현재 지능화 된 협동로봇의 사용자 추종 방법은 비젼 시스템 기반 및 라이다를 이용한 사례가 일반적이고 성능도 우수하다. 그러나 2020년 전세계로 확산된 코로나19 사태에 폐쇄된 공간에서 의료진과 협동을 위한 로봇의 활약은 미흡한 실정이였다. 그 이유는 의료진들은 바이러스 감염 방지를 위하여 모두 방호복을 입고 있어 기존 연구된 기술로는 적용이 쉽지 않기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 초음파 센서를 송신부와 수신부로 분리하여 이를 바탕으로 사용자의 위치를 추정하고 능동적으로 모바일 플랫폼이 사람을 따라다니며 협동 할 수 있는 기법을 제안하였다. 그러나 초음파센서는 경면반사 및 수, 발신 간 통신 단락으로 인한 불규칙 오차가 발생하고, 오차를 줄이기 위해 메디안 필터 일부 개선하여 적용하였으며 협소한 공간에서 원활한 작업 수행을 위해 곡률궤적을 적용해 주행기술을 향상시켰다. 실험 결과 메디안 필터 전, 후 거리, 각도의 오차는 약 70% 감소하였으며 'S', '8'자 코스 주행을 통해 주행 안정성을 확인하였다.

이 논문에서는 자율 이동 로봇을 구성하기 위한 핵심 요소 기술에 대하여 비용 효율적인 시스템 디자인과 사용자 편의성에 맞춘 설계 방법을 제안한다. 자율 이동 로봇을 사용하여 고정밀 측위 시스템을 구현하고자, NTRIP(Network Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol) 클라이언트 기능이 포팅된 리눅스 기반의 VRS(virtual reference station)-RTK(real-time kinematic)-GNSS(global navigation satellite system) 시스템을 구축한다. 특히, RTK 리플레이 시스템을 사용하지 않고, 구축된 시스템의 동적 위치 분석을 통하여 GNSS 측위 시스템 구축 비용을 절감하였다. 동적 위치 분석은 자율 이동 로봇의 궤적 추종 시, 각 지점들을 샘플링하여 그라운드 트루스(ground-truth) 지점과의 위치 정밀도를 비교 측정하는 방식으로 이루어진다. 해당 시스템은 빠른 샘플링 시간 대비 높은 측위 성능을 확보하며, 사용자 편의성을 고려하여 GPS-웨이포인트(waypoint) 시스템을 제안한다. cm 수준의 정밀 GNSS 정보는 30Hz의 샘플링 속도로 제공되며, 추측 항법(dead reckoning) 기능의 지원으로 고층 빌딩과 밀집된 숲을 통과할 때도 유효한 정보를 보장한다. 제안된 시스템을 통한 수평 위치 오륫값은 6.7cm로 측정되며, 10cm 이내의 매우 정밀한 동적 위치 측정 오류를 나타낸다. 높은 표본화 속도로 정밀한 동적 위치 정보를 제공하는 VRS 네트워크-RTK 리눅스 시스템은 사용자의 편의성을 위하여 GPS 웨이포인트 플래너 기능을 지원하여 GPS 정보를 기반으로 쉽게 목적지를 설정하도록 구현되었다.

The redundancy resolution of the seven DOF (Degree of Freedom) upper limb exoskeleton is key to the synchronous motion between a robot and a human user. According to the seven DOF human arm model, positioning and orientating the wrist can be completed by multiple arm configurations that results in the non-unique solution to the inverse kinematics. This paper presents analysis on the kinematic and dynamic aspect of the human arm movement and its effect on the redundancy resolution of the seven DOF human arm model. The redundancy of the arm is expressed mathematically by defining the swivel angle. The final form of swivel angle can be represented as a linear combination of two different swivel angles achieved by optimizing two cost functions based on kinematic and dynamic criteria. The kinematic criterion is to maximize the projection of the longest principal axis of the manipulability ellipsoid of the human arm on the vector connecting the wrist and the virtual target on the head region. The dynamic criterion is to minimize the mechanical work done in the joint space for each of two consecutive points along the task space trajectory. The contribution of each criterion on the redundancy was verified by the post processing of experimental data collected with a motion capture system. Results indicate that the bimodal redundancy resolution approach improved the accuracy of the predicted swivel angle. Statistical testing of the dynamic constraint contribution shows that under moderate speeds and no load, the dynamic component of the human arm is not dominant, and it is enough to resolve the redundancy without dynamic constraint for the realtime application.

