실시간신호제어시스템(COSMOS)에서 좌회전 감응신호제어 시 U-Turn 차량을 고려하지 않아 좌회전 차로가 U-turn 공용차로로 운영될 경우, U-Turn차량의 혼입으로 인해 일반적인 좌회전 차량의 통행특성과 달라지므로 최소녹색시간 및 진행연장시간의 증가에 따른 좌회전 조기종결의 문제가 종종 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 좌회전 감응신호제어용 검지기(좌회전 정지선 후방 12m위치)를 U-Turn 허용차선 시작부분으로 이격(Set-Back)하고, 상기의 문제를 해결하는 좌회전 감응 신호제어방법을 개발하였다. 또한, 상기 개발방법의 적용성 평가를 위하여 TRANSYT-7F, VISSIM을 이용한 모의실험을 수행하였으며, 교통상황(포화, 근포화, 비포화), 신호제어 방법(고정식 신호제어, COSMOS 좌회전 감응신호제어, 개발 방법의 좌회전 감응신호제어), U-Turn 비율(10, 20, 30%)에 따라 다양하게 수행하였다. 상기의 모의 실험결과에 의하면, 포화(V/C = 1.0), 근포화(V/C = 0.8)교통상황에서 개선효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

In this paper, dynamic modeling and adaptive control problems for a space robot system are discussed. The space robot consist of a robot manipulator mounted on a free-floating base where no attitude control is applied. Using an extended robot model, the entire space robot can be viewed as an under-actuated robot system. Based on nonlinear control theory, the extended space robot model can then be decomposed into two subsystems: one is input-output exactly linearizable, and the other is unlinearizable and represents an internal dynamics. With this decomposition, a normal form-augmentation approach and an augmented state-feedback control are proposed to facilitate the design of adaptive control for the space robot system against parameter uncertainty, unknown dynamics and unmodeled payload in space applications. We demonstrate that under certain conditions, the entire space robot can be represented as a full-actuated robot system to avoid the inclusion of internal dynamics. Based on the dynamic model, we propose an adaptive control scheme using Cartesian space representation and demonstrate its validity and design procedure by a simulation study.

This paper presents a new concept for controlling of under actuated robot manipulators with avoiding obstacles using switching computed torque method (SCTM). One fundamental approach of this algorithm is to use the partly stable controllers (PSCs) in order to fulfill the ultimate control objective. Here, we use genetic algorithms (GA)in order to employ the optimum control action for a given time frame with the available set of elemental controllers, depending on which links/variables are controlled, i.e. the selection of optimum switching sequence of the control actions. The proposed approach models links of the robot using evolving ellipses and then introduces a penalty scheme for the objective function of GA when it detects collisions. An under actuated robot manipulator, which has three detrees-of-freedom is taken into consideration so as to illustrate the design procedure. Simulation results show the e.ectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents the design, modelling and, simulation and experimental results of a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator based critical motion control application. Dynamic performance of SMA and its ability in replacing servo motor is studied for which the famous open loop unstable balancing ball and beam system direct driven by antagonistic SMA is designed and developed. Simulation uses the mathematical model of ball and beam structure derived from the first principles and model estimated for the SMA actuator by system identification. A PID based cascade control system consisting of two loops is designed and control of ball trajectory for various target positions with settling time as control parameter is verified experimentally. The results demonstrate the performance of SMA for a complicated i.e., under actuated, highly nonlinear unstable system, and thereby it's dynamic behaviour. Control strategies bring out the effectiveness of the actuator and its possible application to much more complex applications such as in aerospace control and robotics.

도시고속도로의 확대와 더불어 일반 간선도로에 접속되는 도시고속도로 진출램프 또한 증가하고 있으며, 진출램프가 혼잡한 간선도로 상에 접속시 간선도로에서의 차량 혼입으로 인한 혼잡 가중 및 이로 인한 진출램프에서의 대기행렬이 역류하여 도시고속도로 본선에 혼잡의 영향이 미치는 현상이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 연구에서는 도시고속도로 진출부 교차로 제어의 개념으로 접근하여 도시고속도로 진출차량을 포함한 간선도로에서의 교통상황(하류부 링크 포함)까지도 고려하여 간선도로가 포화된 경우, 진출램프가 포화된 경우, 간선도로와 진출램프 모두 포화된 경우로 나누어 각 교통상황별 제어전략의 효과를 분석하였으며, 제어전략의 효과에 영향을 미치는 기하조건을 반영하기 위하여 COSMOS에서 제시한 하류부 링크저장공간 200m를 기준으로 이상일 때와 이하일 때로 구분하여 전체 6가지 CASE에 대한 감응식 신호제어전략 적용 전 후의 효과를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 전체 네트워크 차원에서 하류부링크 저장공간 200m 이하일 때 CASE I${\sim}$III에서는 4.4%${\sim}$6.2%, 200m 이상일 때 CASE Ⅳ${\sim}$Ⅵ에서는 6.1%${\sim}$16.2%의 지체 감소 효과가 발생하였으며, 상대적으로 하류부 링크저장공간이 큰 네트워크에서 효과가 더욱 크게 발생한 것으로 분석되었다.

