Various monitoring sensors are used to predict and detect structural damage. Smart sensors, such as glass-fiber sensors, PZT, and MEMS, among others, have replaced traditional sensors. They are now being used in many areas. This study aims to predict the damage by measuring the PZT voltage attached on the specimen by the applied impact load. In the experiment to detect damages in beam connection, simple $H-400{\times}200{\times}8{\times}13$ beams were spliced with bolts. The results of FFT between PZT sensor and accelrometer were compared to measure the sensitivity of the PZT sensor. The damage to the beam was presumed by loosening the bolt, and then the damage measurement was accompanied. Secondly, a steel $PL600{\times}65{\times}5.8$ plate beam was fabricated for the purpose of experimenting on damage measurement. Impact loading test on three different locations was carried out. Damage width varied between 6~42mm on both sides by cutting, using a steel saw. The ratio of frequencies before and after the damage was computed to quantify the damage level by using FFT, and the change in mode pattern with the increased damage was investigated to measure the damage.

To substitute TLS in the hybrid system which is combined with Sagnac interferometer and fiber bragg grating (FBG) it is necessary to investigate how the laser source (TLS and CW) and sensor material variate the response of fiber optic sensor. Two different hollow cylinder type mandrel materials are proposed which are PTFE and PTFE+carbon and 18 m optical fiber is wounded at the mandrel surface. CW laser source experiments had been done in the oil tank which is filled with transformer oil in the 1 kHz~20 kHz frequency range. Also Sagnac interferometer fiber optic sensor is combined with FBG called hybrid system and TLS used as a light source. Based on the experimental results PTFE sensor showed more higher magnitude of detection signal rather than carbon sensor and this result is agreement with the McMahon's theoretical results. Phase variation is inversely proportional to the elastic modulus of the mandrel material. In PTFE fiber sensor, tunable laser source showed more higher performance rather than CW case. Therefore, TLS fiber optic sensor can be applied to the hybrid system which is combined with Sagnac and FBG.

A sensor network is composed of a large number of tiny devices, scattered and deployed in a specified regions. Each sensing device has processing and wireless communication capabilities, which enable it to gather information from the sensing area and to transfer report messages to a base station. The energy-efficient routing paths are established when the base station requests a query, since each node has several characteristics such as low-power, constrained energy, and limited capacity. The established paths are recovered while minimizing the total transmit energy and maximizing the network lifetime when the paths are broken. In this paper, we propose a routing algorithm that each sensor node reports its adjacent link information to the sink node when a sink node broadcasts a query. The sink node manages the total topology and establishes routing paths. This algorithm has a benefit to find an alternative path by reducing the negotiating messages for establishing paths when the established paths are broken. To reduce the overhead of collection information, each node has a link information before reporting to the sink. Because the node recognizes which nodes are adjacent. The proposed algorithm reduces the number of required messages, because sensor nodes receive and report routing messages for establishment at the beginning of configuring routing paths, since each node keeps topology information to establish a routing path, which is useful to report sensing tasks in monitoring environments.

Land surface temperature is known to be an important factor in understanding the interactions of the ground-atmosphere. However, because of the large spatio-temporal variability, regular observation is rarely made. The existing land surface temperature is observed using satellite images, but due to the nature of satellite, it has the limit of long revisit period and low accuracy. In this study, in order to confirm the possibility of replacing land surface temperature observation using satellite imagery, images acquired by TIR (Thermal Infrared) sensor mounted on UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) are used. The acquired images were transformed from JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) to TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) format and orthophoto was then generated. The DN (Digital Number) value of orthophoto was used to calculate the actual land surface temperature. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the calculated land surface temperature, the land surface temperature was compared with the land surface temperature directly observed with an infrared thermometer at the same time. When comparing the observed land surface temperatures in two ways, the accuracy of all the land covers was below the measure accuracy of the TIR sensor. Therefore, the possibility of replacing the satellite image, which is a conventional land surface temperature observation method, is confirmed by using the TIR sensor mounted on UAV.

현대사회와 미래사회는 가속화되어지는 IT기술에 의해서 융합되어진 작업의 효율 및 성능의 발전이 이슈화되고 있다. 따라서 1990년대부터는 군사 및 재활분야와 함께 제조업 및 유통업 등 전반적인 산업 모두에서 근력보조기구에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 과거에는 일반인이 무거운 짐을 운반하는 것을 완전한 로봇이 대체하거나 몸이 불편한 사회적 약자가 휠체어 및 지팡이 또는 전동 휠체어와 같은 보조 개념이 아닌 완전한 대체의 개념을 가지고 있었다. 그러나 웨어러블이 대두됨에 따라 기계와 인체가 합쳐지는 상호작용 근력보조기구가 탄생했다. 근력보조기구는 힘/토크 센서를 통한 인간과 로봇간의 상호작용에 의해 인간의 다양한 상지 및 하지 동작을 구현할 수 있는 근력 강화용 웨어러블 로봇 등이 있다.

