2P2-E04 Navigation Instructions Using Handwriting Map Interface

Abstract

We propose a easier way to give a map to a robot using handwriting map interface. To popularize the use of robots in the home and welfare institutions, robots must be easy for anyone to use. In this paper, we discuss the way to give to the robot the graph map corresponding to its environment using handwriting map interface that converts handwriting map composed of lines into the graph map. We expect this interface to relieve us of the bother of making maps. Simulation results applied this interface to corridor environments are shown.
