Abstract

A guide dog robot for visually impaired persons is provided. The guide dog robot includes a harness unit configured to grip a visually impaired person, a spring damper unit connected to the harness unit and configured to move in an axial direction, based on an external force acting between the visually impaired person and the guide dog robot, and a body part configured to perform movement based on a movement intention of the visually impaired person and a moving motion of the guide dog robot, the body part including an upper surface with the spring damper unit mounted thereon. Each of the harness unit, the spring damper unit, and the body part comprises an inertia measurement unit (IMU), and the IMU measures a position and a speed at a position at which the IMU is equipped.
