The contour extractor extracts silhouette contour of the detected foreground object, and the model generator generates mean value histogram models as references to determine motions of the object.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for expressing an emotion of a robot, which are applicable to different emotion robot platforms are provided. The method of expressing an emotion of a robot, the method includes: collecting emotion information by at least one internal or external sensor; generating an emotion and determining a behavior based on the collected information; determining an emotion expression, emotional intensity, and an action unit according to the generated emotion; generating an emotion expression document according to the determined emotion expression, emotional intensity, and action unit; analyzing the emotion expression document; and controlling the robot based on the initial status information of the robot and the generated emotion expression document.

Abstract: A robot actuator and a robot actuating method. In the robot actuator, when an input part detects an external stimulus signal according to a user's contact, a control part receives the detected external stimulus signal to create sensor data. The control part determines an output reaction, and an output actuator through the created sensor data and controls the output actuator according to the determined output reaction. Thus, an axial skeletal unit of an output part is moved according to an operation of the output actuator to express the output reaction. Accordingly, a natural, lively reaction of the robot actuator to an external stimulus can be achieved.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for expressing emotions in an intelligent robot. In the apparatus, a plurality of different sensors sense information about internal/external stimuli. A state information collector processes the detected information about the internal/external stimuli in a hierarchical structure to collect external state information. An emotion motive determiner determines an emotion need motive on the basis of the external state information and the degree of a change in an emotion need parameter corresponding to internal state information. An emotion state manager extracts available means information for satisfaction of the generated emotion needs motive and state information corresponding to the available means information. An emotion generator generates emotion information on the basis of a feature value of the extracted state information.

Abstract: An annotation based automatic web document generation apparatus includes a web server, an annotation editor, an annotation server, an annotation/meta file database, and annotation processing system. The web server provides a web document. The annotation editor refers the web document from the web server to generate at least one annotation and generates a merged command for data for said at least one annotation. The annotation/meta file database stores the data for said at least one annotation and a merged meta file including the merged command for the data for said at least one annotation. Thus, it is possible to generate a new web document adapted for a user terminal by combining context information with the merged meta file and efficiently provide a plurality of user terminals of various characteristics with existing web documents.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a robot and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes: a state interpretation unit determining whether or not a current situation belongs to a preset unstable state by evaluating the current situation based on a plurality of perception information items; and a target generation unit setting a target action of the robot by comparing the current situation and the determination result with a predetermined value system, and then, modifying the target action by receiving a feedback of the action performance result of the robot as perception information. According to the method and apparatus, by inputting a processing procedure and a value system to solve a variety of unstable states that can occur in situations of a user and circumstances surrounding the robot, the robot can actively respond with actions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a remote control system, a remote server, a remote control agent, and a remote control method. According to the present invention, when controlling the remote apparatus to perform a target service, remote apparatus information and service information are searched and a service plan is generated based on the searched remote apparatus information and service information for execution of the target service. In addition, a remote apparatus control process generated by the service plan and the process is performed. Therefore, users can easily control the remote apparatus and can be provided desired services.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating documents used in an Internet e-business environment. In the present invention, using document components that may be jointly used between e-business systems and that are stored in a document component library, a document generation rule formulating tool based on a graphic user interface is employed to generate business documents. Document components are assembled based on these rules, after which context rules are applied to revise the assembled components to match desired conditions to thereby generate grammar neutral documents. Finally, conversion is performed into grammar for a specific business system to generate business documents. As a result, the differences between business systems are overcome, and the re-usability of business documents is maximized to enable e-business to be performed efficiently.

Abstract: A system and a method for reprocessing web contents in multiple steps are disclosed. A user agent generates an HTTP request message in response to an user's demand and transmits the HTTP request message. A web server analyzes the HTTP request message transmitted from the user agent and generates a contents requested by the user to thereby transmit the contents to a corresponding intermediate server which performs multi-step reprocessing of the contents. And a plurality of intermediate servers reprocesses the contents transmitted from the web server and transmits the contents to the user agent.
