A study on evaluation method for indoor guide robot

摘要

As applications of service robotics has become widely broaden, necessity for evaluation method upon each particular application of service robots stands out in order to secure safe usage of service robot products and promote service robot market. With these circumstances, this study focused on developing evaluation method for guide robot particularly with 2 reasons: popularity of guide robots and functional universality. By analyzing common functions of guide robots, we developed evaluation method and criteria on indoor guide robot. Through the development process, we expect that we could develop other particular evaluation methods for specific application types on the basis of this study.
