We have developed a method that enables a robot to follow a person robustly using a laser range finder. In this paper, we propose a control method of a robot that moves side-by-side with a person. Specifically, we develop a method for a robot that moves on the right side of a person. Next, we develop a method of selecting and following either left or right side of a person. Finally, we develop a method that allows the user to freely select the left and right positions. Experiments following the S-shaped path confirmed that the proposed methods worked.
