Abstract
This paper describes construction of notices reading system for enabled persons who use the wheelchair. When the persons look at notices board with riding on the wheelchair, it is remarkably hard for them to move the front of the focused notices due to the fact that motion of general wheelchair is nonholonomic. In this case, the wide space is also required to change the wheel chair direction. Here, the omnidirectional auto-wheelchair was used to approach the front of the notices board and the facial direction was used for operation. The user's face was obtained by the USB camera and the system recognized the user's face directions. It was utilized for the control of the omnidirectional auto-wheelchair to move forward to the front of the notices.
