Abstract

This paper describes a method for Event handling on Robot Town platform and its application by using a wheelchair robot. To enable a sharable personal mobility robot system by using a motorized wheelchair on the market, vision sensors and RFID tags are distributed and are connected to a network. Sensor data are used by the robot for not only the event to perform self-localization but also the event of on-demand calling from the user. Experiments confirmed that wheelchair robots made decisions and completed tasks successfully by use of the method for event handling on Robot Town platform.
