This paper aims to develop a model to estimate the paint thickness in a shipyard spray painting according to changes of spraying distance and speed. We acquired the experimental datasets of five different conditions with respect to the spraying distance and speed using a painting robot. In addition, we applied a preprocessing step to handle noises which might be caused by various reasons such as a nozzle damage. Our method is to transform a thickness function of a specified spraying distance and speed into another function of an unknown spraying and speed. We observed that the proposed method shows more stable and more accurate predictions compared with an artificial neural network-based approach.

Purpose: Underground utility tunnel is facility that is jointly house infrastructure such as electricity, water and gas in city, causing condensation problems due to lack of airflow. This paper aims to prevent electricity leakage fires caused by condensation by detecting whether the control panel door in the underground utility tunnel is open using a deep learning model. Method: YOLO, a deep learning object recognition model, is trained to recognize the opening and closing of the control panel door using video data taken by a robot patrolling the underground utility tunnel. To improve the recognition rate, image augmentation is used. Result: Among the image enhancement techniques, we compared the performance of the YOLO model trained using mosaic with that of the YOLO model without mosaic, and found that the mosaic technique performed better. The mAP for all classes were 0.994, which is high evaluation result. Conclusion: It was able to detect the control panel even when there were lights off or other objects in the underground cavity. This allows you to effectively manage the underground utility tunnel and prevent disasters.

This paper aims at implementing experimental devices with which middle school students can explore scientific ideas using GoGo Board and NetLogo that connect real and simulated worlds. Related research literature was reviewed to design a simulation-based learning model using computer simulation and robot-related activities. In order to construct devices for exploratory experiments, GoGo Board was adopted for developing the interface of Micro-Based Laboratory(MBL) devices with several sensors while NetLogo was used for connecting MBL devices (real world) and simulated experiments (virtual world). The simulation contents were developed in the area of heat equilibrium for changing temperature and the conduct-current relationship appeared in the textbook of middle school science class. With the developed device and contents students can visualize the change of temperature cold and hot waters in terms of heat equilibrium. They also can measure the change of conductor representing the relationship between conductor and current. The formative evaluation of the contents carried out with several middle school students indicated the future direction for upgrading simulation contents and interface. The results might be beneficial for science educators who want to apply simulation contents with the use of computers.

The Intelligent Space(ISpace) provides challenging research fields for surveillance, human-computer interfacing, networked camera conferencing, industrial monitoring or service and training applications. ISpace is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. According to the cooperation of many intelligent devices, the environment, it is very important that the system knows the location information to offer the useful services. In order to achieve these goals, we present a method for representing, tracking and human following by fusing distributed multiple vision systems in ISpace, with application to pedestrian tracking in a crowd. This paper described appearance based unknown object tracking with the distributed vision system in intelligent space. First, we discuss how object color information is obtained and how the color appearance based model is constructed from this data. Then, we discuss the global color model based on the local color information. The process of learning within global model and the experimental results are also presented.

Software in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is becoming a key foundation in an intelligent information society. Therefore, it is necessary to study the new direction of manpower training and education that can cope with the times. To this end, the Ministry of Education reorganized the curriculum and is implementing software education based on a logical problem-solving process based on computing thinking skills rather than acquiring general ICT knowledge. However, there is a lack of securing high-quality educational content for software education, and there is also a lack of teaching aids that can be taught in connection with advanced IT technologies. To overcome this, this paper proposes the development of external expansion devices to expand educational content and functions capable of convergent software education such as artificial intelligence using coding robots for software education. Through this, effective software education is possible by improving the curriculum of the existing simple problem-solving method and developing various learning materials.

Recently, various fault diagnosis studies are being conducted utilizing data from collaborative robots. Existing studies performing fault diagnosis on collaborative robots use static data collected based on the assumed operation of predefined devices. Therefore, the fault diagnosis model has a limitation of increasing dependency on the learned data patterns. Additionally, there is a limitation in that a diagnosis reflecting the characteristics of collaborative robots operating with multiple joints could not be conducted due to experiments using a single motor. This paper proposes an LSTM diagnostic model that can overcome these two limitations. The proposed method selects representative normal patterns using the correlation analysis of vibration and current data in single-axis and multi-axis work environments, and generates residual patterns through differences from the normal representative patterns. An LSTM model that can perform gear wear diagnosis for each axis is created using the generated residual patterns as inputs. This fault diagnosis model can not only reduce the dependence on the model's learning data patterns through representative patterns for each operation, but also diagnose faults occurring during multi-axis operation. Finally, reflecting both internal and external data characteristics, the fault diagnosis performance was improved, showing a high diagnostic performance of 98.57%.

In this paper, optical flow based keypoint detection and tracking technique is proposed for the collaboration between flying drone with vision system and ground robots. There are many challenging problems in target detection research using moving vision system, so we combined the improved FAST algorithm and Lucas-Kanade method for adopting the better techniques in each feature detection and optical flow motion tracking, which results in 40% higher in processing speed than previous works. Also, proposed image binarization method which is appropriate for the given marker helped to improve the marker detection accuracy. We also studied how to optimize the embedded system which is operating complex computations for intelligent functions in a very limited resources while maintaining the drone's present weight and moving speed. In a future works, we are aiming to develop collaborating smarter robots by using the techniques of learning and recognizing targets even in a complex background.
