1P1-C03 Development of Robotic Transportation System : Localization of human by environmental cameras

Abstract

This paper describes the localization of a guidance robot and humans to realize the robotic transportation system for shopping assist. Cameras set at the ceiling to cover the corridors of the shopping store are used as sensors. Each camera image is processed to detect not only the robot but also humans. Detected positions of the robot and humans are sent to the environmental database through LAN. The experimental results are reported using the model shopping store to show the performance of the method.