본 연구는 사람을 완전히 대체할 수 있는 완성형 서빙 로봇에 한 걸음 더 나아가는 것이 목표이다. 현재 시중에 나온 서빙 로봇은 호출 및 주문받기 등의 부가적인 기능을 할 수 없어 사람을 완전히 대체할 수 없다. 이에 따라 서빙 로봇의 효율성이 부족하여 대부분의 식당에서의 서빙 로봇 이용성이 낮다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 호출 벨을 통한 로봇 호출 기능, 로봇에 부착된 인터페이스를 활용한 주문 및 결제 시스템 그리고 LIDAR 와 IMU 센서를 이용한 자율주행 기술을 이용하여 로봇만으로 다양한 업무를 수행할 수 있는 결과물을 만드는 것이 목표이다.

최근 주목 받고 있는 산화아연(ZnO)은 레이저 다이오드, 가스 센서, 자외선 센서, 투명전극 등으로 다양하게 사용될 수 있어 연구개발이 폭 넓게 이루어지고 있는 상황이다. 특히, 3.3 eV의 direct bandgap 에너지를 가지고 있는 ZnO은 현재 자외선센서로 많이 적용되고 있는 물질인 GaN계열을 대체할 수 있는 유망한 물질로 주목 받고 있다. 공기중의 산소나 수분의 표면반응에 의한 자외선 측정을 하는 ZnO을 나노선으로 만들게 되면, 표면대비 부피비가 박막에 비해 급격히 증가하기 때문에 민감도가 커지고 반응시간이 짧아지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 자외선센서의 민감도와 반응성을 향상시키기 위해 전기화학적 합성법을 통해 ZnO의 박막과 나노선을 제조하였다. 사진공정을 통해 3 ${\mu}m$의 간격을 가진 금(Au) 전극을 만든 후, 전기화학적 합성법을 통해 아연이온이 포함된 용액에서 정전류를 흘려보내 아연 또는 ZnO을 증착시킬 수 있었다. 첫 번째로 ZnO을 양쪽 Au 전극에서 동시에 증착하여 두 박막이 접합하였고, 두 번째는 100nm의 지름을 가진 Ni 나노선를 전극 양쪽에서 자석을 통해 자기장을 형성해 정렬시키고 ZnO을 Au 전극과 Ni 나노선에 증착한 후, Ni 나노선를 산화시킴으로써, ZnO 나노구조를 형성하였다. 세 번째로는 Au 전극 양쪽에 아연을 전기화학적 합성을 하여 박막으로 증착하고 고온에서 산화과정을 통해 100 nm 이하의 지름을 가진 ZnO 나노선를 형성하였다. 이렇게 만들어진 세가지 구조의 ZnO의 나노구조와 결정성은 주사전자현미경과 X선 회절 분석기를 통해 측정하였으며, 자외선에 대한 민감도와 반응성은 365 nm의 파장을 가진 자외선발생기와 소스미터장치를 통해 측정하였다. 박막에서 100 nm 이하의 지름을 가진 ZnO 나노선로 갈 수록 자외선에 대한 민감도와 반응성이 향상되었다.

Recently, due to people's incontinent use all over the world, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas were nearly to be exhausted and also causes serious environment pollutions. Therefore, there is a strong need to develop solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal to replace fossil fuels to prevent suffering from above problems. Wish advances in sensor technology, such data is collected as a kind of stream data which arrives in an online manner so that it is characterized as high- speed, real-time and unbounded and it requires fast data processing to get the up-to-date results. Therefore, the traditional data processing techniques are not fit to deal with stream data. In this paper, we propose a kalman filter-based algorithm to process renewable stream data.

This study is proposed the novel PPG sensor device and the signal processing method to replace the acceleration sensor that is used to reject motion artifacts contained in photoplethysmography(PPG). The proposed method is to reject motion artifacts by an adaptive filter based on the estimated motion artifact by using a blue LED light. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method experimentally, We did design a novel sensor consisted of blue/red LEDs and photo-sensor and implemented, and then rejected the motion artifacts by using an adaptive filter and the implemented sensor. In the results of the experiments, it is shown that the proposed sensor device and signal processing can reconstruct the PPG signal despite the occurrence of motion artifacts, and also that the SNR was 4.5 times of moving average filter. According to the experimental results, the proposed method can be applied to design a low-cost device.
