오늘날 일상생활에서 인간과 함께 생활하는 로봇들은 자연스러운 의사소통 방법이 요구된다. 따라서 기존의 단순한 로봇 제어 방식을 이용하여 제어하는 것 보다 실제 사람과 상호작용 하는 것과 같은 방식의 제어방식이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 연구들은 사람의 행동 자체를 인식하는 것에 초점이 맞추어져 있어서 자연스러운 의사소통을 하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 로봇을 제어하는 방법으로 자연스러운 손동작을 은닉 마르코프 모델(HMM: hidden markov model) 과 퍼지추론을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 키넥트 센서를 이용해 색상 데이터와 깊이 데이터를 획득하고 사람의 손을 검색하고 HMM과 Mamdani 퍼지추론을 이용하여 손동작을 인식한다. 인식된 결과를 로봇에게 전달하여 원하는 방향으로 이동시킨다.

Power peaking factors (PPF) is an important parameter for safe and efficient reactor operation. There are several methods to calculate the PPF at TRIGA research reactors such as MCNP and TRIGLAV codes. However, these methods are time-consuming and required high specifications of a computer system. To overcome these limitations, artificial intelligence was introduced for parameter prediction. Previous studies applied the neural network method to predict the PPF, but the publications using the ANFIS method are not well developed yet. In this paper, the prediction of PPF using the ANFIS was conducted. Two input variables, control rod position, and neutron flux were collected while the PPF was calculated using TRIGLAV code as the data output. These input-output datasets were used for ANFIS model generation, training, and testing. In this study, four ANFIS model with two types of input space partitioning methods shows good predictive performances with R² values in the range of 96%-97%, reveals the strong relationship between the predicted and actual PPF values. The RMSE calculated also near zero. From this statistical analysis, it is proven that the ANFIS could predict the PPF accurately and can be used as an alternative method to develop a real-time monitoring system at TRIGA research reactors.

The properties of soil are naturally highly variable and thus, to ensure proper safety and reliability, we need to test a large number of samples across the length and depth. In pile foundations, conducting field tests are highly expensive and the traditional empirical relations too have been proven to be poor in performance. The study proposes a state-of-art Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) hybridized Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS); and comparative analysis of metaheuristic models (ANN-PSO, ELM-PSO, ANFIS-PSO) for prediction of bearing capacity of pile foundation trained and tested on dataset of nearly 300 dynamic pile tests from the literature. A novel ensemble model of three hybrid models is constructed to combine and enhance the predictions of the individual models effectively. The authenticity of the dataset is confirmed using descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and sensitivity analysis. Ram weight and diameter of pile are found to be most influential input parameter. The comparative analysis reveals that ANFIS-PSO is the best performing model in testing phase (R² = 0.85, RMSE = 0.01) while ELM-PSO performs best in training phase (R² = 0.88, RMSE = 0.08); while the ensemble provided overall best performance based on the rank score. The performance of ANN-PSO is least satisfactory compared to the other two models. The findings were confirmed using Taylor diagram, error matrix and uncertainty analysis. Based on the results ELM-PSO and ANFIS-PSO is proposed to be used for the prediction of bearing capacity of piles and ensemble learning method of joining the outputs of individual models should be encouraged. The study possesses the potential to assist geotechnical engineers in the design phase of civil engineering projects.

This paper delves into the critical assessment of predicting sidewall displacement in underground caverns through the application of nine distinct machine learning techniques. The accurate prediction of sidewall displacement is essential for ensuring the structural safety and stability of underground caverns, which are prone to various geological challenges. The dataset utilized in this study comprises a total of 310 data points, each containing 13 relevant parameters extracted from 10 underground cavern projects located in Iran and other regions. To facilitate a comprehensive evaluation, the dataset is evenly divided into training and testing subset. The study employs a diverse array of machine learning models, including recurrent neural network, back-propagation neural network, K-nearest neighbors, normalized and ordinary radial basis function, support vector machine, weight estimation, feed-forward stepwise regression, and fuzzy inference system. These models are leveraged to develop predictive models that can accurately forecast sidewall displacement in underground caverns. The training phase involves utilizing 80% of the dataset (248 data points) to train the models, while the remaining 20% (62 data points) are used for testing and validation purposes. The findings of the study highlight the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model as the most effective in providing accurate predictions. The BPNN model demonstrates a remarkably high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.99) and a low error rate (RMSE = 4.27E-05), indicating its superior performance in predicting sidewall displacement in underground caverns. This research contributes valuable insights into the application of machine learning techniques for enhancing the safety and stability of underground structures.

최근 지능형 로봇에 대한 관심이 모아지고 있다. 지능형 로봇의 가장 큰 특징은 사용자를 추적, 인식하고 그 결과를 기반으로 상호활동적인 대응을 할 수 있다는 점이다. 얼굴인식이 다른 생채인식과의 비교에서 장점을 가질 수 있는 점은 비 강제성과 비 접촉성을 들 수 있다. 그러나 얼굴인식은 얼굴 취득단계부터 차원의 감소가 발생하고 인식하고자 하는 얼굴 및 주변 환경 변화가 매우 심하기 때문에 다른 생체인식에 비하여 인식률이 낮다. 얼굴인식의 성능을 저하시키는 요인들로는 조명변화, 포즈변화, 표정변화, 카메라와의 거리 등을 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실제 환경에서 얼굴 인식 성능에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 포즈변화에 대응하기 위하여 새로운 선형이동 능동형 카메라를 개발하여, 정면 얼굴에 근접한 영상을 취득하고 주성분 분석 및 Hidden Markov Model 알고리듬을 이용하여 인식률을 개선하고자 한다. 제한된 방법은 지능형 보안시스템 및 모바일 로봇에 적용하는 것을 목표로 개발 되었지만, 높은 정확도의 얼굴인식을 요구하는 응용분야에 널리 적용할 수가 있다.

