| Research Abstract |
It is necessary to develop the robots not only in industrial fields but also in home or office environments. This study presents an methodology of environmental support for autonomous mobile robots with sensing, navigation, communication and energy support function. Robots can do effectively within the introduced environments. This approach is effective because this is corresponding to the environmental support of roads, traffic sings and signals for introducing automobiles into daily lives. Three things are realized with this study : (1) support of sensing system : artificial visual marks are designed for supporting sensing ability of robots. The mark makes up for insufficient function of sensors ; self-positioning, positioing of objects, and diciding methods to operate objects. (2) support of energy supply system : dual-energized scheme, which make use of both batteries and household electricity, was proposed and designed. (3) environmental design : the above-mentioned systems are disposed into the working environments of robots by utilizing optimal disposition scheme. The merits of the study are as follows : (1) We can realized the truely practical approach for constructing real-world robot systems. There is possibility of extending the use of robots. (2) The proposed system can be effective for forthcoming aging society.
