This paper has developed the computer integration manufacturing system and Internet based tele-operations. The functions of CIMS include production planing, material requirement planning, work order generation, process control, quality control, shipping planning, warehouse and inventory management and material cost accounting.[1] In this paper focuses on the automatic warehouse control and inventory management by developing the information system as well as the Internet-based integration. The system overview is divided into three parts, the mechanical system, the computer and developed software to control and manage the information and the communication system. The mechanical system consists of the warehouse machine and forklift mobile robot controlled by programmable logic controller (PLC). The computer works on many functions such as control station interfaces with PLC, managing database and inventory, and Internet server to broadcast the inventory database to users via World Wide Web and monitoring the operation on web camera. Our scheme the inventory database can be checked easily anywhere and anytime when the users connect to the Internet. In this article, the lead-time and inventory level can be reduced therefore the holding cost and operating time is also decreased.

Recently, service area has been emerging field f robotic applications. Even though assistant robots play an important role for the disabled and the elderly, they still suffer from operating the robots using conventional interface devices such as joysticks or keyboards. In this paper we propose an efficient computer interface using real-time eye-gaze tracking system. The inputs to the proposed system are images taken by a camera and data from a magnetic sensor. The measured data is sufficient to describe the eye and head movement because the camera and the receiver of a magnetic sensor are stationary with respect to the head. So the proposed system can obtain the eye-gaze direction in spite of head movement as long as the distance between the system and the transmitter of a magnetic position sensor is within 2m. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed system in practical aspect and also verify the feasibility of the system as a new computer interface for the disabled.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been reshaping the world by accelerating non-contact services and technologies in various domains. Hospitals as a healthcare system lie at the center of the dramatic change because of their fundamental roles: medical diagnosis and treatments. Leading experts in health, science, and technologies have predicted that robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) can drive such a hospital transformation. Accordingly, several government-led projects have been developed and started toward smarter hospitals, where robots and AI replace or support healthcare personnel, particularly in the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment procedures. This article inspects the remaining element of healthcare services, i.e., surgical treatment, focusing on evaluating whether or not currently available laparoscopic surgical robotic systems are sufficiently preparing for the era of post-COVID-19 when contactless is the new normal. Challenges and future directions towards an effective, fully non-contact surgery are identified and summarized, including remote surgery assistance, domain-expansion of robotic surgery, and seamless integration with smart operating rooms, followed by emphasis on robot tranining for surgical staff.

최근 모바일 운영체제 시장이 확대됨과 동시에 반도체 및 무선통신의 발달로 안드로이드 운영체제가 탑재된 각종 스마트폰 및 에어컨, 스마트TV, 청소로봇, 카메라 등 그 수가 빠른 속도로 보급되고 있다. 이로 인해, 일상생활에서 사용하는 다양한 제품들을 네트워크로 연결하여 정보수집이 가능하게 되었다. 그러나 여러 기기들을 한 번에 제어하는 방법이 아닌, 한 기기의 제어를 한 애플리케이션이 담당하는 형태가 대부분이고, 하나의 디바이스에서 모든 기기들을 관리할 수 있는 애플리케이션이 부족한 실정이다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 유무선 공유기(AP)에 안드로이드 운영체제를 기반으로 하는 기기들을 등록시키고, 서버에 등록되어있는 기기를 웹으로 관리, 제어할 수 있는 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 이는 현재 연구가 활발히 진행 중인 IoT(Internet of Things)분야에 널리 활용될 것으로 사료된다.

일인 다기기 시대에 맞추어 스마트 기기로 다양한 가전제품과 전자기기를 스마트 디바이스를 이용하여 제어 가능하게 출시하고 있다. 또한, 청소로봇과 냉장고, 에어컨, TV 등의 제품 수가 빠르게 증가하고 있으며 이러한 기기들을 이용하여 DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance) 시스템을 구축하고 있다. 그리고 국내외에서 IoT(Internet Of Things)나 Alljoyn 같은 기술들을 개발 및 제공하고 있다. 하지만 현재 사용하고 있는 가전제품이나 전자기기들은 운영체제가 설치되어있는 제품보다 설치되어있지 않은 제품이 많다. 또한, 스마트 가전제품을 사용하지 않는 사용자는 스마트 가전제품 보다는 기존의 전자제품을 구입하는 경우가 더 많이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 기기를 사용하여 사용자가 원하는 데이터를 수치화하고 아두이노 보드에 전송하여 운영체제가 없는 기존의 가전제품도 스마트 기기와 같은 제어를 할 수 있도록 하는 시스템을 제안하고 구현한다.

