A surgical robot system and a control method thereof include a slave device and a master device to control motion of the slave device. The surgical robot system further includes a monitoring device that inspects a signal transmitted within the system in real time to stop motion of the slave device if an abnormal signal is detected.

Surgical robot system and control method thereof

A medical robot system and a method for controlling the same. The medical robot system includes a trocar, inserted into an incision of a patient, to guide a surgical apparatus and transmit at least one of position information of the surgical apparatus and pressure information of the surgical apparatus, and a console to display a screen including at least one of the position information and the pressure information.

Medical robot system and method for controlling the same

A localization method of a moving robot is disclosed in which the moving robot includes: capturing a first omni-directional image by the moving robot; confirming at least one node at which a second omni-directional image having a high correlation with the first omni-directional image is captured; and determining that the moving robot is located at the first node when the moving robot reaches a first node, at which a second omni-directional image having a highest correlation with the first omni-directional image is captured, from among the at least one node.

Localization method for a moving robot

A method to determine the location of a robot using an omni-directional image, the method including acquiring an omni-directional image from a robot, extracting a predetermined current line from the acquired omni-directional image, calculating a correlation coefficient between the extracted current line of the robot and each landmark line of pre-stored nodes using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and performing a stochastic approach method of a particle filtering process on a basis of the calculated correlation coefficient to recognize a location of the robot.

Method and apparatus to determine robot location using omni-directional image

An intelligent network system including a client unit and a server unit providing a service to the client unit, and a method and computer-readable medium controlling the same are disclosed. If the server unit copies a process that performs a service requested by the client unit into the client unit, and the server unit cannot provide the service any longer, the process is copied to another available server unit so that the service can be continuously provided. Also, if there is no available server unit, the client unit receives the service using the copy process pre-stored in the client unit itself. Therefore, although the network or the peripheral device is in the worst state, the client unit can stably receive the service.

Intelligent network system and method and computer-readable medium controlling the same

A simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) method and medium for a moving robot is disclosed. The SLAM method includes extracting a horizontal line from an omni-directional image photographed at every position where the mobile robot reaches during a movement of the mobile robot, correcting the extracted horizontal line, to create a horizontal line image, and simultaneously executing a localization of the mobile robot and building a map for the mobile robot, using the created horizontal line image and a previously-created horizontal line image.

Simultaneous localization and map building method and medium for moving robot

An omni-directional stereo camera and a control method thereof. The omni-directional stereo camera includes two or more omni-directional cameras, and a supporting member installed within a shooting range between the omni-directional cameras to interconnect the omni-directional cameras and including compensation patterns formed at the surfaces.
