In the existing pharmacy automation system, quantity control was carried out only in the memory without first measuring the quantity of the medicine and during the operation of the facility. As a result, the number of drugs that have already been deducted during operation at the time of a facility error has not been managed. Serious problems are caused by important medicines that need to be managed because of lack of quantity control. In addition, the user had to refill the drug when it was exhausted because the user could not know the amount of the drug outside the facility. When the drug was out of stock, the facility was operating with loss of time to restart and the time to replenish the drug. Thus, in this paper, we designed and applied system to control the quantity of medicines frequently by adding displacement sensors to the robot of the facility.

Image production using three-dimensional (3D) programs undergoes a process called rendering to visualize 3D data. Because this process is time-consuming and costly, the reduction of rendering cost has emerged as an important problem that requires resolution. This work aims to overcome the limitations of the current 3D image production pipeline and propose a method for reducing the production time by adopting a game engine for real-time rendering. In the experiment conducted in this study, rendering using Maya (a 3D production program) and Unity were compared and analyzed. The analysis results indicate that Unity enables rendering in real time; consequently, the rendering cost is reduced. Moreover, the quality of the rendered image is similar to that produced by Maya. The proposed technique involves reducing the render time and providing guidance through access to a real-time rendering engine.

Recently, the need to introduce smart farms is increasing in order to solve the problems of intensifying competition such as a decrease in rural population due to aging, a decrease in production, and the inflow of foreign agricultural products, and accordingly, the need for education is increasing. This paper is a study on the implementation of an Android-based IoT smart farm for education so that it can be used in a real environment by reducing the farm's smart farm system. To confirm that Android-based education can be applied in a real environment using the IoT smart farm for education, experiments were performed in automatic mode and manual mode using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and server/client communication methods. In the automatic mode, the current status can be checked in real time by receiving all data, and in the manual mode, commands are transmitted in real time using the received sensor data and remote control is performed. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to understand the characteristics of each communication method, and it was confirmed that remote monitoring and remote control of the smart farm using the Android App was possible.

As the realization of the 4th industrial revolution is approaching, the paradigm of the corporate work environment is changing to digital, from the traditional work environment. In particular, technologies like RPA(robotic process automation) and chatbot reduce the need for human labor or task by automating simple repetitive tasks, enabling humans to focus on more valuable tasks. In this study, corporates operating expense management services in public cloud computing environments develop a cloud module that simplifies expense report management by grafting robotic process automation and chatbot technology. According to the result of the expert evaluation, the developed system marked 80.3% of satisfaction levels and the highest satisfaction level 94% was confirmed in terms of easy of use. Based on the research result, future research can be suggested to expand the works occurring inside and outside the company to a single RPA environment by additionally linking the work system related to expense management.

The development of unmanned robots and UAVs has increased the need for path planning methods such as RRT^* algorithm. It mostly works well in various environments and is utilized in many fields. A lot of research has been conducted to obtain a better path in terms of efficiency through various modifications to the RRT^* algorithm, and the performance of the algorithm is continuously improved thanks to these efforts. In this study, a method using the limitation of sampling range is proposed as an extension of these efforts. Based on the idea that a path passing close to obstacles is similar to the optimal path in obstacle environments, nodes are produced around the obstacle. Also, rewiring algorithm is modified to quickly obtain the path. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated by comparative analysis of the previous basic algorithm and the generated path is tracked by a UAV's kinematic model for further verification.

With the expansion of the indoor service-providing robot market and the electrification of automobiles, research on autonomous driving is being actively conducted. In general, in the case of outside, the location is mainly recognized through GPS, and location positioning is performed indoors using technologies such as WiFi, UWB (Ultra-Wide Band), VLP, LiDAR, and Vision. In this paper, we introduce a system for location-positioning using LED lights with different color temperatures in an indoor environment. After installing LED lights in a simulated environment such as a tunnel, it was shown that information about the current location can be obtained through the analysis of chromaticity values according to location. Through this, it is expected to be able to obtain information about the location of the vehicle in the tunnel and the movement of the device in a room such as a warehouse or a factory.
