In this paper, a novel feasible real-time system was researched for a differential driven wheeled autonomous mobile robot so that the mobile robot can move in a smooth, safe and elegant way. Least Square Minimum Path Planning was well used for the system to generate a smooth executable path for the mobile robot, and the point-to-point tracking algorithm was presented as well as its application in arbitrary path tracking. In order to make sure the robot can run elegantly and safely, trapezoidal speed was integrated into the point-to-point path tracking algorithm. The application to guest following for the autonomous mobile robot shows its wide application of the algorithm. The novel design was successfully proved to be feasible by our experiments on our mobile robot Interactive Robot Usher (IRU) in National University of Singapore.

These days, up-to-date humanoid robots are continuously developed. Among them, Qrio, Asimo[1,2] are famous for its unique walking technology and natural movement. These robots could show manufacturers' technological improvement and leave a good impression to the customer. In accordance with global trends, Samsung is also producing humanoid robot. The humanoid robot, however, could walk like a human compared to the industrial robot fixed in the factory. This feature could cause another dynamic effect while walking. In this paper, the robot's feet were examined to find out parameters that affect stability of the humanoid robot's feet. With the sensitivity analysis, the optimization procedure in design of experiments finds the most suitable performance of robot. Maximum deflection of the frame upon various cases was minimized, and rubber coefficients for shock absorption were optimized.

This paper presents the development of a simulator for an industrial robot. The simulator is characterized by a fully integrated dynamic model and a hardware oriented control scheme. The dynamic model includes the actuator dynamics as well as the manipulator dynamics to integrate the entire dynamics of the robot system. On the other hand, the control scheme is oriented as a hardware structure which is usually implemented in the industrial robot. That is to say, a conventional PI control law is used to regulate the position, the speed, and the current. A Pulse Wave Modulation (PWM)generator modulates the supplied voltage to the actuator. Since the simulator is consistent with the industrial robot system, it provides the essential design concepts for the development process of the robot. In practice, the simulator is applied to the SCARA robot which has been developed in GSIS. Here, it investigates the characteristics and performance of the robot with changing design parameters. Thus, the investigation furnishes criteria for the selection of acfuator, control gain, trajectory planning, etc.

In this paper, a wall climbing robot, called LAVAR, is developed, which is using an impeller for adhering. The adhesion mechanism of the robot consists of an impeller and two-layered suction seals which provide sufficient adhesion force for the robot body on the non smooth vertical wall and horizontal ceiling. The robot uses two driving-wheels and one ball-caster to maneuver the wall surface. A suspension mechanism is also used to overcome the obstacles on the wall surface. For its design, the whole adhering mechanism is analyzed and the control system is built up based on this analysis. The performances of the robot are experimentally verified on the vertical and horizontal flat surfaces.

Moving robot is divided 2 kinds; one is the robot using wheels and the other has leg structure. On plat terrain, the former is better than the latter because it has fast speed and simple method to control. But on non-plat terrain, the situation is reversed. The robot using legs has slow speed but it has advantage to adjust various environments. This robot is expected to contribute to human in many fields such as rescue and exploration and so on. So walking robot is worth enough to research. In this paper, we present the design of 4-legged walking robot based on Jansen mechanism using m-Sketch and Edison Designer.

In this paper, we propose a design and development of instructional cards to understand the grammar of coding, solving the problems and extending the computational thinking in the robot-driven environment. First, we designed the input/output module of the robot to process the coding grammar through the function analysis of the robot. And we designed the module of command card to learn coding grammar using color sensors. We have proven the validity of the designed instruction card by examining the experts to see if it is suitable for coding grammar learning. Designed robot and command card were developed with 28 cards and sensor robot. After applying the developed robot and command card to the elementary school students, the questionnaire showed that students grow the understanding and confidence of coding. In addition, students showed an increased need for programming learning.

Nowadays, as many robots are developed for desktop, users interact with the robots based on speech. However, due to technical limitations related to speech-based interaction, an alternative is needed. We designed this research to design a robot that interacts with the user by using unconditional reflection of biological signals. In order to apply bio-signals to robots more effectively, we evaluated the robots' overall service evaluation, perceived intelligence, appropriateness, trustworthy, and sociability according to the degree of the robot's embodiment level and the response speed of the robot. The result showed that in terms of intelligence and appropriateness, 3D robot with higher embodiment level was more positively evaluated than 2D robot with lower embodiment level. Also, the robot with faster response rate was evaluated more favorably in overall service evaluation, intelligence, appropriateness, trustworthy, and sociability than the robot with slower response rate. In addition, in service evaluation, trustworthy, and sociability, there were interaction effects according to the robot's embodiment level and the response speed.

In this paper, a design method for a logistics transportation robot based on a modular conveyor rack and path planning considering the environment of a logistics center is proposed. The driving part of the logistics transportation robot is designed and the working method of lifter for the transportation function is explained. The design of the modular conveyor rack is also described and an algorithm for a logistics transportation robot using a modular conveyor rack is suggested. The $A^*$ algorithm is improved by using the concept of rotation cost and the initial state of the transportation robot's characteristics. We experimented with a four-step transportation algorithm for a logistics transportation robot using a modular conveyor rack and showed that the proposed method can be used successfully in a logistics center. In addition, we verified the effectiveness of the improved $A^*$ algorithm considering the rotation cost and the initial state of the robot.
