  • A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.

  • 최근, 기업 및 공공기관에서는 고객 상담과 응대 분야에 챗봇(Chatbot)서비스를 적극적으로 도입하고 있다. 챗봇 서비스의 도입은 기업이나 기관에게 있어서 인건비 절감 효과를 가져올 뿐만 아니라 고객과의 빠른 커뮤니케이션 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 데이터 분석 기술의 발전과 인공지능 기술의 고도화는 이런 챗봇 서비스의 성장을 견인하고 있다. 하지만 기술중심으로 개발된 챗봇은 사용자가 내재적으로 원하는 바와 괴리가 있을 수 있으므로, 챗봇이 단순히 기술의 영역이 아닌 사용자 경험의 영역에서 다루어질 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 사용자 경험 분야의 대표적 방법론인 디자인 사고 접근법을 챗봇 개발에 적용하여, 사용자 니즈 기반의 챗봇 개발 프로세스를 제안하고자 한다. 사용자 관찰을 통해 팩트(Fact) 수집을 시작으로, 인사이트(Insight)를 도출하고 기회영역(Opportunity)을 발굴하는 추상화의 과정을 수행한다. 이어서 사용자의 멘탈모델에 맞는 기능을 제공하고 원하는 정보를 구조화하는 구체화의 과정을 통해, 사용자의 니즈에 부합하는 챗봇을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 본 연구에서는 제안한 프로세스의 실효성을 확인하기 위하여 국내 화장품 시장을 대상으로 실제 구축 사례를 함께 제시한다. 본 연구는 챗봇 개발 프로세스에 사용자 경험을 접목한 점에서 이론적 시사점을 가지며, 기업이나 기관이 바로 적용 가능한 현실적인 방법을 제안한다는 면에서 실무적 시사점을 가진다.
