We developed a platform that was capable of autonomous steering in a furrow environment. It was developed to autonomously control steering by recognizing the furrow using a laser distance, three-axis tilt, and temperature sensor. The performance evaluation indicated that the autonomous steering success rate was 99.17%, and it was possible to climb up to 5° on the slope. The usage time was approximately 40 h, and the maximum speed was 6.7 km/h.

2000년대 이후 전 세계적으로 곡물 재고율 하락이 장기화되고, 인구증가 및 생활 여건의 개선에 따라 식량부족 상태의 심화가 예측됨에 따라 세계 각국은 곡물의 생산성 제고 및 품질향상 방안을 확보하고자 노력하고 있다. 농업 IT 융합기술은 기존의 농업기술에 IT 고유기술을 농업에 융합시켜 농업의 생산 유통 소비 전 과정에 걸쳐 생산성과 효율성 및 품질향상 등과 같은 고부가가치 창출을 추구하고자 하는 기술이다. 크게 보면 축산업 분야도 포함되는 것이지만 여기에서는 재배 작물의 생산에 국한하고, IT 기술 중에서 USN 기술을 적용한 USN 기반의 IT 기술을 농업에 융합하는 분야로 한정한 기술의 연구 동향을 고찰하고자 한다. 노지 작물과 시설원예 작물 및 외부 환경에 영향을 받지 않는 새로운 개념인 식물공장에 IT 기술을 적용하기 위하여 필요한 사항을 고찰하고, 국내외 기술개발 및 표준화 동향과 향후 추진되어야 할 기술적 이슈들을 제시하였다.

IT Convergence with agriculture is expected to bring more efficiency and quality improvement in producing, distributing, consuming of agricultural products with the aid of information processing and autonomous control technologies of the IT area. However, there exist many difficulties to establish services and systems to actualize the IT convergence service in the agricultural field to cope with various objects such as time-varying weather changes, growth condition of farm products, and continual diseases. In this paper, we suggest standard technology service requirements for ubiquitous environments agriculture based on network.

The researches and discussion for regenerating the deprived urban residential areas are proceeding actively. But urban agriculture is regard as a simple tool for participation of resident and its value as primary industry is discussed in part. Now discussion about increasing the place capital is needed to overcome the existing urban development methods that maximizes the space capital as a new alternative. So this research is to give a theoretical basis for sustainable urban regeneration. It studies the place value improvement through urban agriculture which is applied creative industry convergence. For these, it indicates problems of the methods of existing urban development, reveal the strengths of urban agriculture applied creative industry convergence in the aspect of place value improvement, and suggests a new paradigm for urban regeneration.

Because a robot actuator is directly affected by the external force of the robot and accounts for the largest portion of the robot system weight, developing an optimized actuator suitable for each characteristic of the robot system is essential. Although there have been many developments and studies related to robot actuators in various industrial fields, lightweight and compact actuator designs that can control force are still lacking. In this study, a novel actuator module was developed, and its performance was verified experimentally. The structure and control of various robot systems can be optimized by utilizing the proposed actuator. It can be used for various tasks by sensing external force and through feedback control.

Our country should continuously make efforts to secure the international competitiveness of the current domestic agriculture in a variety of industries converged with agriculture in order to get over the disaster due to global warming, cope with imported produces caused by FTA and scientific implementation technology provided by advanced countries like USA and European Union in spite of domestic agriculture advancement. Also, as domestic ICT technology is a world-class level, it is essential to make strategies of creating a high value such as the increase of productivity, efficiency and quality throughout the whole phase of production, circulation and consumption with the convergence of the existing agriculture technology and IT core technology including information management and automatic control. Therefore, this paper suggests standardization items which lead global standard and implementation direction on standardization through analysing the current situation of agriculture-ICT convergence in our country and technology/standardization trend.

IT convergence with agriculture is expected to bring more efficiency and quality improvement in producing, distributing, consuming of agricultural products with the aid of information processing and autonomous control technologies of the IT area. Smart Farming based on network is a service which is capable of coping with environmental and technical problems with the actualized IT convergence case for agriculture. In this paper, it is required to consider the actualized IT convergence case for agriculture, namely Smart Farming as a solution to cope the presented problems. In addition, propose and suggest to standard model and standardization items requirement for the Smart Farming based on network.

Agricultural sector in Korea faces the threat of aging farmers and many other difficulties. Because agriculture is a very less-competitive industry in Korea and many solutions to improve the competitiveness of Korean agriculture should be studied. The advent of Internet of things(IoT) technology makes possible many new industries and business models in the current society. The adoption of this new technology in agriculture can bring about innovations in agricultural production and distribution as $6^{th}$ industry. This paper summarizes the opportunities in IoT and smart farm. The major benefits and obstacles in introducing smart farms are reviewed and the cases of two successful smart farms in Korea are analyzed. Through these case studies, we can recognize the current status and future strategies in Korean smart farms.

This study is a survey of people who are return to farming on the intention of accepting ICT convergence technology in agriculture. The research targets were 218 people based on convenience and judgment sampling methods, and the exploratory factor analysis and multiple return analysis were performed with SPSS 22.0. As a result, the independent variables such as performance expectation, effort expectation, and social influence had a positive effect on the acceptance intention of ICT convergence technology in agriculture. In addition, the moderating effects of innovation resistance on these influence relationships were also verified. The limitations of this study are the lack of verification of perception changes and the inability to control variables. As a result of this research, the results of the UTAUT in other fields were confirmed in this study. It is hoped that this study will further facilitate the research of agriculture in ICT convergence technology.
