Abstract

In recent years, the labor shortage accompanying with the declining birthrate and aging of population is becoming a big social problem. Therefore, it is important to consider other labor resources. To deal with this problem, there are many research work that consider application of robots. The robots can play an active role in factories or plants. It can be used also in hotels, offices or medical institutions. In this paper, we present the implementation of an omnidirectional automated transportation robot. We describe a method for collision avoidance considering entropy approach for ensuring safety of robots.
