Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to design and construct an autonomous human following robot with vision-based system using a camera in context of indoor environment. Practically, this robot is built to benefit the old or disabled people [13] [22] when they are shopping in the supermarket to reduce their physical effort. To make the robot follow the target human, there are some features that the system must be able to detect and track, such as upper-body, color of clothing or their appearance. To detect those features, several algorithms will be implemented and tested, including the CamShift Algorithm with Kalman Filter, Haar Cascade Classifier, HOG Person Detector and Condensation algorithm. Furthermore, the performance of these algorithms will be compared and choose the best one to be implemented. To maintain the safe distance between the robot and the human, distance measurement sensor will be implemented and will be processed by microcontroller board which will communicate with mini- PC through Firmata Communication Protocol. From the tests, the combination of Haar-Cascade Classifier and Camshift Algorithm with Kalman Filter is more suitable to be implemented in human-following robot in proper lighting condition indoor environment with 88% of success rate and infrared distance sensor is more accurate (90%) than ultrasonic sensor (55%) to measure the distance to the targeted human.
