The functional problems of the basic pattern of clothing are a matter of the first importance to clothing construction. Therefore, the ergonomic analysis of the expansion and contraction of the upper body surface, due to motion, has become required. thus in order to obtain the measurements and rate of expansion and contraction of the upper body surface following from its motions, the development figure of " Shell" and somatometry were employed. The results obtained through the investigation can be summarized as follows : 1) According to the developmental figures of "Shell" the latitudes centering around the shoulder line present contractive tendencies by arm movement. The longitudes around the center back waist length are expansive tendencies when bent forward. In the case of a 15$^{\circ}$ lean backward posture, the longitudes around the center front waist length are expansive tendencies. 2) By somatometry, the region from the scapula to the axilla point the upper back with presents the greatest expansion (more than 30%). The region from scapla to arm presents the maximum rate of contraction. In considering the longitude , under the axilla waist length and the bust point waist length generally shows the greatest rate of expansion. 3) The bust point waist length and under the axilla waist length are of great importance to the basic pattern of clothing. and have expansive tendencies(6.3cm). Among the latitudes, the upper back width has the greatest tendency for expansion (7.83 cm). 4) The region which presents the greatest rate of the expansion and contraction is in the proximity of the arm. These results testify that the amount of room of the back width must be given consideration in constructing the basic pattern of clothing.pattern of clothing.

In this paper, a Smart Home Service Robot, McBot II, which performs mess-cleanup function etc. in house, is designed much more optimally than other service robots. It is newly developed in much more practical system than McBot I which we had developed two years ago. One characteristic attribute of mobile platforms equipped with a set of dependent wheels is their omni- directionality and the ability to realize complex translational and rotational trajectories for agile navigation in door. An accurate coordination of steering angle and spinning rate of each wheel is necessary for a consistent motion. This paper develops trajectory controller of 3-wheels omni-directional mobile robot using fuzzy azimuth estimator. A specialized anthropomorphic robot manipulator which can be attached to the housemaid robot McBot II, is developed in this paper. This built-in type manipulator consists of both arms with 4 DOF (Degree of Freedom) each and both hands with 3 DOF each. The robotic arm is optimally designed to satisfy both the minimum mechanical size and the maximum workspace. Minimum mass and length are required for the built-in cooperated-arms system. But that makes the workspace so small. This paper proposes optimal design method to overcome the problem by using neck joint to move the arms horizontally forward/backward and waist joint to move them vertically up/down. The robotic hand, which has two fingers and a thumb, is also optimally designed in task-based concept. Finally, the good performance of the developed McBot II is confirmed through live tests of the mess-cleanup task.

본 논문에서는 비트율의 증가와 동시에 주관적 화질의 향상을 얻을 수 있는 알고리듬인 Frame Rate Up-Conversion (FRUC)을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리듬에서는 단방향이 아닌 양방향의 움직임 예측을 통해 신뢰도가 높은 블록을 탐색하여 두 장의 예비 프레임을 생성한다. 예비 프레임 생성과정에서는 설정된 임계값 보다 작은 경우를 제외한 나머지 영역에 대해서는 폐색 구간으로 설정하기 때문에 해당 구간에 대한 추가적인 보간 과정이 수행된다. 폐색 구간을 중심으로 이용 가능한 이웃하는 블록의 수를 고려하여 적응적으로 참조 라인을 설정하여 추가적인 재탐색 과정을 수행한다. 선택된 최적의 블록이 두 장의 예비 프레임에 모두 존재할 경우와 한 장에만 존재할 경우를 고려하여 선택적으로 보간한다. 본 논문에서는 제안하는 알고리듬의 성능을 입증하기 위해 기존에 제안되었던 알고리듬과의 PSNR 및 주관적 화질을 비교한다. 또한 실험 결과를 통해 기존의 알고리듬 보다 제안하는 알고리듬이 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 확인 할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a new strategy for a quad-rotor to track a moving object efficiently by using image processing and an extended Kalman filter. The goal of path planning for the quad-rotor is to design an optimal path from the start point to the destination point. To lengthen the freight time of the quad-rotor, an optimal path is required to reduce the energy consumption. To track a moving object, the mark signed on the moving object has been detected by a camera mounted first on the quad-rotor. The center coordinates of the mark and its area are calculated through the blob analysis which is one type of image processing. The mark coordinates are utilized to obtain information on the motion direction and the area of the mark is utilized to recognize whether the object moves backward or forward from the camera on the quad-rotor. In addition, an extended Kalman filter has been applied to predict the direction and speed of the dynamically moving object. Through these schemes, it is aimed that the quad-rotor can track the dynamic object efficiently in terms of flight distance and time. Through the two different route freights of the quad-rotor, the performance of the proposed system has been demonstrated.

