ABSTRACT:
A method of mapping an operation area by a team of a human and a mobile robot200includes the steps of defining a graph representing the area by a human201, guiding the robot by human along an edge203, stopping at a vertex in the graph by the team203, creating a vertex record if stopped at a new vertex205, localizing the robot and vertices if stopped at an existing vertex206, creating an edge record if finished a new edge208, and outputting an area's map including a set of vertex records and a set of edge record by the robot210. The robot's human-tracking step203includes the steps of obtaining a 2-DOF motion command from sensors that detect the human's action and executing a 2-DOF motion based on the motion command.
