The increased intelligence and speed of vehicle infotainment, whose main purpose was emergency and external communication, is showing the potential for application to various services such as navigation and autonomous driving. In particular, functionality for linking external devices and infrastructure is being strengthened due to advances in communication and networks. Under this trend, it is necessary to consider the direction of linkage with the cooperative intelligent transportation system (C-ITS) for advanced vehicle services and driving. In addition, in the case of automobiles, future vehicle development concepts are being established based on the concept of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) in line with the trend of electrification beyond telematics and infotainment advancements, and such SDV linkage must be considered at the same time. In this paper, we consider the future direction of ITS and SDV linkage based on analysis of vehicle infotainment structure. First, for this purpose, we analyze the existing vehicle infotainment structure and architecture, and also present the structure of the SDV linked to it. Based on this, analysis and implications are drawn on the possibility of applying and linking standard-based C-ITS services with SDV devices.

There are many researches to develop robots that improve its mobility to adapt in various uneven environments. In the paper, a hybrid mobile robot that can dock with the other robot and transforms between wheeled robot and legged robot is proposed. The hybrid mobile robot platform has docking device with a peg and a cup module. In addition, the robot is possible to walk and drive according to condition of the road. A navigation algorithm of the hybrid mobile robot is proposed to improve the mobility of robots using docking algorithm based on image processing on the broken road and uneven terrain. The proposed method recognizes road condition through PSD sensor attached in front and bottom of the robot and selects an appropriate navigation method according to terrain surface. The proposed docking and navigation methods are verified through experiments using hybrid mobile robots.

In the paper, we propose an improved mobility method of modular robots by physical docking in the uneven environments. The modular robot system consists of autonomous docking device, 3 DOF robotic arm, motion controller, and main controller. Real-time location and direction of the robot are estimated using inner GPS and they are used to control direction and path of each robot for physical docking between modular robots. We design a navigation algorithm of modular robot using physical docking and cooperative navigation in the environment with broken road and low stair. The proposed method is verified by navigation experiments of three developed modular robots in the uneven environments.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a machine learning-based marine drone to prevent the farming from harmful birds such as ducks. Existing drones have been developed as marine drones to solve the problem of being lost if they collide with birds in the air or are in the sea. We designed a CNN-based learning algorithm to judge harmful birds that appear on the sea by maritime drones operating by autonomous driving. It is designed to transmit video to the control PC by connecting the Raspberry Pi to the camera for location recognition and tracking of harmful birds. After creating a map linked with the location GPS coordinates in advance at the mobile-based control center, the GPS location value for the location of the harmful bird is received and provided, so that a marine drone is dispatched to combat the harmful bird. A bird fighting drone system was designed and implemented.

Vehicle average speed information which measured at a point or a short section has a problem in that it cannot accurately provide the speed changes on an actual highway. In this study, segment separation method based on vehicle big data for accurate micro-speed estimation is proposed. In this study, to find the point where the speed deviation occurs using location-based individual vehicle big data, time and space mean speed functions were used. Next, points being changed micro-scale speed are classified through gradual segment separation based on geohash. By the comparative evaluation for the results, this study presents that the link-based speed is could not represent accurate speed for micro-scale segments.

This study analyzed technology application field and technology transfer type related to the 4th industrial revolution using frequency, visualization, and association analysis of text mining of Big Data. The analysis was conducted between the last three years (2015 - 2017) registered with the NTB of KIAT transfer technology database was utilized. As a result of analysis, First, First, transfer technologies called core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are a lot of about robots, 3D, autonomous driving, and wearables. Second, as the year go by, transfer technolgy registration such as IoT, Cloud, VR is increasing. Third, the results of the association analysis of technology transfer type are as follows. IoT and VR showed preference for technology trading and licensing, autonomous driving technology trading, wearable licensing, robots preferring technology cooperation, licensing, and technology trading.

In this paper, we propose a design method and process for hardware and software of hybrid V2X communication module that supports both C-ITS communication protocol designed for vehicle environment and Legacy LTE communication technology. C-ITS is suitable for safety service applications due to its low latency characteristics, and Legacy LTE is a technology suitable for non-safety applications such as traffic information and infotainment due to high latency and high capacity. The hybrid V2X communication module supports multiple communication technologies of WAVE and LTE, in which WAVE supports multiple channels, so that it is designed to transmit road information such as LDM and positioning correction information to an autonomous vehicle in real time. The main design results presented in this paper will be applied to the implementation of future hybrid V2X communication terminals for vehicles.

Due to the recent accident caused by the automated vehicle, discussions on the ethical aspects of AI have been actively underway. This paper confirms that AI is inevitably connected to ethical components through the concepts and techniques related to robots-AI, and argues that ethical aspects are built-in, not post facto. Furthermore, this devises a solution to the trolley dilemma that can serve as a clue to ethical problems associated with automated vehicles. Preferentially, that process contains writing Bayesian networks. Next, only important and influential data are left after the pre-processing stage, and crowd-sourcing & extrapolation is used to calculate the exact figures of the networks. Through this process, this argues that humans' subjects are certainly included in implementing algorithms and models and discusses the necessity and direction of engineering liberal arts, especially education of ethics that distinguished from major education to prevent distortions and biases abouts AI systems.

In this paper, we proposed a miniaturized folded inverted F antenna with ISM-band (center frequency : 447 MHz) for mounting in intelligent parking sensor. First, to mount the antenna in the intelligent parking sensor module (72 mm × 70 mm) with limited size, a folded inverted F antenna was designed at low frequency 447 MHz (wavelength λ : 670 mm) of the ISM-band. As a result, it resonates in the ISM band and obtains suitable characteristic with a -10 dB bandwidth of 13 MHz (2.9%). In addition, the H-plane pattern by the vertical and horizontal elements represents the omni-directional patterns from which the null point is removed, and the E-plane has directivity in a specific direction. Finally, it is suitable as and antenna for vehicle management in parking lots.
