  • To keep pace with Industry 4.0, it is imperative for companies to redesign their working environments by adopting robotic automation systems. Automation lines are facilitating the latest cutting-edge technologies, such as 3D vision and industrial robots, to outdo competitors by reducing costs. Considering the nature of the manufacturing industry, a time-saving workflow and smooth linkwork between processes is vital. At Dellics, without any additional new installation in the automation lines, only a few improvements to the working process could raise productivity. Three requirements are the development of gripping technology by utilizing a 3D vision system for the recognition of the material shape and location, research on lighting projectors to target long distances and high illumination, and testing of algorithms/software to improve measurement accuracy and identify products. With some of the functional requisites mentioned above, improved robotic automation systems should provide an improved working environment to maximize overall production efficiency. In this article, the ways in which such a system can become the groundwork for establishing an unmanned working infrastructure are discussed.

  • The Act on the Promotion of Mobility for the Transportation Vulnerable stipulates that the transportation vulnerable should be able to enjoy convenience when using public transportation. However, this law is not being implemented properly enough to bring up a petition saying, "Please allow the visually impaired to take a bus." Even if you try to use a call taxi for the disabled instead of public transportation, you have to apply and wait two to three hours. Therefore, this paper aims to design and implement systems for the vulnerable and their guardians, such as increasing the opening time of the ticket gate more than usual if the cane rings a notification on the bus and subway station designated using Bluetooth. Accordingly, it is expected to bring about effects such as the availability of public transportation, economic savings, safety guarantees, and prevention of missing children for the vulnerable.

  • This study investigated carnival behavior in the nursery stage of Fenneropenaeus chinensis. In order to suppress the carnival behavior and improve the survival rate, it was examined whether there was a carnivalism inhibitory effect according to the rearing water of shrimp. In addition, their blood physiological changes were observed. As a result, in the experimental group with the size difference of F. chinensis, the survival rate was the highest in the biofloc technology (BFT) rearing water of olive flounder (75%), and in the experimental group without the size difference, the survival rate was the highest in the seawater experiment group (93%). In both experimental groups, rate of carnival behavior was observed to be low in the fed experimental group regardless of the size difference of F. chinensis. As a result of blood cell analysis of F. chinensis according to the rearing water, the percentage of granulocytes was the highest in the BFT rearing water of flounder (75%) and the lowest in the filtered seawater group (66%). The proportion of semi-granulocytes was the highest at 11% in the shrimp BFT rearing water, and the lowest at 7% in the filtered seawater. The proportion of hyalinocytes was highest in filtered seawater (27%) and lowest in flounder BFT rearing water (16%). These results suggest that carnival behavior and blood composition of F. chinensis may be different depending on the conditions of the rearing water in the nursery stage.

  • In this study, real-time character navigation using AR lens developed by Nreal is developed. Real-time character navigation is not possible with general marker-based AR because NPC characters must guide while moving in an unspecified space. To replace this, a markerless AR system was developed using Digital Twin technology. Existing markerless AR is operated based on hardware such as GPS, gyroscope, and magnetic sensor, so location accuracy is low and processing time in the system is long, resulting in low reliability in real-time AR environment. In order to solve this problem, using the SLAM technique to construct a space into a 3D object and to construct a markerless AR based on point location, AR can be implemented without any hardware intervention in a real-time AR environment. This real-time AR environment configuration made it possible to implement a navigation system using characters in tourist attractions such as Suncheon Bay Garden and Suncheon Drama Filming Site.

  • Recently, with the improvement of the performance of IoT technology and AI, automation and unmanned work are progressing in a wide range of fields, and interest in image processing, which is the basis of automation such as object recognition and object classification, is increasing. Image noise removal is an important process used as a preprocessing step in an image processing system, and various studies have been conducted. However, in most cases, it is difficult to preserve detailed information due to the smoothing effect in high-frequency components such as edges. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to restore damaged images in AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) using fuzzy weights based on Gaussian distribution. The proposed algorithm switched the filtering process by comparing the filtering mask and the noise estimate with each other, and reconstructed the image by calculating the fuzzy weights according to the low-frequency and high-frequency components of the image.

  • The goal of education and training in military is to foster strong combatants who can fight and defeat enemies. The Korean military is deeply aware of the importance of education & training, and has been introducing various advanced training systems so far. Despite these efforts, however, the military environment to maintain and strengthen the level of training is becoming increasingly difficult. In this study, it was conducted on the effectiveness analysis and utilization of the game system for military education & training through literature review. As a result of literature analysis, the introduction of the game system could be expected to have various effects throughout the cognitive and behavioral areas. Based on this effect analysis, the concept and shape of game system operation for each purpose were derived, and an improved plan using the game system was proposed.

  • The bracing members capable of active control against seismic loads to reduce earthquake damage have been widely utilized in construction projects. Effectively reducing the structural damage caused by earthquake events, bracing systems equipped with retrofitting damper devices, which take advantage of the energy dissipation and impact absorption, have been widely used in practical construction sites. Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a new generation of smart materials with the capability of recovering their predefined shape after experiencing a large strain. This is mainly due to the shape memory effects and the superelasticity of SMA. These properties make SMA an excellent alternative to be used in passive, semi-active, and active control systems in civil engineering applications. In this research, a new system in diagonal braces with slit damper combined with SMA is investigated. The diagonal element under the effect of tensile and compressive force turns to shear force in the slit damper and creates tension in the SMA. Therefore, by creating shear forces in the damper, it leads to yield and increases the energy absorption capacity of the system. The purpose of using SMA, in addition to increasing the stiffness and strength of the system, is to create reversibility for the system. According to the results, the highest capacity is related to the case where the ratio of the width of the middle section to the width of the end section (b1/b) is 1.0 and the ratio of the height of the middle part to the total height of the damper (h1/h) is 0.1. This is mainly because in this case, the damper section has the highest cross-section. In contrast, the lowest capacity is related to the case where b1/b=0.1 and the ratio h1/h=0.8.

  • In modern society, various digital devices are being distributed in a wide range of fields due to the fourth industrial revolution and the development of IoT technology. However, noise is generated in the process of acquiring or transmitting an image, and not only damages the information, but also affects the system, causing errors and incorrect operation. AWGN is a representative noise among image noise. As a method for removing noise, prior research has been conducted, and among them, AF, A-TMF, and MF are the representative methods. Existing filters have a disadvantage that smoothing occurs in areas with high frequency components because it is difficult to consider the characteristics of images. Therefore, the proposed algorithm calculates the standard deviation distribution to effectively eliminate noise even in the high frequency domain, and then calculates the final output by applying the probability density function weight of the Laplace distribution using the curve fitting method.

  • Blockchain technology is a system in which data from users participating in blockchain networks is distributed and stored. Bitcoin and Ethereum are attracting global attention, and the utilization of blockchain is expected to be endless. However, the need for blockchain data privacy protection is emerging in various financial, medical, and real estate sectors that process personal information due to the transparency of disclosing all data in the blockchain to network participants. Although studies using smart contracts, homomorphic encryption, and cryptographic key methods have been mainly conducted to protect existing blockchain data privacy, this paper proposes data privacy using matrix character relocation techniques differentiated from existing papers. The approach proposed in this paper consists largely of two methods: how to relocate the original data to matrix characters, how to return the deployed data to the original. Through qualitative experiments, we evaluate the safety of the approach proposed in this paper, and demonstrate that matrix character relocation will be sufficiently applicable in private blockchain environments by measuring the time it takes to revert applied data to original data.
