Project Summary

Robotic technology has increased appreciably in past couple of years. Such innovations were only a dream for some people a couple of years. This project proposes a Human Following Robot that can interact and co-exist with people. 

To perform task accurately, robot needs a mechanism that enables it to visualize the person and act accordingly. Typically human following robots are equipped with several different diverse combination of sensors which include RFID, IR, ultrasonic sensor, and many type of sensors to locate and recognise the target.

Project Objectives

The project focuses the hardware and software implementation of a human following robot. Which starts from the simulation and end to the final hardware product. The capability of a robot to track and follow a moving object can be used for several purposes.

1. It follow the person from a safe distance
2. It help carrying stuff and follow disabled person to make ease for them
3. It can be used for multiple purposes like in grocery store, airport and library

Project Implementation Method

This project will mainly be focusing on two parts. 

1. Robotic Simulation
2. Hardware Requirements

Robotic Simulator:

CoppeliaSim is basically a free robotics simulator. Which provides a free educational version that gives all types of tools for real time simulation. In this project our main focus will be on human following robots. First we will define any suitable environment with all types of known obstacles so that the robot can easily navigate in the environment.

Hardware Requirements:

In hardware section we will switch from simulation to real world implementation and in the hard form. So we will assemble all required components that will make the robot move and sense different obejcts near to it. We will be using arduino uno and different types of sensors.

Benefits of the Project

Robotics is mainly capturing industries like manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, packaging and inspection. So it can be used in industries as equipment carriers and also be used for transfer of things from one place to another.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Typically human following robots will be able to detect the objects in its surroundings to reduce human interaction and effort. With the help of ultrasonic sensor it allows the robots to detect and estimate the distance of the obstacles. The controller will process and the result will be sent to act accordingly.

The robot will be simulated first in CoppeliaSim which is basically a free simulation software. Our main focus will be a following robot. So first we will define any suitable environment with all type of obstacles so that the robot can easily navigate between them.

Now we will switch from simulation to real-world implementation by assembling the components that will make the robot to move and sense by electronic components and sensors. The end product when presented will be able to detect the motions, obstacles and of course take various degrees of turns.
