Abstract:
PURPOSE: An autonomous mobile apparatus and a collision avoiding method thereof are provided to reliably predict the moving route of mobile obstacles and avoid the collision against the obstacles. CONSTITUTION: A plurality of wheels(300) are installed in the body of an autonomous mobile apparatus. An absolute position recognition unit(210) recognizes the absolute position of the autonomous mobile apparatus and the absolute position of an obstacle as regular time intervals. An obstacle moving route calculation unit(240) calculates the moving route of an obstacle using the absolute position of the obstacle recognized at regular time intervals and cubic function. An obstacle position calculation unit(250) computes the expected position of the obstacle at the specific point of time using the moving route and speed of the obstacle. A control unit(220) determines the probability of a collision against the obstacle and drives the wheels with controlled direction and speed in order to avoid the collision.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a measuring device for thrust and side force of a thruster with a rotary valve and a measuring method thereof. The measuring device comprises: a supporting unit which is fixated to the bottom surface thereof; a valve assembly which is positioned at the top of the supporting unit; and a measuring unit which is to measure thrust and side force when the thrust is generated from the valve assembly. Therefore, the measuring device can measure thrust and side force using multiple axes, and can largely increase the range of measurable thrust by applying load cells to each of the axes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for effectively detecting a drivable region (drivable path) using a multi-layer laser range sensor. Distance information according to an angle which comprises a straight line vertical to a direction facing each layer by using the multi-layer laser range sensor is obtained. Based on the obtained distance information according to the angle, the boundary of the drivable region according to each layer is calculated. A layer which allows the distance information of the drivable region in the boundary of the calculated drivable region to be represented by a virtual straight line (having a slight change) is selected. Thereby, the autonomous driving performance and stability can be improved.
