The vacuum-cleaner had made the burden of house chore lighten but the operation labour of a vacuum-cleaner had been so severe. Recently, the cleaning robot was producted to perfectly solve the cleaning labour of a house but it also was not successful because it still had a problem of mess-cleaning, which is the clean-up of big trash and the arrangement of newspapers, clothes, etc. The cleaning robot is to just vacuum dust and small trash and has no function to arrange and take away before the automatic vacuum-cleaning. For this reason, the market for the cleaning robot is not yet built up. So, we need a design method and technological algorithm of new automatic machine to solve the problem of mess-cleanup in house. In this paper, a Home Mess-Cleanup Robot(HMR), which has a practical function of the automatic mess-cleanup, is developed. It need functions of agile automatic navigation, novel manipulation system for mess-cleanup. The automatic navigation system has to be controlled for the full scanning of living room, to recognize the absolute position and orientation of the self, the precise tracking of the desired path, and to distinguish the mess object to clean-up from obstacle object to just avoid. The manipulation system, which is not needed in the vacuum-cleaning robot, must have the functions, how to distinguish big trash to clean from mess objects to arrange, how to grasp in according to the form of mess objects, how to move to the destination in according to mess objects and arrange them. Then, it should be an intelligent system so that the mess cleaning task can be autonomously performed in a wide variety of situations and environments. It need to also has the entertainment functions for the good communication between the human and HMR. Therefore, the Home Mess-cleanup Robot with Entertainmental Human Interface is developed in this paper. Finally, the good performance of the designed machine, HMR'4, is confirmed through the results of the mess clean-up and arrangement.

The purpose of this study is to explore changes in future sports by introducing baseball robot umpire. The study was conducted using qualitative research methods, and participants selected five baseball fans who were interested in baseball. The results of the study are as follows. First, baseball fans expressed displeasure with the frequent misjudgment in Korean Professional Baseball game, and doubted the fairness of the umpire's judgment. And repeated misjudgment of professional baseball has contributed to the decline in viewing and viewing of baseball. Second, baseball fans were positive about the introduction of robot umpire as a way to reduce bad calls in baseball games, and considered the accuracy, consistency, and recordability of robot umpire to complement their limitations. Third, the application of baseball robot umpire will serve as a basis for strengthening the fairness and efficiency of baseball games, which will positively change the image of sports. As a result, the introduction of robot umpire in baseball games could exert desirable influence on people and contribute to restoring the ethics of sports and strengthening fairness.

The ecology of Physically Embedded Intelligent Systems (PEIS) is a new multi robotic framework conceived by integrating insights from the fields of autonomous robotics and ambient intelligence. A PEIS-Ecology is a network of intelligent robotic devices that can provide the user with assistance, information, communication, and entertainment services. In this paper we introduce the concept of PEIS Ecology, and illustrate a concrete realization of a PEIS-Ecology.

Recently, a variety of intelligent robots are developed for the personal purpose beyond the industrial application. These intelligent robots have ranges of sensors, actuators, and control algorithms to their application. In this paper we propose a reconfigurable robot controller, $SR^2$c (The SOPC-based Reconfigurable Robot Controller), based on SOPC (System on a Programmable Chip), that can be reconfigurable easily by software. The proposed robot controller contains not only a processing module but also robot-specific IP's. To show a feasibility of the proposed robot controller, a small entertainment robot, Wizard-4 is implemented with a single chip controller as proposed in this paper.

The robot has recently emerged as a factor in the daily lives of humans, taking the form of a mechanical pet or similar source of entertainment. A robot system that is designed to co-exist with humans, i.e., a coexistence-type robot system, is important to be "it exists in various environments with the person, and robot system by which the interaction of a physical, informational emotion with the person etc. was valued". When studying the impact of intimacy in the human/robot relationship, we have to examine the problems that can arise as a result of physical intimacy(coordination on safety in the hardware side and a soft side). Furthermore, We should also consider the informational aspects of intimacy (recognition technology, and information transport and sharing). This paper reports the interim results of the research of a system configuration that enhances the physical intimacy relationship in the symbiosis of the human and the robot.

Quadruped robot is very useful mechanism for a various area. Recently, home entertainment and military robots adapted quadruped platform and useful function have been introduced. Our goal is the development of quadruped robot locomotion for any type of ground included to sloping one and irregular terrain. This paper, as a first step, deals with design and construction of quadruped robot walking on the flat ground. The most important factor of quadruped robot is stability of locomotion. At first, we introduce the developed quadruped robot based on dynamic simulation and experimental study of general gait algorithm. Finally, propose unique locomotion proper to our mechanism. Future work of this study is the performance test and analysis on the ground of various conditions and proposes the improved mechanism and gait algorithm.

Recently, A robot which accomplish many tasks is the universality in fixed environment. But home robot or entertainment robots has interested greatly, and the concept of service robots is outstanding newly. In special, research about the self-steering robot is increasing gradually. Also Internet has become general, many information devices and tools were connected with internet. According to such a trend, we developed the mobile robot that moves by self-localization and is controlled in the basis of internet. Our robot system will assist office workers. In this paper, we introduce mechanical feature, control system and service faculty of robot, MAIRO in an office environment.

This paper presents an evolvable cooperation strategy based on a genetic programming for the interactive robot soccer game. The interactive robot soccer game has been developed to allow a person to join in the game dynamically and to reinforce entertainment characteristics. In this game, a cooperation strategy between humans and autonomous robots is very important in order to make the game more enjoyable. First of all, necessary action sets for the cooperation strategy and its strategy structure are presented. In the first stage, a blocking action that an autonomous robot cut off an enemy robot from disturbing the way of the human controlled robot has been considered. The success probability of the blocking action has beer obtained in ...

The trends of recent developed a pet robot which interacts with people are increased gradually. There are a few pet robots that are a robot dog, robot cat, and robot fish. The pet robot is featured that it is possible to sympathize and give pleasure to human. The pet robots express delight, sorrow, surprise, and hunger through the artificial intelligence. Previously, the pet robot has to exchange the battery when it is exhausted. Commercialized robots have a self-recharging function, which express hunger. Robot dog AIBO, SONY in Japan, checks the battery for expressing hunger. They find an energy station for recharge. While operation time of AIBO is 1 hour 30 minutes, recharging time is 2 hours. Recharging time is longer than operation time. During the recharge, they don't operate. We obtain a motivation for eating the battery when find the problem. In this paper, introduce an Autonomous Eating Pet Robot and propose a design for realization. The Autonomous Eating Pet Robot has a function that is the most basic instinct that is finding a food and evacuating.
