Abstract

We propose a supporting steering control system using IR for a personal mobility vehicle (PMV) to pass through a narrow space in indoor environment. This system consists of IR markers located on an entrance or on the way of the narrow space and an IR sensor mounted on a PMV. An IR sensor calculates relative angle as an angle of approach and distance between itself and an IR marker to pass through on a marker. To validate the proposed system, we performed the experiments to estimate accuracy of calculated relative angle and distance. Furthermore, we demonstrated automatic control using by our manufactured PMV 'RT-Mover P-type2' with the system. These results showed that the proposed system is effective in path guidance for PMVs.
