This paper describes a new approach for the operating system level power management to reduce the energy consumed in the IO devices in a robot platform, which provides various functions such as navigation, multimedia application, and wireless communication. The policy proposed in the paper, which was named the Energy-Aware Job Schedule (EAJS), rearranges the jobs scattered so that the idle periods of the devices are clustered into a time period and the devices are shut down during their idle period. The EAJS selects a schedule that consumes the minimum energyamong the schedules that satisfy the buffer and time constraints. Note that the burst job execution needs a larger memory buffer and causes a longer time delay from generating the job request until to finishing it. A prototype of the EAJS is implemented on the Linux kernel that manages the robot system. The experiment results show that a maximum $44\%$ power saving on a DSP and a wireless LAN card can be obtained with the EAJS.

Field works are decreasing gradually since advancement of industrial robots. Tunnel cleaning is a dangerous field work which can be solved only by introducingadvanced tunnel cleaning automation equipment. Industrial robots work tirelessly night and day without a loss in performance. Consequently, greatly reduce the costs of manufactured goods.So far only 200 construction robots are invented. Robots used for tunnel cleaning are not of high standard they always need additional workers for job to be done. Robots offer specific benefits to workers, industries and countries. If introduced correctly for tunnel cleaning, industrial robots can improve the quality of life by freeing workers from dirty, boring, dangerous and heavy labor. Development of advanced tunnel cleaning automation equipment is a must to overcome above issues. The benefits of robots to industry include improved management control, productivity and consistently high quality products. This research is a study on tunnel cleaning automation equipment and introducing advanced tunnel cleaning automation equipment.

4차 산업혁명 이전에도 많은 물류 자동화가 이루어지고 있었다. 그러나 4차 산업혁명이 도래하면서 자동화되는 범위가 더욱 넓어지며 인력이 쓰이는 곳에 로봇이 대거 등장하게 되었다. 그러나 환경이 열악한 중소기업이나 경제성 측면에서의 도입이 어려운 분야에서는 자동 물류 시스템의 적용이 어려운 것이 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 물건을 옮기는 일에 있어서는 라인트레이서를 이용하여 물품의 수송을 도와주고, 적외선 센서 및 바코드 리더기를 이용하여 물품 개수의 현황 계산을 담당하여 정확한 계산을 도출하여 자동으로 원격 데이터베이스에 저장하여 관리할 수 있는 물류관리 지원 시스템을 제안한다.

This paper examine how acceptance of AI robots can be achieved according to occupational groups when the discourse on human labor and occupation changes due to the new industrial revolution is spreading steadily. Previous research on the acceptance of new technologies and products has predicted use behavior through subjective beliefs and values that do not change well over the short term. Therefore, this study compares the beliefs, values, and use intention of AI robots according to occupation. As a result, the subjective belief factor for AI robots was classified into belief in rationality(reason) and belief in benevolence(emotion). The value factors were divided into acceptance value(role performance, communication, social comparison) and avoidance value(risk, complexity). There was a significant difference in the effect of these on the use intention of AI robot by occupation and employment types. This result suggests that there are gaps in the occupation group at the rate of technology acceptance, as opposed to the existing prediction that AI robots will be rapidly expanded by professionals.

This paper describes an intelligent service robot system for managing a store in an unmanned environment. The robot can be a good replacement for humans because it is possible to work all day and to remember lots of information. We design a system architecture for configuring many intelligent functions of intelligent service robot system which consists of four layers; a User Interaction Layer, a Behavior Scheduling Layer, a Intelligent Module Layer, and a Hardware Layer. We develop an intelligent service robot 'Part Timer' based on the designed system architecture. The 'Part Timer' has many intelligent function modules such as face detection-recognition-tracking module, speech recognition module, navigation module, manipulator module, appliance control module, etc. The 'Part Timer' is possible to answer the phone and this function gives convenient interface to users.

현대사회의 산업 현장에서 작업효율과 안전사고예방은 기업의 이익과 직결된다. 현장에서의 인력의 사용으로 인한 한계점을 가지고 있기 때문에 효율적이고 안정적으로 작업 효율을 내며 현장의 많은 안전사고를 미연에 방지하기 위해 많은 산업현장들은 4차 산업 혁명을 통해 수많은 작업들을 로봇을 이용한 자동화로 대체해 오고 있다. 단순히 짐을 옮기고 재고를 파악할 뿐인 간단한 작업임에도 불구하고 물류 피킹/분류 작업은 아직까지 인력을 사용한다. 인력을 한계를 극복하기 위해 작업 현장을 라인 트레이서를 통해 이동하고, 영상분석을 이용해 로봇 암으로 원하는 물건을 정확하게 피킹하고자 적재 하도록 설계한 '영상분석을 이용한 자동 피킹.분류시스템' 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 단순 반복 노동의 피킹/분류 작업을 수행하며 영상분석을 통해 어플리케이션을 이용하여 재고 관리또한 가능하다,

Critical systems with high reliability feature fault tolerant redundancy. Conventional analytical reliability analysis methods that use the Reliability Block Diagram do not adequately reflect characteristics of the redundancy management system and are not suitable for this applications. This paper uses Monte-Carlo method to calculate the reliability of complicated redundant systems. The method was first validated for cases with analytical solutions. Then, the tool was successfully applied to analyze reliability of the flight control systems with a voter as redundancy management system.

This paper presents a design procedure for the supervisory controller(SC) of the high-speed train car. The proposed SC manages control logic and scenario of the overall train system, and monitors input/output signals among the sub-controllers in the system, The roles and functions of each sub-control system are defined, and the interfaces among the control systems are developed. Train control system is modeled with automata, and the model is implemented into a program using a computer-aided software engineering(CASE) tool, Object GEODE, The designed SC is verified and evaluated by using simulation. The SC is shown to successfully perform the designed functions without any errors.

This paper proposes a scheme for distributed load balancing in mobile communication networks based on supervisory control framework. Using load information exchanged with neighboring cells, the "supervisors" that reside in the base stations distribute load among cells by controlling handover parameters in a distributed manner. The supervisors are designed so that the load difference among neighboring cells are kept under a pre-defined value. Results from systematic analysis and simulation indicate that our scheme effectively balances traffic load among cells and reduces call blocking rate of the overloaded cells.
