Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), based on already well-researched Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), has been under vigorous scrutiny since recent developments in robot technology. Robots may be more successful in establishing common ground in project-based education or foreign language learning for children than in traditional media. Backed by its strong IT environment and advances in robot technology, Korea has developed the world's first available e-Learning home robot. This has demonstrated the potential for robots to be used as a new educational media - robot-learning, referred to as 'r-Learning'. Robot technology is expected to become more interactive and user-friendly than computers. Also, robots can exhibit various forms of communication such as gestures, motions and facial expressions. This study compared the effects of non-computer based (NCB) media (using a book with audiotape) and Web-Based Instruction (WBI), with the effects of Home Robot-Assisted Learning (HRL) for children. The robot gestured and spoke in English, and children could touch its monitor if it did not recognize their voice command. Compared to other learning programs, the HRL was superior in promoting and improving children's concentration, interest, and academic achievement. In addition, the children felt that a home robot was friendlier than other types of instructional media. The HRL group had longer concentration spans than the other groups, and the p-value demonstrated a significant difference in concentration among the groups. In regard to the children's interest in learning, the HRL group showed the highest level of interest, the NCB group and the WBI group came next in order. Also, academic achievement was the highest in the HRL group, followed by the WBI group and the NCB group respectively. However, a significant difference was also found in the children's academic achievement among the groups. These results suggest that home robots are more effective as regards children's learning concentration, learning interest and academic achievement than other types of instructional media (such as: books with audiotape and WBI) for English as a foreign language.

본 논문에서는 음성 명령을 인식하여 비행기의 1차 조종면을 제어할 수 있는 장치를 제안한다. 음성 명령어는 19개의 명령어로 구성되며 총 2,500개의 데이터셋을 근간으로 학습 모델을 구성한다. 학습 모델은 TensorFlow 기반의 Keras 모델의 Sequential 라이브러리를 이용하여 CNN 모델로 구성되며, 학습에 사용되는 음성 파일은 MFCC 알고리즘을 이용하여 특징을 추출한다. 특징을 인식하기 위한 2단계의 Convolution layer 와 분류를 위한 Fully Connected layer는 2개의 dense 층으로 구성하였다. 검증 데이터셋의 정확도는 98.4%이며 테스트 데이터셋의 성능평가에서는 97.6%의 정확도를 보였다. 또한, 라즈베리 파이 기반의 제어장치를 설계 및 구현하여 동작이 정상적으로 이루어짐을 확인하였다. 향후, 음성인식 자동 비행 및 항공정비 분야의 가상 훈련환경으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
