  • This paper analyzes the four game physics engines in terms of real time techniques. Real time physics is the technology that simplifies the physics-based simulation to apply for the real time applications such as game. Our study includes two commercial physics engines, Havok's Physics SDK and NVIDIA's PhysX SDK, and two open source projects, Open Dynamics Engine and Bullet physics engine. As a result, most of them covers rigid body dynamics and some include either deformable body simulation or fluids simulation, or both. For real time simulation, they adopt the simplified numerical methods, the effective in collision detection/response, and also use the parallel processing hardwares, i.e., multi core CPU, Physics processing unit(PPU), or graphics processing unit(GPU).

  • Augmented Reality (AR) is a useful technology for various industrial systems. This paper suggests a new playground system which uses markerless AR technology. We developed a virtual playground system that can learn physics and kinematics from the physical play of people. The virtual playground is a space in which real scenes and CG are mixed. As for the CG objects, physics of the real world is used. This is realized by a physics engine. Therefore it is necessary to analyze information from cameras, so that CG reflects the real world. Various games options are possible using real world images and physics simulation in the virtual playground. We think that the system is effective for education. Because CG behaves according to physics simulation, users can learn physics and kinematics from the system. We think that the system can take its place in the field of education through entertainment.

  • A mobile manipulator is capable of handling a wide range of workspaces by overcoming the limitations of mobility inherent in existing fixed-base manipulators. To simulate the mobile manipulator, two contact operations should be considered in the physics engines. One of these operations is the grasp stability between the gripper and the object, while the other involves the contact between the wheels of the mobile robot and the ground during driving. However, it is still difficult to choose an appropriate physics engine for simulating these contact operations of the mobile manipulator. In this paper, the performance of physics engines for simulating the mobile manipulator is evaluated. Firstly, the grasp stability of the physics engine is quantitatively evaluated based on the contact force discontinuity. Secondly, when the mobile robot is controlled by open or closed-loop control methods, differences in the path taken by the mobile robot depending on the physics engine are analyzed. To assess the performance of robot simulation, three dynamic simulators-MuJoCo, CoppeliaSim, and IsaacSim-are used along with five physics engines: MuJoCo, Newton, ODE, Bullet, and PhysX.

  • A graphic simulator is efficient to see what will happen to the target robot. But it is not exactly same as the real world. Because there are so many physical laws to be concerned. In this paper, we propose a simulator with physics engine to create motions for quadruped robot. It is not only to show more real simulations but also to be more efficient for teaching motions to quadruped robot. To solve the quadruped robot's dynamics or inverse kinematics, It takes much times and hard effort. Using physics engine make it easy to setup motions without calculating inverse kinematics or dynamics.

  • As a software component for computer game, the physics engine simulates objects' movement according to the laws of physics. This paper introduces a design and implementation of mobile game on the Android platform, where we used JBox2D physics engine library and Android graphics APIs. We borrowed the key idea of this game from Crayon Physics which is known as a famous PC game. This game starts with no way from user character to destination character. The game user has to make a way to destination character from user character by creating polygon objects between them. The user wins when user character meets destination character. However, the game user has to decide the time to create objects and their shapes well because all objects in this game are governed by the laws of physics. As an important thing of this paper, we introduced into this game new input methods of LCD touch and sensors embedded in mobile devices but not in PCs. Game users can create objects by drawing polygons with LCD touch and move objects or characters according to sensor values from accelerator sensors by tilting the mobile device.

  • This paper describes research on intelligent game character through performance enhancements of physics engine in computer games. The algorithm that recognizes the physics situation uses momentum back-propagation neural networks. Also, we present an experiment and its results, integration methods that display optimum performance based on the physics situation. In this experiment on integration methods, the Euler method was shown to produce the best results in terms of fps in a simulation environment with collision detection. Simulation with collision detection was shown similar fps for all three methods and the Runge-kutta method was shown the greatest accuracy. In the experiment on physics situation recognition, a physics situation recognition algorithm where the number of input layers (number of physical parameters) and output layers (destruction value for the master car) is fixed has shown the best performance when the number of hidden layers is 3 and the learning count number is 30,000. Since we tested with rigid bodies only, we are currently studying efficient physics situation recognition for soft body objects.

  • Due to environmental regulations (RoHS, WEEE and ELV) of the European Union, electronics and automotive electronics have to eliminate toxic substance from their devices and system. Especially, reliability issue of lead-free solder joint is increasing in car electronics due to ELV (End-of-Life Vehicle) banning from 2016. We have prepared engine control unit (ECU) modules soldered with Sn-40Pb and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solders, respectively. Degradation characteristics of solder joint strength were compared with various conditions of automobile environment such as cabin and engine room. Thermal cycle test (TC, $-40^{\circ}C$ ~ ($85^{\circ}C$ and $125^{\circ}C$), 1500 cycles) were conducted with automotive company standard. To compare shear strength degradation rate with eutectic and Pb-free solder alloy, we measured shear strength of chip components and its size from cabin and engine ECU modules. Based on the TC test results, finally, we have known the difference of degradation level with solder alloys and use environmental conditions. Solder joints degradation rate of engine room ECU is superior to cabin ECU due to large CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) mismatch in field condition. Degradation rate of engine room ECU is 50~60% larger than cabin room electronics.
