HUMAN FOLLOWING ROBOT CAR
Automation helps reduce human effort and improve efficiency in daily life. This project focuses on developing a smart human-following robot to assist in carrying goods in places like malls, hospitals, stations, homes, and industries. The robot is built using an Arduino UNO, IR sensors, an ultrasonic sensor, motor driver, and DC motors.The system works in three stages: sensing, processing, and action. IR sensors detect the human’s direction, while the ultrasonic sensor measures distance. The Arduino processes this data and controls the motors to move the robot accordingly. The robot follows the person, maintains a safe distance, and stops when needed or when obstacles are detected.The results show that the robot can successfully follow a human with good accuracy in controlled environments. However, it has limitations in crowded areas, under strong sunlight, and in handling complex obstacles.
