This paper presents a novel driving system by the humanoid robot to drive a vehicle in disaster response situations. To enhance robot's capability for substituting human activities in responding to natural and man-made disaster, the one of prerequisite skills for the rescue robot is the mounted mobility to maneuver a vehicle safely in disaster site. Therefore, our driving system for the humanoid is developed in order to steer a vehicle through unknown obstacles even under poor communication conditions such as time-delay and black-out. Especially, the proposed system includes a tele-manipulation interface and stable navigation strategies. First, we propose a new type of path estimation method to overcome limited communication. Second, we establish navigation strategies when the operator cannot recognize obstacles based on Dynamic Window Approach. The effectiveness of the proposed developments is verified through simulation and experiments, which demonstrate suitable system for driving a vehicle in disaster response.

This study investigated the feasibility of gait recognition using points on the body in three-dimensional (3D) space based on comparisons of four different feature vectors. To obtain the point trajectories on the body in 3D, gait motion data were captured from 10 participants using a 3D motion capture system, and four shoes with different heel heights were used to study the effects of heel height on gait recognition. Finally, the recognition rates were compared using four methods and different heel heights.

유무선 네트워크 기술의 급격한 발전 및 개인용 휴대 장치의 보급 증가와 그에 맞물린 소셜네트워크 서비스 등의 활성화로 인해 데이터의 전송량이 폭발적으로 늘어나고 있으며, 이러한 추세는 향후 지속될 것으로 전망된다. 이에 데이터센터의 수요가 증가하고 있으며, 확장 및 유지보수가 쉬우면서도 높은 성능을 갖는 시스템에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 데이터센터 네트워크의 구성요소를 분석하고 각각의 지연시간을 알아보았으며, 그 중 확장 및 유지보수가 쉬우나 상대적으로 지연시간이 높은 이더넷을 데이터센터에 적용하였을 때 지연시간 개선을 위한 방법으로 Intel DPDK를 적용할 경우, 미적용시와 비교하여 약 86%의 지연시간 감소를 확인하였고, 추가 향상 방안을 조망하였다.

A dosimetric evaluation of volumetric modulated arc therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, and three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy for the lower extremity soft tissue sarcoma For the lower extremity soft tissue sarcoma, volumetric modulated arc therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, and three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy were evaluated to compare these three treatment planning technique. The mean doses to the planning target volume and the femur were calculated to evaluate target coverage and the risk of bone fracture during radiation therapy. Volumetric modulated arc therapy can reduce the dose to the femur without compromising target coverage and reduce the treatment time compared with intensity modulated radiation therapy.

현대인들의 생활수준 향상과 기술의 발전에 따라 보안, 안전 등 미처 고려되지 않던 분야들이 다양한 영역에서 부각되면서 CCTV, IP카메라, 차량용 블랙박스와 같은 영상기반 시스템에 대한 시장수요가 증가하고 있다. 이에 맞춰 다양한 영상기반 시스템들이 개발되고, 개발 단계에서 낭비되는 시간을 줄이기 위해 프로토타이핑의 필요성이 대두되고 있지만 기존의 프로토타이핑을 위한 도구는 비용이나 속도측면에서 제한적이다. 본 논문에서는 영상기반 시스템 중 블랙박스의 하드웨어를 풀 시스템 에뮬레이터를 이용하여 모델링하고 수행되는 명령어 추출을 통해 시스템의 특성을 예측할 수 있는 하드웨어 프로토타이핑 도구를 제안한다. 또한 ARM 시스템용으로 컴파일 된 프로그램의 실행 여부를 확인하고, 프로그램을 구성하는 명령어와 추출도구를 통해 추출된 명령어를 비교하여 동작을 확인한다.

The purpose of this study is to explore a conceptual model of transdisciplinary curriculum in the Field of Engineering and Technology for the Colleges Through the Analysis of the Curriculum Organization and Implementation in the Y College in order to solve problems of current curriculum in the department of automobile engineering in Y college. Methodology is a literature review, focus group interview. The result is that current curriculum is interdisciplinary. The interview to the faculty members in Y college about the applicability of a conceptual model of transdisciplinary curriculum on the course is that transdisciplinary curriculum model could be applied to the course but because of the variety of problems, it would be difficult to apply new curriculum.

최근 무선 통신 및 반도체 기술이 발전하면서 다양한 응용 분야에서 센서를 활용하는 시스템이 증가하는 추세이다. 이러한 센서 시스템은 전력 공급이 제한적이고 저전력 전원 공급 장치를 사용하기 때문에 불안정한 전력 공급 상황에서 시스템의 비정상 종료 시 데이터의 무결성을 보장할 수 없는 문제가 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 시스템 내부에 추가 전원 장치를 제공하거나 비휘발성 메모리에 연산장치를 추가하는 등의 방안이 제안되었지만, 이는 물리적, 비용적 오버헤드를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 오버헤드를 최소화하면서 센서 시스템의 신뢰성을 높이는 방안을 제시한다. 제안하는 방법을 ARM 프로세서와 FPGA를 기반으로 구현하고 그 효용성을 검증하였다.

Heavy metals can be intentionally or unintentionally introduced into plastic food utensils, containers, and packaging (PFUCP) as additives or contaminants, which can be ingested with food by humans. Here, seven-heavy metals (lead, cadmium, nickel, chromium, antimony, copper, and manganese) with toxicity concerns were selected, and risk assessment was done by establishing their migration from 137 PFUCP products made of 16 materials distributed in Korea. Migration of heavy metals was examined by applying 4% acetic acid as a food simulant (70℃, 30 minutes) to the PFUCP products. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was employed for the analysis of migrated heavy metals, and the reliability of quantitative results was confirmed by checking linearity, LOD, LOQ, recovery, precision, and expanded uncertainty. As a result of monitoring, heavy metals were detected at a level of non-detection to 8.76 ± 11.87 ㎍/L and most of the heavy metals investigated were only detected at trace amounts of less than 1 ㎍/L on average. However, antimony migrated from PET products was significantly higher than other groups. Risk assessment revealed that all the heavy metals investigated were safe with a margin of exposure above 311. Collectively, we demonstrated that heavy metals migrated from PFUCP products distributed in Korea appear to be within the safe range.

This paper aims to uncover and discuss characteristics of citizen participatory transdisciplinary research which has been gaining momentum in recent years in the form of social-problem solving R&D program and sustainability science research. Two key questions are examined. One is related to the mechanism of cooperation in knowledge production among participants, namely scientists and citizens(extra-academics), while the other is examining whether the output of participatory research activity is more than journals or patents. Diverse strands of literature on knowledge and knowledge production including Mode 2, Learning modes and the notion of co-production of knowledge and social order are drawn and critically reviewed to elucidate the characteristics of citizen participatory transdisciplinary research.

While anthropomorphic robots are gaining interest, dual-arm robots are widely used in the industrial environment. Many methods exist in order to implement bimanual tasks by dual-arm robot. However, kinesthetic teaching is used in this paper. This paper suggests three different kinesthetic teaching methods that can implement most of the human task by the robot. The three kinesthetic teaching methods are joint level, task level, and contact level teaching. The task introduced in this paper is box packing, which is a popular and complex task in industrial environment. The task is programmed into the dual-arm robot by utilizing the suggested kinesthetic teaching method, and this paper claims that most tasks can be implemented by using the suggesting kinesthetic teaching methods.
