To keep pace with Industry 4.0, it is imperative for companies to redesign their working environments by adopting robotic automation systems. Automation lines are facilitating the latest cutting-edge technologies, such as 3D vision and industrial robots, to outdo competitors by reducing costs. Considering the nature of the manufacturing industry, a time-saving workflow and smooth linkwork between processes is vital. At Dellics, without any additional new installation in the automation lines, only a few improvements to the working process could raise productivity. Three requirements are the development of gripping technology by utilizing a 3D vision system for the recognition of the material shape and location, research on lighting projectors to target long distances and high illumination, and testing of algorithms/software to improve measurement accuracy and identify products. With some of the functional requisites mentioned above, improved robotic automation systems should provide an improved working environment to maximize overall production efficiency. In this article, the ways in which such a system can become the groundwork for establishing an unmanned working infrastructure are discussed.

Because a product in the car industry has a short life cycle in recent years, the process planning and the manufacturing lines have to be changed frequently. Most of time, repositioning an existing facility and modifying used control information are faster than making completely new process planning. However, control information and control code such as PLC code are difficult to understand. Hence, industries prefer writing a new control code instead of using the existing complex one. It shows the lack of information reusability in the existing process planning. As a result, to reduce this redundancy and lack of reusability, we propose a SOS-Net modeling method. SOS-Net is a standard methodology used to describe control information. It is based on the Device Structure which consists of sensor information derived from device hardware information. Thus, SOS-Net can describe a real control state for automated manufacturing systems. The SOS-Net model is easy to understand and can be converted into PLC Code easily. It also enables to modify control information, thus increases the reusability of the new process planning. Proposed model in this paper plays an intermediary role between the process planning and PLC code generation. It can reduce the process planning and implementation time as well as cost.

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.

An investigation on psychophysiological health and social well-being of shift workers been carried out on workers of a automobile manufacturing plant in Ulsan, for 1 month from April, 1993. This cross-sectional survey compared shift workers(n=544) with day workers(n=115). Each subject completed a questionnaire about his personal habit, background, shift schedule, sleep and eating patterns, subjective digestive symptom and psychological well-being and distress using the General Well-Being Schedule(GWB) by self administrated questionnaire that was developed for the U.S. Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (HANES I). Chi-square analysis was used for discontinuous data and the t-test was used for continous data to determine whether differences noted between the two groups. In terms of sleep quality, a greater percentage of shift workers frequently had trouble getting back to sleep once awakend(p<0.01), and a greater percentage of shift workers awakend tired or sleepy frequently more often than day workers(p<0.05). In rating the quality of their sleep, more shift workers rated their sleep fair to poor than day workers, and greater percentage of shift workers felt tired or sleepy at work two or more times per week(p<0.01) and a much higher percentage of shift workers felt tired or sleepy after work every days(p<0.01). In terms of sleep patterns, a much higher percentage of day workers reported uninterrupted sleep per 24hours than shift workers. The shift workers reported different eating patterns from day workers but there were no statistically significant and rate of their appetite. Thirteen percent of day workers reported the best appetite but only 6.6% of shift workers had the best appetite. The gastric complaints is more frequent in shift workers than day workers(p<0.01). Among subscores in General Well-Being Schedule, anxiety, depression, positive well-being and vitality subscale of shift workers were lower than those of day workers(p<0.05) and general health and self control subscale of shift workers were lower than .those of day workers but there were no statistical significant difference. Based on these study result, it could be concluded that the shift work has significant effects on some psychophysiological conditions of the workers.

Objectives : The objective of this study is to compare the circadian patterns of heart rate variability assessed by 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings during day shift and night shift among the workers in the 5 days-concecutive-12-hour shift in an automobile factory in Korea. Methods : The study population consisted 300 workers, who were randomly selected among the 8700 total workers in one car factory. To analyse circadian variation, the 24-hour ECG recordings (Marquette) were measured during day shift (08:00-20:00 h) and night shift (20:00-08:00 h). Analysis was performed for all time and frequency domain measures of HRV. 233 workers completed taking 24-hour ECG recordings. Results : This study shows that the 24 hourcircadian variation mainly follows work/sleep cycle rather than day/night cycle among shift workers. This study also shows that among the night shift, the circadian variation between work and sleep cycle decreased compared to the work/sleep cycle among day shift workers. All time and frequency domain parameters (except LF/HF ratio) show significantly different between work and sleep in the day shift and night shift. Conclusion : These changes in heart rate variability circadian rhythms reflect significant reductions in cardiac parasympathetic activity with the most marked reduction in normal vagal activity among the shift workers. Especially, it suggests the circadian rhytm has blunted among the night workers. The quantification of the circadian variation in HRV can be a surrogates of workers' potential health risk, as well as suggests possible mechanisms through which the shift works compromise workers' health.

There are serious damage of people and properties every year due to landslides that are occurred by heavy rain. Because these phenomena repeat and the heavy rain is not an atmospheric anomaly, the counter plan becomes necessary. The study area, Ulsan, is one of the seven metropolitan, and largest cities of Korea and has many large facilities such as petrochemical complex and factories of automobile and shipbuilding. So it is necessary assess the landslide hazard potential. In the study. the three steps of landslide hazard assessment techniques such as susceptibility, possibility, and risk were performed to the study area using GIS. For the analyses, the topographic, geologic, soil, forest, meteorological, and population and facility spatial database were constructed. Landslide susceptibility representing how susceptible to a given area was assessed by overlay of the slope, aspect, curvature of topography from the topographic DB, type, material, drainage and effective thickness of soil from the soil DB, lype age, diameter and density from forest DB and land use. Then landslide possibility representing how possible to landslide was assessed by overlay of the susceptibility and rainfall frequency map, Finally, landslide risk representing how dangerous to people and facility was assessed by overlay of the possibil. ity and the population and facility density maps The assessment results can be used to urban and land use plan for landslide hazard prevention.

