Remote Control System for Mobile Robot with Semi-autonomous Control Based on Degree of Collision Danger

Abstract

This paper proposes a semi-autonomous remote control system for a mobile robot using the degree of collision danger. To successfully realize obstacle avoidance depending on the current condition, the degree of collision danger between the mobile robot and an obstacle is defined by using simplified fuzzy reasoning and is used to decide the priority of manipulation by an operator or autonomous navigation. Several experimental results using our developed legged-type mobile robot demonstrate the validity of the proposed semiautonomous remote control system.
