Abstract(in English) We have been developing a robotic travel aid for the visually impaired person. To use the robotic travel aid for practical use, it is very important to evaluate the performance of the aid from the psychological point of view. In this paper, we describe the short sketch of the aid and psychological field test by a psychologist who blindfolds himself for two days. The evaluation results show that the human-machine cooperation of the aid is almost reasonable, but the robustness and safety of the aid are to be improved.
