Chin-Tae Choi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8368759
    Abstract: There are provided a landmark for recognizing a position of a mobile robot moving in an indoor space and an apparatus and method for recognizing the position of the mobile robot by using the landmark. The landmark includes a position recognition part formed of a mark in any position and at least two marks on an X axis and Y axis centered on the mark and further includes an area recognition part formed of a combination of a plurality of marks to distinguish an individual landmark from others. The apparatus may obtain an image of the landmark by an infrared camera, detect the marks forming the landmark, and detect precise position and area information of the mobile robot from the marks.

  • Publication number: 20030010082
    Abstract: Disclosed is a roll driving system for a rolling mill. The roll driving system comprises hydraulic cylinders disposed in parallel between a rolling mill housing and a roll housing for supporting a backup roll and a work roll; load position sensors for detecting load positions of the hydraulic cylinders; means for executing a backward kinematic algorithm which calculates target load positions of the hydraulic cylinders when a target position instruction signal for degrees of freedom of roll movement is inputted from an upper control system, position controllers for controlling positions of the hydraulic cylinders in response to the target load positions inputted from the backward kinematic algorithm executing means; and means for executing a forward kinematic algorithm which calculates positions for the degrees of freedom of roll movement, based on the load positions detected by the load position sensors, and outputs resultant position signals to the upper control system.
