This study introduces trends on silver care implemented with the fourth industrial revolution technology, and discusses the use of digital technology for elderly health and rehabilitation by reviewing relevant literature to examine and present directions for future digital-based silver care commercialization. First, health smart home, which is a smart residential service available through digital technology or IT technology that supports independent living in your home, is available. Second, there are technical services using artificial intelligence(AI) and robots. Robots based on advanced intelligence can serve as an assistant for the health and rehabilitation of senior citizens by supporting services that enable the daily lives of senior, checking their health conditions, and high-quality medical care. For the commercialization of these silver care systems, information and services appropriate to the current situation, such as the physical ability and health status of the elderly, should be provided, and it would be desirable to gradually expand the use of essential technology to reflect the needs of the elderly in use so that the digital alienated.

Artificial intelligence technology is widely used in industrial and smart home fields such as manufacturing robots, artificial intelligence speakers, and robot vacuum cleaners. In this paper, we designed and implemented a 1:1 chatbot system based on artificial intelligence for use in RCMS (Real-time Cash Management System). The RCMS chatbot implemented in this paper was constructed with a total of 210 query scenarios in nine areas, including research expenses and system usage, based on 13,500 questions and answers from existing online bulletin boards. The chatbot is expected to solve the problem of insufficient number of counselors and to increase user satisfaction by responding to the researcher's inquiries after working hours, and the recommendation service for the cost of use, which had the most inquiries from researchers, reduces the number of consultations. It is expected to improve the quality of answers to other counseling inquiries.

적응형 소프트웨어는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 핵심 분야로 홈 네트워크, 지능 로봇 등 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능하다. 하지만, 대부분의 연구가 적응형 소프트웨어의 요구사항이나 시나리오의 구체화를 위한 비전을 제시하거나, 응용 구현의 사례를 보임으로써 실현 가능성을 확인하는데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동적인 재구성이 가능한 규칙 기반으로 동작할 수 있기 때문에 진화가 가능하며, 상태에 기반하여 행위를 판단하는 RASC 프레임워크를 제안한다. 기존 서비스 조합의 개념을 실현하기 위해 중개자를 이용하였으며, 변이와 교차와 같은 유전 알고리즘 연산을 쉽게 적용할 수 있도록 RASC 도메인을 정의하였다. RASC 프레임워크는 블랙보드 아키텍처를 기반으로 규칙을 공유하며, 서비스와 서비스 조합체 모두 자극-반응 모델을 따르고 자기유사성을 가지는 일종의 복잡계를 구성한다.

첨단 기술의 발전과 함께 장애인 및 노약자의 삶의 질에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 사용자가 각종 시스템들을 보다 쉽게 제어할 수 있는 방법들이 많이 연구되고 있다. 그 중 하나로 정의된 손 움직임 동작을 인식하여 가전기기 혹은 환경 제어 시스템, 홈 로봇 등에 명령을 내리는 기술을 예로 들 수 있다. 하지만, 정의된 손 움직임이 일상생활에서 발생하는 동작과 비슷한 경우 오작동을 일으킬 가능성이 있으며, 이를 차단하기 위해 복잡한 동작을 명령어로 사용할 경우 사용자의 편의성을 떨어뜨린다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 비슷한 동작 중에서 특정 동작을 검출할 수 있는 퍼지 가비지 모델을 제안한다. 퍼지 가비지 모델이란 인식하고자 하는 특정 동작을 제외한 다른 유사 동작의 특성을 반영하여 구현한 퍼지 모델을 말한다. 따라서 사용자의 동작으로부터 특징 값을 구한 후 이를 특정 동작에 대한 퍼지 모델과 퍼지 가비지 모델에 각각 대입하여 얻은 결과를 비교해서 어떤 동작이 발생하였는지 결정한다. 또한 사용자의 행동 특성은 개인마다 다르게 나타나고 동일 사용자라 하더라도 경우에 따라 동작에 편차가 나타날 수 있기 때문에 특정 사용자에 대한 시스템의 적응이 필요하다. 이를 위해 다양한 경우를 고려하여 최적화된 값을 찾을 수 있는 진화 알고리즘을 이용하여 퍼지 모델 파라미터를 갱신하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 5명의 사용자로부터 명령 동작과 의미 없는 유사 동작의 데이터를 획득하여 실험 결과를 보인다.