Today's healthcare, intelligent robots, smart home systems, and car sharing are already innovating with cutting-edge information and communication technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things, the Internet of Intelligent Things, and Big data. It is deeply affecting our lives. In the factory, robots have been working for humans more than several decades (FA, OA), AI doctors are also working in hospitals (Dr. Watson), AI speakers (Giga Genie) and AI assistants (Siri, Bixby, Google Assistant) are working to improve Natural Language Process. Now, in order to understand AI, knowledge of mathematics becomes essential, not a choice. Thus, mathematicians have been given a role in explaining such mathematics that make these things possible behind AI. Therefore, the authors wrote a textbook 'Basic Mathematics for Artificial Intelligence' by arranging the mathematics concepts and tools needed to understand AI and machine learning in one or two semesters, and organized lectures for undergraduate and graduate students of various majors to explore careers in artificial intelligence. In this paper, we share our experience of conducting this class with the full contents in http://matrix.skku.ac.kr/math4ai/.

유비쿼터스 환경에서는 사용자가 컴퓨터 및 네트워크의 존재를 의식하지 않는 상태에서 다양한 서비스를 이용하게 된다. 주변에 있는 PC, 냉장고, TV, 자동차 등의 모든 기기에 프로세서가 내장되고 네트워크가 연결되어 특정한 서비스를 제공하기 위해 함께 동작하게 된다. 이러한 장치와 서비스들을 연동하기 위한 현재의 솔루션은 클라이언트-서버 방식의 분산 컴퓨팅 모델이다. 각각의 장치가 원격 프로시듀어 흑은 원격 객체의 형태로 서버를 제공하고 이들을 하나의 클라이언트가 시나리오대로 그것들을 호출함으로써 응용을 완성할 수 있다. 하지만, 이러한 분산 컴퓨팅 모델을 지원하는 프로그래밍 환경으로는 다음과 같은 한계가 있다. 첫째, 소프트웨어 배치(deployment) 문제가 발생한다. 수 많은 시나리오를 생각해 볼 수 있는 유비쿼터스 환경에서는 특정 장치를 공장에서 생산하여 출고할 때 어떤 서버 소프트웨어가 미리 설치되어야 하는지는 가늠할 수 없는 문제이다. 둘째, 성능 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 각 장치의 함수를 호출하는 것은 대부분 원격 함수(remote procedure)이므로 한번 호출하는데 상당한 자원이 소요된다. 하지만, 시나리오를 구현하기 위해서는 특정 장치의 함수를 여러 번 호출해야 되는 상황이 자주 연출된다. 이러한 상황을 피하여 성능을 향상 시키기 위해서는 각 장치에 요구되는 부문 시나리오가 한번에 호출로 처리될 수 있어야 한다. 셋째, 유지 보수 문제가 발생할 수 있다 하나의 서비스가 여러 개의 서버 프로그램과 클라이언트 프로그램으로 구성되기 때문에 한번 업그레이드를 할 때 모든 구성 요소들이 모두 버전 업이 되어야 한다. 넷째, 유비쿼터스 환경에 적합한 추상화 개념의 부재를 들 수 있다. 다양한 장치, 웹서비스 및 데이터 들이 연동되어 하나의 서비스 시나리오를 구현함에 있어서 현재의 프로그래밍 언어는 높은 수준의 추상화 개념을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 코드 기술을 프로그래밍 언어에 적용하여 유비쿼터스 환경에서의 다양한 장치들과 서비스들을 손쉽게 통합하여 애플리케이션 시나리오를 구현할 수 있는 새로운 프로그래밍 언어인 유비스크립트(ubiscript)를 제안한다. 유비스크립트에서는 모바일 코드의 개념을 통해서 앞서 언급한 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 모바일 코드에서는 프로그램 코드가 네트워크를 통해서 컴퓨터를 이동하면서 수행되는 개념인데, 이는 물리적으로 떨어져있으면서 네트워크로 연결되어 있는 다양한 컴퓨팅 장치가 서로 연동하기 위한 모델에 가장 적합하다. 이는 기본적으로 배포(deploy)라는 단계가 필요 없게 되고, 새로운 버전의 프로그램이 작성될지라도 런타임에 코드가 직접 이동하게 되므로 버전 관리의 문제도 해결된다. 게다가 원격 함수를 매번 호출하지 않고 한번 이동된 코드가 원격지에서 모두 수행을 하게 되므로 성능향상에도 도움이 된다. 장소 객체(Place Object)와 원격 스코프(Remote Scope)는 앞서 설명한 특징을 직접적으로 지원하는 언어 요소이다. 장소 객체는 모바일 코드가 이동해서 수행될 계산 환경(computational environment)에 대한 레퍼런스이다. 원격 스코프는 원격지의 컴퓨터에 존재하는 계산 환경의 스코프(scope)를 로컬 계산 환경에 적용할 수 있도록 하는 언어 요소이다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 장치와 서비스들을 연동하기에는 현재의 프로그래밍 모델은 배포, 유지 보수, 성능 등의 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 코드 개념을 도입한 새로운 프로그래밍 언어인 유비스크립트를 제안하여 이러한 문제점들을 극복하고자 하였다. 유비스크립트에서는 유비쿼터스 환경을 직접적으로 표현할 수 있도록 새로운 언어 요소인 장소 객체와 원격 스코프 개념을 도입하였고, 프로토타입과 가상의 시나리오 구현을 통하여 기존의 프로그래밍 언어보다 유비쿼터스 환경에 더 적합하고, 단순하며 생산성이 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다.
