The Problem of Human-following for a Mobile Robot

Abstract

The problem of human-following for mobile robotic systems have been extensively studied. There are a number of approaches for different types of robots and sensor systems. In particular, different equipment of the environment and sensor-based methods by using a special suit have been applied for solution of the problem of
human-following for mobile robots. This paper proposes an algorithm for the problem of human-following in an unequipped indoor environment for a low-cost mobile robot with a single visual sensor. We consider the results of computational experiments. Also, we consider the results of robotic experiments for day and night navigation.
