Existing sports simulators on the market focus on the motion of platform or reality expression using basic visual contents, and are limited to entertainment products. Therefore, the stimulus on 5 senses is not good enough to be applied on high virtual reality. Moreover, there are not enough professional contents to be applied to an educational sports simulator. In this paper, we developed a sport platform by separating the multi axis based common platform module and the sports application module. We designed the common platform which has 4 degrees of freedom such as surge, sway, heave and yaw motion. This platform has the purpose of stabilizing motion and minimizing interference. The changeable sport module which is attached to the common module has 2 degrees of freedom such as roll and pitch, so that it can be applied to the various fields of 2 degrees of freedom virtual reality sports such as horse riding and yacht.

태양 전지판의 전개 여부는 저궤도 위성의 발사 성공 여부를 판단하는 가장 중요한 항목 중 하나이다. 태양 전지판이 성공적으로 전개되어야만 태양 지향 자세제어에 의해 위성 운용에 필요한 전력 생성이 가능하기 때문이다. 그러므로 발사 후 지상국 교신을 통해 최우선적으로 태양 전지판의 전개 여부를 판단한다. 태양 전지판의 전개 여부는 다양한 실패 상황에 가정해 총 5가지 조건을 통해 판단한다. 첫째, SAR1, SAR2의 입력 전류가 모두 0.8A보다 커야 한다. 만약 하나라도 0.8A 미만이라면 한 개 이상의 태양 전지판이 전개되지 않고 1번 태양 전지판이 태양 지향을 하지 못하는 상황이다. 둘째, SAR1 입력 전류와 SAR2 입력 전류의 값이 유사해야 한다. 만약 입력 전류 값이 크게 차이가 난다면 2번과 3번 태양 전지판 중 하나만 태양 지향을 하는 경우이다. 셋째, CSSA#5 출력 전류가 3.2mA보다 커야 한다. 만약 3.2mA보다 작다면 2번과 3번 태양 전지판의 전개가 실패하고 1번 태양 전지판이 태양 지향을 하는 경우 또는 1번 태양 전지판이 전개 실패하고 태양 지향을 하는 경우이다. 넷째, S/C Roll, Pitch, Yaw rate이 모두 0.2 deg/sec 보다 작아야 한다. 만약 body rate이 크다면 1번 태양 전지판의 전개 실패 상황을 예상할 수 있다. 다섯째, 각 태양 전지판의 온도 차이가 $35^{\circ}C$ 보다 작아야 한다. 만약 온도 차이가 크다면 1번 태양 전지판 전개 실패 상황에서 2번과 3번 태양 전지판이 태양 지향을 하는 경우이다. 총 다섯 가지의 조건을 모두 만족해야만 태양 전지판이 성공적으로 전개되었다고 판단한다. 태양 전지판의 전개 판단은 위성이 발사체에서 분리되고 약 4500초 이후 시점에 스발바드 지상국과의 교신을 통해 확인되었다. 이 시점의 SAR1 입력 전류는 약 2.00A, SAR2 입력 전류는 약 1.93A였기 때문에 모두 0.8A보다 크고 서로 유사한 값임을 확인했다. CSSA#5의 출력 전류는 약 3.5mA의 값을 나타냈다. S/C Roll rate은 -0.0084 deg/sec, Pitch rate은 -0.0072 deg/sec, Yaw rate은 -0.0303 deg/sec의 값을 나타냈다. 각 태양 전지판의 최대 온도 차이는 $7.7^{\circ}C$의 값을 나타냈다. 5가지 조건을 모두 만족함으로써 태양 전지판 전개는 성공적으로 수행된 것으로 판단했다.

The flight control of aircraft, which has nonlinear time-varying dynamic characteristics depending on the various and unexpected external conditions, can be performed on two motions: longitudinal motion and lateral motion. In the longitudinal motion control of aircraft, pitch and trust are major control parameters and roll and yaw are control ones in the lateral motion control. Until now, a number of efficient and reliable control schemes that can guarantee the stability and maneuverability of the aircraft have been developed. Recently, the intelligent flight control scheme, which differs from the conventional control strategy requiring the various and complicate procedures such as the wind tunnel and environmental experiments, has attracted attention. In this paper, an intelligent longitudinal control scheme has been proposed utilizing Interval Type-2 fuzzy logic which can be recognized as a representative intelligent control methodology. The results will be verified through computer simulation with a F-4 jet fighter.

In this paper, gimbal camera control through smart gloves was implemented to increase convenience and accessibility to the control of drones used in various fields. Smart gloves identify human gestures and transmit signals through Bluetooth. The received signal is converted into a signal suitable for the drone through a GCS (Gound Control Station). Signals from smart gloves are expressed in a quaternion method to prevent gimbal locks, but for gimbal cameras, conversion is required to use Roll, Pitch, and Yaw methods. The data conversion mission is performed in the GCS. The GCS transmits an input signal to the control board of the drone through Wi-Fi. The control board generates and outputs the transmitted signal in a PWM manner. The output signal is input to the gimbal camera through the SBUS method and controlled. The input signal of the smart glove averaged 0.093 s and up to 0.099 s to output to the gimbal camera, showing that there was no problem in real-time use.

