Description

Gustavo Acosta-Amaya, Deimer Miranda-Montoya, Jovani Jimenez-Builes, and Tamás Haidegger built in 2024 a lightweight control system for a robot that follows a person indoors. Assistive robots for older people and people with disabilities must track a person safely without heavy computing. Their design splits control into two layers.

A depth camera feeds distance and angle data to a fuzzy logic layer that sets target speeds. A low-level layer, built with two classical control methods, drives the motors. In five trials the robot held its set following distance in real time. One low-level method beat the other on every metric. The modular design suits scale-up for personal assistance robots.
