This paper deals with determination of motions of a humanoid robot using genetic algorithm. A humanoid robot has some problems of the structural instability basically. So, we have to consider the stable walking gait in gait planning. Besides, it is important to make the smoothly optimal gait for saving the electric power. A mobile robot has a battery to move autonomously. But a humanoid robot needs more electric power in order to drive many joints. So, if movements of walking joints don't maintain optimally, it is difficult for a robot to have working time for a long time. Also, if a gait trajectory doesn't have optimal state, the expected life span of joints tends to be decreased. To solve these problems, the genetic algorithm is employed to guarantee the optimal gait trajectory. The fitness functions in a genetic algorithm are introduced to find out optimal trajectory, which enables the robot to have the less reduced jerk of joints and get smooth movement. With these all process accomplished by a PC-based program, the optimal solution could be obtained from the simulation. In addition, we discuss the design consideration for the joint motion and distributed computation of the humanoid, ISHURO, and suggest its result such as the structure of the network and a disturbance observer.

This article describes a simple method for generating the walking trajectory for the biped humanoid robot. The method used a simple inverted model instead of complex multi-mass model and a reasonable explanation for the model simplification is included. The problem of gait trajectory generation is to find the solution from the desired ZMP trajectory to CoG trajectory. This article presents the analytic solution for the bipedal gait generation on the bases of ZMP trajectory. The presented ZMP trajectory has Fourier series form, which has finite or infinite summation of sine and cosine functions, and ZMP trajectory can be designed by calculating the coefficients. From the designed ZMP trajectory, this article focuses on how to find the CoG trajectory with analytical way from the simplified inverted pendulum model. Time segmentation based approach is adopted for generating the trajectories. The coefficients of the function should be designed to be continuous between the segments, and the solution is found by calculating the coefficients with this connectivity conditions. This article also has the proof and the condition of solution existence.

In this paper, we propose an optimal trajectory for biped robots to move up-and-down stairs using a genetic algorithm and a computed-torque control for biped robots to be dynamically stable. First, a Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) which of operators are composed of reproduction, crossover and mutation is used to minimize the total energy. Constraints are divided into equalities and inequalities: Equality constraints consist of a position condition at the start and end of a step period and repeatability conditions related to each joint angle and angular velocity. Inequality constraints include collision avoidance conditions of a swing leg at the face and edge of a stair, knee joint conditions with respect to the avoidance of the kinematic singularity, and the zero moment point condition with respect to the stability into the going direction. In order to approximate a gait, each joint angle trajectory is defined as a 4-th order polynomial of which coefficients are chromosomes. The effectiveness of the proposed optimal trajectory is shown in computer simulations with a 6-dof biped robot that consists of seven links in the sagittal plane. The trajectory is more efficient than that generated by the modified GCIPM. And various trajectories generated by the proposed GA method are analyzed in a viewpoint of the consumption energy: walking on even ground, ascending stairs, and descending stairs.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare task-oriented balance training on stable and unstable surfaces in terms of the fall risk, balance, and gait abilities in patients with stroke. METHODS: Twenty patients with stroke were divided randomly into a stable surface group (SSG, N=10) or unstable surface group (USG, N=10). The participants in the SSG and USG performed task-oriented balance training on stable and unstable surfaces, respectively. All participants were evaluated using the Tetrax, Berg balance scale (BBS), and 10-meter walking test (10MWT) before and after the intervention. Both groups received training 30 min per day, five times per week, for six weeks. RESULTS: The within-group changes in the fall risk, BBS, and 10MWT were significantly different in both USG and SSG (p<.05). USG showed significantly more improvement in the BBS and 10MWT compared to SSG (p<.05). CONCLUSION: Task-oriented balance training on an unstable surface is more beneficial in improving the balance and gait abilities of stroke patients.

