Real world experiments of an autonomous mobile robot in the pedestrian environment

Abstract
This paper reports experiences of the Tsukuba Challenge 2009 and 2010, or the Real World Robot Challenge. The challenge aims at promoting practical technologies for autonomous mobile robot working in pedestrian environment. The robot has to travel 1 km along a specified route without human aid, modifying the environments, or causing any dangers to human safety. This paper discusses failure due to unexpected behavior of pedestrians in the 2009 challenge and solutions for success in the challenge 2010.
