This study investigates human-robot interactions in a museum environment. Unlike robots in movies, robots in real life do not have 'personality,' but instead have a specific purpose and function. This research is primarily about the assignment of specific and appropriate personalities to robots in different contexts. Methods by which a definite personality can be imparted on a robot are discussed in this research. Previous research has addressed attempts to assign a robot personality based on the task context. However, the discussion of robot personality is incomplete. Therefore, we assumed that a robot's character was dependent on the characteristics of its location of use. We planned a $2{\times}2$ comparison of various robot personalities, i.e., introverted or extroverted paired with either a traditional museum or a process-oriented experiential experience. Based on Schmitt's (1999) strategic experiential modules, experiential factors were derived for each set of conditions. To achieve the objectives of the research, theoretical and empirical research were conducted simultaneously. The software JMP 9 was used to verify the research model and hypotheses.

영상 압축 기술의 발전과 인터넷의 보급으로 사람들은 언제 어디서나 고화질의 미디어를 쉽게 접할 수 있게 되었다. 또한 미디어 플레이어에서 문자열의 출력을 지원함으로써 사용자들은 쉽게 영상의 자막을 만들고 볼 수 있는 환경이 만들어졌다. 그러나 문자는 번역을 위한 역할만 할 뿐 미디어에서 나타내고자 하는 감성을 전달하는 역할은 하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 애니메이션 캐릭터와 콘텐츠 로봇을 사용하는 새로운 의미전달 기술을 적용한 감성형 콘텐츠 서비스를 제안한다. 제안하는 기술은 동기화 시나리오를 구성하여 미디어가 재생되는 동안 애니메이션 캐릭터 데이터를 제공하며, 또 다른 출력장치인 로봇과 동기화되어 상황에 따른 로봇의 움직임을 통해 시청자에게 내용 전달의 효과와 함께 감성 전달의 효율을 증대시켜주는 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 감성형 콘텐츠를 제작한 후 시현을 통해 감성 전달의 효율이 높아짐을 확인하였다.

Character conveys rich storytelling and various design elements. Domestic characters are changing and developing in various forms through SNS and offline sources, which are being developed in the aspect of contents industry. The purpose of this study is to find out and discuss the factors that character users are using Korean characters as storytelling and color factor. In terms of storytelling, they prefer adventure, fantasy, absurd and humorous stories. In terms of color, it seems that they prefer a character with simple and simple color/ warm color and warm / cute color composition. On the other hand, characters with a simple story, which is the main subject of early childhood education, fashion, or toys in the aspect of storytelling, are not preferred. In terms of color, it was shown that 4 or more colors were combined without a main color. These main colorless characters gave complex feelings that are not preferred. In terms of storytelling, it is necessary to develop and develop the contents of OSMU(One-source Multi use) through story development with adventure and fantasy structure. In terms of color, it is necessary to configure the user with a simple and simple color which is preferred by the users. Also, the assembly robot toy character needs to increase the satisfaction of the character through simple color composition. As a result of this study, the factors that satisfy the users in terms of storytelling and color are derived. These results will contribute to the development of theoretical aspects, storytelling aspects, and character design industry aspects. Despite the significance of the above paper, it was inevitable to limit the research on the analysis of the storytelling of specific characters, the research through the color analysis framework, the accurate data analysis on the color analysis, and the simple comparative analysis of one.

Scene Text Recognition is a technology used in the field of artificial intelligence that requires manless robot, automatic vehicles and human-computer interaction. Though scene text images are distorted by noise interference, such as illumination, low resolution and blurring. Unlike previous studies that recognized only English, this paper shows a strong recognition accuracy including various characters, English, Korean, special character and numbers. Instead of selecting only one class having the highest probability value, a candidate word can be generated by considering the probability value of the second rank as well, thus a method can be corrected an existing language misrecognition problem.

When a mobile robot moves around autonomously without man-made corrupted bye landmarks, it is essential to recognize the placement of surrounding objects especially for self localization, obstacle avoidance, and target classification and localization. To recognize the environment we use many Kinds of sensors, such as ultrasonic sensors, laser range finder, CCD camera, and so on. Among the sensors, ultra sonic sensors(sonar)are unexpensive and easy to use. In this paper, we analyze the sonar data and propose a method to recognize features of indoor environment. It is supposed that the environments are consisted of features of planes, edges, and corners, For the analysis, sonar data of plane, edge, and corner are accumulated for several given ranges. The data are filtered to eliminate some noise using the Kalman filter algorithm. Then, the data for each feature are compared each other to extract the character is ties of each feature. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method using the sonar data obtained form a sonar transducer rotating and scanning the range information around a indoor environment.
