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.

In this paper, we designed efficient reception system using service robot based on the RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) and HL7(Health Level 7) Protocol. The proposed system offer a paramedic the medical information of the patient, and the patients can receive on a much simpler scale than previously through stable and quick information exchange by RFID and HL7. In addition, We considered environment of medical treatment and designed and implemented standard HL7 message structure. This system was implemented service robots to reception of medical treatment. Furthermore, we have plan to develop bio-sensor which can measure blood pressure, body temperature, etc and interface with robot system by HL7.

현대기술의 발달로 인해 인간의 삶 중 많은 부분을 기계가 차지하고 있다. 특히 로봇공학 분야는 위험하거나 혹은 매우 정밀함을 요하는 일, 단순반복 등 인간이 기피하거나 하기 어려운 일을 대신 해줌으로서 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이에 우리는 우리 생활에 가장 깊숙히 들어와 있는 로봇팔분야에 대해 말하고자 한다. 현재 로봇팔은 산업용은 물론, 의료용, 재해용 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 하지만 매우 정밀하고 정확한 작업을 위해 만들어져 있음에도 불구하고, 약간의 충격에도 이상이 생긴다거나, 기기의 이음세 부분의 잦은 회전으로 마모가 발생하게 되고 그에 따라 미세한 오차가 발생한다. 그런 상황을 방지하고자, 우리는 PSD(Position Sensitive Detecter)센서를 이용해 실시간으로 굽힘각을 측정 및 감시하여 보다 정확한 구동을 유도하려 한다. 이는 단순한 로봇팔만이 아닌 휴머노이드나 다른 회전을 이용하는 기기라면 어디든 쉽게 적용 할 수 있을 것이다.

In medical ultrasound imaging systems, Side lobes may appear if signals outside the imaging point are not completely removed during receive focusing. If the time signal of the side lobe overlaps with the time signal (main lobe) from the image point, it is difficult to completely remove it using filter processing in the time domain. However, In the receive focusing process, when time-channel signals are Fourier-transformed, the main lobe and side lobe signals are spatially separated in the spectral domain. Therefore, the side lobes can be suppressed by multiplying the image with magnitude weights, which are determined by the magnitudes of the main and side lobes calculated in the spectral domain. In addition, when the main lobe and the side lobe spectrum are adjacent, the distance weight was applied based on the distance between them. In a 5 MHz ultrasound imaging system using a 64-channel linear transducer, point reflector and speckle images with cysts of various brightness were synthesized and weights were applied to the ultrasound image. Using computer simulations, we confirmed that the side lobes were greatly reduced without affecting the spatial resolution in the point reflector image, and the contrast was significantly improved in the cyst image with computer simulations.

In this study, a novel electromagnetic microrobot system with locomotion and drilling functions in threedimensional space was developed. Because of size limitations, the microrobot does not have actuator, battery, and controller. Therefore, an electromagnetic actuation (EMA) system was used to drive the robot. The proposed EMA system consists of three rectangular Helmholtz coil pairs in x-, y- and z-axes and a Maxwell coil pair in the z-axis. The magnetic field generated in the EMA coil system could be controlled by the input current of the EMA coil. Finally, through various experiments, the locomotion and drilling performances of the proposed EMA microrobot system were verified.

When a doctor examines a patient in a hospital, the doctor directly checks the patient's condition and conducts a face-to-face diagnosis through dialogue with the patient. However, it is often difficult for doctors to directly treat patients. Recently, several types of telemedicine systems have been developed. However, the systems have lack of capabilities to observe heart disease, neck condition, skin condition, inside ear condition, etc. To solve this problem, in this paper, an interactive telemedicine robot system with autonomous driving in a room capable of visual examination and auscultation of patients is developed. The developed robot can be controlled remotely through the WebRTC platform to move toward the patient and check a patient's condition under the doctor's observation using the multi-joint robot arm. The video information, audio information, patient's heart sound, and other data obtained remotely from patients can be transmitted to a doctor through the web RTC platform. The developed system can be applied to the various places where doctors are not possible to attend.

This paper proposes a calibration method for a freehand 3-D ultrasound system in medical robotic research. The calibration block with six wires was designed to set the fixed target points. The positions of the ultrasound probe and calibration block were measured using an optical tracker. The relationship between the position of the ultrasound probe and the pixel coordinates in the images was derived using a calibration process. The scaling matrix was also calculated. The experimental results showed that the proposed method could find solutions using a simple least square method from one or multiple ultrasound images.

In this work, 4-DOF ER haptic master is proposed and integrated with a slave robot for minimally invasive surgery(MIS). Using a controllable ER fluid, the haptic master can generate a repulsive force/torque with the 4-DOF motion. For realization of master-slave robot system, the motion command of the haptic master is realized by slave surgery robot. In order to follow the 4-DOF motion of the haptic master, novel mechanism of slave surgery robot with gimbal joint is devised. Accordingly, the haptic master-slave robot system is established by incorporating the slave robot with the haptic master device in which the desired repulsive force/torque and position are transferred to each other via wireless communications. In order to obtain the desired force/torque and position trajectories, tracking controllers for haptic master and slave robot are designed and implemented, respectively. It has been demonstrated that the desired effective torque tracking control performance is well achieved using the proposed haptic master-slave robot system.
