Abstract: Disclosed are an unmanned monitoring system and a monitoring method for performing 360° unmanned monitoring work in equipment having a low storage capacity, such as a robot, by using one omni-directional camera. When an image is input through the omni-directional camera, a movement of an object is detected from the image. Then, the movement region is sampled by tracing the object and the image for the movement region is rotated into a frontal image while compensating for inclination of the image in order to allow a user to easily view the image. Thus, the frontal image is transmitted to a mobile communication terminal of a user, such as a mobile phone or a PDA.

Abstract: A genetic robot platform and a genetic robot behavior expression method. When a controller of a robot platform driving a genetic robot, which has robot-behavior-expression-related information as gene information and of which an expression behavior is determined according to the gene information, recognizes a stimulation, the controller determines whether there is an instinctive behavior corresponding to the recognized stimulation. When there is an instinctive behavior corresponding to the recognized stimulation, the controller determines whether the recognized stimulation corresponds to the first generated stimulation or a repeatedly-generated stimulation, and determines an instinctive behavior to be expressed according to the recognized stimulation and the number of times of repeated stimulations. Then, the controller enables the robot to perform the instinctive behavior corresponding to the currently-recognized stimulation by expressing the determined instinctive behavior.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a robot genome. Internal state attribute preferences of internal states and behavior preferences are input by a user, and a set of one or more robot genomes containing initial values of genes is generated. A masking process of each robot genome of the generated robot genome group is performed so attributes are manifested. Robot genomes that underwent the masking process are loaded into a personality engine. A reliability value is calculated from a manifestation result of each robot genome, and reliability values of extracted robot genomes that satisfy a particular user reliability value are determined. Extracted robot genomes are modified when the user reliability value is not satisfied, and a new robot genome group including the modified robot genomes is generated. A robot genome satisfying the user reliability is extracted by iteratively performing the above procedures for the newly generated robot genome group.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for detecting a face from an image. The apparatus and method uses color components and enables a Support Vector Machine (SVM) having superior recognition performance to previously learn face and non-face images and determine whether an image is a face image based on a learned image database by reducing the size of a feature vector of a face as compared to conventional systems. Accordingly, the apparatus converts a face image into a mosaic image having a minimum size to reduce the dimension of the feature vector, in order to rapidly and correctly detect a face image.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for changing emotion of a software robot (sobot) in a sobot terminal. The sobot terminal includes a short-term memory unit and a long-term memory unit. When an emotional change occurs during the operation of the short-term memory unit, the sobot terminal stores a short-term reference emotion value of the corresponding emotion in the long-term reference memory. When the operation time of the long-term memory unit elapses, the sobot terminal resets the long-term reference emotion value using the short-term reference emotion values stored in the long-term memory unit. The sobot terminal can change the emotion of the sobot more naturally through the above process.
