In this study, we constructed a system to estimate position for the tips of human`s toes in the dark environment by using single infrared camera. Here, we recognized the tips of human`s toes presence by binarization procedure and distinguished between a target toe and background using a difference method. In addition, we applied this system to the movable robot that can obstruct the wandering elderly person. The robot firstly found the legs of a wonderer and searched the tips of the toes. After that, it approached a target person to maintain a constant range. As a result, we could construct a system that estimates a target toe position for a watching robot.
