Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop the device by which elder people can keep or increase the walking task performance depending on their performances in everyday locomotion of short distances. The geometrical measure was described by the force which the pedestrian gave to the robot, and the relative position between the pedestrian and the robot measured with laser-range-sensors. It was determined whether the pedestrian would fall down by the value of the measure. The robots moved and varied the relative position to prevent the pedestrian from falling down. The walking posture and falling-down posture of a life-size doll simulating a pedestrian were measured with the 3-D motion capture system. The measurement results indicated objectively the validity of the algorithm for preventing the pedestrian from falling down.
