기기의 급격한 발전으로 SiC의 수요가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 비구면 Glass렌즈 성형용 코어를 SiC소재로 제작할 경우 성형용 코어의 수명향상, 렌즈 생산원가의 절감 및 코팅 과정의 간소화 등의 다양한 장점을 가지므로 SiC를 이용한 성형용 코어의 나노 정밀도급 초정밀 연삭가공기술의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 3 메가픽셀, 2.5배 광학 줌 카메라폰 모듈용 비구면 Glass렌즈 개발을 목적으로 실험계획법을 적용하여 초경합금 성형용 코어의 연삭조건을 규명하였다. 초경합금 비구면 성형용 코어의 초정밀 연삭가공조건 및 결과를 바탕으로 난삭재인 Silicon Cabide(SiC)의 연삭가공조건을 구하고 이를 이용하여 비구면 Glass렌즈 성형용 코어를 초정밀 연삭가공하였다.

In this paper, we propose an unmanned vehicle scratch detection deep learning model for car sharing services. Conventional scratch detection models consist of two steps: 1) a deep learning module for scratch detection of images before and after rental, 2) a manual matching process for finding newly generated scratches. In order to build a fully automatic scratch detection model, we propose a one-step unmanned scratch detection deep learning model. The proposed model is implemented by applying transfer learning and fine-tuning to the deep learning model that detects changes in satellite images. In the proposed car sharing service, specular reflection greatly affects the scratch detection performance since the brightness of the gloss-treated automobile surface is anisotropic and a non-expert user takes a picture with a general camera. In order to reduce detection errors caused by specular reflected light, we propose a preprocessing process for removing specular reflection components. For data taken by mobile phone cameras, the proposed system can provide high matching performance subjectively and objectively. The scores for change detection metrics such as precision, recall, F1, and kappa are 67.90%, 74.56%, 71.08%, and 70.18%, respectively.
