In this paper, a Fast Personal Identification (FPI) method using Dress Color Information (DCI) for a guide robot is proposed. The DCI is a small number of color information that is only calculated at narrow areas around a user's (guided person's) joint positions obtained by the KINECT on a mobile robot. The FPI method includes not only the person's skeletal information but also the DCI. This method can identify the user in real time. As a result, even if the mobile robot loses the user temporarily when there are many people present, it can find the user properly and promptly. In addition, it can keep the distance to the user according to the walking speed. Two experiments that show the accuracy of the FPI and the sample of guide to the destination are presented.
