In this paper, a closed hydroponics device was designed and fabricated to grow and harvest plants in a small space for safe consumption, which enables horticultural activities that are difficult to perform due to space constraints from urbanization. This device also aimed to minimize the air pollution of crops. To obtain data for the optimal growth conditions for crops in this intelligent plant-growing system, sensors were used to measure and control the growth conditions. To investigate the optimal growth conditions, blue lettuce and crown daisy were selected as representative crops. The growth rates were comparatively analyzed through four experiments for each plant. This hydroponics device was used to collect data on growth rates that are altered depending on cultivation conditions, which can then be used to study methods to control the growth rate of crops.

An automated machining system involves concurrent use of manufacturing resources, alternative process plans, and flexible routings. High investment in the installation of automated facilities requires an efficient scheduling system that is able to allocate the resources specified for operations over a scheduling horizon. The primary emphasis of this paper is to generate schedules that accurately reflect details of the automated environment and the objectives stated for the system. In this paper, a scheduling algorithm for automated machining is presented. Using the previous simulation research for this topic, a rule-based scheduling system is constructed. An architecture for an intelligent scheduling system is proposed, and the system has a high potential to provide efficient schedules based on the task-specific knowledge for the dynamic scheduling environment

Tongue diagnosis is one of the most important diagnostic methods in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Tongue image segmentation aims to extract the image object (i.e., tongue body), which plays a key role in the process of manufacturing an automated tongue diagnosis system. It is still challenging, because there exists the personal diversity in tongue appearances such as size, shape, and color. This paper proposes an innovative segmentation method that uses image thresholding, gray projection and active contour model (ACM). Specifically, an initial object region is first extracted by performing image thresholding in HSI (i.e., Hue Saturation Intensity) color space, and subsequent morphological operations. Then, a gray projection technique is used to determine the upper bound of the tongue body root for refining the initial object region. Finally, the contour of the refined object region is smoothed by ACM. Experimental results on a dataset composed of 100 color tongue images showed that the proposed method obtained more accurate segmentation results than other available state-of-the-art methods.

Recently, the requirement of automation in the cell production system is increasing due to a decrease of skilled workers who are the key point of a cell production system. This paper proposes a dual-arm robot designed and implemented with consideration of being applied to a cell production line of cellular phone. A specification was derived from the analysis of production process and the consideration of configuration for human-robot cooperation. Design and implementation results of the proposed dual-arm robot were suggested and the feasibility was verified through the demonstration of the proposed robot in some of packaging job of cellular phone.

This paper describes the development of a prototype hexapod robot with six circular legs to overcome a variety of challenging terrains. The legs of the robot are very important for stability during walking, which are analyzed for determining the optimal design parameters through CAE tools. Its control system consists of three types of sensors, microprocessors, and communication modules for PC interface. The entire operation of the robot can be controlled and monitored using a PC. The experimental operations for three different roads verified the feasibility of the prototype robot for carrying out reconnaissance on multi terrain. In the near future, the prototype robot can be used for a military purpose of detecting and informing a potential risk in advance.

스마트공장의 디지털 트윈에 대한 도입은 이미 CPS(Cyber Physics System)을 통하여 제조산업에 생산성을 높이고자 제안되었던 개념으로 특정한 산업 공정의 단계에 적용되거나 시뮬레이션이 필요한 단계에서 부분적으로 도입되고 있었다. 그러나 최근 4차산업혁명기술 발전을 통해서 XR(Extended Reality) 기술과 함께 다시 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만 실효성 있는 사례가 많지 않기 때문에 본 연구에서는 제조공정을 장치와 장비 그리고 기술을 분석하여 디지털 쓰레드를 적용한 디지털 트윈을 구축하였고 신호와 정보의 동기화하며 이를 통해서 지능형 공정자동화 장비의 관제와 원격제어와 생산정보의 분석이 가능할 수 있는 플랫폼을 제안하고 이를 개발하였다. 이로써 기존에 제조업에서 활용되어지고 있는 자동화 설비공정 및 장비들에 대한 고장 발생 시 원활한 대처의 어려움과 정확한 고장 발생지점에 대한 확인의 어려움, 그리고 생산설비장비의 고장시점 관리의 어려움, 불량에 대한 원인 및 문제 분석과 대처의 어려움을 해결하는데 도움을 줄 수 있는 제안 내용을 다루었다. 향후 본 연구를 통해서 많은 사례들의 선행 연구에 도움이 되길 기대하고 향후에는 지능형 모델을 통해서 공정 및 생산의 부분별 생산성 증가에 대한 확장 연구가 필요하다.

In manufacturing industry, cutting parameters have an influence on reducing the production cost and time and deciding the quality of a final product However, owing to governmental regulations and the change of owner's cognizance, the machining safety becomes important in those fields relatively. The paper presents an intelligent operation planning system considering machining safety for milling operations. The main issue of the system is to determine the cutting parameters in achieving a balanced consideration of productivity and worker's safety. The detailed algorithm and functions of the developed system is introduced and then discussed.
