This paper is concerned with stereo vision-based approach to detect obstacles and to generate the path of destination from the start. The hexapod robot in the experiment is cable of walking by legs and driving by wheels simultaneously. The hexapod robot operates under the driving mode normally, and it changes driving mode to walking mode to overcome obstacles using its legs. Disparity map, which is the correlation between two images taken by stereo camera, is employed for calculation of the distance between the robot and obstacles. When the obstacles information is extracted from the disparity map, the potential field algorithm is applied to create the obstacle-avoidance path. Simulator, based on OpenGL, is developed to generate the graphical path, and the experimental results are shown for the verification of the proposed algorithm.

This paper deals with ZMP trajectory generation in multi step walking of IWR-III(Inha Walking Robot) Biped Walking Robot. Biped walking is realized by combining 6-types of pre-defined steps and the actual ZMP can be used as a stability index of a robot. For the good tracking of actual ZMP, desired ZMP trajectory is generated during the whole walking time not for each step. Trajectory generation is performed considering velocities and accelerations of given via points using 5-th order polynomial interpolation method. As a result, balancing joints have a more smooth and continuous motion and actual ZMP has a better tracking ability. Numerical simulator is done by MATLAB to guarantee the walking of a robot satisfying the ZMP stability.

To monitor the environment and determine the source of a pollutant gradient using a multiple robot swarm, we propose a hybrid algorithm that combines two bio-inspired algorithms mimicking chemotaxis and pheromones of bacteria. The algorithm is implemented in virtual robot agents in a simulator to evaluate their feasibility and efficiency in gradient maps with different sizes. Simulation results show that the chemotaxis controller guided robot agents to the locations with higher pollutant concentrations, while the pheromone marked in a virtual field increased the efficiency of the search by reducing the visiting redundancy. The number of steps required to reach the target point did not increase proportionally as the map size increased, but were less than those in the linear whole-map search method. Furthermore, the robot agents could function with simple sensor composition, minimum information about the map, and low calculation capacity.

A fuzzy logic based mobile robot navigation system was developed to improve the driving ability without trapping inside obstacles in complex terrains, which is one of the most concerns in robot navigation in unknown terrains. The navigation system utilizes the data from ultrasonic sensors to recognize the distances from obstacles and the position information from a GPS sensor. The fuzzy navigation system has two groups of behavior rules, and the robot chooses one of them based on the information from sensors while navigating for the targets. In plain terrains the robot with the proposed algorithm uses one rule group consisting of behavior rules for avoiding obstacle, target steering, and following edge of obstacle. Once trap is detected the robot uses the other rule group consisting of behavior rules strengthened for following edge of obstacle. The output signals from navigation system control the speed of two wheels of the robot through the fuzzy logic data process. The test was conducted in the Matlab based mobile robot simulator developed in this study, and the results show that escaping ability from obstacle is improved.

본 논문은 협력작업을 수행하는 다중로보트의 동작결정을 지원하는 그래픽 시뮬레이션 시스템을 제안하였으며, 다중로보트 협력시스템을 위한 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어의 구성을 위하여 두가지의 문제를 제시하였다. 첫째, 다중로보트의 동작은 원하는 대상물의 경로와 대상물과의 고정관계를 만족하는 조건식을 이용하여 구하였으며, 다양하게 변하는 대상물의 경로를 이루어내는 다중로보트의 동작을 알아내기 위하여 한 대의 주 로보트의 동작을 이용하는 주-종방식 보다 로보트들의 동작 수정이 용이한 대상물의 경로를 이용하는 방식을 채택하였다. 또 하나의 문제는 로보트시스템의 환경변화에 대한 적응력을 높이고 소프트웨어 개발 부담을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 객체지향 프로그래밍 기법을 이용한 로보트 응용 프로그래밍 환경의 기본적인 객체들을 제시하였다. 다중로보트 시스템에 적용된 객체지향 프로그래밍 기법은 소프트웨어의 신뢰성과 재사용성 및 확장성 등의 장점들을 제공하며, 또한 로보트 응용 프로그래밍의 다양한 요구에 대응하기 위한 구조적 개념을 제공한다.

This paper presents the development of the graphic simulator for an assembly workcell. The assembly workcell consists of two PUMA 560 manipulators, a conveyor belt system, a work table, and a vision sensor. In this study, the Petri Net theory is applied to model the assembly workcell and to construct the simulator. The event scheduling approach is used to simulate the cell. In order to show the graphic display of the simulation process, robot modelling, component modelling, and world modelling are included. The developed simulator is used to display the transition of the system state during the simulation. It is also used as a tool in selection the best resource states by studying the performance of the system as the resource states are changed.

This study proposes a new approach to implimentation of robust control and torque control response analysis based on monitoring simulator for smart factory. According to the physical properties of a flexible manipulator, a two time-scale approach, namely, singular perturbation ap proach, is further utilized for thorough analysis and general controller design. It is shown that asymptotic motional tracking can be effectively achieved, whereas the force regulation errors can be made arbitrarily small. For demonstration of the proposed technology performance, experiments of a eight joint flexible manipulator are performed for the proposed control method, and the reliability of proposed control results are illustrated based on monitoring simulator.

The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has developed a teleoperated cleaning robot for use in the radioactive zone of the isolation room of the Irradiated Material Examination Facility where direct human access to the interior is strictly limited. The teleoperated cleaning robot that was designed to completely eliminate human interaction with the hazardous radioactive contaminants has five remotely replaceable submodules - a mobile module for navigation, a cleaning module for dislodging and sucking contaminated waste, a sensing module for obstacle avoidance, a collection module for storing the acquired waste, and a cover module for protecting the collection module. This cleaning robot is capable of cleaning the contaminated floor surface of the isolation room and collecting loose dry spent nuclear fuel debris and other radioactive waste fixed or scattered on the floor surface. The developed cleaning robot is operated either by a manual control or by autonomous control in conjunction with a graphical simulator, by which the human operator can monitor and intervene the robot performing cleanup tasks in the isolation room. In this paper, we present the mechanical and environmental design considerations and development of the teleoperated cleaning robot for radioactive isolation room use. We also demonstrate its mock-up performance test results from the viewpoint of a remote cleanup operation and remote maintenance.
