Abstract:
A support module includes a first rigid body, a space formation body connected to the first rigid body and forming an enclosed space, and a plurality of hard particles located within the enclosed space. When at least a predetermined pressure is applied to the support module such that a volume of the enclosed space is decreased to a predetermined value, the plurality of hard particles and space formation body form a second rigid body. Such a support module may improve the stability of a walking robot, the grip of a gripping structure, or the stability of a load-bearing structure.

Abstract:
A surgical robot system capable of storing all data transmitted and received in the surgical robot system and a method of controlling the same includes a slave device performing surgery on a patient, a master device controlling a surgical operation of the slave device, an imaging device transmitting a medical image regarding the patient to the slave device and the master device, and a monitoring device comprising a storage module receiving all data transmitted and received among the slave device, the master device, and the imaging device, serializing the received data on a per transmission-time-information basis to generate serial packets, and storing the generated serial packets, and a reproduction module dividing the stored serial packets into a plurality of unit packets and transmitting the unit packets to a device for display.
Abstract:
Data matching includes receiving a piece of first relational data and a piece of second relational data. The piece of first relational data is associated with a plurality of pieces of first data, and the piece of second relational data is associated with a plurality of pieces of second data. An approximate value of the piece of second relational data is calculated. A similarity is calculated based on the piece of first relational data and the approximate value of the piece of second relational data. A correspondence between a piece of the first data and a piece of the second data is determined based on the calculated similarity. An alignment parameter is calculated based on the determined correspondence, and a first data group including the piece of the first data is matched with a second data group including the piece of the second data based on the alignment parameter.
Abstract:
A walking robot capable of implementing a balancing action to ensure a stable walking on uneven ground based on an FSM-based walking control method, and a control method thereof, is capable of implementing stable walking by controlling torques of the hip joint, the knee joint and the ankle joint by use of FSM without calculating complicated Dynamics Equations. The walking robot ensures stable walking on uneven ground through a simple calculation by use of the angle formed by the ground and the both feet The walking robot is made to be applied to a robot provided with joints having six degrees of freedom through a simple calculation of compensation angles.
Abstract:
