User’s Touch Event Input order of a curve from a user’s touch event Action ItemDetailed Explanation Action_DOWNPush the screen by a finger Action_UP Action_MOVE Move a finger away from the screen Move the finger on the screen while the finger is contacting the screen Types of Touch Events

Touch-based Odometic Information Generation for Mobile Robot Navigation (1)(2)

Experimental Results Obstacle avoidance experiment –Three PSD sensors are placed on the front side of the mobile robot. –Information on surrounding obstacles is acquired and an avoidance algorithm is applied

Experimental Results Gravity Sensor Steering Experiment –User can control the mobile robot as if a user drives a car with steering handle of car –Smart phone simulates the car handle by estimating current pose using 3-axis gravity sensor

Experimental Results Touch-based Odometic Information Generation for Mobile Robot Navigation –Touch event on the smart phone screen was registered as Action_UP –Five major points were displayed as red dots Extraction of major points from the drawn curve experiment

Experimental Results Touch-based odometric information generation and mobile robot navigation experiment

Conclusion Proposed a method to remotely acquire information on a remote robot and remotely control the robot Suggested technology for generation of odometric information of a mobile robot and following technology based on the use of a smart phone touch event Confirmed that it is possible to control a mobile robot through the use of remote data acquisition and the acquired the path of a mobile robot
