This technology generates motion sequences with emotional context by vectorizing text prompts and emotional information into separate embeddings, then applying the emotion embedding as a condition within a generative AI model.
Existing text-based motion generation often struggles to capture the nuances or intensity of emotions, making it difficult to differentiate the same action based on the underlying emotional state.
By controlling the diffusion process with emotion embeddings and weights, and adjusting facial, hand, and body movements accordingly, this technology enables the creation of expressive, context-aware motions for 3D character content.

This technology generates 3D character motions by creating a biomechanical context vector—which includes allowable rotation ranges for each joint—from text condition vectors and skeleton structure information, and then applying this to a diffusion-based motion generation model to produce joint-specific rotation sequences.
When generating 3D character motions using AI, issues often arise where joints bend or twist beyond the natural range of human motion, resulting in biomechanically unnatural movements.
By adjusting scale and shift using the biomechanical context vector and replacing or correcting values that exceed allowable rotation ranges with minimum and maximum rotation angles for each axis, this technology enables the generation of biomechanically natural motions for 3D character animation.

This technology is a concrete reinforcement method that uses plate-type curved FRP reinforcements with curved grooves on the sides and inserts with matching convex parts. The inserts are first fixed to the concrete structure, and then the grooves of the FRP reinforcement are seated and attached.
When reinforcing aging or poorly constructed concrete structures or buildings built before updated seismic design standards, FRP reinforcement members were typically attached to the surface and secured at the ends with fasteners, bolts, or rivets, or anchored by drilling directly into the members. However, drilling into FRP is difficult, and when external forces are applied, high bearing stress between the fasteners and the holes causes brittle splitting failure of the FRP reinforcement.
This technology features expansion wings protruding from the opposite side of the insert, which is embedded into the structure by cutting installation grooves for the reinforcement and fixing grooves for the wings. The reinforcement can have alternating side grooves, thickened edges, or longitudinal surface grooves. The insert is further secured with anchor holes or embedded resistors, and the installation groove ends are covered. Applicable to seismic retrofitting of schools, flexural reinforcement of bridge decks and parking slabs, and repair of tunnels and underground structures, it eliminates the need for drilling, using the wedge action of the curved grooves to evenly distribute stress and ensure full reinforcement effectiveness without anchorage failure.
This technology is a building system where H-beam girders with integrated end blocks are mounted onto PC columns featuring protruding compression blocks and secured with fastening devices. The floor is then constructed by placing steel decks, consisting of corrugated steel plates and omega (Ω)-shaped truss girders, onto the top flanges.
Hybrid moment-resisting frame structures mixing PC columns and H-beam girders have historically faced challenges in ensuring performance and construction efficiency due to complex joints between dissimilar materials. Furthermore, using H-beams with a uniform cross-section across the entire length—based on the high negative moment at the ends—has been inefficient. Additionally, conventional corrugated or truss decks used for floor slabs have limited rigidity, making them unsuitable for long-span applications.
This technology features a pair of continuously corrugated lattice members inserted into the trough of a corrugated steel plate between two crests. The lower fixing parts are bent outward and the upper support parts inward to join together, with longitudinal top and bottom reinforcement bars creating an Ω-shaped truss. The crest tops feature stiffened grooves filled with compression material, corners have fastening grooves for the lower fixing parts, and both ends include haunches, with compression and end blocks made of UHPC. Suitable for logistics centers, large factories, gyms, and exhibition halls requiring wide, column-free spaces, it increases deck rigidity to allow for shoring-free long-span slab casting and simplifies column-beam connections through dry assembly.
This invention was developed with support from the Ministry of Science and ICT's AI-based Smart Mega-Structure Laboratory.
This technology is a building system for square steel pipe columns equipped with beam support brackets and through-pipes. It involves placing H-beam sections with concrete-filled end casings at both ends onto the brackets, then tensioning and anchoring a fastening device through the pipes to create a rigid connection. The end casing consists of an outer end plate, an inner end plate, side plates, and inclined plates.
