Development of the system to improve the operability of security robots

Abstract

Since security guards are in short supply, it is necessary to introduce security robots to provide efficient security. Security robots are required to have autonomous movement and teleoperation functions depending on the situation. However, the field of view of camera images used for teleoperation is limited. In our laboratory, we have developed the system to overlay the environmental information on the camera image to assist in understanding the environmental information during teleoperation. In this research, we evaluated the operability of the system during teleoperation through experiments. As a result, it was shown that the extension line display contributes to the improvement of work efficiency and the LRF distance data display contributes to the reduction of workload.
