로봇은 주변 상황을 인지하고 Task를 부여받는 software oriented 형상으로 발전하고 있다. Cloud Robotics Platform은 로봇에 Service Oriented Architecture 형상을 지원하기 위한 방법으로, 상황에 따라 필요한 Task와 Motion Controller를 클라우드 기반으로 제공할 수 있는 방안이다. 휴머노이드 로봇으로 진화할수록 로봇은 로봇 3대 원칙에 따라 보편화된 일상생활 속에서 인간에게 도움을 주기 위해 사용될 것이다. 따라서 특정 개인만을 위한 로봇 이외에도, 상황에 따라 모든 인간에게 도움을 줄 수 있는 공공재로써의 로봇이 보편화될 것이다. 따라서, 생성하는 정보는 사람, 로봇, 로봇에 지능을 부여하는 클라우드 상의 서비스 애플리케이션, 로봇과 클라우드를 이어주는 클라우드 브릿지로 구성될 것으로 분석되는 Cloud Robotics Computing 환경에서 정보보안의 중요성은 인간의 생명 및 안전을 위해 필수불가결한 요소로 자리잡게 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 지능화된 로봇을 위한 Cloud Robotics Computing 환경에서 사람, 로봇, 클라우드 브릿지, 클라우드 시스템간 통신 시 보안을 제공하여 해킹으로부터 안전하고 개인의 정보가 보호되는 로봇 서비스가 가능할 수 있는 Security Scheme을 제안한다.

In recent years, motivated by the emergence of ubiquitous computing technologies, a new class of networked robots, ubiquitous robots, has been introduced. The Ubiquitous Robotic Companion (URC) is our conceptual vision of ubiquitous service robots that provide users with the services they need, anytime and anywhere in ubiquitous computing environments. To realize the vision of URC, one of the essential requirements for robotic systems is to support ubiquity of services: that is, a robot service must be always available even though there are changes in the service environments. Specifically robotic systems need to be automatically interoperable with sensors and devices in current service environments, rather than statically preprogrammed for them. In this paper, the design and implementation of a semantic-based ubiquitous robotic space (SemanticURS) is presented. SemanticURS enables automated integration of networked robots into ubiquitous computing environments exploiting Semantic Web Services and AI-based planning technologies.

We implemented a real-time cloud robotics application by offloading robot navigation engine over to 5G Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) sever. We also ran a fleet management system (FMS) in the server and controlled the movements of multiple robots at the same time. The mobile robots under the test were connected to the server through 5G SA network. Public 5G network, which is already commercialized, has been temporarily modified to support this validation by the network operator. Robot engines are containerized based on micro-service architecture and have been deployed using Kubernetes - a container orchestration tool. We successfully demonstrated that mobile robots are able to avoid obstacles in real-time when the engines are remotely running in 5G MEC server. Test results are compared with 5G Public Cloud and 4G (LTE) Public Cloud as well.

This paper is to establish an appropriate model for predicting the temperature decreases in the batch transferred from the refining process to the caster in steel-making companies. Mathematical modeling of the temperature decreases between the processes is difficult, since the reaction mechanism by which the temperature changes in a molten steel batch is dynamic, uncertain and complex. Three soft computing techniques are examined using the same data, namely the multiple regression, fuzzy regression, and neural net (NN) models. To compare the accuracy of these three models, a limited number of input variables are selected from those variables significantly affecting the temperature decrease. The results show that the difference in accuracy between the three models is not statistically significant. Nonetheless, the NN model is recommended because of its adaptive ability and robustness. The method presented in this paper allows the temperature decrease to be predicted without requiring any precise metallurgical knowledge.

In this study, the strap down INS on an earth satellite launch vehicle is simulated with different computing cycles between processing the IMU signals and the navigation computation. At the time of separation of booster, error are discussed. The acceptable computing cycles can be determined by simulation.

