  • In this study, a plastic bottle recycling bin system that utilizes an infrared sensor was implemented. The proposed system consists of a recognition unit, a control unit, an alarm unit, and a driving unit. The recognition unit detects the plastic bottle, measures the distance between the plastic bottle and the infrared sensor, extracts the value of the bottle, compares the extracted value with a standard range, and then transmits the control value to the control unit if the extracted value of the bottle is outside the standard range. In this case, the result of the presence or absence of a brand label or bottle cap is transmitted to the controller. The control unit opens the entrance of the recycling bin or alerts the alarm unit according to the result value transmitted from the sensor unit. In order to implement the proposed system, the recognition unit was implemented with an infrared sensor, and the control unit was made with an Arduino IDE controller, based on the C programming language. Additionally, the recognition unit and the control unit are able to communicate using analog signals. The proposed system accurately judges the presence or absence of a brand label and bottle cap of plastic bottles according to a predetermined algorithm. It then blocks the entrance of the recycling bin when a brand label or bottle cap is still attached. As the amount of waste discharged per person is relatively high and the majority of such waste is incinerated rather than recycled, the system proposed in this study is expected to increase the recycling rate of plastic bottles.

  • In this paper, we propose Total RMS(Radiation Monitoring System) for nuclear and nuclear medicine. The proposed system can expand and control Stack Monitor, Area Monitor, and Water(Liquid) Monitor into one system, and can monitor the signals measured by each radiation detector in an integrated manner. The proposed system consists of a sensor module that detects the radiation, a display unit that displays the radiation dose near the radiation detection location, an alarm unit that reports the alarm when the detected radiation dose reaches the danger level, A Main Hub for collecting and storing the contents to the remote monitoring system, and an RMS Monitoring Unit for clearly displaying the measured radiation dose at the remote site. In order to evaluate the performance of Total RMS for the proposed nuclear and nuclear medicine field, it is confirmed that the measurement uncertainty is less than 8.5% and it operates normally within ${\pm}15%$ of the international standard.

  • Demand for high-rising building has arisen. However, its maintenance is usually executed by labour. It could have a severe problem. We proposed a gondola robot to solve it. In this paper, we designed a height estimation sensor for this gondola. It is consist of pan-tilt unit, ARS sensor, and laser sensor. The pan-tilt unit keeps the laser sensor to indicate the gravity direction by referencing the ARS. The laser sensor's range is vertical distance from gondola to ground. However, if there is an obstacle under the gondola, the distance includes its height. To filter it out, we apply a Kalman filter for the height estimation. If the estimated height is changed extremely, the filter decides that there is an obstacle. Then, it remembers the height of obstacle. Other extreme changes of height estimations are reflected. The experimental results using the proposed sensor system show detail flow of the height estimation.

  • We have developed the FDSS (Fine Digital Sun Sensor) for the space technology of the STSAT-2 (Seience & Technology Satellite 2). The FDSS is firstly developed by using CMOS image sensor(CIS) in South Korea. The FDSS consists of the optics part, FPGA(Field Programable Gate Array) part, and MCU(Micro controller unit)part. This paper will focus on the optical characteristics of the optics part and describe the configuration of FDSS with the design of aperture. We also analyze the characteristic of optics about the pixel of the CMOS image sensor.

  • In this paper, a folding sensor based on capacitance is proposed. The sensor was developed to sense the length and angle data for the milli-scale actuators without causing any interference to the actuating joints. For the sensing and testing the robotic joint with reducing the cost and complexity aspects of manufacturing, a simple composition was adopted. The sensor comprises a pair of copper tapes, papers, and wires. The complete sensing unit is constructed by bonding the tapes with the papers and soldering the wire to the copper parts. For accuracy, a teensy 4.0 board, which has a 12-bit ADC resolution, is employed. Furthermore, the sensed analog data is not translated into the unit of capacitance for accuracy; however, it is filtered using a low-pass filter and subsequently, a Butter-worth filter. The data obtained demonstrate a periodic waveform, which implies that the data are in good agreement with the hypothesis set prior to the experiments. Compared to other milli-scale sensors, this could be a better option for sensing the length and angle data for milliscale actuators.