Among diaphragms connecting concrete-filled square steel pipe columns and H-beams, internal diaphragms are difficult to fabricate due to the need for welding inside the pipe. Through-diaphragms often create voids inside the pipe, reducing the reliability of concrete filling. While external diaphragms offer better filling reliability, they also require inefficient on-site welding, making quality control difficult. Additionally, using H-beams with the same cross-section throughout their entire length is inefficient.
This technology allows the inclined plates of end casings on beams attached to two orthogonal sides of a column to make surface contact, enabling the casings surrounding the column to act as an external diaphragm without welding. For square columns, the outer end plate and inclined plate form a 135° angle, and adjacent casings are joined with coupling members. Construction involves placing the beam on the bracket, anchoring the steel rods, pouring concrete into the column and casing, and then installing the steel deck and floor slab. Applicable to CFT column frames for high-rise offices, mixed-use complexes, data centers, and large retail facilities, it reduces the need for on-site weld inspections, ensures internal column filling quality, and saves steel by reinforcing only the beam ends.

This technology is a factory-produced timber wall module consisting of a frame made of horizontal base plates, vertical columns, top plates, and studs, with panels split into upper and lower sections by horizontal cut lines attached to the front and back. The top and bottom of the vertical columns are connected to the horizontal plates via shear-deforming joints.
Traditional timber shear walls are built on-site by nailing wood and panels together, leading to significant quality variations based on worker skill and long construction times. While factory-produced modules and prefabricated shear wall connection structures have been proposed, there has been a lack of technical solutions that induce ductile deformation in the wall to absorb seismic energy during an earthquake.
This technology utilizes shaft-type shear connectors with reduced-section shear deformation parts at the base, or box-type shear connectors with opening boxes and anchor bolts. The upper joints feature U-shaped shear connectors with hollow shafts containing notched slits, all made of plastically deformable metal. Multiple slits are cut into the top and bottom of the panels to increase horizontal displacement, while ledges on the front and back of the columns and studs resist horizontal movement. Applicable to timber homes, small multi-unit housing, schools, community facilities, and prefab modular construction, this system concentrates seismic damage into replaceable metal joints to protect the wall structure, allowing for the installation of seismic walls simply by assembling modules on-site.
This technology is a building system that connects H-beam girders, equipped with end blocks at both sides, to PC columns featuring protruding compression blocks. The girder is mounted by inserting the compression block into the block slot at the bottom of the end block, then secured by a fastening device that passes through the neutral axis to tighten the column and girder together. Both the compression blocks and end blocks are made of UHPC.
While hybrid rigid-frame structures using concrete PC columns and steel H-beams are economical, they have historically faced challenges regarding complex joint structures, performance reliability, and construction difficulty. Furthermore, using a uniform H-beam cross-section across the entire span is inefficient, as the section is typically determined by end negative moments. Additionally, the lack of composite action between the H-beam and the cast-in-place slab concrete often leads to stress separation.
In this system, the UHPC compression block handles lower compressive forces, while the upper tensile forces are managed by a fastening device consisting of steel rods, anchor plates, and nuts passing through pipes in the column and end block. A pair of L-shaped steel stiffeners is placed on the top flange to reinforce the positive and negative moment sections, with concrete filled between them to integrate the beam with the slab through holes in the vertical side plates. Suitable for logistics centers, factories, parking structures, and office buildings, this method enables rigid connections via bolting without field welding, while reducing steel usage through end-section reinforcement.
This invention was developed with support from the Ministry of Science and ICT's AI-based Smart Mega-Structure Laboratory.
This technology is an assembly that joins factory-produced upper and lower concrete box girders on-site to form a closed cross-section. The girders are first temporarily connected, then integrated by inserting and anchoring connecting members through holes that penetrate from the top surface of the upper girder to the bottom surface of the lower girder.
Urban bridges often feature sharp curves due to space constraints, leading to the frequent use of steel box girders, which are easier to shape but involve high initial costs and ongoing maintenance. Modular methods using precast concrete still require on-site casting, causing traffic congestion, dust, and noise, and are typically limited to long-span bridges, making them difficult to apply to bridges with small radii of curvature.
