There are few representative humanoid robots including Japanese ASIMO from Honda and HUBO from KAIST. We cannot consider ASIMO and HUBO the perfect humanoid robots, however. The basic principles when developing humanoid robot is to make them to work in a similar way as human's movement of arm. In this paper, we proposed method of designing humanoid robotic arms based on the morphological.eurological analysis of human's arm tor robot's arm to work in a similar way as human's ann, and we also implemented arm movement control system to humanoids robot by using SERCOS communication.

These days, up-to-date humanoid robots are continuously developed. Among them, Qrio, Asimo[1,2] are famous for its unique walking technology and natural movement. These robots could show manufacturers' technological improvement and leave a good impression to the customer. In accordance with global trends, Samsung is also producing humanoid robot. The humanoid robot, however, could walk like a human compared to the industrial robot fixed in the factory. This feature could cause another dynamic effect while walking. In this paper, the robot's feet were examined to find out parameters that affect stability of the humanoid robot's feet. With the sensitivity analysis, the optimization procedure in design of experiments finds the most suitable performance of robot. Maximum deflection of the frame upon various cases was minimized, and rubber coefficients for shock absorption were optimized.

최근 일본에서 발표된 혼다의 ASIMO, 소니의 AIBO, SDR-3X, SDR-4X 등의 로봇에 힘입어 전 세계적으로 퍼스널 로봇의 연구개발이 활성화되고 있으며, 국내에서도 소규모 벤처 로봇 업체를 중심으로 이전의 산업용 로봇으로부터 퍼스널 로봇으로 개발방향을 선회하고 있는 실정이다. 이미 인터넷이나 신문매체를 통하여 접할 수 있는 구미의 실용적인 서비스 로봇기술과 함께, 마치 정말로 살아서 움직이는 듯한 동작을 표현하는 일본의 로봇기술은 개발하는 사람으로서도 절로 감탄을 자아내게 만든다. 이러한 로봇 및 제어기술에 대한 국내의 로봇 벤처기업의 반응은 이를 구현할 수 있는 일본의 산업인프라가 부럽다는 것이다. 즉 모터, 센서, 전지 등의 핵심부품만 받쳐준다면 해볼 만 하다는 것이다. 여기에는 여러 가지 메커니즘 및 핵심부품이 있으나 이 글에서는 산업자원부의 자금으로 수행하고 있는 퍼스널 로봇용 기반기술 과제를 중심으로 메커니즘 부분에는 모듈형 로봇 팔과 이동 메커니즘, 그리고 핵심부품부분에는 구동부품과 스테레오 시각센서에 관하여 소개하고자 한다.

A number of Humanoids are introduced including ASIMO, HRP-2 Promet, Johnniee, Babybot, and KHR-2. Most researches are focused on the development of stable biped walking of Humanoids and it is not easy to endow an Humanoid with intelligence and service technology until now in the sense that the operation time of a Humanoid is limited less than 30 minutes even in the case that the battery is used only for the control of actuators in a Humanoid. In this paper, a brief survey on Humanoids is proposed and the concept of 'Network-based Humanoid', a Humanoid being able to provide intelligence for human-friendly services using ubiquitous networks, is introduced briefly.

The information of works performed by labors can be used for analyzing project status related to schedule, cost and productivity, etc. The purpose of this research is to develop a computer-based system by the application of PDA and barcode technology in order to measue and monitor the amount of workforce resources, works done and productivity. It is anticipated that the effective use of the devepoped system would be able to effectively assist the schedule planning and management for present and prospective construction projects.

The Japanese 'H' motor company is the one of a few engine makers for F1 racing machine in the world. And it has a tradition and ability to make a humanoid walking robot 'Asimo'. But 'H' motor company is known as a motorcycle maker not a car in Korea. It wanted to reinforce the brand image and identity to Korean consumer. And it needed a powerful marketing tool for the brand image distinguished from other global motor companies. It demanded a stand design to show their powerful and unique identity for surpass other rivals in 2007 Seoul Motor Show. This stand for 'H' motor company in 2007 SMS has an area of 1,250m2 and located between huge domestic motor companies, K and SR. The design was planed to show its unique identity and image, overcoming its relatively small size. I designed a round-shape ceiling structures covered whole booth space for enclosure and vortical space sense. That made a strong brand image by light and sharp structures completely distinguished from other stands. And it has a main logo sign for recognizing the stand from a distance.

The purpose of this study is to examine the Americans' perception on Korean food by analyzing the articles of the New York Times which is the best quality newspaper in America. The number of articles of the New York Times on Korean food were 111 from 1980 to 2005. The average yearly articles was 1.3 form 1980 to 1989, 4.1 from 1990 to 1999, and 9.5 from 2000 to 2005. A large number of articles(54.1%) concerning Korean foods were restaurant reviews based on the experiences in dining at Korean restaurant in America. Main authors of restaurant reviews were Eric Asimo(14), Florence Fabricant(11), and Mark Bittman(8). The kinds of Korean foods reported in the New York Times were 111 which included staple food(21), subsidiary food(82) dessert(4) and Japanese Food(4). There were 15 recipes on Korean food reported in the New York Times including 3 items on Kimchi and 3 items on Bulgogi. The New York Times said Kimchi, Buigogi, Galbi, Pajeon, and Bibimbop were popular among Americans. The New York Times described Korean foods as exhilarating, robust, bold, rustic, healthful, incendiary, assertive, lusty, and exuberant. There were many favorable comments on Korean foods in the New York Times.
