인간과 인공생명체(Artificial Life Systems)가 서로 커뮤니케이션을 진행하기 위하여 인공생명체는 자신이 의도한 바를 음성, 표정, 행동 등 다양한 방식을 통하여 표현할 수 있어야 한다. 특히 자신의 좋아함과 싫음 등 자율적인 감정을 표현할 수 있는 것은 인공생명체가 더욱 지능적이고 실제 생명체의 특성을 가지게 되는 중요한 전제조건이기도 하다. 위에서 언급한 인공생명체의 감정표현 특성을 구현하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 음성 속에 감정을 포함시키는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 인간의 감정표현 음성데이터를 실제로 구축하고 이러한 음성데이터에서 감정을 표현하는데 사용되는 에너지, 지속시간, 피치(pitch) 등 특징을 추출한 후, 일반적인 음성에 위 과정에서 추출한 감정표현 특징을 적용하였으며 부가적인 주파수대역 필터링을 통해 기쁨, 슬픔, 화남, 두려움, 혐오, 놀람 등 6가지 감정을 표현할 수 있게 하였다. 감정표현을 위한 음성처리 알고리즘은 현재 음성합성에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 TD-PSOLA[1] 방법을 사용하였다.

Artificial life is used in various fields of applied science by evaluating natural life-related systems, their processes, and evolution. Research has been actively conducted to evolve physical body design and behavioral control strategies for the dynamic activities of these artificial life forms. However, since co-evolution of shapes and neural networks is difficult, artificial life with optimized movements has only one movement in one form and most do not consider the environmental conditions around it. In this paper, artificial life that co-evolve bodies and neural networks using predator-prey models have environmental adaptive movements. The predator-prey hierarchy is then extended to the top-level predator, medium predator, prey three stages to determine the stability of the simulation according to initial population density and correlate between body evolution and population dynamics.

본 논문은 두개의 날개를 가진 다양한 생명체들의 형상과 움직임을 복잡한 공기역학 없이 body-brain 공진화를 사용하여 생성하는 시스템을 기술한다. 인공생명 기술이 다양한 가상생명체들을 생성하는데 이용되었지만 제한된 기하학적 요소들을 사용한 날개 생성의 어려움과 매우 복잡한 공기역학으로 인하여 하늘의 생명체들을 탐색한 연구들은 매우 드물다. 본 논문의 진화된 생명체들은 시스템의 단순함에도 불구하고 심미적인 모습과 유기적인 날개침 동작을 보여준다. 진화 알고리즘을 위한 유전형 인코딩에 쓰인 자료구조는 제한된 리스트 구조로서 이는 방향그래프와 유사하나 더욱 쉽게 다루어질 수 있다. 본 시스템으로 진화된 생명체는 연속적인 삼각형 패치로 이루어진 두개의 대칭형 날개를 가지며, 새, 나비, 박쥐 혹은 상상적인 용이나 익룡 등을 연상시키는 다양한 모습과 기동을 보여준다.

We present a two-step evolution system that produces controllable virtual creatures in physically simulated 3D environment. Previous evolutionary methods for virtual creatures did not allow any user intervention during evolution process, because they generated a creature's shape, locomotion, and high-level behaviors such as target-following and obstacle avoidance simultaneously by one-time evolution process. In this work, we divide a single system into manageable two sub-systems, and this more likely allowsuser interaction. In the first stage, a body structure and low-level motor controllers of a creature for straight movement are generated by an evolutionary algorithm. Next, a high-level control to follow a given path is achieved by a neural network. The connection weights of the neural network are optimized by a genetic algorithm. The evolved controller could follow any given path fairly well. Moreover, users can choose or abort creatures according to their taste before the entire evolution process is finished. This paper also presents a new sinusoidal controller and a simplified hydrodynamics model for a capped-cylinder, which is the basic body primitive of a creature.

Cyber singer appeared in the late 1990s has disappeared briefly appeared. although a few attempts in the 2000s, it did not show significant successes. cyber singer was born thanks to the technical development of the IT industry and the emergence of an idol training system in the music industry. It was developed by Vocaloid 'Seeyou' starting from 'Adam'. cyber singer that differenatiated typical digital characters in a cartoon or game may be subject to idolize to the music as a medium. They also feature forming a plurality of fandom. therefore, such attempts and repeated failures, this could be considered a fashion, but it flew content creation and ongoing attempts to take advantage of the new media, such as Vocaloid can see that there are expectations for a true Cyber-born singer. Early-Cyber singer is made only resemble human appearance, but 'Sciart' and 'Seeyou' has been evolving to becoming more like the human capabilities. in this paper, stylized cyber singer had disappeared in the past in the process of developing the technology to evolve into own artificial life does not end in failure cases, gradually led to a change in public perceptions of the image look looking machine was an attempt in that sense. With the direction of the evolution of the mechanical function to obtain a human, fun and human exchanges and mutual feelings. And it is equipped with an artificial life form that evolved with it only in appearance and function. in order to support this logic, I refer to the study of the coevolution of man and machine at every Bruce Mazlish. And, I have analyzed the evolution of cyber singer Bruce research from the perspective of the development process since the late 1990s, the planning of the eight singers who have appeared and design of the cyber character and important voices to be evaluated as a singer (vocal). The machine has been evolving coevolution with humans. cyber singer ambivalent development targets are recognized, but strive to become the new artificial creatures of horror idea of human desire and death continues. therefore, the new Cyber-organisms are likely to be the same style as 'Seeyou'. because, cartoon forms and whirring voice may not be in the form of a signifier is the real human desires, but this is because the contemporary public's desire to be desired and the technical development of this type can be created at the point where the cross-signifier.

Recently, there have been several studies on the inspiration and application of optimized natural structures. One study introduced a new adhesion method that was inspired by the feet of geckos because of their superior features such as high adhesion strength, ease-of-removal, and they are environmentally friendly. Various micro- or nano-structures were fabricated and tested for gecko-like dry adhesives, but gecko-like dry adhesives that were developed became easily worn from frequent use. In this study, we propose a metal-coating method to improve the durability of gecko-like dry adhesives. We evaluate the initial adhesion strength and durability by performing repeated adhesion tests on a glass plate. The initial adhesive strength of gold-coated micro-structures was 60% of that for non-coated ones. However, the adhesive strength of gold-coated micro-structures was kept as 58% of their initial adhesion strength, while that of non-coated ones was only 40%.

사이버 캐릭터(이하 캐릭터라 함)는 가사 환경에서 동작하는 인공 생명체이다. 캐릭터는 기본적으로 센서 시스템과 동작 제어 시스템으로 구성된다. 캐릭터는 센서 시스템을 통하여 가상 환경과 실세계를 인지하고, 사용자의 명령을 인식한다. 동작 제어 시스템은 과제를 수행하기 위한 계획을 수립하고, 적합한 행위를 선택하여 캐릭터를 동작시킨다. 사용자는 캐릭터와의 상호작용과 더불어 지능적인 행동을 직접 경험함으로써 가상 환경 속에서 현실감을 느끼게 된다. 본 논문에서는 현실감 있는 캐릭터와 가상 환경의 구축을 위한 3차원 그래픽 모델, 애니메이션 및 동작 제어 시스템, 실시간 영상 분석 시스템에 대하여 설명하고, 본 연구실에서 개발한 실험 결과를 소개한다.