This technology uses the contact surfaces of the side plates of an upper girder (with deck and flange) and a lower girder (with bottom plate) as split planes. It uses screw sockets in the side plate grooves to temporarily connect the girders with steel plates, then inserts and tensions tendons through first and second through-holes. The PSC girders can be curved longitudinally, and assemblies are joined by tensioning prestressed joints in longitudinal connection holes. Suitable for sharp-curve urban ramps, interchanges, elevated roads with traffic restrictions, and light rail structures, it enables DfMA-based construction without on-site casting, reducing construction time and lowering costs compared to steel box girders.
This technology is a groundwater treatment and contamination prevention system that draws contaminated groundwater into a hollow extraction well installed vertically underground, purifies it using a replaceable filter unit, and discharges the treated water through a spaced-apart injection well to form a hydraulic barrier between the two wells. Auxiliary wells aligned with the extraction well are also filled with auxiliary filter units to extend the purification zone.
Permeable reactive barriers containing reactive media have been used for groundwater remediation, but because they require large-scale excavation, they suffer from low efficiency, difficulty in replacing media when contaminants change, and high costs. Furthermore, these barriers can cause groundwater to bypass the system or reduce permeability, and a single barrier is often limited in its ability to treat multiple types of contaminants simultaneously.
This technology features a first auxiliary well downstream equipped with extraction capabilities and a reactive filter similar to the extraction well, and a second non-extraction auxiliary well with a different reactive filter placed in between to filter out different contaminants in stages. The filter unit can be configured with first and second reactive material filters arranged vertically, and the well array can be placed perpendicular or at an angle to the groundwater flow to create linear or parabolic barriers. A water treatment monitoring unit compares the contamination levels of influent and effluent. Applicable to industrial site restoration, groundwater protection around landfills and oil storage facilities, and securing water in rural areas, it allows for responding to changes in contamination by simply replacing filters within the wells without excavation, effectively blocking the downstream spread of contaminant plumes.
This invention was developed with support from the Ministry of Environment for the development of reactive media for controlling the spread of inorganic contaminants and the development of construction/control technologies for contamination prevention facilities.
This technology is a hybrid mobile platform mechanism that combines driving wheels with track modules. By adjusting the angle of the track arms via motor power, the structure can be varied to ensure wheel contact on flat surfaces and track contact with the ground on rough terrain.
Conventional wheeled robots excel on flat surfaces but struggle with rough terrain and stairs. Tracked robots are advantageous for rough terrain but suffer from lower speed and energy efficiency on flat surfaces, while legged robots face challenges with complex control and stability.
This technology features a track transformation mechanism that adjusts the position of the track arms using a motor. On flat ground, the track arms are kept horizontal for wheel-based driving, while on rough terrain or stairs, the arms are raised to bring the tracks into contact with the ground, optimizing the driving mode. Applicable to logistics, service robots, and autonomous platforms, it enhances the adaptability and stability of specialized service robots on uneven terrain, thereby improving overall performance and energy efficiency.
This technology is a concrete formwork frame in which a hollow, integrated inner frame with open bottom and ends is formed from TWIP steel inside a rectangular outer frame, then connected using corner and inner brackets. Sound-absorbing material is filled inside the inner frame, and panels are attached by interlocking the panel grooves with the fitting section at the bottom of the outer frame.
Wooden formwork frames lack durability for repeated use, while steel frames are sturdy but heavy, reducing work efficiency. Aluminum frames, which were developed to address these issues, are lightweight but noisy, expensive, and produce five times more CO2 during manufacturing than steel. Furthermore, because their inner and outer frames are welded, they are prone to damage or warping from impact if dropped during form removal.
