    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a floating-point computation apparatus and method using Computing-in-Memory (CIM). The floating-point computation apparatus performs a multiply-and-accumulation operation on pieces of input neuron data represented in a floating-point format, and includes a data preprocessing unit configured to separate and extract an exponent and a mantissa from each of the pieces of input neuron data, an exponent processing unit configured to perform CIM on input neuron exponents, which are exponents separated and extracted from the input neuron data, and a mantissa processing unit configured to perform a high-speed computation on input neuron mantissas, separated and extracted from the input neuron data, wherein the exponent processing unit determines a mantissa shift size for a mantissa computation and transfers the mantissa shift size to the mantissa processing unit, and the mantissa processing unit normalizes a result of the mantissa computation and transfers a normalization value to the exponent processing unit.

    Abstract: Provided is a soft growing robot which may be precisely controlled by reducing the effect of a tail tension applied to its inner periphery, the soft growing robot including: a case having one open side; and a vine including an outer periphery having one end fixed to one side surface of the case, the inner periphery disposed inside the outer periphery while being spaced apart from the outer periphery and extended into the case, a tip connecting the other end of the outer periphery and one end of the inner periphery to each other, and a tip space formed by the outer periphery, the tip and the inner periphery, and a tip space formed by the outer periphery, the tip and the inner periphery, wherein a diameter of the tip is smaller than a diameter of the outer periphery, thereby forming a bent portion between the tip and the outer periphery.
