Abstract

In this letter, we propose a monitoring system that employs a ceiling camera and a mobile robot. Ceiling camera is used to estimate the position of a fallen person, which is used by the robot to navigate to the person’s vicinity to examine his or her condition. This is done by transmitting the height information of obstacles and the fallen person from the ceiling camera to the robot so that it can accurately localize itself and plan a safe route. An actual system was constructed and verified that the required movements could be executed.
