  • A real-time path planning of mobile robots is a broad topic, covering a large spectrum of different technologies and applications. Briefly a path planning is designated moving technique from current pose to desired pose. It is remarkably easy to handle for human, not for robot. It is difficult that a robot recognizes surround to get a current pose and to avoid an obstacles. In this paper covers kinematics, path planning for efficient movements of a mobile robot. Kinematics of mobile robot which is suggested in this paper is exploited to create reliable and suitable motions. In addition, Gradient method is a algorithm which can guarantee for real-time path planning.

  • There are a few alternatives to support the ‘Saeng-hwal-ji-do-sa’(Home Improvement Extention Specialist:community welfare specialist) ‘Family Welfare Specialist’(Ga-jeong-bok-ji-sa) are recommended to inhance the family life. Saeng-hwal-gwa-hak(human ecology) which is anticipated to lead the social empowerment and social movement applies to the community welfare. 1. Education program and data of Saeng-hwal-gwa-hak are to be based to community information welfare. 2. Community level workshop is to be practiced. 3. Education program and counseling are to be served in advance and the cure level. So research must be followed as community level and the result of it ought to be flown community welfare policy and administration.

  • This study aims at the examination of the characteristics of sectional design by Raumplan through the analysis of his 12 houses in which his architectural design concept is clearly showed. The analysis proceeded through 12 sectional drawings, because of Raumplan is originated from the spatial concept which is dividing spaces with various differences of horizontal level. Through this investigation, three characteristics of sectional design by Raumplan which is to present : 1) Free horizontal variation by different level 2) Spatial division by splitted wall 3) Horizontal & vertical refraction of viewpoint & movement These characteristic seems like to including his intention to put into the various human behaviour in residence, it can be spatial clue to solve existential experience of 'homelessness' which is one of the biggest problems of modern times.

  • These days, up-to-date humanoid robots are continuously developed. Among them, Qrio, Asimo[1,2] are famous for its unique walking technology and natural movement. These robots could show manufacturers' technological improvement and leave a good impression to the customer. In accordance with global trends, Samsung is also producing humanoid robot. The humanoid robot, however, could walk like a human compared to the industrial robot fixed in the factory. This feature could cause another dynamic effect while walking. In this paper, the robot's feet were examined to find out parameters that affect stability of the humanoid robot's feet. With the sensitivity analysis, the optimization procedure in design of experiments finds the most suitable performance of robot. Maximum deflection of the frame upon various cases was minimized, and rubber coefficients for shock absorption were optimized.

  • Biocides, or non-agricultural pesticides, are a broad class of chemical. They are including biological agents used to disinfect/sanitize, pesticides for non-agricultural use, wood preservatives, antifoulants, etc. Since the early 1980s, many adverse effects of biocides to human health and ecosystem have been found in the world. Especially, antifouling biocide like TBT caused serious toxic effects on the marine organisms. Therefore, OECD began to work on biocides in mid 1996 to help Member countries co-operate in the assessment and registration of these products. EU also announced the Biocidal Products Directive (BPD, 98/8/EC) in 1998 to harmonize regulatory approaches to allow EU countries to conduct evaluations of biocides more efficiently. Korea just start to consider of biocides regulation. Some biocides products are regulated, but not all the biocides which are using in Korea. Therefore, we need to make a appropriate regulation for the all biocides categories. In addition, there are necessary to develop risk assessment tools, to survey the use pattern and amount, to research on the ecosystem contamination by the biocides .

  • The changes of climate and earth environment caused by Global Warming has seriously occurred recently. For instance, the water in the Chad Lake in Africa has continuously disappeared and Tuvalu in the South Pacific is facing a serious natural disaster with that the entire country is sinking under the sea. These natural disasters become a serious risk threatening the existence of the human-race. Therefore, we needs a fundamental measure to prevent Global Warming. That is a natural phenomenon that makes the earth warmer by 6 types a greenhouse gas including $CO_2So$ we look for an answer from the 'Green Growth' movement.

  • This paper introduces an Augmented Reality system recognizing hand gestures and shows results of the evaluation. The system's user can interact with artificial objects and manipulate their position and motions simply by his hand gestures. Hand gesture recognition is based on Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG). Salient features of human hand appearance are detected by HOG blocks. Blocks of different sizes are tested to define the most suitable configuration. To select the most informative blocks for classification multiclass AdaBoostSVM algorithm is applied. Evaluated recognition rate of the algorithm is 94.0%.

  • The extraction of lip region is essential to Lip Reading, which is a field of image processing to get some meaningful information by the analysis of lip movement from human face image. Many conventional methods to extract lip region are proposed. One is getting the position of lip by using geometric face structure. The other discriminates lip and skin regions by using color information only. The former is more complex than the latter, however it can analyze black and white image also. The latter is very simple compared to the former, however it is very difficult to discriminate lip and skin regions because of close similarity between these two regions. And also, the accuracy is relatively low compared to the former. Conventional analysis of color coordinate systems are mostly based on specific extraction scheme for lip regions rather than coordinate system itself. In this paper, the method for selection of effective color coordinate system and chromaticity transformation to discriminate these two lip and skin region are proposed.

  • In this paper, we propose a real-time people tracking system with multiple CCD cameras for security inside the building. To achieve this goal, we present a method for 3D walking human tracking based on the IMPRESARIO framework incorporating cascaded classifiers into hypothesis evaluation. The efficiency of adaptive selection of cascaded classifiers has been also presented. The camera is mounted from the ceiling of the laboratory so that the image data of the passing people are fully overlapped. The implemented system recognizes people movement along various directions. To track people even when their images are partially overlapped, the proposed system estimates and tracks a bounding box enclosing each person in the tracking region. The approximated convex hull of each individual in the tracking area is obtained to provide more accurate tracking information. We have shown the improvement of reliability for likelihood calculation by using cascaded classifiers. Experimental results show that the proposed method can smoothly and effectively detect and track walking humans through environments such as dense forests.

  • This thesis is a study on the properties of new religious ritual dress in Korea to help understand new religions more completely. A new religion means 'Newly born religions'and it is an opposite conception of the existing religion. The new religions in Korea have been established, changed and become extinct beginning with 'Dong-Hak'movement by Choi Jea Woo in 1860. Sometimes they've caused social problems with their number increasing after the rapid industrialization in 1970's. There are about 350 new religions and 2,000,000 christians in Korea now. Some of theme are pseudo religions wearing the mask of religion and also there are great new religions that will contribute to our spiritual history. The latter shows the thoughtful properties of the union of religion, postnatal creation, nation's independence, and human's centralization. There are properties of pluralism, nation's independence, symbolism, and thoughts in a new religious ritul dress.
