Waypoint-based Human Navigation using Multiple Laser Projection Suit

抄録

An autonomous human guidance system using the projection light stimuli is an important research topic because it enables us to guide humans with both hands-frees. This paper proposes waypoint-based human navigation using a wearable multiple laser projection device. It can project three discrete laser light spots in the left, right, and front directions. A waypoint-based navigation controller is designed for the suit. The performance of the waypoint-based navigation is evaluated in an open-space. The results show that the waypoint-based navigation can guide humans to the goal through multiple waypoints, with a 100% success rate.
