In the navigation for a mobile robot, the collision avoidance with unexpected obstacles is essential for the safe navigation and it is independent of the technique used to control the mobile robot. This paper presents a new collision avoidance algorithm using neural network for the safe navigation of the autonomous mobile robot equipped with CAN and ultrasonic sensors. A tracked wheeled mobile robot has a stability and an efficiency to move on a rough ground. And its mechanism is simple. However it has difficulties to recognize its surroundings. Because the shape of the tracked wheeled mobile robot is a square type, sensor modules are generally located on the each plane surface of 4 sides only. In this paper, the algorithm using neural network is proposed in order to avoid unexpected obstacles. The important character of the proposed algorithm is to be able to detect the distance and the angle of inclination of obstacles. Only using datum of the distance and the angle, informations about the location and shape of obstacles are obtained, and then the driving direction is changed. Consequently, this algorithm is capable of real time processing and available for a mobile robot which has few sensor modules or the limited sensing range such as a tracked wheeled mobile robot. Effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is illustrated through a computer simulation and an experiment using a real robot.

For a relatively small country like Korea, a radionavigation system using airships can be considered, which is to provide the navigation service utilizing the stratospheric airships that are deployed in the stratosphere at the altitude of around 20-23km, and which is an independent or a back-up radionavigation system other than current GPS or GLONASS. In this paper, a feasibility study on the constellation of stratospheric airships for the navigation system has been performed. A measure of a geometrical condition between a receiver and navigation transmitters. called the DOP (Dilution of Precision), determines the resulting positioning error of the navigation system, if the error of range measurement is predictable. Therefore, with assumption that the range measurement error of the stratospheric airship navigation system is quite similar to GPS. the several DOP values have been used to evaluate the performance of the navigation system with comparing with the DOP values of GPS as the reference values. To provide the position information of the navigation transmitters to users, a receiver cluster system fixed on the ground, called an IGPS (inverted GPS), is proposed, and the error is also evaluated using the DOP values. Five areas around five major cities in South Korea have been selected, and then by numerical simulations the DOP values are compared those of GPS to assess the performance of the proposed navigation system using stratospheric airships. The possible frequency bands have been proposed. and then link budget of the navigation transmitter has been analyzed for the proposed navigation system.

This paper addresses a hybrid control architecture for the hospital service robot, SmartHelper. In hybrid architecture, the deliberation takes place at planning layer while the reaction is dealt through the parallel execution of operations. Hence, the system presents both a hierarchical and an heterarchical decomposition, being able to show a predictable response while keeping rapid reactivity to the dynamic environment. The deliberative controller accomplishes four functions which are path generation, selection of navigation way, command and monitoring. The reactive controller uses fuzzy and potential field method for robot navigation. Through simulation under a virtual environment IGRIP, the effectiveness of the hybrid architecture is verified.

Computer-aided surgery is popular and useful in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, because of the possibility of simulation with a high accuracy. In all aspects of surgery, proper planning facilitates more predictable operative results, however before the use of virtual planning, much of this relied on 2-dimensional (2-D) imaging for treatment planning on a 3-dimensional (3-D) object and surgical trial and error. With real-time instrument positioning and clear anatomic identification, a computer-assisted navigation system (CANS) is exceptionally helpful in maxillofacial surgery. These techniques enable performing precise bony ablation and reconstruction, and also decrease surgical time and donor site defect.

This paper addresses a control architecture for the hospital service robot, SmartHelper. With a sensing-reasoning-acting paradigm, the deliberation takes place at planning layer while the reaction is dealt through the parallel execution of operations. Hence, the system presents both a hierarchical and an heterarchical decomposition, being able to show a predictable response while keeping rapid reactivity to the dynamic environment. The deliberative controller accomplishes four functions which are path generation, selection of navigation way, command and monitoring.

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including Global Positioning System (GPS) is an important element for navigation of both the military and civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Contrary to the military UAVs, the civil UAVs use the civil signals which are unencrypted, unauthenticated and predictable. Therefore if the civil signals are counterfeited, the civil UAV’s position can be manipulated and the appropriate movement of the civil UAV to the target point is not achieved. In this paper, spoofing on the autonomous navigation UAV is implemented through field experiments. Although the demanded conditions for appropriate spoofing attack exists, satisfying the conditions is restricted in real environments. So, the Way-point of the UAV is assumed to be known for experiments and assessments. Under the circumstances, GPS spoofing signal is generated based on the Software-based GNSS signal generator. The signal is emitted to the target UAV using the antenna of the spoofer and the effect of the signal is analyzed and evaluated. In conclusion, taking the UAV to the target point is hardly feasible. To implement the spoofing as expectation, the position and guidance system of the UAV has to be known. Additionally, the GPS receiver on the UAV could be checked whether it appropriately tracks the spoofing signal or not. However, the effect of the spoofing signal on the autonomous UAV has been verified and assessed through the experimental results. Spoofing signal affects the navigation system of the UAV so that the UAV goes off course or shows an abnormal operation.

