Abstract

Today, a shortage of the skilled operator has been intensified gradually and the necessity of an earthwork in extreme environment operators are difficult to access is increasing for the purpose of resource development and new living space creation. For this reason, an effort to develop an unmanned excavation robot for fully automated earthwork system is continuing globally. In Korea, a research consortium called 'Intelligent Excavation System' has been formed since 2006 as a part of Construction Technology Innovation Program of Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs of Korea. Among detailed technologies of the Task Planning System is one of the core technologies of IES, this paper explains research and development process of the Local Area Design Module, which provides informatization unit to create automated excavators' work command information at operation level such as location, range, target, and sequence for excavation work. Designing of Local Area should be considered various influential factors such as excavator's specification, working mechanism, heuristics, and structural stability to create work plan guaranteed safety and effectiveness. For this research, conceptual and detail design of the Local Area is performed for analyzing design element and variable, and quantization method of design specification corresponding with heuristics and structural safety is generated. Finally, module is developed through constructed algorithm and developed module is verified.

오늘날 숙련된 굴삭기 운전자의 부족현상은 갈수록 심화되고 있으며, 자원개발 및 새로운 생활공간 창출 등을 목적으로 운전자가 접근하기 어려운 극한환경에서 토공작업의 필요성이 증가함에 따라 전 세계적으로 토공완전자동화를 위한 무인화 굴삭로봇 개발의 노력이 경주되고 있다. 국내에서도 지난 2006년 말부터 국토해양부 건설기술혁신사업의 일환으로 '지능형 굴삭시스템' 연구단을 구성하여 연구를 지속하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 지능형 굴삭시스템의 작업계획생성시스템이 갖추어야 할 세부요소기술 중, 굴착작업의 위치, 범위, 목표, 순차 등 굴삭로봇의 운용단위 작업명령정보를 생성하기 위한 정보화단위를 제공하는 로컬영역설계모듈의 연구개발내용에 대하여 설명한다. 로컬영역의 설계는 굴삭로봇의 제원, 작업메커니즘, 휴리스틱 및 구조적안전성 등 여러 영향요소가 고려되어야 안전하고 효율적인 굴착작업을 보장하는 작업계획을 생성할 수 있다. 따라서 로컬영역의 설계요소를 분석하기 위하여 현장조사를 통한 개념적 설계를 수행하고, 상세설계를 통해 설계변수를 도출하였으며, 휴리스틱 및 구조적 해석요건을 만족하도록 설계내용을 정량화하였다. 마지막으로 로컬영역설계모듈을 개발하기 위한 알고리즘을 구축하고, 개발된 모듈을 검증하였다.
