Abstract
We present a novel wearable system for robot navigation. In this system, a user can operate multiple robots in a very intuitive way: the user gazes at a robot and then gazes at its destination on the floor. As this system needs no equipment in the environment, the user can apply it anywhere on a flat floor with only the wearable system. In this paper, we show how to estimate the positions and orientations of the robots and the gazed position. We also describe implementation of the robot navigation system.
