Together with the development of ubiquitous computing technology and robot technology, intelligent type robots are being utilized in many areas and the range is expected to become wider and wider. Among many service robots, the educational robots are being diversely studied in the field with the concept of r-Learning. Presently, teaching assistant robots require a lot of HRI studies prior to their practical use in the very near future and are not sufficient yet. Especially, the reactions of students based of the styles of robots (e.g. serious robot, playful robot) are very important in producing robot contents but there has been no case study on them. Therefore, in this study, the appearance of the IROBI was changed to become a teaching assistant robot and was used to test and compare elementary school students' interest, achievement and concentration depending on the styles of robot (playful, serious). The results showed that the interest was high in the group that had studied with the playful robot. The achievement however, did not show significant relations with the style of robot and that the concentration was high in the group that had studied with the serious robot.

This paper provokes considerations on companionship. As human-robot relation becomes important, the role and communication styles of robot become crucial. In order to see how we should design communication styles of social robots, we generated scenarios based on pre-studies. Then, we conducted a $2{\times}2$ experiment to compare four different conditions by expected role and communication style. We divided expected roles into playing and serving role by dominance level. Also, we matched communication style on one condition and mismatched on the other. The results imply matching role with communication style is crucial in some role, however not in every role. As HCI expands to human-computer relation, our study would inspire future research on companionship between human and robots.

This paper implements the graphic service template authoring tool based on the service template object model of describing the meta information of the services in the semantic web service environment. Our proposed system provides the robot services by constructing web services automatically and making the appropriate service plans. Moreover, it can create, append, delete, and update the service templates of URC based on STDL, and provide the graphic function on service template resources. In order to provide the user friendly environment in the service template phase, we implement the various editing environment : flow view style, grid view style, and text view style. We also provide the easy editing function by realizing abstract service block based on the robot API. Finally we can offer the intelligent and autonomous service of service agent based on semantic information.

According to spreading K-pop globally, the market size related to K-pop stars is increasingly growing at home and abroad. Recently, services and products having direct interaction with the star are emerging. This research aims to propose a new service using a smart, connected social robotic figure that can support interaction between fans and K-pop stars. For this study, we begin by exploring literature about K-pop culture. Also, we investigate cases that connect between fans and stars and then build the development directions for a new service. Based on these development directions, we extract feasible technology and its interaction elements through analysing the cases of social robots. Finally, we propose the social robotic figure service in this research. This service proposed in this study can create and enhance diverse bidirectional communication between fans and stars through employing a user-customized, smart, connected figure based on a IoT platform. This research contributes to approaches for sustainable advance of K-pop through applying IoT technology.

본 연구에서는 공업계 고등학교 재학생 중 자율주행로봇 대회에 출전하려는 학생들을 대상으로 삼았다. 자율주행로봇 대회를 준비할 때는 프로그래밍, 로봇제작 등을 연습한다. 학생들은 대회를 준비하면서 성과에 대한 부담을 많이 가지고 있지만, 대회를 준비하는 과정에서 본인의 의도대로 결과물이 나타나지 않았을 때, 학습된 무기력에 빠질 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자율주행로봇 대회의 출전을 준비하면서 발생할 수 있는 학습된 무기력을 극복하기 위하여 회복탄력성을 증진할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

This paper aims to show that cooperative robots, which have only been used in manufacturing sites, are expanding their scope of use in daily living spaces due to the expansion of non-face-to-face services. By combining robots and IoT technologies in terms of diversifying services in daily life and customized service areas, it is expected that the general public will also have easy access to smart technologies, and these technologies will be used in more areas. The robot barista system will provide customers with the services they want, monitoring, maintenance, and management of the system, making this paper convenient for customers, as well as managers who run stores, maintenance and repair, and engineers who design the system. This paper attempts to demonstrate this through a structure called Robopresso.

As the use of the Internet becomes more popular, a huge amount of information is published on the Web, and users can access the information effectively with Web search services. Since Web search services retrieve relevant documents from those collected by Web robots we need to improve the crawling quality of Web robots. In this paper, we suggest evaluation criteria for Web robots such as efficiency, continuity, freshness, coverage, silence, uniqueness and safety, and present various functions to improve the performance of Web robots. We also investigate the functions implemented in the conventional Web robots of NAVER, Google, AltaVista etc. It is expected that this study could contribute the development of more effective Web robots.
