In an upcoming ubiquitous era, humankind will live in a ubiquitous space, where everything is connected through communication network. In this ubiquitous space, a ubiquitous robot, which can be used by anyone for any service through any device and any network at anytime and anywhere in a u-space, is expected to be required to serve seamless and context-aware services to humankind. In this paper, we introduce the ubiquitous robot, and define three components of the ubiquitous robot. The first one is "SoBot" which can be connected through the network in anywhere with environment recognition function and communication ability with human. The second one is "EmBot" which is embedded into environments and mobile robots and has localization and certification function with sensor fusion. The last one is "Mobile Robot" which serves overall physical services. This paper also introduces KAIST ITRC-Intelligent Robot Research Center that pursues the implementation of the ubiquitous robot.

Ubiquitous Computing System (UCS) is a system where the user can get information through computer network anytime and anywhere regardless of the places. Since UCS is a personalized system, it should interact with other systems. UCS will bring a remarkable change in production, consumption, politics, economy, community, culture, and other areas related to our daily life. That is, a high-quality UCS results in high-quality services provided to users. Hence, this paper proposes a systematic quality model based on ISO/lEC 9126 in order to evaluate the ubiquitous computing system, based on ISO/lEC 9126. And, we identify key characteristics of UCS and derive the set of quality attributes based on identified characteristics. We define metrics for each quality attribute and Ubiquitous Computing Quality Model CUCQM) so that we can evaluate overall environment and important characteristics of UCS.

Recently, Location Based Service including tracking and way-finding services has been activated rapidly in the ubiquitous computing environment. According as the ubiquitous computing environment is developed, various types of sensor to acquire various data including location of the moving object are used widely, and acquired sensor data becomes abundant. However, the existing location management system based on a single location sensor is difficult to support LBS efficiently in the ubiquitous computing environment. In this paper, therefore, we propose the location management system in the ubiquitous computing environment that can manage the location data and the various sensor data efficiently. In addition, the location management system adopts the core technology for efficiently storing and transferring a large-volume of various data such as location data and for efficiently processing the various requests from a variety of servers and sensors. Especially, our architecture that is presented in this paper can support context-aware services and autonomous services efficiently in the ubiquitous computing environment.

In this paper, we propose a ubiquitous Farming Diary System which can support the easy and reliable recording of a farming diary for the certificate on environment-friendly agricultural products by using the USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technologies. By using growth-related data, the system can also control farming facilities remotely and automatically. To achieve this goal, the UFDS(Ubiquitous Farming Diary System) is consisted with 3 layers. The first 'physical layer' can collect data from sensors, cameras and facilities then controls the growth environment based on the analyzed information. The second 'Middle layer' can process and store the data from 'physical layer' to sensor manager, image manager, control manager and diary manager separately. The third 'application layer' can provide growth-related services to users through various applications. The UFDS can recording grow history information automatically and Easily. Besides, the system can make an accurate and reliable farming diary with multimedia information such as motion and sound. Furthermore, environmental information such as temperature, humidity, luminance and soil conditions (soil temperature, soil humidity, soil EC) can be monitored in real-time and the facilities managed in remote sites.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 패러다임이 제시된 이래로 세계적으로 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고있다. 그러나 아직까지 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅은 현실세계에 적용하기에는 많은 기술적. 비기술적 장벽들이 많이 존재한다. 보안과 프라이버시에 관한 사회적인 우려는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술의 실제 환경에 적용하는데 큰 걸림돌로 작용한다. 따라서 진행되고 있는 많은 유비쿼터스 연구들은 각각의 프로젝트에 적합한 보안 및 프라이버시 보호를 위한 기술들을 개발하여 적용하고 있는 실정이다. 유비쿼터스 시스템 연구센터는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 구현하기 위해 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅을 제안하였다. 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅에서 발생할 수 있는 보안 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 커뮤니티 스킨을 구현하였다. 커뮤니티 스킨은 커뮤니티 구성원들을 커뮤니티 외부 개체들과 구분 짓고, 외부의 침입으로부터 보호해 줄 수 있다. 커뮤니티 스킨은 암호학적 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 구현될 수 있다. 본고에서는 보안 서비스를 4가지 유형으로 분류하고 이를 토대로 커뮤니티가 보안 협약을 통한 커뮤니티 스킨을 형성 하도록 하였다.

Recently, there are lots of concerning on ubiquitous environment of robots and URC (Ubiquitous Robotic Companion). In this paper, a practical ubiquitous interface system far controlling mobile robots in indoor environments was proposed. The interface system was designed as a manager-agent model including a PC manager, a mobile manager, and robot agents for being able to be accessed by any network. In the system, the PC manager has a 3D virtual environment and shows real images for a human-friendly interface, and share the computation load of the robot such as path planning and managing geographical information. It also contains Hybrid Format Manager(HFM) working for transforming the image, position, and control data and interchanging them between the robots and the managers. Mobile manager working in the minimized computing condition of handsets has a mobile interface environment displaying the real images and the position of the robot and being able to control the robots by pressing keys. Experimental results showed the proposed system was able to control robots rising wired and wireless LAN and mobile Internet.

This study suggests a trial system for facility monitoring technology on ubiquitous environment. The trial system can be used for integrated various collection and sending data by bluetooth and wireless network from bridge. We used smart sensor and wireless network for it. Especially, we analyzed out all appliable technologies at monitoring part on ubiquitous environment and gave a standard spec to build the system. We wanted it as a guideline to apply ubiquitous in smart facility monitoring part.

This paper proposes and analyzes the anti-collision algorithm in Ubiquitous ID system. We mathematically compares the performance of the proposed algorithm with that of binary search algorithm, slotted binary tree algorithm using time slot, and bit-by-bit binary tree algorithm proposed by Auto-ID center. We also validated analytic results using OPNET simulation. Based on the analytic results, comparing the proposed algorithm with bit-by-bit algorithm which is the best of existing algorithms, the performance of proposed algorithm is about 5% higher when the number of tags is 20, and 100% higher when the number of tags is 200.
