Social robots are attracting attention as an alternative to social problems in modern society, and the need for modularization has been raised to efficiently manage various robots. The study aims to reestablish the concept of 'Personal social service robot' and propose a new modularization method to apply it. For this study, literature research about the definition of social robots and service robots is conducted. In addition, we investigated the modularization of robots and analyzed the modularization cases of service robots. Based on this, we have deducted considerations for applying social service robot modularization and proposed a new modularization. This study divided the module into active module and passive module according to whether it is electric or electronic component of the module, and the active module was again classified into basic module and additional module according to the basic and replacement type of the robot. The modularization was verified by making the prototype of the actual robot.

가정이나 사무실 등과 같은 다양한 현실 세계에서 서비스 로봇이 자율적으로 동작하기 위해서는 복잡한 작업을 수행할 수 있어야만 한다. 다양한 센서 데이터가 있는 서비스 환경에서 고수준의 의미 정보를 이해하는 것은 지식 기반 로봇에게 필수적인 능력 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 서비스 로봇에게 다양한 환경에서 주어진 작업을 효과적으로 해결할 수 있도록 저레벨의 센서 데이터와 고레벨의 의미 정보를 통합하는 인간-로봇 상호작용 온톨로지를 소개한다. 지능형 로봇 지식에는 다양한 서비스의 확장성을 위해 사용자, 로봇, 인지, 환경, 행위 5가지 온톨로지로 분류한다. 지능형 로봇 지식은 일반 지식 뿐만 아니라 로봇의 수행 능력, 구성요소 등의 전문 지식까지 정의하고 서비스 에이전트 간 상호작용을 위한 인터페이스를 표준화함으로써 지능형 로봇에 적합한 지능을 제공한다. Turtlebot2을 이용한 실험을 통해 온톨로지 기반의 통합 로봇 지식의 높은 효율성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

로봇주행은 환경 정보와 위치 정보를 기반으로 현재 위치로부터 목적지까지 경로를 생성하고 제어하는 기술 체계를 의미한다. 주행 기술은 이미 로봇청소기, 군용로봇, 무인주행 자동차, 농업용 무인트랙터 등 개인용 서비스 로봇으로부터 전문서비스 로봇까지 다양한 응용제품의 형태로 구현되고 있다. 즉, 로봇주행은 로봇의 이동(mobility) 기능을 구현하는 것으로 제품 형태로 혹은 획기적인 기술 시연을 통해 보편화되고 있다. 본 고에서는 로봇주행 기술의 개요와 이를 구성하는 핵심 요소기술의 동향을 살펴보고 산업 및 표준화 동향을 살펴봄으로써 인식, 제어, SW, 시스템 공학 등 첨단융합기술로서의 로봇주행의 중요성과 기술확보 방향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The robot is developing into a software-oriented shape that recognizes the surrounding situation and is given a task. Cloud Robotics Platform is a method to support Service Oriented Architecture shape for robots, and it is a cloud-based method to provide necessary tasks and motion controllers depending on the situation. As it evolves into a humanoid robot, the robot will be used to help humans in generalized daily life according to the three robot principles. Therefore, in addition to robots for specific individuals, robots as public goods that can help all humans depending on the situation will be universal. Therefore, the importance of information security in the Cloud Robotics Computing environment is analyzed to be composed of people, robots, service applications on the cloud that give intelligence to robots, and a cloud bridge that connects robots and clouds. It will become an indispensable element for In this paper, we propose a Security Scheme that can provide security for communication between people, robots, cloud bridges, and cloud systems in the Cloud Robotics Computing environment for intelligent robots, enabling robot services that are safe from hacking and protect personal information.

