Autonomous Human-Following Mobile Robot
Topic
This project focuses on building an autonomous human-following mobile robot using a TurtleBot 4, OAK-D RGB camera, 2D LiDAR, ROS 2 Jazzy, and a YOLO-based perception pipeline.
Mission Statement
Our goal is to develop a mobile robot that can detect a person, estimate the person’s relative distance and heading, and safely move toward them while maintaining a desired following distance. The project also includes a safety supervision layer that overrides unsafe commands when perception becomes stale or when an obstacle is detected.
