In recent years, many robotics researches have been focused on developing human-friendly robots, that is, humanoid biped robots. The researches of humanoid robots include various areas such as hardware development, control of biped locomotion, artificial intelligence, human interaction, etc. The present work concerns the hardware development of a mid-size humanoid robot, BONOBO, focusing on rapid development of outer body parts with integrated application if CAD/CAM/CAE/RP. Most parts are three-dimensionally designed using 3D CAD, and effectively connected with CAE analyses using both kinematic simulation and structural analysis. In order to reduce lead time and investment cost for parts developments, Rapid Prototyping (RP) and CAM are selectively utilized for manufacturing body parts. These master parts are then replicated using the vacuum casting process, from which we can obtain plastic parts repeatedly. Through this integrated approach, the first prototype of BONOBO can be successfully developed with relatively low time and investment costs.

본 논문에서는 협조 작업하는 로봇 시스템의 제어에 이용되는 자율도를 조정하여 인간 작업자와 로봇 시스템이 효과적으로 역할을 분담하게 함으로써 전체 시스템의 작업 능력을 최대로 이끌어내는 방법을 제시한다. 인간 조작자와 로봇 시스템은 각기 다른 특성과 장점을 갖는데, 이 장점들을 체계적으로 결합하면 현재 기술로는 완전한 자동화가 어려운 작업의 영역에까지 로봇을 활용하여 효율을 극대화할 수 있다. 인간 조작자가 로봇이 처리하기 어려운 작업을 담당하거나 사전에 프로그램하기 어려운 돌발 상황에 대응하게 하면, 각종 센서나 자동화 프로그램을 단순화할 수 있으며, 작업의 속도와 안정성도 증가될 수 있다. 제시된 방법의 효율성을 정량적으로 검증하기 위한 시도로서, 세 개의 서로 다른 기능을 갖는 로봇이 공중에 매달린 긴 빔(beam)을 지지대에 결합하는 조립작업을 서로 다른 자율도 조건에서 반복적으로 수행하여 분석 결과를 도출한다.

In decommissioning a nuclear power plant, numerous concrete structures need to be demolished and decontaminated. Although concrete decontamination technologies have been developed globally, concrete cutting remains problematic due to the secondary waste production and dispersion risk from concrete scabbling. To minimize workers' radiation exposure and secondary waste in dismantling and decontaminating concrete structures, the following conceptual designs were developed. A micro-blast type scabbling technology using explosive materials and a multi-dimensional contamination measurement and artificial intelligence (AI) mapping technology capable of identifying the contamination status of concrete surfaces. Trials revealed that this technology has several merits, including nuclide identification of more than 5 nuclides, radioactivity measurement capability of 0.1-10⁷ Bq·g^-1, 1.5 kg robot weight for easy handling, 10 cm robot self-running capability, 100% detonator performance, decontamination factor (DF) of 100 and 8,000 cm²·hr^-1 decontamination speed, better than that of TWI (7,500 cm²·hr^-1). Hence, the micro-blast type scabbling technology is a suitable method for concrete decontamination. As the Korean explosives industry is well developed and robot and mapping systems are supported by government research and development, this scabbling technology can efficiently aid the Korean decommissioning industry.

In this study, tomato maturity was estimated based on deep learning for a harvesting robot. Tomato images were obtained using a RGB camera installed on a monitoring robot, which was developed previously, and the samples were cropped to 128 × 128 size images to generate a dataset for training the classification model. The classification model was constructed based on convolutional neural networks, and the mean-variance loss was used to learn implicitly the distribution of the data features by class. In the test stage, the tomato maturity was estimated as a continuous index, which has a range of 0 to 1, by calculating the expected class value. The results show that the F1-score of the classification was approximately 0.94, and the performance was similar to that of a deep learning-based classification task in the agriculture field. In addition, it was possible to estimate the distribution in each maturity stage. From the results, it was found that our approach can not only classify the discrete maturation stages of the tomatoes but also can estimate the continuous maturity.

