Several advanced countries have been continually developed PHC pile cutting automation machines for improving productivity, safety and quality of the conventional PHC pile cutting work. However, the target work of the previously developed PHC pile cutting automation machines is only crushing the head of PHC pile. Dangerous grinding work is still performed by workers with seven inch hand grinder. In domestic construction industry, the PHC pile cutting work is usually performed by a crusher and three to four skilled workers. Recent analysis results of the PHC pile cutting work reveal that it frequently makes a lot of cracks which significantly reduce the strength of the pile and is labor-intensive work. The primary objective of this study is to propose the end-effector which can effectively break PHC pile without any longitudinal cracks and to develop an automated pile cutting machine having unified grinder and crusher parts through a wide variety of laboratory and field tests. It is anticipated that the development of the automated pile cutting machine would be able to bring improvements in safety, productivity, quality as well as cost saving.

Crack sealing, a routine and necessary part of pavement maintenance, is a dangerous, costly, and labor-intensive operation. Within the North America, about ${\$}200$ million is spent annually on crack sealing, with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) spending about ${\$}7$ million annually (labor alone accounts for over 50 percent of these costs). Prompted by concerns of safety and cost, the University of Texas at Austin, in cooperation with TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed a unique computer-guided Automated Road Maintenance Machine (ARMM) for pavement crack sealing. In 1999, successful field tests have been undertaken in 8 States around the U.S. This paper first describes significance of the automated crack sealing and technical advances in automated crack sealers including the ARMM, developed in the U.S. It then discusses the ARMM's field implementation and performance evaluation results, and improvements and modifications suggested through the technology evaluation during the field trials. Current research efforts and future work plans in its further development are also presented in this paper.

In this Paper, we have Improved the Manufacturing Process of Liquid Aluminum Sulfate using the Design of Automated Measurement Systems. The Manufacturing Process of Liquid Aluminum Sulfate uses a Large Weight. The Quality of a Product Depends Highly on the Proportion of the Raw Material Input in the Production Process. Therefore, it is Very Important to Accurately Measure the Amount of Raw Material. For Automation Design, Load Cell Sensor which can Measure Large Weight Accurately and PLC Technology which is most used in Automation Process are Applied. The Content of Aluminum Oxide in the Aluminum Sulfate Produced before the Automation Design Varies from 8.023% to 8.250%. However, after Automation Design, the Amount of Change from 8.09% to 8.19% was Greatly Reduced. As a Result, we could Reduce the Quality Defect rate Due to Weighing Errors and Reduce Safety Accidents by Applying Automation System.

Earthwork is very equipment-intensive task and researches related to automated excavation have been conducted. There is an issue to secure the safety for an automated excavating system. Therefore, this paper focuses on how to improve safety for semi- or fully-automated backhoe excavation. The primary objective of this research is to develop object detection algorithm for automated safety system in excavation work. In order to satisfy the research objective, a diverse sensing technologies are investigated and analysed in terms of functions, durability, and reliability and verified its performance by several tests. The authors developed the objects detecting algorithm for user interface program using laser sensor. The results of this study would be the basis for developing the automated object detection system.

The automation of container terminals is an important factor that determines port competitiveness, and global advanced ports tend to strengthen their competitiveness through container terminal automation. The operational efficiency of the AGV, which is an essential transport equipment of the automated terminal, can improve the productivity of the automated terminal. The operation of AGVs in automated container terminals differs from that of conventional container terminals, as it is based on an automated system in which AGVs travel along designated paths and operate according to assigned tasks, requiring consideration of factors such as workload, congestion, and collisions. To prevent such problems and improve the efficiency of AGV operations, a more sophisticated model is necessary. Thus, this paper proposes an AGV scheduling model that takes into account the AGV travel path and task assignment within the terminal The model prevent the problem of deadlock and. various cases are generated by changing AGV algebra and number of tasks to create AGV driving situations and evaluate the proposed algorithm through algorithm and optimization analysis.

최근 생산성 향상을 위해 용접 자동화가 실용 분야, 특히 GMAW 공정에서 활발히 진행되고있다. 그러 나, 현 수준의 용접 자동화는 완전 자동화에는 이르지 못하고 단지 주어진 용접 조건과 용접 경로로 용 접을 실행하는 로보트 시스템의 채용으로 인간의 작업을 대체하는 정도이다. 이와 같은 로보트 시스템 을 이용한 자동화에 있어서는 예기치못한 공정의 변동에 대처하기 위한 공정 중 용접질 모니터링이 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 목적으로 표면의 다점 온도를 측정하여 이 중 한점의 온도와 이점 이점 부근의 온도 구배로써 용융지 크기 추정 지수를 구성하였다. 이 지수는 온도 변수들과 대응 용융지 크기 간에 다중 회귀 방법을 이용하여 최소 추정 오차가 발생하도록 설정된 수학적 모델이다. 제안된 지 수의 추정 성능을 평가하기 위해 용접 열전도 모델로 부터 얻은 용융지 크기와 표면 온도분포 data를 이용 하여 일련의 시뮬레이션 연구를 실시하였다. 이 과정에서 지수 구성 온도 변수들의 차수가 추정 성능에 미치는 영향과 온도 측정 위치에 따른 추정 성능의 민감도를 추정 오차와 오차 분산을 통해 분석하고, 지수를 사용하였을 때의 추정성능을 한점 온도를 이용하는 경우와 비교 평가하였다.