This technology uses a pair of ultra-high-strength or TWIP steel inner brackets inserted into the ends of the inner frame, with their tips bent outward to fasten to the outer frame. It prevents detachment through the interlocking of a stepped press-fit anti-detachment section and a detent. Silicone sealant is applied to the fitting surfaces, and steel wedge cores are inserted into the wedge pin holes to prevent wear from repeated use. Suitable for wall and slab formwork in apartment and office construction, high-reuse system formwork, and urban sites sensitive to noise, this lightweight, weld-free steel frame reduces both impact noise and damage from drops during form removal.
This technology features a storm drain with multiple optical sensors installed on the upper filter screen connected to underground sewer pipes. If the illuminance drops below a set threshold on a majority of the sensors, the processor identifies the screen as blocked and transmits a blockage signal containing the drain's identification information to a central system.
Storm drain screens are frequently blocked by accumulated leaves and debris, or covered with rubber mats to prevent odors, which hinders rainwater drainage and often leads to flooding. Previously, maintenance required manual, on-site visual inspections, making it difficult to identify and address blocked drains in a timely manner due to labor shortages.
This technology incorporates a solar power generator on the main unit and a blower between the filter screen and the generator. When low illuminance suggests a blockage, the blower reverses to blow air toward the screen, clearing debris. Once illuminance returns to normal, it rotates forward to cool the generator and clear dust. A weight sensor on the inner support protrusions verifies the screen's weight, ensuring signals are sent only when both illuminance and weight thresholds are met, thereby reducing false alarms from shadows or temporary obstructions. Generated power is stored in a battery. Applicable to municipal road drainage, commercial back alleys, and flood-prone underpass entrances, this system allows managers to identify blocked drains on a map and dispatch cleaning crews directly to specific locations without pre-monsoon patrols.
This technology features an internally reinforced steel pipe structure where clamps are installed at both ends inside the pipe to secure the plate ends. A tensioner fixed to the bottom interior of the pipe pushes the plate upward, applying tension that pulls the pipe toward the center, thereby exerting compressive force.
Pedestrian bridges are smaller and lighter than road bridges, requiring sufficient rigidity for user safety and protection against dead loads, live loads, seismic activity, and deflection due to strength degradation. Existing methods using internal cross-bracing often involve concrete, which increases weight and leads to strength loss if the reinforcement corrodes. Similarly, external steel girder reinforcement systems add weight and are prone to corrosion.
This technology features a tensioner divided into a fixed base and a vertically moving part, allowing for easy tension adjustment by locking the moving part at the desired height with bolts and nuts. The contact point on the moving part prevents plate slippage. The clamp body, designed with the same curvature as the steel pipe, is screw-fastened to the interior, securing the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) plate. A saddle roller redirects the plate, while auxiliary reinforcement members—comprising inner/outer loops and diagonal/vertical frames—support vulnerable areas. Applicable to landmark pedestrian bridges, river-crossing bike paths, and aging girder repairs, this system adds minimal weight, resists corrosion, and allows for tension recovery by simply tightening the bolts if the structure loosens over time.
This invention was developed with support from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for the development of carbon-polymer corrosion-zero reinforcement alternatives.
This technology is an IoT smart storm drain that divides the interior into a rainwater permeable section and a debris storage section. A primary debris collection mesh, installed at an angle in the permeable section, filters out debris while allowing rainwater to pass through; it then rotates to dump the collected debris into the storage section. A wire is connected to the high end of the mesh, a rotating shaft to the low end, and a winding motor pulls the wire to actuate the mesh.
Conventional storm drains often become clogged with leaves and trash, or are covered with rubber mats to block odors and pests, preventing proper drainage and leading to flooding. Periodic maintenance is essential to prevent this, but current manual inspection methods are limited by labor shortages.
This technology uses a rainwater sensor on the upper body to keep the mesh tilted during rain for optimal drainage. Once the rain stops, a motor controller activates the winding motor to rotate the mesh and dump debris into the storage area. A secondary mesh below the rotating shaft provides additional filtration. Debris level sensors send data to a control server and then to operator devices. A solar panel and secondary battery provide power, while an LED block marks the curb for pedestrians. Ideal for urban roads, flood-prone lowlands, and tree-lined streets, it keeps drains clear automatically, requiring manual collection only when the storage bin is full.
