Abstract:
A method of tracking a moving object includes measuring displacement of an object to be tracked, obtaining a particle of the object to be tracked using the measured displacement, and tracking the object using pose information of the object in an image thereof and the obtained particle. A control apparatus includes an imaging module to perform imaging of an object and generates an image, and a tracking unit to acquire displacement and pose information of the object using the generated image of the object, to set a particle of the object using the acquired displacement of the object, and to track the object using the pose information of the object and the particle.

Abstract:
A cleaning robot includes a data acquisition unit that acquires actual sensor data by measuring a distance from a current position to an object to be measured; a local map acquisition unit that acquires a local map by scanning the vicinity of the current position based on an environmental map stored in advance; and a processor that determines coordinates of the current position for the local map by performing matching between the local map and the actual sensor data, and determines a traveling direction based on the current position by calculating a main segment angle of a line segment existing in the local map.

The apparatus to generate 3D data includes an optical scanning probe that scans light generated from a light emitter over an object to be measured, a distance calculation processor that calculates a distance between the optical scanning probe and the object to be measured, based on the light scanned over the object to be measured and light reflected from the object to be measured; and a depth image generation processor that generates 3D data based on a scanning direction of the optical scanning probe and the distance between the optical scanning probe and the object to be measured.
Abstract:
A robot cleaner includes a traveling unit to move a main body, an obstacle sensing unit to sense an obstacle, a light reception unit to receive modulated light according to a control command of a user, and a controller to control the traveling unit so that the main body traces a light spot formed by the light. If an obstacle is detected, the controller controls the traveling unit such that the main body traces an outline of the obstacle according to the light spot position and the obstacle position.

Abstract:
A surgical robot and a control method for the enables measurement of external force applied to a surgical tool of a slave device. In the surgical robot, the slave device may include an external force measurement unit, an image capture unit, and a controller. The external force measurement unit may include a force sensor attached to a surgical instrument to measure external force applied to a surgical tool provided at the surgical instrument, and a visual information display unit connected to the force sensor to display visual information corresponding to the external force output from the force sensor. The image capture unit acquires an image with regard to the visual information. The controller extracts the visual information from the image using image processing, and converts the extracted visual information into corresponding external force information.
