Navigation Algorithms with LIDAR for Mobile Robots

Digital Object Identifier 10.32754/JMT.2019.1.01 5 Abstract—For a robot that performs autonomously, the communication between the person and the robot is the most important factor. Significant awareness has been observed regarding the usage of such technology. This research has trivial involvement in the development of such robots. A robot that functions fully autonomously should not only complete the jobs that are desired of them but also somehow establish a connection between themselves and the person operating them. We propose a human detection method that uses only a single laser range scanner to detect the waist of the target person. The speed and acceleration of a robot are adaptive to the human-walking speed and the distance between the human and robot.
