Abstract
Anyone would like to be helped on dragging his bags, carrying his books, or taking his stuff and taking them wherever he goes. You can rent somebody to do that, or ' I follow you ' robot can help you. I follow you is a robot that can carry stuff and real time tracking the person. Also, it is not required to prepare any infrastructure or set up a special environment to operate the robot. Many literature projects that create a person-tracking robot need to prepare the environment to make the tracking robot, that will restrict the areas where the robot can be used in. The main idea is to create a person-tracking robot that can operate in an unstructured environment. To create such a robot, there are many problems that have to be solved. First, all tracking system devices have to be located on the robot so that there is no need to prepare any special environment. Second, system sensors shouldn’t be affected by external factors like sunlight, rain, interference with other systems, etc. Third, what is the system, how its work, and how it will locate the target person between others. moreover, how it will know the direction and the distance of that person. Many approaches and technologies are applied to solve this issue. For example, vision, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and other approaches. This project use RF/ultrasonic sensors system, RF/ultrasonic sensor is tracking person in unstructured environment, ultrasonic sensors to determine where the person is and how much he/she far away and to support obstacles avoidance system, RF sensor to provide synchronous communication between ultrasonic sender and receivers. Obstacle avoidance system to prevent crashes, it ensures the robot doesn't hit anything while it follows the person.
