Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) To evaluate the walking ability, gait measurements are carried out in community health activities. In this study, we propose a gait measurement robot (GMR) using laser range sensor (LRS) for a long-distance walk tests regardless of detection range of sensor. The GMR sequentially estimates its own pose and acquires the both leg positions of the participant. The robot leads the participant from the start to the goal of the walk test while maintaining a certain distance from the participant. To verify the GMR measurement accuracy, we carry out the straight walk tests with young people. In addition, we carry out the seven-meter straight walk tests with the elderly people using a stationary LRS for the advance verification of measurement in the elderly with the GMR.
