This article prospects the patterns of technological innovation in the steel industry and suggests the directions of technological innovation in Korean steel industry. Technological innovation patterns can be analysed through technological trends, innovation-inducing mechanism, and innovators' relationships. In the technological trends, direct coupling of manufacturing processes, lasting growth of mini-mill, and the importance of technological integration are prospected. In the innovation-inducing mechanism, while production system will be specialized, the development of new steel materials and environment-friendly technological innovation will be accelerated. In the innovators' relationships, steel industry faces more complex competition and new forms of inter-firm cooperation including M&A, joint venture, and joint R&D. In order to cope with such changes in the technological innovation patterns, Korean steel industry need to establish core competence based on technological innovation through a great leap in R&D investment, the production of high value-added products, the development of new generation steel technologies, strategic joint R&D, comprehensive technological cooperation, and government's active support.

In many technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an important topic for areas based on the field of big data. However, applied AI cases and the research status of radio wave technology are not widely known to the public. The spread of AI to other areas is being followed by radio wave technologies, and much effort is being taken to evolve it into intelligent radio wave technologies in the future. This paper presents the recent areas of interest in radio wave technology, such as spectral sharing, illegal spectrum monitoring, radar detection, radio wave medical imaging, and channel modeling; examines the requirements for applying AI; and describes the applied cases, research trends, and standardization efforts that apply AI technology to them. On this basis, we will discuss the prospects of AI application to the expected radio wave technology of the future.

This report introduces a definition for robot task intelligence and explains the basis of the challenges associated with implementing robot task intelligence in real-world problems. Two fundamental elements of this intelligence, robot manipulation and navigation, are introduced herein. We describe the existing trends and industrial applications of the robot task intelligence in logistics and agricultural automation. Furthermore, as an underpinning technology for this intelligence, we review the existing three-dimensional position estimation techniques and summarize the difficulties associated with applying pure SLAM technology to real-world applications. Finally, we discuss the prospects of the robot task intelligence research and its potential for solving real-world problems.

Web 3.0 is a new web paradigm that aims to overcome the excessive commercialism and influence of big tech companies. Web 3.0 can be defined as a user-centered decentralized Internet environment, and Web 3.0 is a mixture of various terms and technologies such as blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFT, artificial intelligence, and metaverse. When new technology fields emerge, it is common to have positive and negative evaluations. As a result, rather than deciding which position is correct, it is necessary to investigate the causes and directions of change and prepare to seize the opportunity. In light of this, the present study examines the change in the web paradigm and the context of the emergence of Web 3.0, investigates the characteristics and major cases of Web 3.0, and discusses future issues and prospects.

PURPOSE: This study examined the status and prospects of telerehabilitation to identify the challenges and propose strategies for its promotion both domestically and internationally. The study also focused on the preconditions and improvements required for adopting telerehabilitation, considering technological, institutional, and socio-cultural factors. METHODS: A thorough database search was conducted. The relevant research, papers, and reports were collected, and the literature was evaluated to summarize the findings. RESULTS: Tele-rehabilitation showed promise in enhancing the healthcare service quality and accessibility. However, addressing challenges requires a comprehensive analysis of its status, global research trends, and the formulation of adoption strategies. Research in this direction is expected to improve healthcare services. CONCLUSION: Tele-rehabilitation can enhance healthcare services by overcoming geographical limitations. On the other hand, addressing challenges through analysis and strategic planning is essential for its effective adoption and advancing healthcare quality and accessibility.

With the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), a computing paradigm shift from cloud to edge computing is rapidly taking place to effectively manage the rapidly increasing volume of data generated by various IoT devices. Edge computing is computing that occurs at or near the physical location of a user or data source. Placing computing services closer to these locations allows users to benefit from faster and more reliable services, and enterprises can take advantage of the flexibility of hybrid cloud computing. This paper describes the concept and main benefits of edge computing and presents the trends and future prospects for edge computing technology.

The recent explosion in the number of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites launched to space allows to easily anticipate that the number of satellites in orbit will sustain a dramatic increase. As satellite components are integrated and unified with terrestrial cellular networks, they will play a key role in providing coverage and resilience for future cellular networks. We provide a brief overview of typical scenarios and network architectures for cellular-based LEO satellite communication systems. In addition, we outline 3GPP standardization trends in non-terrestrial networks and satellite access based on 5G/5G Advanced systems and analyze future evolution prospects of cellular-based satellite communication systems.

This paper is to introduce distinctive trends in Agrometeorological Information(AgMI) these days, as well as newly emerging technologies from advanced sciences that are promising to enhance production and dissemination of AgMI in the future. The basic concept and important characteristics of AgMI were described either in general or in technical terms. Then AgMI was rather arbitrarily classified here into several groups, simply to show the diversity of AgMI resources available and technologies employed. The production, management, dissemination and communication of AgMI are envisaged to some extent together with the introduction of current status of AgMI production in Korea. Finally a couple of personal prospects on AgMI for agricultural applications are listed in terms of applicable subjects in Agricultural activities, current practicing cases in Korea and future perspectives for sustainable agriculture.
