AR contents, if markers to be tracked move fast, show flickering while updating images captured from cameras. Conventional methods employing image based markers and SLAM algorithms for tracking objects have the problem that they do not allow more than 2 objects to be tracked simultaneously and interacted with each other in the same camera scene. In this paper, an improved SLAM type algorithm for tracking dynamic objects is proposed and investigated to solve the problem described above. To this end, method using 2 virtual cameras for one physical camera is adopted, which makes the tracked 2 objects interacted with each other. This becomes possible because 2 objects are perceived separately by single physical camera. Mobile robots used as dynamic objects are synchronized with virtual robots in the well-designed contents, proving usefulness of applying the result of individual tracking for multiple moving objects to augmented visualization of objects.

Ships tend to be larger to increase the efficiency of cargo transportation. Larger ships lead to increased travel time for ship workers, increased work intensity, and reduced work efficiency. Problems such as increased work intensity are reducing the influx of young people into labor, along with the phenomenon of avoidance of high intensity labor by the younger generation. In addition, the rapid aging of the population and decrease in the young labor force aggravate the labor shortage problem in the maritime industry. To overcome this, the maritime industry has recently introduced technologies such as an intelligent production design platform and a smart production operation management system, and a smart autonomous logistics system in one of these technologies. The smart autonomous logistics system is a technology that delivers various goods using intelligent mobile robots, and enables the robot to drive itself by using sensors such as lidar and camera. Therefore, in this paper, it was checked whether the mobile robot could autonomously drive to the stop sign by detecting the passage way of the ship deck. The autonomous driving was performed by detecting the passage way of the ship deck through the camera mounted on the mobile robot based on the data learned through Nvidia's End-to-end learning. The mobile robot was stopped by checking the stop sign using SSD MobileNetV2. The experiment was repeated five times in which the mobile robot autonomously drives to the stop sign without deviation from the ship deck passage way at a distance of about 70m. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the mobile robot was driven without deviation from passage way. If the smart autonomous logistics system to which this result is applied is used in the marine industry, it is thought that the stability, reduction of labor force, and work efficiency will be improved when workers work.

As urbanization progresses in Korea, megacities are being formed around the metropolitan area, the central area, and the southeast area. In addition, it is accelerating the development of urban air mobility (UAM) that can be operated by Mega City as a new growth engine industry in the future. At the same time, in order to become a space powerhouse, Korea plans to establish its own Korean positioning system (KPS) by 2035. Therefore, if urban air mobility and location information services provided by the Korean positioning system are used in combination, urban air mobility can be stably operated in future megacities.

본 논문에서는 유전자 프로그래밍을 이용하여 온라인 적응 학습이 가능 진화 하드웨어의 진화 전략을 구성하였다. 유전자 프로그래밍은 특유의 트리형 개체구조가 여러 개의 프로세스의 합을 통한 복합 임무의 수행 구조로 해석될 수 있다는 이점에 비하여, 하드웨어 구현이 어렵고 crossover 연산자의 사용이 어렵다는 단점등에 의하여 진화 하드웨어의 동적 재구성 알고리즘으로 널리 사용되지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 유전자 프로그래밍의 이러한 단점을 극복할 수 있는 개체 표현 및 하드웨어 구현 방법을 제안하였으며, 제안된 방법론에 기존의 연구 결과를 결합하여 유전자 프로그래밍의 수행 효율을 높일 수 있는 진화 전략을 구성하였다. 제안된 진화 전략은 자율 이동 로봇 실험에 적용되어 효율성을 확인하였다.

'Multi-scale mass-deployable cooperative robots' is a next generation robotics paradigm where a large number of robots that vary in size cooperate in a hierarchical fashion to collect information in various environments. While this paradigm can exhibit the effective solution for exploration of the wide area consisting of various types of terrain, its technical maturity is still in its infant state and many technical hurdles should be resolved to realize this paradigm. In this paper, we propose to develop new design and manufacturing methodologies for the multi-scale mass-deployable cooperative robots. In doing so, we present various fundamental technologies in four different research fields. (1) Adaptable design methods consist of compliant mechanisms and hierarchical structures which provide robots with a unified way to overcome various and irregular terrains. (2) Soft composite materials realize the compliancy in these structures. (3) Multi-scale integrative manufacturing techniques are convergence of traditional methods for producing various sized robots assembled by such materials. Finally, (4) the control and communication techniques for the massive swarm robot systems enable multiple functionally simple robots to accomplish the complex job by effective job distribution.
