In this paper, we propose a mobile robot to detect human fall and report it to their observers. The mobile robot
consists of a household mobile robot (Yujin Robot’s Kobuki), a sensor (Microsoft’s Kinect), and a computer
(PC) to detect a human and control the robot. For simplicity of the robot and accurate fall detection, the sensor
is installed on the robot to follow the target harmoniously. Thus, the sensor can move around with the robot to
minimize blind area. The results of our experiments show that improvement of up to 80% in fall detection rate
compared to a conventional monitoring technique using position-fixed sensors. Finally, we discuss the
capabilities and future works of the robot
