4차 산업시대를 맞이하여 많은 공학 분야에서 IoT(Internet of Things)기술의 연계는 매우 중요한 쟁점이다. 최근 조선소에서도 디지털 조선, 스마트 팩토리 등의 개념을 구체화하고 있는 추세이다. 한편 자동차, 비행기 등에서 자율주행을 구현하는 연구는 매우 활발 하고 일정 부분 상용의 형태로 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 오픈 소스 아두파일럿 기반의 FC(Flight Controller) 및 RTK(Real Time Kinematic) GPS(Global Positioning System)를 이용하여 자율 주행 임무를 수행하는 보트의 주행성에 관한 연구로서 잔잔한 호수에서 실해역 실험을 수행하였으며 보트의 임무는 특정한 지점을 자율주행한 후 홈 위치로 스스로 돌아오는 과정에 대한 조종성 평가이다. 주어진 속도에서 기 설정된 임무 궤적과 실 운항 궤적에 따른 차이를 분석하고 시스템의 보트 적용성에 대한 일련의 연구를 수행하였다. 또한 4개의 프로펠러를 가지는 OmniX 선체의 주행성을 분석하였으며 최대 48%의 주행 추적성 향상을 확인하였다.

Recently, environmental problems associated with the excessive use of fossil fuel are hot issue throughout the world. As an alternative energy resource, the importance of renewable energy is continuously rising. Especially, growth rate of photovoltaic energy generation is one of the best. In this paper, floating PV generation system made of pultruded fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (PFRP) is discussed. It is well known that PFRP has many advantages such as high corrosion resistance, high specific strength/stiffness, etc. Compared with conventional construction materials. To investigate the structural behavior under flow induced dynamic loading, members and connections of members are tested under cyclic loading. It was found that the structural system is strong enough to resist such a cyclic loading.

In a four-wheel independent drive platform, four wheels and motors are connected directly, and the rotation of the motors generates the power of the platform. It uses a skid steering system that steers based on the difference in rotational power between wheel motors. The platform can control the speed of each wheel individually and has excellent mobility on dirt roads. However, the difficulty of the straight-running is caused due to torque distribution variation in each wheel’s motor, and the direction of rotation of the wheel, and moving direction of the platform, and the difference of the platform’s target direction. This paper describes an algorithm to detect the slip generated on each wheel when a four-wheel independent drive platform is traveling in a harsh environment. When the slip is detected, a compensation control algorithm is activated to compensate the torque of the motor mounted on the platform to improve the trajectory tracking performance of the platform. The four-wheel independent drive platform developed for this study verified the algorithm. The wheel slip detection and the compensation control algorithm of the platform are expected to improve the stability of trajectory tracking.

The paper aims to investigate the performance of domestic Saudi Arabian ETFs. ETFs are investment vehicles in vogue. These instruments were the first levers for investors allowing them to enter some markets that have been highly protected or out of reach. Saudi Arabia, which has been promoted as an emerging country by MSCI, seeks to attract more foreign investors. The first ETFs were launched in the years 2010-2011. Even though their number has not increased since then, there is a desire to attract a large number of investors. We use premiums/discounts analysis, standard risk-return models, and tracking errors measurements to assess how closely their replicate the underlying benchmark based on monthly data. The results indicate that out of the three funds investigated two are slightly traded at premium, while the latter exhibit a price discount. However, tracking errors are at minimum for all funds suggesting that they track well the benchmark index. Further, the Jensen’s model shows that alphas are negative or null, and betas capture largely the systematic risk which is consistent with index investing strategies. Finally, traditional risk-adjusted measures of performance are used to compare ETFs, and results exhibit negative ratios showing that portfolios achieve lower return than the risk-free rate.

선량률을 조절하면서 종양을 추적하는 방법은 호흡이 불규칙한 환자를 치료할 때 방사선을 적응적으로 전달하는 효율적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 빔 켜기/끄기 스위칭을 제공하는 모션 관리 인터페이스 (MMI, Varian Medical System, CA)를 이용한 불규칙 호흡에 대해 적응성 종양 추적을 시행 할 수 있는지 확인하였다. 폐암 환자로부터 획득한 55개의 호흡 정보를 사용하였다. 첫날 환자의 RPM 흔적을 사용하여 사전 프로그래밍 된 추적 MLC 패턴을 디자인하는데, 치료 기간 중 환자의 호흡 불규칙성의 변화를 따라 잡기 위해 기간을 의도적으로 20% 줄였다. 이 기술의 적정성 기준은 진폭 및 주기의 20 % 미만의 표준편차이다. 사전 프로그래밍 된 MLC 위치와 현재 호흡 위치를 고려하여 100 ms마다 빔 켜기 / 끄기를 결정하는 알고리즘이 개발되었다. 추적 오류 및 전달 효율성은 RPM 추적에서 빔 스위칭 적응형 추적을 시뮬레이션하여 계산되었다. 38 명의 환자(70%)의 호흡 양상이 적합 기준을 충족 시켰습니다. 기준을 충족하는 모든 사례의 추적 오류는 2 mm 미만 (평균 1.4 mm)이며 평균 전달 효능은 71 % 였다. 기준을 충족하지 못한, 나머지 경우의 추적오류와 전달 효율은 1.9 mm와 48% 였다. 본 연구를 통해, 환자 선택이 적격 기준을 기반으로 하는 경우 빔 스위칭을 통한 적응형 추적 치료가 가능한 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we deal with the performance evaluation method of user identification and user tracking for intelligent robots using face images. This paper shows general approaches for standard evaluation methods to improve intelligent robot systems as well as their algorithms. The evaluation methods proposed in this paper can be combined with the evaluation methods for detection algorithms of face region and facial components to measure the overall performance of face recognition in intelligent robots.

A purpose of developing a sound source tracking system in this paper is to reduce the noise efficiently from the received signal by microphone array and measure the signal's time delay between the microphones. I have applied the wavelet analysis algorithm to the system and calculated the sound source's relative position For the performance evaluation, I have compared with the results of utilizing the digital filtering methods based on the FIR LPF using Kaiser window function and the inverse Chebyshev IIR LPF. As a result, I have confirmed the fact that 'time-scale' filter using inverse discrete wavelet transform was suitable for this system.
