In order to assist and guide the seniors or the physically handicapped, we have developed the autonomous vehicle with a handrail. The vehicle equipped with a LRF can avoid the obstacles in the environments and the trajectory and the speed of the vehicle can be easily calculated by a dead reckoning method. First, we have examined the speeds and the trajectories of the cart when the subject will push with the handrail in turning the corner. Furthermore, we examined the trajectories by the autonomous mobile robot with a LRF. Then we evaluated the path and the velocity data obtained in the experiments to make the autonomous mobile robot assist and guide the flowing persons, and to walk safely. We will also discuss what may affect them.