This study presents an ultrasonic location awareness system for the ubiquitous computing with absolute position. The flight time of ultrasonic waves is determined by a period detecting technique which is able to extend the sensing range compared with traditional methods. For location awareness, ultrasonic waves are sent successively from each ultrasonic transmitter and synchronized by radio frequency (RF) signal, where the transmitting part is fixed and the receiving part is movable. To expand the recognizing range, cell matching technique and coded ultrasonic technique are introduced. The experimentation for various distances is accomplished to verify the used period detecting technique of U-SAT system. The positioning accuracy by using cell matching is also verified by finding the locations of settled points and the usability of coded ultrasonic technique is verified. As a result, the possibility of ultrasonic location awareness system for the ubiquitous computing can be discussed as a pseudo-satellite system with low cost, a high update rate, and relatively high precision, in the places where CPS is not available.

The paper discusses the problem of computing coarser observation functions in supervisory control of discrete event systems. It is shown that when a supervisor that realizes a given language L has certain properties, L-realizability of a coarser observation function is equivalent to control-compatibility of the states in some subsets of the state space of the supervisor. This characterization is then used to devise an iterative procedure of computing coarser L-realizable observation functions, where supervisor reduction and L-realizability verification of an observation function are performed at each iteration.

For the pervasive computing in ubiquitous environment, it is very important to manage the context model to provide pertinent context knowledge to context-aware applications. The context model should be able to support efficiently the context knowledge reusing and sharing as well as reasoning. Previous works focus mainly on the context knowledge representation scheme for reasoning. This paper proposes a context knowledge modeling scheme especially for reusing and sharing. This scheme provides well-established principles and guides for 1) context knowledge modularization and hierarchization, and for 2) context knowledge identification and organization. Once the context models are built according to the scheme, the structure of the context model and the meanings of the context knowledge elements become clear and consistent, so that context-aware applications can share and reuse the context knowledge in easy and error-reduced manner. This paper also discusses the implementation of a context model and an application for Presentation Helper scenario running on a software middleware system (CAMUS) for ubiquitous service robots which is being developed by ETRI Korea.

In ubiquitous computing environments, users want to receive the robot services regardless of various physical status or devices such as time, place, various sensors, and high-performance servers. Thus, the ubiquitous service robots have to provide users with automated services according to situational information that they properly recognize. Beyond these problems, robot software has to establish a foundation to support the functions with the network infrastructure that are not able to be solved by a single independent resource. On the basis of a robot middleware that is capable of minimizing dependencies among hierarchy structures, the robot software also has to provide execution environment to control the flow of robot application services. In this paper, we propose a layered architecture to provide users with automated services through ubiquitous robots. The proposed architecture is based on CAWL (Context-Aware Workflow Language) and RSEL (Robot Services Execution Language). CAWL easily represents the flow of robot services from user application service levels, and RSEL is able to support the composition and reusability of robot services through abstraction of robot device services. In our experiments, we applied the proposed architecture to an example of "booth guide robot service".

우리 주위에 다양한 전시관, 쇼핑몰, 테마파크 등이 있으며 실제 전시하고 있는 전시물, 콘텐츠에 대한 관심도, 흥미도에 대한 분석은 설문 정도로만 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 설문은 주로 피설문자의 주관적인 기억에 의존하고 있어서 잘못된 통계 결과를 얻을 수 있는 문제가 있다. 따라서 방문객의 동선 추적과 수를 카운팅 하여 흥미가 떨어지는 전시 공간 파악이 가능하며 이를 통해 교체가 필요한 전시물에 대해 정량적 자료로 사용이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 기반의 인공지능 알고리즘을 이용하여 방문객을 인식하고, 인식된 방문객에 아이디를 할당하여 이를 지속적으로 추적하는 방식으로 동선을 파악한다. 이때 방문객이 카운팅 라인을 통과하게 되면 그 수를 카운팅 하고, 데이터는 서버에 전송하여 통합 관리할 수 있도록 시스템을 설계하였다.