We designed and implemented a fork-type automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with a laser guidance system. Most previous AGVs have used two types of guidance systems: magnetgyro and wire guidance. However, these guidance systems have high costs, are difficult to maintain with changes in the operating environment, and can drive only a pre-determined path with installed sensors. A laser guidance system was developed for addressing these issues, but limitations including slow response time and low accuracy remain. We present a laser guidance system and control system for AGVs with laser navigation. For analyzing the performance of the proposed system, we designed and built a fork-type AGV, and performed repetitions of our experiments under the same working conditions. The results show an average positioning error of 51.76 mm between the simulated driving path and the driving path of the actual fork-type AGV. Consequently, we verified that the proposed method is effective and suitable for use in actual AGVs.

Because of recent marine accident occurred at Tae-An cost and earthquake in Sichuan province were very large scale accident of disaster to prevent and manage of them. So, it was verified from the experiment of electronic demonstrator that the skimmer system of oil spill mag-sorbent powder and fabrics prepared was very effective and useful technique to collect oil spill samples on the water surface specially at the closed space of underground cave. At this point, the barge-based electronic remote control was very useful system operating easily on the marine fields but also water level at the small pool to skim it with the environment-friendly system of the disposing marine disaster and preventing oil pollution using magnetic adsorbents of Mag-Sorbent*.

In robot operation, a motor with multi-degree of freedom motion control and an encoder for motor control are needed. To perform precise motion, location, and velocity control, the operation of motor and encoder with superior performance is important. In this paper, we studied performance evaluation system that can evaluate the performance of motor and encoder. The performance of motor and encoder can be evaluated in terms of disconnection check, signal variation count, and U, V, W signal check. Disconnection check verifies signal connection between a motor and an encoder, signal variation check verifies A, B signal by counting the number of signal A, B when a motor revolves, and U, V, W signal check verifies operating direction of a motor. The result is shown at graphic LCD integrated in system, and can be checked in PC with PC communication.

In this paper, an elderly assistance system is developed based on Xenomai, a real-time development framework cooperating with the Linux kernel. A Kinect sensor is used to recognize the behavior of the elderly and A-star search algorithm is implemented to find the shortest path to the person. The mobile robot also generates a trajectory using a digital convolution operator which is based on a Bezier curve for smooth driving. In order to follow the generated trajectory within the control period, we developed real-time tasks and compared the performance of the tracking trajectory with that of non real-time tasks. The real-time task has a better result on following the trajectory within the physical constraints which means that it is more appropriate to apply to an elderly assistant system.

최근 애완동물을 키우는 인구가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 애완동물 관련 시장이 지속적으로 성장하고 있으며 애완동물 관련 용품의 수요도 증가하고 있다. 애완동물시장 중 가장 많은 비중을 차지하는 애완견시장에는 다양한 애완견용품들이 존재하지만 애완견용품에 관한 디자인가이드라인이 없어 사람의 판단에 의한 무분별한 애완견용품의 디자인이 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 다양한 애완견용품 중 애완견용 모니터링 시스템을 중심으로 애완견용품의 디자인에 대한 가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다. 혼자 남아 있는 애완견을 여행지 등 어떠한 곳에서도 간단하게 스마트폰을 이용하여 모니터링 할 수 있으며, 신호 제어가 가능한 먹이통을 통해 먹이를 줄 수 있는 애완견 모니터링 로봇이다. 본 연구는 기존 IP Camera의 종류 및 기능을 파악하고 애완견의 행태 및 애완견의 신체 특징을 반영하여 애완견용 모니터링 제품으로써 필요한 최소한의 디자인 가이드라인을 제시하였다. 또 디자인 가이드를 적용한 시제품을 제작하여 시제품 작동에 대한 애완견의 행동을 관찰하여 문제점을 파악하였다. 그러나 본 연구는 연구 대상이 애견으로 다양한 애견의 만족도를 판단하기 위한 데이터 확보 및 연구기간의 한계가 있었으며, 더 많은 데이터 확보를 위해 향후 지속적인 관찰과 문제점 개선을 통한 후속 연구가 필요하다.
