2A1-T07 Development of omnidirectional vehicle for a handicapped child : 6th Report: Generation of artificial potential field and operation assist order adapting to environment using Kinect sensor(Welfare Robotics and Mechatronics(2))

Abstract

The mobile experience of infant stage is important, in order to encourage the development of the cognitive faculty. We are developing an omnidirectional vehicle, which has various functions for handicapped children. In this study, we newly introduce the Kinect sensor as the environment recognition sensor and the operation assist system which yields the collision prevention order using the artificial potential field.
