Abstract

This paper introduces a person following shopping cart robot. The developed prototype robot is using a shopping cart as the robot\´s main body and attaching a driving module. The aim of this study is to develop a porting system for large-sized facilities (i.e. shopping mall, airport, etc.), where the object item is autonomously carried by a person following ("after you") porting robot. We believe such study on porting robots is highly practical and necessary in today\´s aging society. By using the computer\´s signal output for autonomous run and the manually control function for risk aversion, a compatible control with automatically and manually control is realized. The structure and the principle of control system are described