개인용 스마트 기기와 같은 첨단 기기의 사용이 보편화되고, 이에 따른 각종 서비스가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 사용자 개인에 맞는 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 사용자의 실내 측위 기술이 핵심적이다. 본 고에서는 여러 측위 기술 중에서도 로봇 공학 분야에서 활발히 연구되고 있는 영상 센서와 지자계 센서를 활용한 실내 측위 기술에 대해서 소개하고자 한다. 이미 스마트폰에 탑재되어 있는 일반적인 모노 카메라와 지자계 측정 센서를 이용한 방식 외에, 최근 깊이 정보가 측정 가능한 카메라도 스마트폰용으로 개발되고 있으므로, 이러한 진보된 센서를 이용한 기술에 대해서도 소개하고자 한다. 이 기술들은 현재는 실내용 서비스 로봇에 적용 가능한 형태로 많이 개발되고 있지만, 향후에는 사용자의 실내 측위로도 많이 응용될 것이라 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to find out user preference on personification of the public service robot. Public service robot services in public places is increasing, which is expected to continue to increase. Proper anthropomorphism of robots has positive effect on user experience. On the other hand, when the level of likeness exceeds a certain point, it provokes strangeness and a sense of unease. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare standards for anthropomorphism required for public service robots. In order to find it, a survey and an in-depth interview were conducted. According to the analysis, people prefer verbal interaction with the robot, and the proper age for the voice is in their 20s and 30s. It is recommended that no biological signals appear on the robot and there is a need for personalized services. Through this research, it is expected that it will contribute to design of public service robots that enhance user experience.

The development of information and communication technology and COVID-19 have caused an unusual change in the hotel industry, and the demand for the contactless services such as service robots from hotel customers has surged. Therefore, this study investigates the perception of hotel customers on contactless services by applying a mixed-method analysis. Specifically, this study identified the causal correlations between variables through the structural equation model, and further applied the fuzzy set qualitative comparison analysis to derive patterns of variables that form the intention to use the non-face-to-face services. As a result of the analysis, it was shown that service experience co-creation, palyfulness, personalization, and trust had a significant effect on intention to use through the contactless service use desire. On the other hand, in the results of fuzzy-set qualitative comparison analysis, playfulness was derived as a core factor in all patterns. Based on these analysis results, this study provides academic basis for in-depth understanding of hotel customers' perception of contactless service and specific guidelines for hotel managers on the contactless service strategies in the era of COVID-19 pandemic.

The robot imitates humans and recognizes the external environment and judges the situation. The robot is a machine that operates autonomously. Robots are divided into manufacturing robots and service robots. Service robots are classified as professional service robots and personal service robots. Because of the intensified competition of productivity in manufacturing industries, rising safety issues, low birth rate and aging, the robots industry is emerging. Recently, the robot industry is a complex of advanced technology fields, and it is attracting attention as a new industry where innovation potential and growth potential are promising. IT, BT, and NT related elements are fused and implemented, and the ripple effect is very large. Due to changes in social structure and life patterns, social interest in life extension and health is increasing. There is much interest in the medical field. Now the artificial intelligence (AI) industry is growing rapidly. It is necessary to secure global competitiveness through strengthening cooperation between large and small companies. We must combine R&D investment capability and marketing capability, which are advantages of large corporations, and robotic technology. We need to establish a cooperative model and secure global competitiveness through M&A.

The study of the development of DJ robots is to meet the demands of the music services which are changing very rapidly in the digital and network era. Existing studies, as a whole, develop music services on the premise of personalized environment and equipment, but the DJ robot is on the premise of the open space shared by the public. DJ robot gives priority to traditional space and music. Recently as the hospitality and demand for cultural contents of South Korea expand to worldwide, industrial use of the contents based on traditional or our unique characteristics is getting more and more. Meanwhile, the DJ robot is composed of a combination of two modules. One is to detect changes in the external environment and the other is to set the properties of the music by psychology, emotional engineering, etc. DJ robot detect the footprint of the temperature, humidity, illumination, wind, noise and other environmental factors measured, and will ensure the objectivity of the music source by repeated experiments and verification with human sensibility ergonomics based on Hevner Adjective Circle. DJ robot will change the soundscape of the traditional space being more beautiful and make the revival and prosperity of traditional music with the use of traditional music through BGM.
