In this paper, using Zigbee-based wireless sensor networks and Lego MindStorms NXT robot, a remote monitoring and navigation system for mobile robot has been developed. Mobile robot can estimate its position using encoder values of its motor, but due to the existing friction and shortage of motor power etc., error occurs. To fix this problem and obtain more accurate position of mobile robot, a ultrasound module on wireless sensor networks has been used in this paper. To overcome disadvantages of ultrasound which include straightforwardness and narrow detection coverage, we rotate moving node attached to mobile robot by $360^{\circ}$ to measure each distance from four fixed nodes. Then location of mobile robot is estimated by triangulation using measured distance values. In addition, images are sent via a network using a USB Web camera to smart phone. On smart phones we can see location of robot, and images around places where robot navigates. And remote monitoring and navigation is possible by just clicking points at the map on smart phones.

The depleting fishes resource and water pollution in coast has a decisive effect on the fish farm and fisheries. For solving these problems the fish farms are moving to the offshore. The fish farms in offshore have to design the strong mechanism as compared with cost's fish farm, and operate by the remote feeding system and monitoring system for safety and management.. This paper describes a remote feeding system for fish farms in offshore. The amount of feed is depending on temperature and fish weight. The fish farm temperature is changed extremely in offshore than on land side. This paper described that the feed amount is calculated automatically according to temperature and fish weight, and the remote feed system. The performance of remote feed system is tested with model.

In this paper, we provide a summary on the core essence of INR (Image Navigation and Registration) System technology which is an essential function of geostationary remote sensing satellites. Its origin and evolution history is reviewed, its core elements and governing concept for each element are described, and a generic INR architecture is suggested which can cover all seemingly conceivable INR systems of the past, the current and the future. By this, we intend to identify and illuminate the core technical contents and the key aspects in the foreseen prospect of the up-coming INR systems and the related technologies.

Various robot platforms have been designed and developed to perform given tasks in a hazardous environment for surveillance, reconnaissance, search and rescue, etc. We considered a terrain-adaptive and transformable hybrid robot platform that is equipped with rapid navigation capability on flat floors and good performance in overcoming stairs or obstacles. The navigation mode transition is determined and implemented by adaptive driving mode control of the mobile robot. In order to maximize the usability of wheel-track hybrid robot platform, we propose a terrain-adaptive and user-friendly remote controller and verify the efficiency and performance through its navigation performance experiments in real and test-bed environments.

A range of problems rave risen as the results of the obligated charter service. Constant lack of operation improvement compared to regular routes and lower quality service are results of business practice by the service providers. lherefore, this study executed an actual research using AHP to present a method for improvement by investigating remote island clnrter service providers. Result shows tint the desirable method is to implement operation evaluation system to induce service providers to consistently put efforts on the operating system development.

A virtual vessel traffic control system is introduced to contribute to prevent a marine accident such as collision and stranding from happening. Existing VTS has its limit. The virtual vessel traffic control system consists of both data acquisition by satellite remote sensing and a simulation of traffic environment stress based on the satellite data, remotely sensed data And it could be used to provide timely and detailed information about the marine safety, including the location, speed and direction of ships, and help us operate vessels safely and efficiently. If environmental stress values are simulated for the ship information derived from satellite data, proper actions can be taken to prevent accidents. Since optical sensor has a high spatial resolution, JERS satellite data are used to track ships and extract their information. We present an algorithm of automatic identification of ship size and velocity. It lastly is shown that based on ship information extracted from JERS data, a qualitative evaluation method of environmental stress is introduced.

This paper proposes a method of a touch-based remote control and sensor information acquisition of a mobile robot using a smart phone. An application in a smart phone processes the acquired sensor information and conducts autonomous navigation. By touching the screen of the smart phone, a series of points obtained from designated curve traces are analyzed and provide control of a robot. This study develops a mobile application that acquires and handles data from a mobile robot and sends appropriate action commands through remote control using Bluetooth communication with a smart phone. The utility and performance of the proposed control scheme have been successfully verified through experimental tasks using an actual smart phone and a mobile robot.

For the remote operation of the mobile robot, the human operator depends fully on the sensory information which is the partial information of the workspace of the mobile robot. It is usually very hard to fully manually operate the mobile robot in this situation. We propose the efficient guidance navigation method for improving the efficiency of the remote operation with the expanded guide circle using the sensory information. The guidance command is generated from the proposed algorithm using the expanded guide circle. We evaluated the performance of the proposed algorithm using the experiments.

This paper describes about the realization of a remote RF sensor system and its applications. RF Sensor System was designed and realized on DSP over the range of high frequency such as about 200[KHz]. It should be "wireless", "implantable" and "batteryless". Futhermore, the system should be consist of passive components such as R, Land C. The measurement was given using the inductive coupling principle between primary source part and secondary sensor part. This newly developed parameter estimation system can be easily applied to the Ambient Intelligent System including the ubiquitous computing and the sensitive environmental changes.

The remote diagnostic system has been developed for enhancing operability of Data Service Platform(DSP) of Korean e-Navigation Project performed by Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries(MOF) since 2016. It plays a critical role to find and handling logical, physical error in early time in order to maximize operability of DSP, which makes DSP to provide seamless service to various ships voyaging in the sea. Therefore, as developing a system to diagnose resource and operation status of DSP immediately in a remote place, and a system to feed it back to operator or to recover it on its own, DSP can have short period of MTTR as well as high chance of providing proper service to ships in voyage.
