Abstract. Against the increasing number of single households, we have been proposing the “Biofied Building” that provides a safe, secure, and comfortable living space for a resident using a small home robot. The robot can be used for real-time sensing of the resident’s position and behavior. On the other hand, for further use of the robot, such as choosing a path that does not disturb the resident, a phase to predict the resident’s behavior is necessary. Walking, which is one of the most basic activities of daily living, is often targeted in studies of motion prediction. However, most of them deal with steady walking, even though walking in daily life includes unsteady walking such as the turning motion. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to extract the prediction parameters to construct a prediction method for the unsteady 90-degree turn. In this study, we explored the effective prediction parameters for 90-degree turns based on the measured data using the inertial measurement unit (IMU) based motion capture system aiming to introduce the prediction of unsteady walking to the “Biofied Building”.
