This study is a review study attempted to analyze the current situation of surgical robots based on previous research on surgical robots in the era of the 4th revolution, and to forecast the future direction of surgical robots. Surgical robots have made full progress since the launch of the da Vinci and the surgical robot is playing a role of supporting the surgeries of the surgeons or the master-slave method reflecting the intention of the surgeons. Recently, technologies are being developed to combine artificial intelligence and big data with surgical robots, and to commercialize a universal platform rather than a platform dedicated to surgery. Moreover, technologies for automating surgical robots are being developed by generating 3D image data based on diagnostic image data, providing real-time images, and integrating image data into one system. For the development of surgical robots, cooperation with clinicians and engineers, safety management of surgical robot, and institutional support for the use of surgical robots will be required.

This paper presents a design of the Meta-Class Repository (MCR) which maintain syntactically analyzed and structured meta-class information from UML diagrams, and then proposes 'meta-class,' also known as super-class, to construct structured information analyzed syntactically. The MCR is a collection of these meta-classes which contains the information extracted from diagrams. This paper also presents a design of the Code Generation Engine (CGE) which roles generating codes corresponding classes from UML diagrams based on the MCR maintaining a collection of meta-classes which is syntactically-analyzed and constructed in previous process. The logics of CGE are designed to generate codes collaborated with MCR and CGE with integration. The logics of CGE mechanism is presented with the form of finite state machine to present the algorithms of code generation formally and have the advantages of simplicity and easiness in development.

In this study, the conversation behavior of users is investigated by using in-vehicle voice interaction system. The purpose of this study is to identify the elements of conversations that the users expect in voice interactions with systems and present the structural improvements to enable the voice interactions similar to those between people. To observe the users' behavior of voice interaction in the vehicle, the data through contextual inquiry are collected and the interview contents are analyzed by using the open coding. We have been able to explore the usefulness of voice interaction features, which are of great importance in that they increase the user's satisfaction with the features and their usage persistence. This study is meaningful in analyzing the user's empirical needs for the technology of interpersonal model from the perspective of conversation.

Shortage of SOC budget and inappropriate initial construction cost planning have worsened the economic sentiment of the construction firm. Construction VE can be one of the solutions for improving the profitability of construction projects. This study identifies the strong and weak points of construction firms for establishing the strategy of effective construction VE by using importance-performance analysis. As a result, construction firms have strong points on support, cooperation, and knowledge about construction VE, but have weak points on 'VE experience of VE leader', 'Detailed cost estimation', and 'Idea generation and evaluation'. This paper contributes to establishing the strategy of effective construction VE from the perspective of the construction firm, which is differentiated from previous studies that have focused on the institutional approach for construction VE.

Due to the recent accident caused by the automated vehicle, discussions on the ethical aspects of AI have been actively underway. This paper confirms that AI is inevitably connected to ethical components through the concepts and techniques related to robots-AI, and argues that ethical aspects are built-in, not post facto. Furthermore, this devises a solution to the trolley dilemma that can serve as a clue to ethical problems associated with automated vehicles. Preferentially, that process contains writing Bayesian networks. Next, only important and influential data are left after the pre-processing stage, and crowd-sourcing & extrapolation is used to calculate the exact figures of the networks. Through this process, this argues that humans' subjects are certainly included in implementing algorithms and models and discusses the necessity and direction of engineering liberal arts, especially education of ethics that distinguished from major education to prevent distortions and biases abouts AI systems.

Ocean waves passing through the underwater bar at a shallow depth experience a shoaling effect caused by decreasing water depth, a nonlinear interaction therein owing to steepening wave slope, and a wave dispersion effect as the water depth increases again. Because this problem includes many complicated phenomena, it is used as a good example of validating a theoretical development or a CFD method for ocean wave applications. Validation is performed mainly for regular waves by comparing the wave elevation patterns in the time domain with the experimental results. In this study, the spectral evolution of wave spectrum is investigated in the frequency domain when a CFD method such as OpenFOAM is applied for this problem. In particular, the effects of initial phase conditions as well as the nonlinear interaction among harmonic waves are studied.

In this study, in order to support the expression of group creativity of high school students, we developed mathematics learning contents linked with mobile and online/offline that obtain the maximum and minimum values of the function within a limited range. This learning content was developed in connection with the 'environment', a cross-curricular learning topic. We explored the concept of group creativity in school mathematics. Its manifestation process, elements of group creativity expression process, and mobile and on/offline implementation functions were also explored. Then, we developed a hybrid app, 'Making the Best Box that Thinks of the Earth', which can express group creativity through mobile and online/offline-linked cooperative learning. A learning management system (LMS) and a teaching and learning guidance plan were also developed to efficiently operate mobile and online/offline-linked math learning using the app in schools. Our study found that the hybrid app, 'Creating the Best Box that Thinks of the Earth', was suitable for promoting collective fluency and collective sophistication based on complementary-metacognitive interaction.

A design method for a propeller type rim-driven axial-flow turbine for a micro-hydropower system is presented. The turbine consists of pre-stator, impeller and post-stator, where the pre-stator plays a role as a guide vane to provide circumferential velocity to the on-coming flow, and the impeller as a rotational power generator by absorbing angular momentum of the flow. BEM(Blade Element Method), which is based on the turbine Euler equation, is employed to design the pre-stator and impeller blades. NACA 66 thickness form and a=0.8 mean camber line, which is widely accepted as a marine propeller blade section, is used for the pre-stator and turbine blade section. A CFD method, derived from the discretization of the RANS equations, is applied for the analysis of the designed turbine system. The design conditions of the turbine is confirmed by the CFD calculation. Turbine characteristic curve is calculated by the CFD method, in order to provide the performance characteristics at off-design operation conditions. The proposed procedures for the design of a propeller type rim-driven axial-flow turbine are established and confirmed by the CFD analysis.
