This paper considers a new positioning sensor using position sensitive detector (PSD) under indoor environments. The system consists of PSD module which is attached on the ceiling and infrared (IR) projector modules attached on the interested object, and all modules are connected by wireless communication. In this system, the PSD module detects and determines location of the IR projector module with its light source, and the IR projector module receives its own location information from the PSD module. In particular, the developed system is implemented on the embedded system and it is small, simple, inexpensive and robust localization system. We applied this system to mobile robot navigation on indoor environment, and the experimental results shows the effectiveness of this system

P-SURO II is a hybrid AUV which can be operated in both of ROV and AUV modes. The AUV mode is supposed to carry out some of underwater missions which are difficult to be accomplished by ROV mode due to its tether cable. To complete the underwater missions such as inspection and maintenance of complex structures in AUV mode, the vehicle is required to have high level of autonomy including obstacle avoidance, autonomous navigation, and so on. In this paper, we will discuss some of systematic and algorithmic issues in the development of such kind hybrid vehicles. Experimental studies on the development of underwater hybrid inertial navigation system and SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) method in a certain water tank environment are also discussed.

Autonomous navigation is one of primitive functionalities which service robots should have; nevertheless, the navigation problem for a service robot still has many difficulties because the real environment where service robots should works is so complex and dynamical. This paper proposes a framework of intelligent navigation for service robots based on a semantic map of the smart environment. In the smart environment, the robot can receive his position information from location sensors by sensor networks, and it can eliminate the accumulated localization errors. So the robot can accomplish confidential localization in the dynamic and complex environment. With the topological information in the semantic map, path planning problem can be simple even in the wide and complex spaces, and topological path from semantic map can be divided into several sub goals. Robust navigation can be accomplished by moving towards these sub goals with reactive navigation algorithm which has robust characteristics in the dynamic environments. Our approaches have ascertained the good performance on the localization and the navigation, and the feasibility of these methods could be confirmed with the result of experiments in the real environment.

P-SURO II AUV is a hybrid vehicle which has been developing in KIRO since June in last year. In this paper, we propose a doppler velocity log (DVL) aiding inertial navigation system for this hybrid AUV. So far, DVL has been one of most common aiding device for underwater strap down inertial navigation system (SDINS) [1]. However, in practice, DVL may briefly dropout due to noise, uneven surfaces, and loss of lock when too close to a surface [2]. This kind of DVL dropout effect on the proposed INS is investigated through post-processing of navigation sensor raw measurement data acquired in the field test in a river. On the other hand, four vectored thrusters are mounted on the vehicle's horizontal plane, and their thrust vector control (TVC) problem is also discussed in the paper.

This paper proposes trot pattern generation and online control methods for a legged robot to carry heavy-loads and move fast on the uneven terrain. The trot pattern is generated from the frequency modulated pattern generation method based on the frequency modulated oscillator in order for the legged robots to operate outdoors with the static and dynamic mobility. The efficiency and performance of the proposed are verified through the computer simulation and experiments using qRT-1/-2. In experiments, qRT which is a 2-legged and 2-wheeled robot and a front drive system vehicle with hydraulic linear actuators is used. The robot has trotted gaits at speeds up to 1.3 m/s on the even surface, walked up and down the 20 degree inclines, and walked at 0.7 m/s on the uneven surface. Also it has carried over 100 kg of the total weights including over 40 kg of the payload.
