| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An autonomous mobile robot that can properly adjust its relative position to companion(s) has been studied from the viewpoint of its practical applications to real daily lives. Firstly, the methods to control the position of robot relative to companion(s) based on the idea of artificial potential fields are studied. An autonomous switching method between parallel and cascade positions under the complex dynamic environments, an introduction of hand-in-hand potential field, a shadow potential method based on the relation between light source and shadow have been developed. Next, accompanying movements by a mobile type telepresence robot have been verified by the experiments using a real robot. Furthermore, an autonomous guiding robot that can give the feeling of consideration to a group of people has been developed.
