Abstract

For creating a safe, secure, and reliable (SSR) society, the concept of a human support system using humanoid robots is proposed; humanoid robots that can exist in the environment and help a person perform some tasks to allow him or her an SSR life. This chapter discusses the need for a human support system by analyzing a questionnaire survey of ordinary people on the web. The chapter then proposes a wheelchair user support system using humanoid robots as an example of human support and shows fundamental experiments on pushing objects using the mobile manipulation control method proposed previously.