The determination of the mixture parameters of stabilization has become a great concern in geotechnical applications. This paper presents an effort about the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques including radial basis neural network (RBNN), multi-layer perceptrons (MLP), generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in order to predict the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of silty soil stabilized with bottom ash (BA), jute fiber (JF) and steel fiber (SF) under different freeze-thaw cycles (FTC). The dosages of the stabilizers and number of freeze-thaw cycles were employed as input (predictor) variables and the UCS values as output variable. For understanding the dominant parameter of the predictor variables on the UCS of stabilized soil, a sensitivity analysis has also been performed. The performance measures of root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and determination coefficient ($R^2$) were used for the evaluations of the prediction accuracy and applicability of the employed models. The results indicate that the predictions due to all AI techniques employed are significantly correlated with the measured UCS ($p{\leq}0.05$). They also perform better predictions than nonlinear regression (NLR) in terms of the performance measures. It is found from the model performances that RBNN approach within AI techniques yields the highest satisfactory results (RMSE = 55.4 kPa, MAE = 45.1 kPa, and $R^2=0.988$). The sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the JF inclusion within the input predictors is the most effective parameter on the UCS responses, followed by FTC.

Generally, treated water or raw water is transported into storage reservoirs which are receiving facilities of local governments from multi-regional water supply systems. A water supply control and operation center is operated not only to manage the water facilities more economically and efficiently but also to mitigate the shortage of water resources due to the increase in water consumption. To achieve the goal, important information such as the flow-rate in the systems, water levels of storage reservoirs or tanks, and pump-operation schedule should be considered based on the resonable water demand forecasting. However, it is difficult to acquire the pattern of water demand used in local government, since the operating information is not shared between multi-regional and local water systems. The pattern of water demand is irregular and unpredictable. Also, additional changes such as an abrupt accident and frequent changes of electric power rates could occur. Consequently, it is not easy to forecast accurate water demands. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a short-term water demands forecasting and to develop an application of the forecasting models. In this study, the forecasting simulator for water demand is developed based on mathematical and neural network methods as linear and non-linear models to implement the optimal water demands forecasting. It is shown that MLP(Multi-Layered Perceptron) and ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) can be applied to obtain better forecasting results in multi-regional water supply systems with a large scale and local water supply systems with small or medium scale than conventional methods, respectively.

The usability of waste materials as raw materials is necessary for sustainable production. This study investigates the effects of different powder materials used to replace cement (0%, 5% and 10%) and standard sand (0%, 20% and 30%) (basalt, limestone, and dolomite) on the compressive strength (f_c), flexural strength (f_r), and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) of mortars exposed to freeze-thaw cycles (56, 86, 126, 186 and 226 cycles). Furthermore, the usability of artificial intelligence models is compared, and the prediction accuracy of the outputs is examined according to the inputs (powder type, replacement ratio, and the number of cycles). The results show that the variability of the outputs was significantly high under the freeze-thaw effect in mortars produced with waste powder instead of those produced with cement and with standard sand. The highest prediction accuracy for all outputs was obtained using the adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system model. The significantly high prediction accuracy was obtained for the UPV, f_c, and f_r of mortars produced using waste powders instead of standard sand (R² of UPV, f_c and f_f is 0.931, 0.759 and 0.825 respectively), when under the freeze-thaw effect. However, for the mortars produced using waste powders instead of cement, the prediction accuracy of UPV was significantly high (R²=0.889) but the prediction accuracy of f_c and f_r was low (R²f_c=0.612 and R²f_f=0.334).

본 연구는 뉴로퍼지 네트워크와 다항식 뉴럴네트워크를 합성한 하이브리드 모델링 구조인 고급 뉴로퍼지 다항식 네트워크(Advanced neurofuzzy polynomial networks ; ANFPN)를 제안한다. 제안된 네트워크 구조는 높은 비선형 규칙 기반 모델로, CI(Computational Intelligence)의 기술, 즉 퍼지집합, 뉴럴네트워크, 유전자 알고리즘에 의해 설계되어진다. 뉴로퍼지 네트워크는 ANFPN 구조의 전반부를, 다항식 뉴럴네트워크는 후반부를 구성한다. ANFPN의 전반부에서, 뉴로퍼지 네트워크는 간략추론, 오류역전파 학습 규칙을 이용한다. 멤버쉽함수의 파라미터, 학습율, 모멘텀 계수는 유전자 최적화를 이용하여 조절된다. ANFPN의 후반부 구조로서 다항식 뉴럴네트워크는 학습을 통해 생성되는(전개되는) 유연한 네트워크 구조이다. 특히 다항식 뉴럴네트워크의 층과 노드 수는 고정되어 있지 않고 동적으로 생성된다. 본 연구에서는, 2가지 형태의 ANFPN 구조를 제안한다. 즉 기본 구조와 변형된 구조이다. 여기서 기본 구조와 변형된 구조는 다항식 뉴럴네트워크 구조의 각 층에서 입력변수의 수와 회귀다항식의 차수에 의존한다. 두 결합 구조의 특징 때문에 공정 시스템의 비선형적인 특성을 고려할 수 있고 보다 우수한 예측능력을 가진 좋은 출력선응을 얻을 수 있게 한다. ANFPN의 유용성과 실용성은 2개의 수치 예제를 통해 논의된다. 제안된 ANFPN은 기존의 모델보다 높은 정밀도와 예측능력을 가진 모델을 생성함을 보인다.