Purpose: Conventional headland turning typically requires repeated forward and backward movements to move the farming equipment to the next row. This research focuses on developing an upland agricultural robot with an optimized headland turning mechanism that enables a $180^{\circ}$ turning positioning to the next row in one steering motion designed for a two-wheel steering, four-wheel drive agricultural robot named the HADA-bot. The proposed steering mechanism allows for faster turnings at each headland compared to those of the conventional steering system. Methods: The HADA-bot was designed with 1.7-m wide wheel tracks to travel along the furrows of a garlic bed, and a look-ahead path following algorithm was applied using a real-time kinematic global positioning system signal. Pivot turning tests focused primarily on accuracy regarding the turning radius for the next path matching, saving headland turning time, area, and effort. Results: Several test cases were performed by evaluating right and left turns on two different surfaces: concrete and soil, at three speeds: 1, 2, and 3 km/h. From the left and right side pivot turning results, the percentage of lateral deviation is within the acceptable range of 10% even on the soil surface. This U-turn scheme reduces 67% and 54% of the headland turning time, and 36% and 32% of the required headland area compared to a 50 hp tractor (ISEKI, TA5240, Ehime, Japan) and a riding-type cultivator (CFM-1200, Asia Technology, Deagu, Rep. Korea), respectively. Conclusion: The pivot turning trajectory on both soil and concrete surfaces achieved similar results within the typical operating speed range. Overall, these results prove that the pivot turning mechanism is suitable for improving conventional headland turning by reducing both turning radius and turning time.

Background: In previous studies, changes in postural alignment were found when the slope was changed during walking. Downhill walking straightens the trunk by shifting the line of gravity backward. Objects: This study investigated the effect of the downhill treadmill walking exercise (DTWE) on thoracic angle and thoracic erector spinae (TES) activation in subjects with thoracic kyphosis. Methods: A total of 20 subjects with thoracic kyphosis were recruited for this study. All the subjects performed the DTWE for 30 minutes. A surface EMG and 3D motion capture system were used to measure TES activation and thoracic angle before and after the DTWE. Paired t-tests were used to confirm the effect of the DTWE (p<.05). Results: Both the thoracic angle and TES activation had significantly increased after the DTWE compared to the baseline (p<.05). An increase in the thoracic angle indicates a decrease in kyphosis. Conclusion: The DTWE is effective for thoracic kyphosis patients as it decreases their kyphotic posture and increases the TES activation. Future longitudinal studies are required to investigate the long-term effects of the DTWE.

제주마를 이용한 경속보(rising trot)시 숙련정도에 따라 2보폭동안 기승자세를 비교 분석하여 교육과정에 응용 할 수 있는 정량적 자료를 제시한다. 참여한 피험자는 총 10명(숙련군: 5명, 미숙련군: 5명)이었고, 실험 및 분석 방법은 3차원 영상분석(Kwon3D Motion Analysis System)을 하였고, 분석변인은 국면 및 이벤트별 시간, 선 및 각운동변인이었다. 숙련군이 미숙련군에 비해 상대적으로 지지기보다 공중국면의 소요시간 비율이 더 많았고, 국면경과에 따라 더 적은 상하운동범위 속에서, 전후 및 좌우속도에서 더 일관된 속도를 유지하였고, 상하방향에서 말의 보조와 동조를 이루면서 일관된 주기를 이루면서 반동운동이 이루어졌다. 숙련군이 미숙련군에 비해 상대적으로 팔꿈치에서 더 많은 굴곡 및 국면경과에 따라 어깨의 더 많은 후방신전자세를 취하였다. 고관절과 무릎은 더 많은 전방굴곡자세를 취한 반면 발목의 경우 모두 저측굴곡의 자세를 유지하였다. 동체는 수직축에 대해 후방신전자세인 반면 미숙련군은 전방굴곡자세를 유지하였다. 즉 미숙련군의 경우 숙련군에 비해 다소 경속보에서 보조의 경과에 따라 불안한 자세를 취한 것으로 사료된다.
