Abstract

Rapid progress of standard of living and health care resulted in the increase of aging population. More and more elderly people do not receive good care from their family or caregivers. Intelligent mobile robot combining sensing technologies and wireless communication technologies is very important in reducing the cost of medical resources. The first objective of this research is to develop a service mobile robot for taking care of elderly people. The kinematic equations of the robot platforms will be developed in this research. The PC-based controller can control the mobile robot platform. This service mobile robot is equipped with "indoor positioning system" and obstacle avoidance system. The indoor positioning system is used for rapid and precise positioning and guidance of the mobile robot. The obstacle avoidance system can detect static and dynamic obstacles.
