본 연구의 목적은 TAM 모델에서의 신념변수인 지각된 유용성을 기대불일치이론에 근거하여 지각된 유용성과 기대된 유용성의 불일치정도로 개념화 하고자 한다. 이를 통해 신기술 수용에 관한 개인의 혁신성과 URC로봇의 유용성에 대한 기대불일치정도가 태도와 이용의도에 영향을 미치는 과정을 규명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 2006년과 2007년 두 차례에 걸쳐 1000가구를 대상으로 실시된 URC 시범서비스 가구를 대상으로 각각 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 두 차례 설문 모두에 응답한 설문응답을 대상으로 실증분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 개인 혁신성은 유용성의 기대불일치정도(지각된 유용성-기대된 유용성)에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 유용성의 기대불일치정도는 사용자 태도와 이용의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 사용자 태도는 이용의도와 유의미한 수준에서 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

An increasing number of researches and developments for personal or professional service robots are attracting a lot of attention and interest industrially and academically during the past decade. Furthermore, the development of intelligent robots is intensively fostered as strategic industry. Until now, most of practical and commercial service robots are worked by remotely operated controller. The most important technical issue of remote control is a wireless communication, especially in the indoor and unstructured environments where communication infrastructures might be destroyed by various disasters. Therefore we propose a multi-robot following navigation method for securing the valid communication distance extension of the remote control based on WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Networks). The concept and implementation of following navigation are introduced and the performance verification is performed through real navigation experiments in real or test-bed environments.

Robot navigation allows robot mobility. Therefore, mobility is an area of robotics that has been actively investigated since robots were first developed. In recent years, interest in personal service robots for homes and public facilities has increased. As a result, robot navigation within the home environment, which is an indoor environment, is being actively investigated. However, the problem with conventional navigation algorithms is that they require a large computation time for their building mapping and path planning processes. This problem makes it difficult to cope with an environment that changes in real-time. Therefore, we propose a humanoid robot navigation algorithm consisting of an image processing and optimization algorithm. This algorithm realizes navigation with less computation time than conventional navigation algorithms using map building and path planning processes, and can cope with an environment that changes in real-time.

The RT(Robot Technology) has been developed as the next generation of a future technology. According to the 2002 technical report from Mitsubishi R&D center, IT(Information Technology) and RT(Robotic Technology) fusion system will grow five times larger than the current IT market at the year 2015. Moreover, a recent IEEE report predicts that most people will have a robot in the next ten years. RCP(Robotic Cellular Phone), CP(Cellular Phone) having personal robot services, will be an intermediate hi-tech personal machine between one CP a person and one robot a person generations. RCP infra consists of $RCP^{Mobility}$, $RCP^{Interaction}$, $RCP^{Integration}$ technologies. For $RCP^{Mobility}$, human-friendly motion automation and personal service with walking and arming ability are developed. $RCP^{Interaction}$ ability is achieved by modeling an emotion-generating engine and $RCP^{Integration}$ that recognizes environmental and self conditions is developed. By joining intelligent algorithms and CP communication network with the three base modules, a RCP system is constructed. Especially, the RCP interaction system is really focused in this paper. The $RCP^{interaction}$(Robotic Cellular Phone for Interaction) is to be developed as an emotional model CP as shown in figure 1. $RCP^{interaction}$ refers to the sensitivity expression and the link technology of communication of the CP. It is interface technology between human and CP through various emotional models. The interactive emotion functions are designed through differing patterns of vibrator beat frequencies and a feeling system created by a smell injection switching control. As the music influences a person, one can feel a variety of emotion from the vibrator's beats, by converting musical chord frequencies into vibrator beat frequencies. So, this paper presents the definition, the basic theory and experiment results of the RCP interaction system. We confirm a good performance of the RCP interaction system through the experiment results.

