This paper proposed a new concept of information space called Smart Floor. Smart Floor is an intelligent space where a mobile robot can read and write specific information through Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags which are mounted on Smart Floor to drive its goal position. RFID tag packaging technology is described for building Smart Floor. Also a mobile robot equipped passive RFID System with ultra high frequency (UHF) bandwidth has developed. The information that consists of an absolute position in the Smart Floor and desired direction saved on RFID tags is a simulated Q-value based on Q-learning algorithm. Proposed Smart Floor will be a proper method to communicate between space and robot.

In the era of globalization and unlimited competition, Korean universities need a breakthrough in their education system according to the changing education landscape, such as lower graduation requirements to cultivate more multi-talented convergence leaders. While each student has different learning capabilities, which results in different performance and achievements in the same class, the uniform education that most universities are currently offering fails to accommodate such differences. Blended learning, synergically combining offline and online classes, enlarges learning space and enriches learning experiences through diversified tools and materials, including multimedia. Recently, universities are increasingly adopting video contents and on-offline convergence learning strategy. Thus, this study suggests a teaching method based on blended learning to more effectively teach existing pattern CAD and virtual CAD in the Apparel Pattern CAD class. To this end, this researcher developed a teaching-learning method and curriculum according to the blended learning phase and video-based contents. The curriculum consisted of 2D CAD (SuperAlpha: Plus) and 3D CAD (CLO) software learning for 15 weeks. Then, it was loaded to the Learning Management System (LMS) and operated for 15 weeks both online and offline. The performance analysis of LMS usage found that class materials, among online postings, were viewed the most. The discussion menu most accurately depicted students' participation, and students who did not participate in discussions were estimated to check postings less than participating students. A survey on the blended learning found that students prefer digital or more digitized classes, while preferring face to face for Q&As.

In multi-agent systems, How to coordinate the behaviors of the agents through learning is a very important problem. The most important problems in the multi-agent system are to accomplish a goal through the efficient coordination of several agents and to prevent collision with other agents. In this paper, we propose a novel approach by using hybrid learning strategy. It is used hybrid learning strategy to control the multi-agent system efficiently by using the spatial relationship among the agents. Through experiments, we can see approximate faster the goal then other strategies and avoids collision among the agents.

Human-robot cooperative tasks are increasingly required in our daily life with the development of robotics and artificial intelligence technology. Interactive reinforcement learning strategies suggest that robots learn task by receiving feedback from an experienced human trainer during a training process. However, most of the previous studies on Interactive reinforcement learning have required an extra feedback input device such as a mouse or keyboard in addition to robot itself, and the scenario where a robot can interactively learn a task with human have been also limited to virtual environment. To solve these limitations, this paper studies training strategies of robot that learn table balancing tasks interactively using deep reinforcement learning with human's facial expression feedback. In the proposed system, the robot learns a cooperative table balancing task using Deep Q-Network (DQN), which is a deep reinforcement learning technique, with human facial emotion expression feedback. As a result of the experiment, the proposed system achieved a high optimal policy convergence rate of up to 83.3% in training and successful assumption rate of up to 91.6% in testing, showing improved performance compared to the model without human facial expression feedback.

Chloride is one of the most common threats to reinforced concrete (RC) durability. Alkaline environment of concrete makes a passive layer on the surface of reinforcement bars that prevents the bar from corrosion. However, when the chloride concentration amount at the reinforcement bar reaches a certain level, deterioration of the passive protection layer occurs, causing corrosion and ultimately reducing the structure's safety and durability. Therefore, understanding the chloride diffusion and its prediction are important to evaluate the safety and durability of RC structure. In this study, the chloride diffusion coefficient is predicted by machine learning techniques. Various machine learning techniques such as multiple linear regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, artificial neural networks, extreme gradient boosting annd k-nearest neighbor were used and accuracy of there models were compared. In order to evaluate the accuracy, root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of determination (R2) were used as prediction performance indices. The k-fold cross-validation procedure was used to estimate the performance of machine learning models when making predictions on data not used during training. Grid search was applied to hyperparameter optimization. It has been shown from numerical simulation that ensemble learning methods such as random forest and extreme gradient boosting successfully predicted the chloride diffusion coefficient and artificial neural networks also provided accurate result.

Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) and Home Centralized Photovoltaic (HCPV) systems can address various energy storage issues and enhance demand response programs. Renewable energy, such as solar energy and wind turbines, address the energy gap. However, no energy management system is currently available to regulate the uncertainty of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, and appliance consumption within a smart microgrid. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, electric vehicles, and Micro-Grid (MG) storage on maximum solar radiation hours. Several Deep Learning (DL) algorithms were applied to account for the uncertainty. Moreover, a Reinforcement Learning HCPV (RL-HCPV) algorithm was created for efficient real-time energy scheduling decisions. The proposed algorithm managed the energy demand between PV solar energy generation and vehicle energy storage. RL-HCPV was modeled according to several constraints to meet household electricity demands in sunny and cloudy weather. Simulations demonstrated how the proposed RL-HCPV system could efficiently handle the demand response and how V2H can help to smooth the appliance load profile and reduce power consumption costs with sustainable power generation. The results demonstrated the advantages of utilizing RL and V2H as potential storage technology for smart buildings.

오랜 세월동안 위대한 이동수단을 만들어내고자 하는 인간의 끓은 오늘날 눈부신 각종 운송기구를 만들어 내는 결실을 얻고 있다. 자동차 네비게이션 시스템도 그러한 결실중의 한 예라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 지능적으로 판단하고 정보를 처리할 수 있는 자동차 네비게이션 시스템을 부착함으로써 한단계 발전한 운송수단으로 진화할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 자동차 네비게이션 시스템의 단점이라면 한정된 리 소스만으로 여러 가지 작업을 수행해야만 하는 어려움이다. 그래서 네비게이션 시스템의 주요 작업중의 하나인 경로를 추출하는 경로추출(Route Planing) 작업은 한정된 리 소스에서도 최적의 경로를 찾을 수 있는 지능적인 방법이어야만 한다. 이러한 경로를 추출하는 작업을 하는 데 기존에 일반적으로 쓰였던 두 가지 방법에는 Dijkstra's algorithm과 A* algorithm이 있다. 이 두 방법은 최적의 경로를 찾아 낸다는 점은 있지만 경로를 찾기 위해서 알고리즘의 특성상 각각, 넓은 영역에 대하여 탐색작업을 해야하고 또한 수행시간이 많이 걸린다는 단점과 또한 경로를 계산하기 위해서 Heuristic function을 추가적인 정보로 계산을 해야 한다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 적은 탐색 영역을 가지면서 또한 최적의 경로를 추출하는 데 드는 수행시간은 작으며 나아가 동적인 교통환경에서도 최적의 경로를 추출할 수 있는 최적 경로 추출방법을 강화학습의 일종인 Q- Learning을 이용하여 구현해 보고자 한다.

For mechanical load testing of wind turbines, capture matrix is constructed for various range of wind speeds according to the international standard IEC 61400-13. The conventional method wastes considerable amount of data by its invalid data policy -segment data into 10 minutes then remove invalid ones. Previously, we have suggested an alternative way to save the total amount of data to build a capture matrix, but the efficient selection of data has been still under question. The paper introduces optimization algorithms to construct capture matrix with less data. Heuristic algorithm (simple stacking and lowest frequency first), population method (particle swarm optimization) and Q-Learning accompanied with epsilon-greedy exploration are compared. All algorithms show better performance than the conventional way, where the distribution of enhancement was quite diverse. Among the algorithms, the best performance was achieved by heuristic method (lowest frequency first), and similarly by particle swarm optimization: Approximately 28% of data reduction in average and more than 40% in maximum. On the other hand, unexpectedly, the worst performance was achieved by Q-Learning, which was a promising candidate at the beginning. This study is helpful for not only wind turbine evaluation particularly the viewpoint of cost, but also understanding nature of wind speed data.

This paper presents a robotic agent design and application in the ubiquitous intelligent space. We set up an experimental environment with Bluetooth host, Bluetooth client, furniture and home appliance, and robotic agents. First, the agents basically performed patrol guard to detect unexpected penetration, and to keep home safely from gas-leakage, electric leakage, and so on. They were out to patrol fur a robbery while navigating in a living room and a private room. In this task, we used an area-based action making and a hexagon-based Q-learning to control the agents. Second, the agents communicate with Bluetooth host device to access and control a home appliance. The Bluetooth host offers a manual control to person by inquiring a client robot when one would like to check some place especially. In this exercise, we organize asynchronous connection less (ACL) between the host and the client robots and control the robot maneuver by Bluetooth host controller interface (HCI).
