Abstract(in English) We have been developing the Intelligent City Walker (ICW), which is an intelligent wheeled vehicle based on commercial electric scooter. It is one element of Robotic Communication Terminals (RCTs) project. ICW has two main functions: that as an information terminal and an intelligent mobile vehicle. Route search for low speed transportation via mobility support GIS for pedestrian and vehicle avoidance via road observation system is former function. Semi-autonomous danger avoidance is latter function. ICW makes environment description with three-dimension occupancy grid from supersonic sensor, infrared sensor, and three-eye stereo camera. Autonomous avoidance is done if the ICW estimates that collision will occur.
