In this paper, we propose a mobile robot navigation algorithm using data fusion of a monocular camera and ultrasonic sensors. Threshold values for binary image processing are generated by a fuzzy inference method using image data and data of ultrasonic sensors. Threshold value variations improve obstacle detection for mobile robot to move to the goal under poor illumination environments. Obstacles detected by data fusion of camera and ultrasonic sensors are expressed on the grid map and avoided using the circular planning algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by experiments on the Pioneer 2-DX mobile robot in the indoor room with poor lights and a narrow corridor.

In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) prediction models for flexural strength of the cement mortars have been developed. For purpose of constructing this models, 12 different mixes with 144 specimens of the 2, 7, 28 and 90 days flexural strength experimental results of cement mortars containing pure Portland cement (PC), blast furnace slag (BFS), waste tire rubber powder (WTRP) and BFS+WTRP used in training and testing for ANN and ANFIS were gathered from the standard cement tests. The data used in the ANN and ANFIS models are arranged in a format of four input parameters that cover the Portland cement, BFS, WTRP and age of samples and an output parameter which is flexural strength of cement mortars. The ANN and ANFIS models have produced notable excellent outputs with higher coefficients of determination of $R^2$, RMS and MAPE. For the testing of dataset, the $R^2$, RMS and MAPE values for the ANN model were 0.9892, 0.1715 and 0.0212, respectively. Furthermore, the $R^2$, RMS and MAPE values for the ANFIS model were 0.9831, 0.1947 and 0.0270, respectively. As a result, in the models, the training and testing results indicated that experimental data can be estimated to a superior close extent by the ANN and ANFIS models.

신호 교차로에서 포화차두시간에 영향을 미치는 영향인자는 도로조건, 교통조건, 환경조건으로 분류된다. 이러한 요인들의 복합적인 관계가 포화차두시간에 영향을 미친다. 현재 포화교통류율은 이상적인 조건일 때의 포화차두시간을 산출하고, 이를 이용해서 기본 포화교통류율을 구하고, 여기에 좌 우회전, 차로폭, 경사, 중차량 보정계수을 고려함으로써 특정 차로군의 포화교통류율을 산정하고 있다. 포화차두시간에 영향을 미치는 인자들 중에서 정량적으로 나타내기 어려운 인자 즉, 퍼지적 성격을 가진 인자들은 고려하지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 퍼지 근사추론 방법을 이용하여 정성적 인자의 영향을 고려한 모형을 구축하였다. 모형의 입력자료는 강우조건과 주변밝기의 정도, 중차량 구성비의 언어적 표현를 사용하였다. 이러한 변수들에 대하여 설문조사를 통해서 퍼지집합의 멤버쉽함수를 설정하였으며. 이에 기초하여 교차로에서 각 조건별로 포화차두시간을 관측하였다. 이러한 현장 관측치를 바탕으로 퍼지 제어규칙을 설정하고 모형을 구축하였다. 모형의 평가는 추론치와 실측치를 비교함으로써 이루어 졌으며, 결정계수인 $R^2$와 평균절대오차(MAE)와 평균제곱오차(MSE)를 사용하여 분석한 결과 본 모형의 설명력이 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구의 과정에서 강우에 의한 교통용량 감소는 중차량 구성비가 클수록 주변밝기의 정도가 나쁠수록 더욱 큰 것으로 나타났으며 그 감소율은 5.3%에서 21.8%에 이르는 넓은 범위의 값을 보였고. 주변밝기 정도에 따른 교통용량 감소는 4.7$\sim$7.5% 수준으로 나타났다.

The recent development in robot field shows that service robot which interacts with human and provides specific service to human has been researched continually. Especially, robot for human welfare becomes the center of public concern. At present time, guide robot is priority field of general welfare robot and helps the blind keep safe path when he walks outdoor. In this paper, guide robot provides not only collision avoidance but also the best walking direction and velocity to blind people while recognizing environment information from various kinds of sensors. In addition, it is able to provide the most safe path planing on behalf of blind people.

