MarioControl: An Intuitive Control Method for a Mobile Robot from a Third-Person Perspective

Published: 08 November 2020 Publication History

Abstract

When controlling the mobile robot from the third-person perspective, if the pose of the robot changes, the direction of movement may be different from the direction of the controller operation by the user. Thus, it confuses general users. In this study, we proposed a control method in which the direction of operation and the direction of movement are the same, and compared it with a general method. We found that the people who take longer to control a mobile robot can control it better using the proposed method.
