Wireless sensor network(WSN) has the potential to greatly effect many aspects of u-healthcare. By outfitting the potential with WSN, wearable sensor node can collects real-time data on physiological status and transmits through base station to server PC. However, there is a significant gap between WSN and healthcare. WSN has the limited resource about computing capability and data transmission according to bio-sensor sampling rates and channels to apply healthcare system. If a wearable node transmits ECG and accelerometer data of 4 channel sampled at 100 Hz, these data may occur high loss packets for transmitting human activity and ECG to server PC. Therefore current wearable sensor nodes have to solve above mentioned problems to be suited for u-healthcare system. Most WSN based activity and ECG monitoring system have been implemented some algorithms which are applied for signal vector magnitude(SVM) algorithm and ECG noise algorithm in server PC. In this paper, A wearable sensor node using integrated ECG and 3-axial accelerometer based on wireless sensor network is designed and developed. It can form multi-hop network with relay nodes to extend network range in WSN. Our wearable nodes can transmit 1-channel activity data processed activity classification data vector using SVM algorithm to 3-channel accelerometer data. ECG signals are contaminated with high frequency noise such as power line interference and muscle artifact. Our wearable sensor nodes can remove high frequency noise to clear original ECG signal for healthcare monitoring.

This paper presents a web-based real-time monitoring system for a photobioreactor using an WiFi wireless network. An WiFi interface can support high speed data transfer, up to 11Mbps and it can be compatible with commercial wireless LAN environment. Thus, the proposed cell culture based on WiFi network can be easily applied to the reconfigurable system and real-time monitoring system. In this paper, we integrate the commercial WiFi module to the various bio-sensors and sensor control board to configure the wireless network. After we evaluate application S/W for monitoring the environment within incubator, we verify the proposed sensor networks for a cell culture system and its monitoring system. This result can be applicable for various bio-applications that require the network configuration and real-time monitoring system.

Reducing carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) exhaust has become a major issue for society in the last few years, especially since the initial release of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 that strictly limited the emissions of greenhouse gas for each country. One of the primary sectors affecting the levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases is agriculture where $CO_2$ is not only consumed by plants but also produced from various types of soil and agricultural ecosystems including greenhouses. In greenhouse cultivation, $CO_2$ concentration plays an essential role in the photosynthesis process of crops. Optimum control of greenhouse $CO_2$ enrichment based on accurate monitoring of the added $CO_2$ can improve profitability through efficient crop production and reduce environmental impact, compared to traditional management practices. In this study, a sensor-based control system that could estimate the required $CO_2$ concentration considering emission from soil for cucumber greenhouses was developed and evaluated. The relative profitability index (RPI) was defined by the ratio of growth rate to supplied $CO_2$. RPI for a greenhouse controlled at lower set point of $CO_2$ concentration (500 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$) was greater than that of greenhouse at higher set point (800 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$). Evaluation tests to optimize $CO_2$ enrichment concluded that the developed control system would be applicable not only to minimize over-exhaust of $CO_2$ but also to maintain the crop profitability.

3D printing technology has been a great interest in human bio-interfaces and human-like robotics since they require arbitrary and adaptive manufacturing. This research mainly concerns the 3D fabrication of a packed biosensor using elastomeric sheets made of PDMS. It is essential to design the PDMS molding with 3D printing since, in the case of biosensors, it should not only produce a conformal shape depending on an arbitrary skin surface but also guarantee a uniform thickness distribution during solidification in the PDMS prepolymer solution. To satisfy the characteristics of the PDMS molding, such as flexibility in the de-molding and stiffness in the solidification processes, multi-materials have been selectively applied to the PDMS molding design, which has been validated with finite element analyses and compared with the 3D printed molding.

In this research, we developed a biosensor to detect lung cancer-specific biomarker using Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) chip based on interference and nano surface plasmon resonance (nanoSPR). The nano-porous AAO chip was fabricated $2{\mu}m$ of pore-depth by two-step anodizing method for surface uniformity. NanoSPR has sensitivity to the refractive index (RI) of the surrounding medium and also provides simple and label-free detection when specific antibodies are immobilized to the Au-deposited surface of nano-porous AAO chip. To detect the lung cancer-specific biomarker, antibodies were immobilized on the surface of the chip by Self Assembled Monolayer (SAM) method. Since then lung cancer-specific biomarker was applied atop the antibodies immobilized layer. The specific reaction of the antigen-antibody contributed to the change in the refractive index that cause shift of resonance spectrum in the interference pattern. The Limit of Detection (LOD) was 1 fg/ml by using our nano-porous AAO biosensor chip.

The temperature of a pig is the most key point in determining, it's health status. We wanted to monitor the body temperature of pig to find out if any changes would occur, we used 3 minipigs (about 20 kg) who were feed using a feeding system while being confined in a pig house. The infrared testings were taken from a height of 30 cm above the pigs backs over a period of 28 days. We were able to conclude that the results between the back and indoor temperature were y = 0.5487x + 18.459. These values were compared with the values found after infrared sensor results were taken. We found an error range of $0.004{\sim}1.82^{\circ}C$ and an average of $0.58^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, using an infrared thermometer made monitoring of pigs back possible. This system seems to be feasible and effective in monitoring pig temperature.

Biped robot with high DOF has instability in mechanism. Therefore, it is important to guarantee walking stability of biped robot. Biped robot can stably walk on the flat ground using static walking patterns. However, walking stability of robot becomes increasingly worse on the uneven terrain. In the paper, we propose a robust walking algorithm of biped robot with motion stabilization to solve the problem The proposed algorithm was designed to stabilize walking motions based on the inclination of robot body using a gyro sensor and a accelerometer equipped in the center of the upper body. If unstable motions are recognized, angles of each joints are modified to increase stability by using compensation of angles of lower legs. The experimental results show that biped robot performs stable walking on the uneven terrain.
