Construction of the Logistical Support Robot System in Living Space (2nd Report: Prototype Design of Position Measurement Device for i-Container)

摘要

This paper discusses the system design of i-Container's informative support part and presents some functions which are required for the domestic logistical support robot system. In the next phase, as one of the i-Container's informative functions, a prototype system of position detection was implemented. The prototype system utilizes a camera and a display device with a dynamic image marker. The characteristic of the markers are hue (color representation) and rhythmic blinking. Through examinations with this prototype in disordered living space, the validity of the dynamic marker was confirmed.
