To deal with the problem, we aim to develop a multiple wheelchair robot system that moves with multiple companions collaboratively. In actual care, we noticed that for a group of four people, which included wheelchair users and their companions they tended to break up into two sets of two (1 wheelchair user and 1 caregiver) to move around or communicate with each other. Based on this observation, we propose a robotic wheelchair system that facilitates coordinated movement between the wheelchairs and the companions while maintaining suitable formations for communication among the group., The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com, text, application/pdf}, pages = {805--814}, title = {Multiple Robotic Wheelchair System Considering Group Communication}, year = {2014}, yomi = {コバヤシ, ヨシノリ and クノ, ヨシノリ} }
