Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop a robust human tracking method for mobile robot using only one laser range finder (LRF). When a mobile robot runs along a human, it is always necessary to observe positions of the human. Therefore, the LRF must be mounted on a position easy to recognize human. Furthermore, the LRF may lose the position of the target human, and another human might enter between the robot and the target human. Therefore, this paper discusses the mounting position of the LRF, as well as a robust tracking method using the LRF.