With advances in autonomous vehicles, there is a growing demand for more accurate position estimation. Especially, this is a case for a moving robot for the indoor operation which necessitates the higher accuracy in position estimation when the robot is required to execute the task at a predestined location. Thus, a method for improving the position estimation which is applicable to both the fixed and the moving object is proposed. The proposed method exploits the initial position estimation from Bluetooth beacon signals as observation signals. Then, it estimates the gravitational acceleration applied to each axis in an inertial frame coordinate through computing roll and pitch angles and combining them with magnetometer measurements to compute yaw angle. Finally, it refines the control inputs for an object with motion dynamics by computing acceleration on each axis, which is used for improving the performance of Kalman filter. The experimental assessment of the proposed algorithm shows that it improves the position estimation accuracy in comparison to a conventional Kalman filter in terms of average error distance at both the fixed and moving states.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of 6 Dimensional Skull Tracking(6DST) in Cyberknife Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy(SBRT) for the first and second cervical vertebrae(C1 and C2) metastasis. Methode and material : The Computed Tomography (Lightspeed VCT 64, General Electric Co. Waukesha, WI, USA) was used to acquire the CT images of the 9 patients with cervical vertebrae(C1 and C2) metastasis. Treatment plans for Xsight spine tracking and 6 Dimensional skull tracking were established with planning system (Multiplan system Version 4.6, Accuray, US). The results of XST and 6DST for each patient were analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2010. Result : The Maximum offsets of XST for C1 were 0.9 mm in Y(supero-inferior), 0.9 mm in Z(antero-posterior), 0.7 mm in X(left-right) direction, and rotations were and 1.0 degrees roll, 1.0 degrees pitch and 1.2 degrees yaw. The Maximum offsets of 6DST for C1 were 0.7 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm and $1.0^{\circ}$, $1.0^{\circ}$, $1.2^{\circ}$ for Y, Z, X and Roll, Pitch, Yaw. The Maximum offsets of XST and 6DST for C2 were 0.7 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm and $0.9^{\circ}$, $1.0^{\circ}$, $1.8^{\circ}$, and 0.9 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm and $0.9^{\circ}$, $0.9^{\circ}$, $1.0^{\circ}$ for Y, Z, X and Roll, Pitch, Yaw, respectively. Conclusion : XST and 6DST showed identical results for translations and rotations within the tolerance. It is possible to simplify the treatment time and procedure by using the 6DST. Therefore, 6DST is very useful methode with XST among the various tracking methods in Cyberknife for the patients with C1, C2 vertebral metastasis.

Purpose: The goal of this study is to evaluate usefulness of noninvasive method instead of previous inserting Fiducial Marker Method when performing Stereotactic Partial Breast Irradiation in CyberKnife. Material and methods: For consistency of Imaging Center, we evaluated both oblique images at angle 45 and 315 acquired from 2D Simulator and CyberKnife quantitatively through dice similarity coefficient. Also, location reproducibility of Surface Fiducial Marker was analyzed from 2D Simulator, treatment plans and CyberKinfe images by using 8 Fiducial Markers made of gold attached to ATOM Phantom based on our institution's protocols. Results: The results of the estimated consistency were 0.87 and 0.9 at the oblique angle 45 and 315, respectively. For location consistency of Surface Fiducial Markers, values of horizontal vertical direction of left breast were Superior/Inferior 0.3 mm, Left/Right -0.3 mm, Anterior/Posterior 0.4 mm, and the values of rotational direction were Roll 0.3 °, Pitch 0.2 °, Yaw 0.4 °. The values of horizontal vertical direction of right breast were Superior/Inferior -0.1 mm, Left/Right -0.1 mm, Anterior/Posterior -0.1 mm, and the values of rotational direction were Roll 0.2°, Pitch 0.1°, Yaw 0.1°. Conclusions: We expect that the protocols used by Surface Fiducial Markers when performing Stereotactic Partial Breast Irradiation in CyberKnife will provide protection from pain and cut expenses for treatment and reduce treatment errors and make treatment more accurate by suggesting treatment protocols based on high consistency of Imaging Center and reproducibility of Fiducial Markers.

The field of robots is being widely accepted as a new technology today. Many robots are produced continuously to impart amusement to people. Especially the robot which operates with a wheelbarrow was enough of a work of art to arouse excitement in the audiences. All the wheelbarrow robots share the same technology in that the direction of roll and pitch are acting as balance controllers, allowing the robots to maintain balance for a long period by continuously moving forward and backward. However one disadvantage of this technology is that they cannot avoid obstacles in their way. Therefore movement in sideways is a necessity. For the control of rotation of yawing direction, the angle and direction of rotation are adjusted according to the velocity and torque of rotation of a motor. Therefore this study aimed to inquire into controlling yawing direction, which is responsible for rotation of a robot. This was followed by creating a simulation of a wheelbarrow robot and equipping the robot with a yawing direction controlling device in the center of the body so as to allow sideway movements.

This paper considers a fault tolerant control problem for a spacecraft using wheels which are momentum exchanging devices. The control of a satellite with only two healthy wheels has been studied and its result has been presented. Two different configurations have been considered. When the yaw rate cannot be controlled directly by any control input, the desired yaw rate can be obtained by using the roll rate as a pseudo control. As a result, all three angular speeds have been stabilized, and two attitude angles including pitch and yaw have been controlled to converge to the desired values.

In this paper, a high performance underwater vehicle which can be manufactured at low cost is designed and fabricated, and its performance is verified through experiments. To improve efficiency, the Myring equation is used to design the appearance and the duct structure including the thruster is planned to increase the propulsion efficiency while reducing the drag force. Through various methods, it is secured stable waterproof performance, and also is devised to have high speed movement and turning performance. The developed underwater vehicle is equipped with a high output BLDC motor to achieve a linear speed of up to 2 m/s and can change direction rapidly with stability through four rudders. The rudders are driven by coupling a timing belt and a pulley by extending the axis of a servo motor, and are equipped at the end of the body to turn heading. In addition, for stable posture control, the roll keeps its internal center of gravity low and maintains its stability due to restoring force. By controlling the four rudders, pitch and yaw are handled by the PID controller and show stable performance. To investigate the horizontal turning performance, it is confirmed that the yaw rate controller is designed and stable yaw rate control is performed.
