Guidance of people is an important task for mobile robots that provide services. In this paper, we propose a method for a ground-projecting robot to guide a person based on the property that a person moves to a position where the projected image is easily visible. The proposed method rotates the projected image in guiding, guides the person's direction to another route direction and a guidance object, and realizes natural guidance. From the preliminary experimental results, it was shown that the direction of the subjects changed with the rotation of the projected image.