This paper describes user context awareness system, which is one of the most essential technologies in various application services of ubiquitous computing. The proposed system used two-axial accelerometer, embedded in $SenseWear^{(R)}$ PRO2 Armband (BodyMedia). It was worn on the right upper arm of the experiment subjects. Using this data, PC-based fuzzy inference system was realized to distinguish human motion states, such as, tying, sitting, walking and running. The recognition rates of human motion states were 100 %, 98.64 %, 99.27 % and 100 % respectively for tying, sitting, walking and running.

As the induction motor is the core production equipment of the industry, it is necessary to construct a fault prediction and diagnosis system through continuous monitoring. Many researches have been conducted on motor fault diagnosis algorithm based on signal processing techniques using Fourier transform, neural networks, and fuzzy inference techniques. In this paper, we propose a fault diagnosis method of induction motor using LPC and DNN. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the fault diagnosis was carried out using the vibration data of the induction motor in steady state and simulated various fault conditions. Experimental results show that the learning time of our proposed method and the conventional spectrum+DNN method is 139 seconds and 974 seconds each executed on the experimental PC, and our method reduces execution time by 1/8 compared with conventional method. And the success rate of the proposed method is 98.08%, which is similar to 99.54% of the conventional method.

A prototype GIS-based decision support system (DSS) was developed by using a database management system (DBMS), a model management system (MMS), a knowledge-based system (KBS), a graphical user interface (GUI), and a geographical information system (GIS). The method of selecting a dispersion model or a modeling scheme, originally devised by Park and Seok, was developed using our GIS-based DSS. The performances of candidate models or modeling schemes were evaluated by using a single index(statistical score) derived by applying fuzzy inference to statistical measures between the measured and predicted concentrations. The fumigation dispersion model performed better than the models such as industrial source complex short term model(ISCST) and atmospheric dispersion model system(ADMS) for the prediction of the ground level $SO_2$ (1 hr) concentration in a coastal area. However, its coincidence level between actual and calculated values was poor. The neural network models were found to improve the accuracy of predicted ground level $SO_2$ concentration significantly, compared to the fumigation models. The GIS-based DSS may serve as a useful tool for selecting the best prediction model, even for complex terrains.

Many researchers have studied architectures for non-Neumann's computers because of escaping its bottleneck. To avoid the bottleneck, a neuron-based computer has been developed. The computer has only neurons and their connections, which are constructed of the learning. But still it has information processing facilities, and at the same time, it is like as a simplified brain to make inference; it is called "neuron-computer". No instructions are considered in any neural network usually; however, to complete complex processing on restricted computing resources, the processing must be reduced to primitive actions. Therefore, we introduce the instructions to the neuron-computer, in which the most important function is implications. There is an implication represented by binary-operators, but general implications for multi-value or fuzzy logics can't be done. Therefore, we need to use Lukasiewicz' operator at least. We investigated a neuron-computer having instructions for general implications. If we use the computer, the effective inferences base on multi-value logic is executed rapidly in a small logical unit.

Purpose: This paper introduces the technology of prognostics for Industry 4.0 and presents its application procedure for fitness-for-service assessment of natural gas pipelines according to ISO 13374 framework. Methods: Combining data-driven approach with pipe failure models, we present a hybrid scheme for the gas pipeline prognostics. The probability of pipe failure is obtained by using the PCORRC burst pressure model and First Order Second Moment (FOSM) method. A fuzzy inference system is also employed to accommodate uncertainty due to corrosion growth and defect occurrence. Results: With a modified field dataset, the probability of failure on the pipeline is calculated. Then, its residual useful life (RUL) is predicted according to ISO 16708 standard. As a result, the fitness-for-service of the test pipeline is well-confirmed. Conclusion: The framework described in ISO 13374 is applicable to the RUL prediction and the fitness-for-service assessment for gas pipelines. Therefore, the technology of prognostics is helpful for safe and efficient management of gas pipelines in Industry 4.0.
