Recently, countries are pursuing vigorous research, development and commercialization in cooperation with industry, academia and researcher to take the lead in building a smart manufacturing system that is at the center of the fourth industrial revolution. According to a research report [4], the competitiveness of Korea in the area of basic technology, hardware, and software of the smart factory is reported to be less than 70% of the developed countries. In this study, we reviewed the existing research literature and analyzed the current status of smart manufacturing technology and major issues in the manufacturing industry. We tried to provide ideas for collaboration with core technology researchers and companies with business processes. Internet of Things, CPS and robot technologies have been the most active in smart manufacturing area. It can be seen that cooperation between researchers and industries in the early stage is being done through the case of industry application of each core technology.

This paper analyze the DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) efficiency of government budget to HRD program(ITRC) and correlation and regression between its inputs and outputs in the field of information technology. First, empirical results show that the relationship between the supporting period of government budget and scientific research & HRD outputs is respectively irrelevant. Second, another finding is that the relationship between government budget and HRD output is positive. Finally, DEA efficiency analysis implicates that SW/digital contents, digital TV, information security, intelligence robot, next generation PC, next generation mobile telecommunication, home network, mathematics, IT SoC are more efficient than any other technology fields.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of customer's innovation and usefulness on the use intention of Service Robots by potential customers. Based on Davis(1989)'s Technology Acceptance Model, this study formulated three hypotheses, which were about relationships between customer's innovation, usefulness, and use intention of Service Robots. For this study, structured questionnaires were used and data were collected from the 171 people in Seoul and Cheonan. To test three hypotheses, collected data were analyzed using hierarchical regression technique. The results showed that customer's innovation has no influence on usefulness, whereas customer's innovation and usefulness have effects on use intention.

In the case of robot and Argument Reality applications using a camera in environments, a technology to estimate planes is a very important technology. A RGB-D camera can get a three-dimensional measurement data even in a flat which has no information of the texture of the plane;, however, there is an enormous amount of computation in order to process the point-cloud data of the image. Furthermore, it could not know the number of planes that are currently observed as an advance, also, there is an additional operation required to estimate a three dimensional plane. In this paper, we proposed the real-time method that decides the number of planes automatically and estimates the three dimensional plane by using the continuous data of an RGB-D camera. As experimental results, the proposed method showed an improvement of approximately 22 times faster speed compared to processing the entire data.

Location positioning systems are available in applications such as mobile, robotic tracking systems and Wireless location-based service (LBS) applications. The GPS system is the most well-known location tracking system, but it is not easy to use indoors. The method of radio frequency identification (RFID) location tracking was studied in terms of cost-effectiveness for indoor location tracking systems. Most RFID systems use active RFID tags using expendable batteries, but in this paper, an inexpensive indoor location tracking system using passive RFID tags has been developed. A pattern matching method and a system for tracing location by generating regression curves were studied to use precision tracking algorithms. The system was tested by verifying the level of error caused by noise. The three-dimensional curves are produced by the regression equation estimated the statistically meaningful coordinates by the differential equation. The proposed system could also be applied to mobile robot systems, AGVs and mobile phone LBSs.

This study was conducted to determine the major patent and analyze the patent trend of unmanned and automated agricultural production for the open field operation. As a result of conducting a search for patent applications related to these technologies, 1,080 valid patents were selected by evaluating the relevance of the patents and removing noise patents. As a result of the country-based analysis using the selected valid patents, it was found out that the largest number of patent applications were filed in the United States with 541 cases, followed by Japan with 326 cases, the European Union with 128 cases, and Korea with 85 cases. Upon classifying the valid patents into core technology, the path generation and tracking technology accounts for 33% with 353 cases; the implementing control with environmental condition technology accounts for 22% with 236 cases; the robot design technology accounts for 21% with 228 cases; the plant and environment sensing technology accounts for 19% with 206 cases; the yield and quality monitoring technology accounts for 5% with 58 cases. Finally, 10 core patents were selected by performing a patent index evaluation. The United States registered all of the 10 core patents. The results showed that Korea falls behind in the open field-related unmanned and automated agricultural production, compared to other developed agricultural countries.

Electroencephalography (EEG), a representative method of identifying temporal and spatial changes in brain activity, is a voluntary electrical activity measurable in the human scalp. Various interface technologies have been provided to control EEG activity, and it is possible to operate a machine such as a wheelchair or a robot through brainwaves. The characteristics of EEG data are collected in various types of channels in real time, and a server system for analyzing them is required to have an independent and lightweight system for the platform. In these days, the Spring platform is used as a large business server as an independent, lightweight server system. In this paper, we propose an EEG analysis system using the Spring server system. Using the proposed system, the reliability of EEG control can be enhanced, and analysis and control interface expansion can be provided in various aspects such as game and medical areas.

In recent years, the mobile OS market, enlargement and, at the same time, Android has mounted various smart phones and feature air conditioning, smart TV, cleaning robot, camera, etc. that the number is being spread at a rapid pace. But a lot of devices to control the modules and applications at once, this is not a device for controlling the dissemination of applications all in one place, and in charge of the devices that allow you to manage applications are lacking. Accordingly, in this paper, use the Web Server registered in the appliance can be controlled by management, Web access, is proposing and designing the system. This is the current research is actively in progress in the field of IoT (Internet of Things) would be utilized.