Disaster mitigation, especially as a concept similar to damage mitigation caused by heavy rainfalls and flood is closely related to long-term development plan. This plan of an harbor area where is located in lower region is established and carried under consideration of disaster mitigation concept such as internal drainage and so on. Flood damage is somewhat predictable in accordance with height, stream and rainfall characteristics of the region. Therefore it is necessary to establish national and urban plan under consideration of this fact. But this consideration of existing regulation and institution is insufficient and improvement of regulation and institution is needed. This consideration of disaster mitigation fields is regulated declaratively and inclusively in national plan which is established in broad region, and specifically and detailedly in urban plan which is established in narrow region. The program to improve regulation and institution is proposed in order to consider disaster mitigation fields as a level of this plan.

선박은 충돌회피 및 변침을 목적으로 선회를 수행한다. 부적절한 화물 적재 및 선회 중 과도한 타각을 사용하면 전복사고로 이어질 수 있다. 선회 중 선박동적상태가 실시간으로 변화하기 때문에 항해사들은 선회 중 횡경사의 위험을 인지하기 어렵다. autopilot에서 추정된 조종성 지수를 이용하여 선회 중 횡경사를 예측하였다. Autopilot의 Kalman filter를 통하여 추정된 조종성 지수는 실시간으로 예측이 가능하며, 추정된 선회성 지수로부터 선회반경을 구하고 선회 중 횡경사의 계산이 가능하였다. 본 연구는 선회 중 위험횡경사 예방에 관한 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that the simulation surgery on rapid prototype (RP) model, which is based on the 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) data taken before surgery, has the same accuracy as traditional orthograthic surgery with an intermediate splint, using an optoelectronic tracking navigation system. Materials and Methods: Simulation surgery with the same treatment plan as the Le Fort I osteotomy on the patient was done on a RP model based on the 3D CT data of 12 patients who had undergone a Le Fort I osteotomy in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Seoul National University Dental Hospital. The 12 distances between 4 points on the skull, such as both infraorbital foramen and both supraorbital foramen, and 3 points on maxilla, such as the contact point of both maxillary central incisors and mesiobuccal cuspal tip of both maxillary first molars, were tracked using an optoelectronic tracking navigation system. The distances before surgery were compared to evaluate the accuracy of the RP model and the distance changes of 3D CT image after surgery were compared with those of the RP model after simulation surgery. Results: A paired t-test revealed a significant difference between the distances in the 3D CT image and RP model before surgery.(P<0.0001) On the other hand, Pearson's correlation coefficient, 0.995, revealed a significant positive correlation between the distances.(P<0.0001) There was a significant difference between the change in the distance of the 3D CT image and RP model in before and after surgery.(P<0.05) The Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.13844, indicating positive correlation.(P<0.1) Conclusion: Theses results suggest that the simulation surgery of a Le Fort I osteotomy using an optoelectronic tracking navigation system I s relatively accurate in comparing the pre-, and post-operative 3D CT data. Furthermore, the application of an optoelectronic tracking navigation system may be a predictable and efficient method in Le Fort I orthognathic surgery.

최근 내비게이션에서는 실시간 교통정보와 과거의 교통정보를 가공하여 미래의 교통정보를 예측하는 패턴 교통정보를 같이 활용하여 빠른 길을 안내해주고 있다. 그러나 현재 사용되는 패턴 교통정보는 과거의 정보를 가공하여 교통정보를 예측하기 때문에 특별한 상황(유고, 날씨 등)에서는 예측이 정확하지 않는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 빠른 길을 찾기 위해 실시간으로 운전자들이 요청하는 경로탐색 데이터를 분석하여 가까운 미래 운전자들이 위치할 도로의 교통 혼잡도를 미리 파악하여 패턴 교통정보 보다 정확한 예측 교통정보를 제시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 연구지역의 정체경로인 양재에서 마포간 차량속도 비교에서는 기존 상습정체 도로의 속도가중치 정확도가 3km/h에서 18km/h의 오차율이 발생하였지만, 본 연구의 Real 예측 교통 정보를 적용한 결과는 1km/h에서 5km/h의 오차율이 발생하였다. 둘째, 경로 품질에서 기존의 경로보다 최대 약 9분, 평균 약 3분 일찍 목적지에 도착하여 예측 교통정보 결과의 신뢰성을 입증할 수 있었다. 셋째, 기존의 경로탐색 결과 보다 혼잡도를 미리 예측하여 혼잡이 발생할 도로에 대해 회피되는 경로탐색 결과를 도출할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과의 경로탐색 비교를 통해 교통량에 대한 예측정보를 획득할 수 있었으며 이를 활용하여 실시간 빠른 길 탐색이 가능하고, 향후 교통 흐름을 분산 시키는데도 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
