Response control of a communication robot depends on the position and velocity of the person

Abstract

The role of the communication robot is increasing for the aging society with declining birthrate especially in Japan. Thus, field trails are very important to confirm the fundamental function of the robot and to know the comments from the person who joined the verification experiment. Here, we extended the greeting function to the interface robot ApriPocoTM considering the position and velocity of the people around the robot. The result of the verification experiment is described.
