Abstract

The ability to detect humans is an important skill for service robots, especially if these robots are employed in an environment where human presence is constant, for instance a service robot which works as a receptionist in the hall of a hotel. The principal aim of the proposed method is to estimate the human position using data provided by a Laser Range Finder (LRF). The method utilizes two Finite State Machines (FSMs) to detect some leg patterns and, after that, it computes the probability of being a pair of legs for each detected pattern. In order to validate the proposed method some experiments were performed and are shown.