박테리오 파아지 T7 RNA 중합효소는 다른 RNA 중합효소와 비교하여 볼 때 보조인자 없이 전사를 진행하는 하나의 subunit로 구성된 RNA 중합효소이다. 전사 진행 단계 중에서 T7 RNA 중합효소의 전사연장을 연구하기 위해 biotin이 결합된 DNA 주형을 streptavidin bead로 고정시킴으로서 T7 RNA 중합효소의 진행과정을 관찰할 수 있었고, 이러한 기작을 이용하여 일련의 활성을 가지는 가장 안정한 전사연장복합체들을 얻을 수 있었다. 전사 연장체들은 16번 염기 위치로부터 18번 염기의 위치까지 방사선 동위원소가 표지되어 있으며 이들 표지된 전사연장복합체들은 단계별로 합성하여 22-40개 핵산잔기들이 합성된 전사연장복합체들을 얻을 수 있었다. 이와 같은 전사연장복합체들을 PTH 전사종결 부위가 있는 주형으로 사용하여 야생형 및 R173C 돌연변이 RNA 중합효소를 이용하여 전사연장복합체를 제조하여 비교한 결과 PTH 전사종결에 둔감한 R173C 돌연변이 중합효소의 경우 야생형에 비해 PTH 전사종결부위를 지난 위치에서도 전사연장복합체가 생성되었다.

Biped robot has better mobility than other mobile robot, but it is hard to maintain balance during walking. In order to maintain balance, stability analysis is a key point for a biped robot. The zero moment point analysis has been used most in stability analysis. In this paper, we propose different method of stability analysis using wrench system. It is possible to generate a wrench system by applying a force along an axis in space and simultaneously applying a moment about the same axis. Wrench system is equivalent to a force and moment applied along the same axis. We compare the result of wrench system analysis with that of zero moment analysis in biped robot stability using simulation program.

This study is concerned with development of 3-Dimensional simulator of a biped robot that has a prismatic balancing weight or a revolute balancing weight. The dynamic stability equation of a biped robot which have a prismatic balancing weight is conditional linear but a walking robot's stability equation with a revolute balancing weight is nonlinear. To get a stable gait of a biped robot, stabilization equations with ZMP (Zero Moment Point) are modeled as non-homogeneous second order differential equations for each balancing weight type. A trajectory of balancing weight can be directly calculated with the FDM (Finite Difference Method) solution of the linearized differential equation. In this paper, the 3-Dimensional graphic simulator is programmed to get and calculate the desired ZMP and the actual ZMP. Walking of 4 steps was simulated and verified. This balancing system will be applied to a biped humanoid robot, which consist Begs and upper body, at future work.

Research on walking assistance exoskeletons that provide optimized torque to individuals has been conducted steadily, and these studies aim to help users feel stable when walking and get help that suits their intentions. Because exoskeleton auxiliary efficiency evaluation is based on metabolic cost savings, experiments on real people are needed to evaluate continuously evolving control algorithms. However, experiments with real people always require risks and high costs. Therefore, in this study, we intend to actively utilize human musculoskeletal simulation. First, to improve the accuracy of musculoskeletal models, we propose a body segment mass distribution algorithm using body composition analysis data that reflects body characteristics. Secondly, the efficiency of most exoskeleton torque control algorithms is evaluated as the reduction rate of Metabolic Cost. In this study, we assume that the torque minimizing the Metabolic Cost is the optimal torque and propose a method for obtaining the torque.

본 연구는 맨발 보행과 운동화 착용 보행에서 보행주기의 차이를 비교하여 보행역학에 따른 신발 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 발의 변형과 이상이 없는 정상 성인 여성 30명을 대상으로 보행 주기를 측정하였다. 먼저 운동화를 착용하고 보행하여 주기를 측정한 후, 맨발로 보행하여 주기를 측정하여 데이터를 얻었다. 이후 두 데이터를 대응표본 T-test를 이용하여 비교하였다. 실험 결과 맨발 보행에서 입각기 좌측(p<.001), 우측(p<.005), 체중부하기 좌측(p<.009), 우측(p<.002), 전유각기 좌측(p<.002), 우측(p<.011), 양하지 지지기(p<.004)가 증가하였고, 중간 입각기 좌측(p<.016), 우측(p<.001), 유각기 좌측(p<.001)이 감소하였다. 이는 맨발 보행이 다양한 발의 감각의 입력을 증가시켜 보행안정성이 높은 보행이 가능해 졌다고 보여 지며, 향후 보행 주기에 의거하여 맨발보행과 가까운 신발 개량이 필요하다고 사료된다. 향후 신발의 개량을 위해 신발 종류에 따른 보행주기 연구가 필요할 것이다.
