Title:
WALKING SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/085011
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In the present invention, humanoid robots automatically measure the average walking speed of human workers by using a group of sensors. The humanoid robots are moved at a speed equivalent to the measured walking speed. The movement speeds in the entire work environment can be synchronized (first stage synchronization). Speakers play a rhythm that can be heard by both the human workers and the humanoid robots. Playing such rhythmic music on the floor synchronizes all human workers and humanoid robots to the same rhythm (second stage synchronization). If music is played at a speed 1.2 times the walking speed A of the human workers (A × 1.2), the entire flow of movement can be synchronized to a 1.2 times faster rhythm (third stage synchronization), with fewer accidents (e.g., contact and collisions, etc.).
