ロボットの移動と投影を組み合わせた人の案内方法

抄録

Guiding people have been drawing attention as an important task of mobile robots. However, there were problems that people overtake the robot and go out of the guide route, and that people move to a position that interferes with the movement of the robot. In this paper, we focus on a robot equipped with a projection function, and we propose a method of naturally guiding a person without explicit instruction by combining movement and projection behavior of the robot. Experimental results show that the movement of subjects was affected by both the movement and projection of the robot, which confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed guide behaviors.
