Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for estimating a depth of an image. The method may include acquiring a first depth image based on left and right images collected from a stereo camera, estimating a second depth image based on any one of the left and right images, generating a depth estimation model based on first depth values within a depth range recognizable by the stereo camera in the first depth image and on second depth values of the second depth image matching the first depth values, and inputting third depth values of a range intended to be estimated in the second depth image to the depth estimation model, thereby estimating fourth depth values of the first depth image matching the third depth values.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for determining a junction, and more particularly, a junction determination apparatus and method for robot driving. The junction determination apparatus includes an input unit configured to receive information regarding a topology route from a current location to a destination, a memory configured to store a driving program using the information regarding the topology route, and a processor configured to execute the program. The processor is configured to transmit a driving-related command using the information regarding the topology route and a result of determining the junction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a down jacket with a selectable outer shell, which includes: an urethane coating layer formed on an inner face of an outer shell for preventing exudation of duck down such that not only synthetic resin but also fabrics of various kinds capable of exudation of duck down can be applied; and a tape member formed on an inner face of an inner shell so as to form a compartment through a thermal adhesion at a portion where the tape member and the urethane coating layer meet together, thereby making a processing process easy. The down jacket with the selectable outer shell is made with double fabrics having an inner shell and an outer shell and a plurality of compartments formed by computing the inner shell and the outer shell and filled with duck down.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing an accuracy of robot location information.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing contamination for use with a distance measuring sensor, the apparatus comprising: a distance measuring module mounted inside or outside of a vehicle and configured to measure the distance between the vehicle and objects around the vehicle; a distance-based recognition unit configured to recognize a surround environment of the vehicle based on the distance measured by the distance measuring module; and a contamination removing module configured to measure the level of contamination on the distance measuring module and perform a cleaning with respect to an area where the contamination occurs when the measured level of contamination is above a preset threshold.

Abstract: An unmanned surveillance device includes a robot control terminal configured to be loaded within a remote control robot under a surveillance environment, collect state information and surrounding circumstance information, operate the remote control robot in driving mode or surveillance mode according to a remote control command corresponding to the state information and surrounding circumstance information. Further, the unmanned surveillance device includes a remote control system configured to receive the state information and the surrounding circumstance information of the remote control robot from the robot control terminal, output the received state information and surrounding circumstance information of the remote control robot, and provide the remote control command to the robot control terminal.

Abstract: Provided is a method including receiving information on a surrounding situation detected by the mobile robot; detecting birds from the received surrounding situation information; allocating a birds control mission to the mobile robot by extracting a birds control pattern corresponding to the surrounding situation; and verifying a result in accordance with performing the allocated birds control mission from the mobile robot. By controlling the birds so as to, in advance, prevent a loss of lives and economical loss which may be caused when the birds collide with airplanes at the airport, it is possible to improve productivity and efficiency of a birds repelling job in an airport and provide construction of a new type of aviation maintenance business model by activating an air traffic control industry through providing a safer airplane operating model while saving operating personnel costs for preventing collision of birds.

Abstract: A method for controlling multiple small robots includes generating cooperation missions to be performed through cooperation with cooperation robots according to the manipulation of a main operator, generating an operator recruiting message including mission outline information for the cooperation missions, transmitting the operator recruiting message to neighboring robot mission units. The method further includes receiving participation information including robot situation information from at least one of the neighboring robot mission units, which participates in the cooperation, assigning divided missions to operators participating in the cooperation based on the robot situation information, and transmitting the assigned divided missions to the at least one of the neighboring robot mission units participating in the cooperation.

Abstract: In an operating system having a first controller configured to manage one or more robots included in a first region, and a second controller configured to manage one or more robots included in a second region adjacent to the first region, a method for enabling the second controller to acquire an operation right of N robots (where N is a natural number equal to or greater than 1) operated by the first controller, the method includes: transmitting a control mapping status (CMS) containing an operation right change message to the first controller, upon reception of an operation right request signal from a user of the N robots; and checking a connection status of the N robots, upon reception of the CMS containing the operation right change message from the first controller, and acquiring an operation right by providing CMS acquisition information and control mapping information to the robots included in the second region.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a ranging code extracts a ranging code in each ranging mode, using a ranging code table storing one period data in bytes of the PN code according to a reference UL PermBase number, and an offset table that stores byte offsets for the start positions of the PN codes of the reference UL PermBase number and the other plurality of UL PermBase numbers and bit offsets in the byte including the start positions, on the basis of the PN code according to the reference UL PermBase number.

Abstract: An intelligent printing system includes a printed document delivery robot for delivering printed documents. The robot identifies a location of each user PC requesting for printing based on a network address of the PC and establishes a print plan based on the print request. Upon completion of a printing job, the robot travels along a movement path having the shortest distance to each user PC who has requested for printing.
