Operations of human-centered robot, in general, facilitates the creation of new process that may potentially harm the human operators. Design of safety-guaranteed operation of human-centered robots is, therefore, important since it determines the ultimate outcomes of operations involving safety of human operators. This study discusses the application of information-theoretic measures to safety assessment of human-centered robotic operations. Some examples are given.

Operation of human-centered robot, in general, facilitates the creation of new process that may potentially harm the human operators. Design of safety-guaranteed operation of human-centered robots is, therefore, important since it determines the ultimate outcomes of operations involving safety of human operators. This study discusses the application of geometric tolerance and head injury criteria to safety assessment of human-centered robotic operations. Examples show that extending "Work Area" has more significant effect on the uncertainty in safety than extending the system range in the presence of velocity control.

The purpose of this research is to develop the Human-centered CAD system in which human factors can be considered during the design stage. For this system there are several issues to research, like the digital human modeling technology, the definition of interactions between human and product, the simulation of human motion when using the product, and the bio-mechanical analysis of human, etc. This paper introduces how to construct the kinematical structure of the digital human model. For our digital human model H-ANIM, the international specification of humanoid animation is referenced. And we added the skeleton geometry and the skin surfaces to our model. And it can manipulate its joints by forward kinematics. Also the IKAN inverse kinematics algorithm is adopted to support the posture prediction of the digital human model in the product environment. All of these ideas are implemented using CAD API so that we can apply these functions to the current commercial CAD systems. In this manner, the human factor issues can be effectively taken into account at the early design phase and the costs of bio-mechanical evaluation will be significantly reduced.

Currently, various technological models and services are emerging because of the development of information and communication technology and the convergence of industries. The ICT car field is expanding because of technological convergence in the automobile industry. However, ICT convergence services are still being developed based solely on technology; characterization of users and their needs is lacking. Therefore, two types of ICT car services that apply human-centered design processes are developed in this study. These processes create services and models while considering the quality and functions of products based on users (instead of technology) when developing products or services. Usability evaluation was performed on the developed services; a human-centered design process was applied to the results to confirm that the derived services resulted in high satisfaction. In the future, these research results will provide useful applications when developing ICT car services and strategies.

21st century has different characters from 20th century which was an era of machine and rationality based on the industrial revolution. With the advent of the digital revolution, it became an era of pluralism, culture, and emotion. The digital technology made it possible to connect the whole world together in real time and brought about the entirely new notion of time and space. It also dramatically altered the world view. Now we have a different set of social and cultural values from the past. This paper researched the influences of these social and cultural changes on public designs. The leading trends of public designs were analyzed and the successful cases were studied. The main research methodologies were the document review and the instrumental case study. The major social & cultural paradigms of a present era were classified as 'pluralism', 'digital & information revolution', 'human-centered value (against machine-centered value of 20th century)', and 'organic world view'. Each of the classified paradigms was analyzed more to find out the influences on the various trends of public designs. 'Pluralism' has influence on 'experiential public design', 'community art', and 'public design of local values'. 'Digital & information revolution' has influence on 'content-centered public design', 'smart public design', 'immaterial public design', and 'performance in public design'. 'Human-centered value' has influence on 'universal design approach in public design', and 'emotional public design'. 'Organic world view' has influence on 'sustainable public design', and 'ecological public design'.

The present study developed an anthropometric design method accommodating physical human variabilities for user-centered product development. The proposed design method is based on the boundary zone method, a technique to generate a group of humanoids properly representing the body size diversity of thedesign target population. In addition, the anthropometric design method considers the variability of postures in the design process by incorporating the simulation of posture. The effectiveness of the proposed design method was evaluated in terms of multivariate accommodation percentage (MAP) by applying it to designing a computer workstation with 90% of accommodation percentage. The performance evaluation showed that the MAP (89%) of the computer workstation design produced by the proposed method was quite close to the designated accommodation percentage. The proposed design method can be of use to develop an effective anthropometric design for user-centered product development.

Due to the development of technology and medical care following the 4th industrial revolution, the medical paradigm is shifting towards patient-centered medical services. Based on the development of smart home technology, the residential environment is changing into a residential space that cares for and heals the lifestyles and the healthcare of families. As lifestyle changes, the concept of supporting smart home care based on the residential environment is making it possible to build a smart home IoT service design with enhanced accessibility and convenience for medical appointments and well-being lifestyle care. This paper is a study on user-centered health care smart home IoT service design suitable for family members based on the health care, beauty care, exercise care, and customized diet care beyond the conventional concept of health care monitoring. Based on the analysis, this paper proposes a personal care coordinate smart home service design in a human-centered wellness clinic care smart home service design environment. Human-centered wellness clinic smart home IoT service design is meaningful in presenting a vision for research on smart home service design that links hospital-linked and care-linked service industries, which should be considered from the smart home construction planning stage.

본 연구는 사용자 중심적 사고의 사회적 니즈에 대응하기 위한 방법으로 대두된 유니버설 디자인을 중심으로 디자인 표준화의 진행 동향에 대해 고찰하고, 도입 필요성에 대한 논의점을 제공한 것이다. 인간중심이자는 발상은 지나 온 산업사회에서의 경험과 자성을 통해 인간성의 매몰과 비인간화 경향을 극복하고, 보다 인간성의 함양과 인간의 자아실현을 위해 발현된 것이라 볼 수 있다. 오늘날의 표준화 의의는 품질 성능과 안전성이나 경제적 측면에 머물지 않고 인간의 다양성과 복지적인 시점에서의 배려가 요구되고 있으며, 디자이너들에게 중요한 단서나 지침을 제공해주는 기능이 주목되고 있다. 그동안 디자인 표준화는 자유로운 창의성에 제약이 된다는 디자인계의 우려 속에 표준화 도입에 대한 연구자들의 무관심으로 인해 디자인 관련 전반에 표준화 연구가 답보를 면치 못하고 있었다. 2001년 11월에 ISO/IEC Guide 71이 발행되면서 한국표준협회는 가이드를 내용 변경 없이 KS A ISO/IEC Guide71로서 제정하기에 이르렀으며, 기업 활동에 있어서 유니버설 디자인과 연동된 표준화의 진행은 점차 중요한 요인이 되어가고 있다. 그러나 규격화 또는 기준화에 의해 얻어지는 절대 다수를 위한 효용성과 호환성 등과 같은 이점은 크다 할 수 있으나, 유니버설디자인을 실현함에 있어서는 단지 표준화나 규준에 의거한 기준지상주의가 아닌, 사용자 체험과 니즈 그리고 인체특성과 불편요소 DB 등을 바탕으로 한 인간 중심의 디자인 마인드의 동반이 요구된다.
