This research aims to develop a robot which can attend a person.We model the transition of person's state using a finite state machine (FSM). The robot recognizes events for the state transitions and selects an appropriate attending action for each state.We implemented attending actions for the person's walking and the sitting action.When a person is walking, the robot takes a following action.When the person is sitting, the robot moves to a waiting position determined by considering the comfort of the person and the others.We carried out attending experiments using a real robot to show the effectivenss of the proposed approach.
