본 논문에서는 4족 보행 로봇의 제작을 위한 4족 보행 로봇 시뮬레이터를 구성한다. 우선 제작하고자 하는 4족 보행 로봇의 기구학 모델링은 순기구학 모델과 역기구학 모델을 유도하며 역기구학 모델은 기하학적 방법을 이용한다. 한편 구성된 시뮬레이터에서는 유도한 4족 보행 로봇의 모델을 이용한 보행 패턴 생성 등은 PC에서 연산하며 연산된 값은 4족 보행 로봇의 컨트롤러를 이용하여 각 모터에 전송 가능하며, 이때 PC와 제어기 사이의 통신은 지그비(Zigbee)를 이용한 무선 통신을 사용한다. 또한 모든 연산 과정 및 실제 시뮬레이터 구성은 MATLAB을 이용한다. 마지막으로, 기존 걸음새 패턴 생성 방법을 이용 하여 구성된 4족 보행 로봇 시뮬레이터의 효용성을 검증하였다.

This paper describes the procedure of kinmatic design of a quadruped walking machine which has better mobility and higher energy efficiency than the wheeled or tracked vehicles on the rough terrain. Specifically, this paper puts much emphasis on the procedure and its rationality of the design of the leg which is the key mechanical element of the walking robot. And it shows the appropriateness of the selected mechanism and the design method through the walking experiment of the prototype machine built upon the resulted design. The pantograph mechanisms are proved to be acceptable as the leg of the walking machine from the experiment even though it is indicated that the walking speed and the body deflection should be improved further. This paper also describes the problems of the realization of the gait the frictional effects along with their causes in the walking experiment.

An image-reconstruction technology, involving the deployment of an unmanned mobility equipped with high-speed LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) has been proposed to reconstruct the shape of abandoned mine. Unmanned mobility operation is remarkably useful in abandoned mines fraught with operational difficulties including, but not limited to, obstacles, sludge, underwater and narrow tunnel with the diameter of 1.5 m or more. For cases of real abandoned mines, quadruped robots, quadcopter drones and underwater drones are respectively deployed on land, air, and water-filled sites. In addition to the advantage of scanning the abandoned mines with 2D solid-state lidar sensors, rotation of radiation at an inclination angle offers an increased efficiency for simultaneous reconstruction of mineshaft shapes and detecting obstacles. Sensor and robot posture were used for computing rotation matrices that helped compute geographical coordinates of the solid-state lidar data. Next, the quadruped robot scanned the actual site to reconstruct tunnel shape. Lastly, the optimal elements necessary to increase utility in actual fields were found and proposed.
