Abstract
This document describes a currently developed robotic system that tracks and analyses human gait parameters. This system is used to conduct mobility assessments to track the user’s health status. Mobility assessments conducted by a mobile robot provide significant advantages over current methodologies. Additionally, the robot navigation capabilities can be enhanced by the use of mobility assessment data. Parts of the overall concept are evaluated by the evAAL competition 2013, Track 1, Indoor Localization and Tracking.
