Abstract: The present invention relates to an amorphous alloy having low frictional resistance and capable of improving abrasion resistance, a target made of the amorphous alloy, and a compressor comprising a layer of the amorphous alloy as a coating layer. According to the present invention, it is possible to secure high hardness and a low elastic modulus of the coating layer by controlling a microstructure having an amorphous phase as a primary phase by using Ti-based three-component to five-component amorphous alloys. As a result, it is possible to prevent the coating layer from being peeled off from a matrix or destroyed, and thus it is possible to achieve the effect of improving reliability or durability of a mechanical apparatus such as a compressor.

Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, a change detection method for ROBOT process automation (RPA) performed by a computer device includes obtaining object information of a target object from first working environment information at a first time, and determining a comparison object detected in second working environment information at a second time as an object corresponding to the target object based on the obtained object information of the target information. Thus, even if an error occurs due to a change in a working environment, an RPA apparatus can operate normally by correcting the error by itself without the need for a user to recreate a new bot or modify the existing bot. Also, even if the position or shape of an object referred to by RPA in a screen is changed, the RPA apparatus can accurately find an object to manipulate based on surrounding information and perform RPA normally.