As the need for switchover to FA and for rationalization increases in the industrial world, educational courses in schools are more and more taking up the subjects of electronic machines, mechatronics and systems, etc., subjects which are a fusion of the previous subjects of electricity, electronics and machines. At our junior college, a control engineering course was inaugurated in 1974 prior to any other schools that offered such courses. As automation progressed, the use of industrial robots spread rapidly. The year of 1980 is regarded as the first year that the use of industrial robots become widespread. Responding to the current requests, a one-year research course was added to the control engineering course in 1983. Moreover, a robot engineering course was newly established in 1984, in which mechatronics and industrial robotics were instructed intensively in high efficiency. As a teaching aid, an air robot system which was based particularly on the FMS model and possessed pattern recognition capabilities was completed in 1982. This system has been used since then as the nucleus for hands-on training with robots and systems. As more and more intelligent machines and artificial intelligence become widespread in industry, these subjects are taking on greater importance and greater sophistication in the education offered by this department. Educational institutions are seeking to provide facilities and curricula which will meet the technological needs of this age. Our college is not an institution at the graduate school level, but rather a school which is at the more practical junior college level. An outline of the facilities introduced at our school is presented and the results of utilizing it in industrial robot engineering education is reported.

로봇은 인간을 모방하여 외부환경을 인식하고 상황을 판단하며 자율적으로 동작하는 기계를 의미한다. 로봇은 제조용 로봇과 서비스용 로봇으로 구분하고 서비스용 로봇은 전문서비스용 로봇과 개인서비스용 로봇으로 분류된다. 최근 제조업의 생산성 경쟁 심화, 안전 이슈 부상, 저출산과 고령화 심화로 인해 로봇산업이 부상하고 있다. 최근 로봇산업은 첨단기술 분야의 복합체로 기술혁신성과 성장잠재력을 가지고 있기 때문에 각광받고 있는 산업분야이다. IT, BT 및 NT 관련 요소들이 융합되어 구현되는 기술로서 그 파급효과는 매우 커지고 있다. 사회구조와 생활패턴의 변화로 인해 생명 연장과 건강에 대한 사회적인 관심이 높아지고 있으며 의료관련 분야에 많은 관심이 모아지고 있다. 이제는 인공지능(AI) 산업이 급성장하고 있기 때문에 대 중소기업 협력 강화를 통한 글로벌 경쟁력을 확보하는 것이 우선 과제이다. 대기업의 장점인 R&D 투자능력과 마케팅 능력과 중소기업의 장점인 로봇 기술을 결합해야 하며 협력 모델 구축 및 M&A를 통해 글로벌 대기업과 경쟁력을 확보해야 한다.

본 논문은 3D프린터와 모터를 활용해 무게와 부피를 줄인 재활용 웨어러블 로봇 손의 설계 및 구현에 관한 연구이다. 재활용 웨어러블 로봇은 재활의 효과도 중요하지만, 사용의 간편성 또한 중요하다. 하지만 현재 연구 및 개발된 재활용 외골격 로봇은 부피와 무게가 무겁거나 제자리에서 사용해야 하는 것이 대부분이다. 따라서 착용에 용이하고 사용자에게 중량이 부담되지 않는 웨어러블 로봇이 필요하므로 경량화된 전동식 재활용 웨어러블 로봇 손을 제안하였다. 3D프린터를 사용하여 무게와 부피를 줄이고 착용에 용이하도록 설계를 진행하였다. 또한, 휴대성을 높이기 위해 공압 방식이 아닌 모터기반의 전동방식을 채택해 구조를 간단하게 구성하였다. 최종적으로 경량화된 전동식 재활용 웨어러블 로봇 손의 실험을 통해 제안한 방식의 효용성을 검토하였다.

동작인식(gesture recognition) 기술은 입력 영상으로부터 영상에 포함된 사람들의 동작을 인식하는 기술로써 영상감시(visual surveillance), 사람-컴퓨터 상호작용(human-computer interaction), 지능로봇(intelligence robot) 등 다양한 적용분야를 가진다. 특히 최근에는 저비용의 거리 센서(range sensor) 및 효율적인 3차원 자세 추정(3D pose estimation)기술의 등장으로 동작인식은 기존의 어려움들을 극복하고 다양한 산업분야에 적용이 가능할 정도로 발전을 거듭하고 있다. 본고에서는 그러한 거리영상(range image) 기반의 동작인식 기술에 대한 최신 연구동향을 살펴본다.

Future robots, especially service and personal robots, will need much more intelligence, robustness and user-friendliness. The ability to learn contributes to these characteristics and is, therefore, becoming more and more important. Three of the numerous varieties of learning are discussed together with results of real-world experiments with three autonomous robots: (1) the acquisition of map knowledge by a mobile robot, allowing it to navigate in a network of corridors, (2) the acquisition of motion control knowledge by a calibration-free manipulator, allowing it to gain task-related experience and improve its manipulation skills while it is working, and (3) the ability to learn how to perform service tasks ...