To achieve synchronized motion between a wearable robot and a human user, the redundancy must be resolved in the same manner by both systems. According to the seven DOF (Degrees of Freedom) human arm model composed of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints, positioning and orientating the wrist in space is a task requiring only six DOFs. Due to this redundancy, a given task can be completed by multiple arm configurations, and thus there exists no unique mathematical solution to the inverse kinematics. This paper presents analysis on the kinematic and dynamic aspect of the human arm movement and their effect on the redundancy resolution of the human arm based on a seven DOF manipulator model. The redundancy of the arm is expressed mathematically by defining the swivel angle. The final form of swivel angle can be represented as a linear combination of two different swivel angles achieved by optimizing different cost functions based on kinematic and dynamic criteria. The kinematic criterion is to maximize the projection of the longest principal axis of the manipulability ellipsoid for the human arm on the vector connecting the wrist and the virtual target on the head region. The dynamic criterion is to minimize the mechanical work done in the joint space for each two consecutive points along the task space trajectory. As a first step, the redundancy based on the kinematic criterion will be thoroughly studied based on the motion capture data analysis. Experimental results indicate that by using the proposed redundancy resolution criterion in the kinematic level, error between the predicted and the actual swivel angle acquired from the motor control system is less than five degrees.

The purpose of this study is to verify the energy efficiency of the integrated system combining human and a lower extremity exoskeleton robot when it is applied to the proposed gait pattern. Energy efficient gait pattern of the lower limb was proposed through leg function distribution during stance phase and the dynamic-manipulability ellipsoid (DME). To verify the feasibility and effect of the redefined gait trajectory, simulations and experiments were conducted under the conditions of walking on level ground and ascending and descending from a staircase. Experiments to calculate the metabolic cost of the human body with or without the assistance of the exoskeleton were conducted. The energy consumption of the lower extremity exoskeleton was assessed, with the aim of improving the efficiency of the integrated system.

The fusion of the GPS (Global Positioning System) and DR (Dead Reckoning) is widely used for position and latitude estimation of vehicles such as a mobile robot, aerial vehicle and marine vehicle. Among the many types of aerial vehicles, grater focus is given on the quad-rotor and accuracy of the position information is becoming more important. In order to exactly estimate the position information, we propose the fusion method of GPS and Gyroscope sensor using the DEKF (Dual Extended Kalman Filter). The DEKF has an advantage of simultaneously estimating state value and a parameter of dynamical system. It can also be used even if state value is not available. In order to analyze the performance of DEKF, the computer simulation for estimating the position, the velocity and the angle in a circle trajectory of quad-rotor was done. As it can be seen from the simulation results using own proposed DEKF instead of EKF on own fusion method in the navigation of a quad-rotor gave better performance values.

This paper describes design of a robotic above-knee prosthetic leg which is powered by electrical motors. As a special feature, the robotic prosthetic leg has enough D.O.F.s. For mimicking the human leg, the robotic prosthetic leg is composed of five joints. Three of them are called 'active joint' which is driven by electrical motors. They are placed at the knee-pitch-axis, the ankle-pitch-axis, and the an! kle-roll-axis. Every 'active joint' has enough torque capacity to overcome ground reaction forces for walking and is backlashless for accurate motion generation and high-performance balance control. Other two joints are called 'passive joint' which is activating by torsion spring. They are placed at the toe part and designed by Crank-rocker mechanism using kinematic design approach. In order to verify working performance of the robotic prosthetic leg, we designed a gait trajectory through motion capture technique and experimentally applied it to the robot.

High precision of planning in the preoperative phase can contribute to increase operational safety during computer-aided spinal fusion surgery, which requires extreme caution on the part of the surgeon, due to the complexity and delicacy of the procedure. In this paper, an advanced preoperative planning framework for spinal fusion is presented. The framework is based on spinal pedicle data obtained from CT (Computed Tomography) images, and provides optimal insertion trajectories and pedicle screw sizes. The proposed approach begins with safety margin estimation for each potential insertion trajectory that passes through the pedicle volume, followed by procedures to collect a set of insertion trajectories that satisfy operation safety objectives. The radius of a pedicle screw was chosen as 70% of the pedicle radius. This framework has been tested on 68 spinal pedicles of 8 patients requiring spinal fusion. It was successfully applied, resulting in an average success rate of 100% and a final safety margin of $2.44{\pm}0.51mm$.
