HUMAN FOLLOWING ROBOT

Abstract: In this modern age, due to the abundant applications in everyday life and manufacturing, Human Following Robots have been researched and actively developed over a long time. Different techniques such as robot control algorithms, human target detection, and obstacle avoidance are necessary for the human robot to function. Several human following robotic procedures have been used like the use of ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, laser range sensor, voice recognition sensor camera charging-coupled devices (CCD) and so on. These technologies can detect the particular location between the robot and the human. In this paper, we follow an approach for detecting the location of a human using an ultrasonic & infrared camera, which is the fundamental technique in the robot's human follow-up. In our project, the robot is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor which captures and detects an individual's distance from it and infrared sensor to detect the presence of any obstacle.
