The invention discloses a home service robot for the housebound elderly. According to the scheme, falling of the elderly is found by an autonomous cruise robot, so that monitoring dead angles are greatly reduced, and moreover, the daily life of the elderly cannot be influenced; visual navigation is implemented by using a processor, so that the number of sensors on the robot can be reduced, and thus, use cost is greatly reduced; moreover, artificial landmarks can be arranged as required, so that the requirements for cruising in different house types can be met; after a path is simply established, a cruise function can be achieved; the home service robot has high adaptability to the environment and is also easier to popularize. 本发明公开了种面向居家老人的家庭服务机器人，该方案通过自主巡航的机器人发现老人跌倒，使得监控死角大大减少，而且不会影响老人的日常生活；而使用处理器实现视觉导航可以减少机器人上的传感器数量，极大了降低了使用成本；此外，人工路标可以根据需要布置，可以满足在不同的户型巡航的需要，通过简单的建立路径后就可以实现巡航功能，对环境适应性较强，普及也更容易。
