Abstract
In this paper, we propose an architecture of walking assistant robot for the elderly which is usable at outdoor environment. It is equipped with a PXA255 embedded board, motors, a laser range finder, a CCD camera and a GPS receiver. A user operates it using haptic handle bar. It is useful to the elderly for more comfortable walking and path guidance.
