In this paper, we develop a virtual experimental environment to investigate users' eye gaze in human-robot social interaction, and verify it's potential for further studies. The system consists of a 3D robot character capable of hosting simple interactions with a user, and a gaze processing module recording which body part of the robot character, such as eyes, mouth or arms, the user is looking at, regardless of whether the robot is stationary or moving. To verify that the results acquired on this virtual environment are aligned with those of physically existing robots, we performed robot-guided quiz sessions with 120 participants and compared the participants' gaze patterns with those in previous works. The results included the followings. First, when interacting with the robot character, the user's gaze pattern showed similar statistics as the conversations between humans. Second, an animated mouth of the robot character received longer attention compared to the stationary one. Third, nonverbal interactions such as leakage cues were also effective in the interaction with the robot character, and the correct answer ratios of the cued groups were higher. Finally, gender differences in the users' gaze were observed, especially in the frequency of the mutual gaze.

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.

근래의 드론 산업은 다양한 분야에서 사용이 확대되고 있으나 규제 등 여러 가지 사회적 진입장벽으로 시장 진입에 애로사항이 도출되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 드론 산업의 여러 제약 중 배터리의 제한적인 용량으로 장시간 비행이 어려운 문제를 개선하고자 승강식 드론스테이션을 개발하였다. 승강식 드론스테이션은 드론의 비행 중 배터리가 방전될 시 충전 및 정비를 할 수 있고, 드론 간의 통신 중계기 역할을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 스테이션에 드론이 접근 시 슬라이딩 도어를 개폐하기 위하여 초광대역 통신을 이용한 거리 측정과 위치 인식 시스템에 대한 내용을 기술하였다.

이 논문에서 우리는 노인과 로봇이 만나는 여러 프로그램을 검토하여 노인과 로봇의 상호작용을 가능하게 하는 조건과 그 사이를 매개하는 제삼자의 역할을 분석한다. 우리는 로봇의 성능을 평가하거나 로봇이 노인에게 미치는 영향을 측정하는 대신, 노인과 조우할 때 로봇이 어떤 위치, 환경, 맥락에 놓이는지에 주목한다. 이 논문은 인간-로봇 상호작용의 양상은 로봇의 성능뿐만 아니라, 사전에 마련된 환경과 우연적으로 발생하는 상황에 따라 크게 달라진다는 관점을 취한다. 이 논문에서 분석 대상으로 삼는 것은 <할매네 로봇>(tvN), <미래일기>(MBC), <공존실험, 로봇 인간 곁에 오다>(JTBC) 등 노인 로봇 실험을 실시한 텔레비전 프로그램과 치매 예방 로봇 '실벗'을 사용하는 교육 프로그램이다. 이 프로그램들에서 나타나는 노인과 로봇 사이의 언어적, 비언어적 소통을 분석하여 우리는 대부분의 노인-로봇 상호작용이 노인 한 명과 로봇 한 대 사이의 직접 상호작용이 아니라, 노인이 아닌 제삼의 행위자가 중요한 역할을 하는 매개된 상호작용이라는 점을 지적한다. 매개자는 노인-로봇 상호작용에서 일시적이고 부차적인 역할을 맡았다가 바로 사라지는 것이 아니라, 노인과 로봇의 관계를 시작하고 유지하는 핵심적인 요소로 작용한다. 매개자들은 노인과 로봇의 만남을 주선하거나 상호작용을 촉발하고, 그것을 관찰하면서 적절한 때에 언어적으로 개입하여 둘 사이의 관계를 중재하고, 때로는 물리적으로 로봇의 행동을 보조하여 노인-로봇 상호작용의 실패를 막아낸다. 우리는 매개자의 존재와 역할에 주목함으로써 노인-로봇 관계만이 아니라 일반적인 인간-로봇 관계를 더 잘 이해하고 평가할 수 있다고 주장한다. 인간-로봇의 일대일 관계가 아니라 인간-로봇-인간 사이의 다자 구도와 그를 둘러싼 맥락을 고려함으로써 기존의 공학적, 의학적, 사회과학적 접근을 보완하고 로봇의 개발, 활용, 평가에 대한 유용한 관점을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

Human-Robot interaction (HRI) has recently become one of the most important issues in the field of robotics. Understanding and predicting the intentions of human users is a major difficulty for robotic programs. In this paper we suggest an interaction method allows the robot to execute the human user's desires in an intelligent room-based domain, even when the user does not give a specific command for the action. To achieve this, we constructed a full system architecture of an intelligent room so that the following were present and sequentially interconnected: decision-making based on the Bayesian belief network, responding to human commands, and generating queries to remove ambiguities. The robot obtained all the necessary information from analyzing the user's condition and the environmental state of the room. This information is then used to evaluate the probabilities of the results coming from the output nodes of the Bayesian belief network, which is composed of the nodes that includes several states, and the causal relationships between them. Our study shows that the suggested system and proposed method would improve a robot's ability to understand human commands, intuit human desires, and predict human intentions resulting in a comfortable intelligent room for the human user.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the behavioral responses to a robot pet in pre-school children. Method: This activity for children was conducted for 5 days at a kindergarten and each session lasted 30 minutes. In order to measure children's temperament, Chun Heeyoung's Temperament Rating Scale was used. In addition, to investigate the behavioral responses to a robot pet, each session was videotaped. The videotape data was analyzed according to child-robot interaction. Result: On the average, subjects scored highest in emotionality and lowest in activity for the temperamental subscale. The videotape data revealed verbal, positive nonverbal, and negative nonverbal interaction. Conclusions: These results suggest that child-robot interaction reflects temperamental characteristics, therefore, to develop a nursing intervention program using a robot, it is necessary to consider individual differences and recreational factors to grab children's interest.

This paper proposes a method to estimate the level of interest shown by visitors towards a specific target, a guide robot, in spaces where a large number of visitors, such as exhibition halls and museums, can show interest in a specific subject. To accomplish this, we apply deep learning-based behavior recognition and object tracking techniques for multiple visitors, and based on this, we derive the behavior analysis and interest level of visitors. To implement this research, a personalized dataset tailored to the characteristics of exhibition hall and museum environments was created, and a deep learning model was constructed based on this. Four scenarios that visitors can exhibit were classified, and through this, prediction and experimental values were obtained, thus completing the validation for the interest estimation method proposed in this paper.

This study presents a methodology for simulating a unified approach that controls interaction force between tool and objective by using a synthesis method of robot interacting control law for stabilizing the transient process of motion. Root locus is used to analyze stabilization of motion deviation characteristics. Based on responses of motion deviation, contact force is derived to satisfy exponential stability and we generate control input with respect to motion trajectories and interaction force. Moreover, simulation is applied to experimental application of a Cartesian robot driven by two stepper motors, and the noise of feedback signals is considered as presence of system inaccuracies, and the unified approach of interaction force control is examined precisely.