In this paper, we present out recent progress in the LIPCA (Lightweight Piezo-Composite Actuator) application for actuation of a flapping wing device. The flapping device uses linkage system that can amplify the actuation displacement of LIPCA. The feathering mechanism is also designed and implemented such that the wing can rotate during flapping. The natural flapping-frequency of the device was about 9 Hz, where the maximum flapping angle was achieved. The flapping test under 5 Hz to 15 Hz flapping frequency was performed to investigate the flapping performance by measuring the produced lift and thrust. Maximum lift and thrust were produced when the flapping device was actuated at about the natural flapping-frequency.

Optical manipulation on microscale and nanoscale structures opens up new possibilities for assembly and control of microelectromechanical systems and nanoelectromechanical systems. Static optical force induces constant displacement while changing optical force stimulates vibration of a microcantilever/nanocantilever. The vibratory behavior of a single carbon nanocoil cantilever under optical actuation is investigated. A fitting formula to describe the laser-induced vibration characteristics is deduced based on a classical continuum model, by which the resonance frequency of the carbon nanocoil can be determined directly and accurately. This optically actuated vibration method could be widely used in stimulating quasi-1D micro/nanorod-like materials, and has potential applications in micro-/nano-opto-electromechanical systems.

In daily life, another major role of human hand is a communicative function using hand gestures besides grasp function. Therefore, if amputees can express their intention by the prosthetic hand, they can much actively participate in social activities. Thus, this paper propose myoelectric multi-function prosthetic hand which can express 6 useful hand gestures such as Rock, Scissors, Paper, Indexing, Ok and Thumb-up. It was designed as under-actuated structure to minimize volume and weight of the prosthetic hand. Moreover, in order to effectively control various hand gestures by only two EMG sensors, we propose a control strategy that the signal type are expanded as "Strong" and "Light", and hand gestures are hierarchically classified for the intuitive control. Finally, we prove the validity of the developed prosthetic hand with the experiment.

Vibrations of a wind turbine blade have a negative impact on its performance and result in failure of the blade, therefore an approach to effectively control vibration in turbine blades are sought by wind industry. The small domestic horizontal axis wind turbine blades induce flap wise (out-of-plane) vibration, due to varying wind speeds. These flap wise vibrations are transferred to the structure, which even causes catastrophic failure of the system. Shape memory alloys which possess physical property of variable stiffness across different phases are embedded into the composite blades for active vibration control. Previously Shape memory alloys have been used as actuators to change their angles and orientations in fighter jet blades but not used for active vibration control for wind turbine blades. In this work a GFRP blade embedded with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) and tested for its vibrational and material damping characteristics, under martensitic and austenite conditions. The embedment portrays 47% reduction in displacement of blade, with respect to the conventional blade. An analytical model for the actuated smart blade is also proposed, which validates the harmonic response of the smart blade.

This paper proposes a locomotion pattern and a control method for biped robots with curved soles. First, since the contact point of a supporting leg may arbitrarily move back and forth on the ground, we derived the desired trajectory from a model called the Moving. Inverted Pendulum Model (MIPM) where the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) exists at the supporting point and can be moved intentionally. Secondly, a biped robot with curved soles is an under-actuated system since the supporting point contacting with a point on the ground has no actuator during the single supporting phase. Therefore, this paper proposes a computed-torque control for this under-actuated system using decoupled dynamic equations. A series of computer simulations with a 7-DOF biped robot with curved soles shows that the proposed walking pattern and control method are effective and allow the biped robot to walk fast and stably, and move more like human beings. Also, it is shown that the curved sole shape has superior energy consumption compared to flat soles, and greater efficiency in ascending and descending the stairs.
