-
We are conducting research on mobile robots that use projection to present information for safe movement and human guidance.
Mobile robot that guides people by controlling the position of the projected image
| A problem that arises in actual use of guide robots is that if people surround the robot, it will not be able to move along its calculated path. A guide robot that uses projection to provide explanations creates a convenient situation for its own movement by guiding people to the positions of the projected images. By placing the projector on a pan-tilt platform on the robot, the robot independently controls the direction of travel and projection, and guides people around it by combining movement and the position of the projected image. |

Mobile robots that projects to guide people as they pass each other in a hallway
| When a robot moves among pedestrians, even if the robot calculates a very safe path, surrounding pedestrians may feel uneasy because they cannot predict the robot's behavior. By showing the robot its future path, the robot can interact with the pedestrians to reassure them and at the same time secure its own path. We propose methods in which a robot equipped with a projector shares its internal state with surrounding pedestrians through projection. |