There are 3,931,822 elderly who receives long-term care at home and 1,704,469 elderly who stay at long-term care facilities in those of 34,610,000 of +65 years old population in Japan; thus, the elderly people who need home care are 2.3 times more than facilities (2016).In the near future, the number of elderly people with a degree of daily life independence and dementia category II or more will increase to 4.7 million (12.8% of the elderly population). Therefore, the use of home-care robots is essential for the disaster evacuation of the overwhelming majority of those elderly who need home care and for of vitals checks to keep family, caregivers, and medical professionals informed to reduce the risk in chronic health conditions in welfare evacuation centers. This also helps to care for the caregivers who are caring for the elderly, and the introduction of home-robots to evacuation centers should receive prompt attention from our care-friendly society.

During several years, lots of industrial and individual products have been developed based on the text or graphic LCD module which has been gave the short developing period to the developer. With the advent of home networks and intelligent robots, the need for interaction between human and instruments has been increased. Recently, goods with a TFT-LCD come out. But in spite of a simple required performance, the complicated microprocessor, such as ARM processor, is required to interface the TFT-LCD and touch screen. Our research and development is to develope an embedded TFT-LCD module in order to use or apply to the goods through the simple interface by the general users as well as the developers. We adopt the RTOS(real time operating system) in order to operate TFT-LCD independently and various communication protocols are provided in order to offer the simple interface to users and developers.

Today's healthcare, intelligent robots, smart home systems, and car sharing are already innovating with cutting-edge information and communication technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things, the Internet of Intelligent Things, and Big data. It is deeply affecting our lives. In the factory, robots have been working for humans more than several decades (FA, OA), AI doctors are also working in hospitals (Dr. Watson), AI speakers (Giga Genie) and AI assistants (Siri, Bixby, Google Assistant) are working to improve Natural Language Process. Now, in order to understand AI, knowledge of mathematics becomes essential, not a choice. Thus, mathematicians have been given a role in explaining such mathematics that make these things possible behind AI. Therefore, the authors wrote a textbook 'Basic Mathematics for Artificial Intelligence' by arranging the mathematics concepts and tools needed to understand AI and machine learning in one or two semesters, and organized lectures for undergraduate and graduate students of various majors to explore careers in artificial intelligence. In this paper, we share our experience of conducting this class with the full contents in http://matrix.skku.ac.kr/math4ai/.

Most of product designers use 3D CAD system as a inevitable design tool nowadays and many new products are developed through a concurrent engineering process. However, it is very difficult for novice designers to get the sense of reality from modeling objects shown in the computer screens. Such a intangibility problem comes from the lack of haptic interactions and contextual information about the real space because designers tend to do 3D modeling works only in a virtual space of 3D CAD system. To address this problem, this research investigate the possibility of a interactive quantified structure simulation for product design using AR(augmented reality) which can register a 3D CAD modeling object on the real space. We built a quantified structure simulation system based on AR and conducted a series of experiments to measure how accurately human perceive and adjust the size of virtual objects under varied experimental conditions in the AR environment. The experiment participants adjusted a virtual cube to a reference real cube within 1.3% relative error(5.3% relative StDev). The results gave the strong evidence that the participants can perceive the size of a virtual object very accurately. Furthermore, we found that it is easier to perceive the size of a virtual object in the condition of presenting plenty of real reference objects than few reference objects, and using LCD panel than HMD. We tried to apply the simulation system to identify preference characteristics for the appearance design of a home-service robot as a case study which explores the potential application of the system. There were significant variances in participants' preferred characteristics about robot appearance and that was supposed to come from the lack of typicality of robot image. Then, several characteristic groups were segmented by duster analysis. On the other hand, it was interesting finding that participants have significantly different preference characteristics between robot with arm and armless robot and there was a very strong correlation between the height of robot and arm length as a human body.
