INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
• 1.In this high technology, a robot must be able to detect and follow
the human. A robot that able to detect and follow is called human
following robot.
• 2. The robot needs a mechanism which can make decision for it to
take action accordingly so that the task can be performed correctly.
The involved mechanism is sensor that can detect obstacles or object
around the robot itself.
• 3. In this project, ultrasonic sensor is used. Ultrasonic sensor is a
device that able to measure the distance to an obstacle by using
sound waves.
SCOPE
• 1.Human folowing robot are currently being used in a number of
areas in our world today. As well as being proposed for use in other
sectors too. These sectors include service areas, household, travel and
shopping.
• 2. Human following robot include detecting the target person,
preventing parmanent loss of the target person, determining the
distance from detected person and navigating with respect to the
target person
OBJECTIVE
• A human following robot requires Several techniques such as human
target detection.
• 2. Robot control algorithm and obstacles avoidance. Various
approaches of following Robots have been proposed such as using
ultrasonic sensor.
COMPONENTS
Hardware requirement:
1. Arduino Uno
2. IR sensor
3. Ultrasonic sensor
4. Servo motor
5. Motor driver shield
6. TT Gear motor
Software requirement:
1. Arduino IDE
MICROCONTROLLER

• Arduino UNO is a low-cost, flexible, and easy-to-use programmable

open-source microcontroller board
• Arduino UNO contain Atmega328 microcontroller, 6 analogue input
pins, and 14 digital I/O pins out of which 6 are used as PWM output.
• This board contains a USB interface i.e. USB cable is used to connect
the board with the computer and Arduino IDE (Integrated
Development Environment) software is used to program the board.
• IR sensor
1. Proximity sensor is used to detect objects & obstacles in front of
sensor.
2. 2. Digital low output on detecting objects in front.
• Ultrasonic sensor
1. An Ultrasonic sensor measures the distance of a target object by
emmiting ultrasonic sound waves
2. For ultrasonic sensor range is 40 to 70 khz
• 1. Micro Servo motor is a tiny and lightweight sever motor with high
output power.
• 2. Servo can rotate approximately 180 degree.
• Motor driver shield
• 1. Motor allows you to use Arduino to control the working speed and
direction of the motor.
• 2. The motor driver shield can control four servos once.
• TT Gear motor
• 1. A Geared motor is a component whose mechanism adjusts the
speed of the motor.
