This study aimed to explore the relationship between Intelligent Robot Reacher(IRT)-student by examining the factors of their relationship perceived by middle school students. In doing so, we developed questionnaires based on the existing teacher-student relationship scale and conducted an online survey of 283 first graders in middle school. The collected date were analyzed using exploratory factor analyses with SPSS 23 and confirmatory factor analysis with Amos 21. The study findings identified four factors of IRT-student relationship namely "trust", "competence", "emotional exchange", and "tolerance". It is expected that the study can be used to discuss ways to enhance educationally significant interaction between students-IRT and teaching methods using intelligent robots(IRs). Also, the study will contribute to the understanding and development of various services using IRs. Based on the study finidngs, future studies should investigate the perception of various education stockholders (teachers, parets, etc) on IRT to elevate the Human-Robot Interaction in the education field.

지능형 로봇들이 빠른 걸음으로 우리 생활 속에 등장하기 시작했다. 2000년 11월 일본 요코하마에서 열린 최초의 '인간도우미 로봇전시회(로봇덱스2000)'에는 6~7종의 개인용 로봇들이 선을 보였는데 50cm 크기 밖에 안되는 자그마한 이 로봇들은 저절로 뛰고 춤추는가 하면 미니 축구공을 차기도 했다. 로보덱스 2000을 계기로 일본을 물론 미국과 유럽의 과학기술자들은 사람을 닮은 보다 정교한 로봇을 제작하기 위한 치열한 경쟁에 뛰어 들고 있다. 기계에서 인간과 같은 인공 시력, 후각, 청각 그리고 촉각 외에도 인간지능과 비슷한 것을 불어넣는 작업은 슈퍼컴퓨터를 제작하고 마천루를 건설하거나 도시전체를 설계하는 일보다 휠씬 어려운 일이다. 그러나 2010년경에는 거리에서 사람처럼 걷고, 말하고 생각하는 '로봇 사피엔스(지능 로봇)'와 심심찮게 마주치게 될 것으로 기대하는 전문가들이 많다.

본 논문에서는 인간형 로봇의 태스크 실행 중 자율 감정 생성을 위하여 Three-layered hybrid architecture에 기반한 감정 반응 시스템을 제안한다. Three-layered hybrid architecture는 Deliberative layer, Reactive layer Hardware abstraction layer의 3단계의 계층으로 되어 있으며, 모바일 로봇의 자율 동작을 위해서 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 저자가 개발중인 안드로이드 EveR-2의 감정 시스템에 적용하여 로봇의 태스크 동작 중에 외부의 자극들로부터 자신의 감정을 생성하고, 생성된 감정과 태스크를 조합하여 자신의 행동을 변화시키며 인간과 상호작용하는 로봇 감정 시스템을 구현하였다.

Based on the fact that a human being walks naturally and stably with consuming a minimum energy, this paper proposes a new method of generating a natural gait of 5-link biped robot like human by analyzing a COG (Center Of Gravity) trajectory of human's gait. In order to generate a natural gait pattern for 5-link biped robot, it considers the COG trajectory measured from human's gait images on the sagittal and frontal plane. Although the human and 5-link biped robot are similar in the side of the kinematical structure, numbers of their DOFs(Degree Of Freedom) are different. Therefore, torques of the human's joints cannot are applied to robot's ones directly. In this paper, the proposed method generates the gait pattern of the 5-link biped robot from the GA algorithm which utilize human's ZMP trajectory and torques of all joints. Since the gait pattern of the 5-link biped robot model is generated from human's ones, the proposed method creates the natural gait pattern of the biped robot that minimizes an energy consumption like human. In the side of visuality and energy efficiency, the superiority of the proposed method have been improved by comparative experiments with a general method that uses a inverse kinematics.

The purpose of this study is to progress the development plan of safety management on the intelligent robot through safety analysis on the intelligent robot, major present condition of safety management on the intelligent robot, enforcement method of safety management on the intelligent robot. The following is the result of the study. First, we have to establish the provision or the special legislation to regulate the safety management of the intelligent robot substantially in the intelligent robot development and supply promotion law, the enforcement ordinance, the enforcement regulation. And, we should propel to establish the provision on the safety management of the intelligent robot in the laws related on ethics and safety. Second, we should establish the Robot Ethical Charter through the national and international agreement to give a guarantee against the safety management of the intelligent robot. Furthermore, we have to induces people's interest on the safety management of the intelligent robot through offering the public information of the Robot Ethical Charter for coexistence of human and robot and have to understand about rights of the intelligent robot. Third, the security industry and learned circles have to recognize the important effect that the intelligent robot gets in the security industry and try to grope the safety management and the application plan on the intelligent robot. Also, the security industry and learned circles should concern not only using and managing of the intelligent robot including the military robot, the security robot but also protecting human from the intelligent robot.

Robot systems have applied to manufacturing or industrial field for reducing the need for human presence in dangerous and/or repetitive tasks. However, robot applications are transformed from industrial field to human life in recent tendency Nowadays, final goal of robot is to make a intelligent robot that can understand what human say and learn by itself and have internal emotion. For example Home service robots are able to provice functions such as security, housework, entertainment, education and secretary To provide various functions, home robots need to recognize human`s requirement and environment, and it is indispensable to use artificial intelligence technology for implementation of home robots. In this paper, implemented robot system takes data from several sensors and fuses the data to recognize environment information. Also, it can select a proper behavior for environment using soft computing method. Each behavior is composed with intuitive motion and sound in order to let human realize robot behavior well.

The purpose of this study is analyzing the preference of young children for the outward appearance of a teacher-aided humanoid robot. The subjects of this study were 180 kindergarten children who were 4 years old. Ninety five children among the subjects were male, and 85 children were female. The instrument used for this study consisted of 15 questions that involved 3 domains; figure, face, and practical use of robot. The major findings of the study were as follows: First, young children preferred a smooth and intimate robot, and one that had a similar size to them. Second, young children preferred a more characteristic face with big eyes. Third, young children preferred a robot which had a contoured body Fourth, young children preferred a robot which had two legs or tank wheels. Fifth, young children preferred a robot that could play with them and be manipulated by them.