Intelligent Robot is considered as one of the Next Generation Growth Engine in many countries. The application fields are expected to be widen from 80's robotics for manufacturing to many applications such as military, space, medical, personal, etc. To reduce the R&D investment risk Technical Roadmap is prepared by Japan, Europe and Korea. In this paper, the technical Roadmap of the countries was analysed to get the idea of future of Robotics. Robotics is considered as one of solutions of future aged society. Robot can assist and company with elderly people in the near future. On the other hand, Robot is considered as a core technology of manufacturing competitive power. Industrial competitiveness also would be dependent on robot technology. Special Service robot has many application areas and each country has different target based on the situation. With the comparison of technical roadmap, we have suggested some ideas to improve Korea's roadmap.

로봇은 인간을 모방하여 외부환경을 인식하고 상황을 판단하며 자율적으로 동작하는 기계를 의미한다. 로봇은 제조용 로봇과 서비스용 로봇으로 구분하고 서비스용 로봇은 전문서비스용 로봇과 개인서비스용 로봇으로 분류된다. 최근 제조업의 생산성 경쟁 심화, 안전 이슈 부상, 저출산과 고령화 심화로 인해 로봇산업이 부상하고 있다. 최근 로봇산업은 첨단기술 분야의 복합체로 기술혁신성과 성장잠재력을 가지고 있기 때문에 각광받고 있는 산업분야이다. IT, BT 및 NT 관련 요소들이 융합되어 구현되는 기술로서 그 파급효과는 매우 커지고 있다. 사회구조와 생활패턴의 변화로 인해 생명 연장과 건강에 대한 사회적인 관심이 높아지고 있으며 의료관련 분야에 많은 관심이 모아지고 있다. 이제는 인공지능(AI) 산업이 급성장하고 있기 때문에 대 중소기업 협력 강화를 통한 글로벌 경쟁력을 확보하는 것이 우선 과제이다. 대기업의 장점인 R&D 투자능력과 마케팅 능력과 중소기업의 장점인 로봇 기술을 결합해야 하며 협력 모델 구축 및 M&A를 통해 글로벌 대기업과 경쟁력을 확보해야 한다.

Future robots, especially service and personal robots, will need much more intelligence, robustness and user-friendliness. The ability to learn contributes to these characteristics and is, therefore, becoming more and more important. Three of the numerous varieties of learning are discussed together with results of real-world experiments with three autonomous robots: (1) the acquisition of map knowledge by a mobile robot, allowing it to navigate in a network of corridors, (2) the acquisition of motion control knowledge by a calibration-free manipulator, allowing it to gain task-related experience and improve its manipulation skills while it is working, and (3) the ability to learn how to perform service tasks ...

One of the goals in the field of mobile robotics is the development of personal service robots for the elderly which behave in populated environments. In this paper, we describe a security robot system and ongoing research results that minimize the risk of the elderly and the infirm to access an area to enter restricted areas with high potential for falls, such as stairs, steps, and wet floors. The proposed robot system surveys a potential falling area with an equipped laser scanner sensor. When it detects walking in elderly or infirm patients who in restricted areas, the robot calculates the velocity vector, plans its own path to forestall the patient in order to prevent them from heading to the restricted area and starts to move along the estimated trajectory. The walking human is assumed to be a point-object and projected onto a scanning plane to form a geometrical constraint equation that provides position data of the human based on the kinematics of the mobile robot. While moving, the robot continues these processes in order to adapt to the changing situation. After arriving at an opposite position to the human's walking direction, the robot advises them to change course. The simulation and experimental results of estimating and tracking of the human in the wrong direction with the mobile robot are presented.

In this paper, a control system of the PUMA 560 robot manipulator using a PC (Personal Computer) is presented. The hardware of the designed control system is composed of IBM-PC/AT, interface board, selection board, interrupt generating circuit, and the servo control unit of the PUMA controller. A robot control library is developed using assembly and C language, and is composed of several low-level functions and arm interface routines, world model routines, arm kinematics routines, and motion command service routines. Using the designed library, joint interpolated motion and Cartesian interpolated motion of the PUMA robot manipulator are realized. In the future, our system is expected to be a very helpful basis and a useful tool for developing various control algorithms of robot manipulator using sensory information.
