Abstract
This paper discusses wheelchair support system using humanoid robots as an example of human support using humanoid robots. In this proposal system, humanoid robots provide both of mobility and manipulation supports for the wheelchair users. Then we show the experimental results on pushing a wheelchair using a real humanoid robot HRP-2, because it is essential for humanoid robots to perform this task for creating this proposal system.
