 ABSTRACT

Humanoid robotics is an emerging research field that has

received significant attention during the past years and will
continue to play an important role in robotics research and
many applications of the 21st century and beyond. In this
rapid moving world, there is a need of robot such a “A
Human Following Robot” that can interact and co-exist with
them. Because of its human following capability, these
robots can work as assistants for humans in various situations
and it can also acquire or monitor certain information
associated with the human subject. In this paper we present a
prototype that uses Arduino Uno along with basic sensors
such as ultrasonic and IR sensor. All the processing is carried
out by the microprocessor while the control of the motors is
carried out by the controller. This robot can further be
modified by using many technologies such as Bluetooth,
Pixy Camera etc.

INTRODUCTION
1. Robot
A robot is a type of automated machine that can execute
specific tasks with little or no human intervention and with
speed and precision. The field of robotics, which deals with
robot design, engineering and operation, has advanced
remarkably in the last 50 years.

2. What can robots do?

• Essentially, there are as many different types of robots as
there are tasks for them to perform. Robots can perform
some tasks better than humans, but others are best left to
people and not machines.
1.3 The following are things robots do better than humans:
• Automate manual or repetitive activities in corporate or
industrial settings.
• Work in unpredictable or hazardous environments to spot
hazards like gas leaks.
• Process and deliver reports for enterprise security.
• Fill out pharmaceutical prescriptions and prep IVs.
• Deliver online orders, room service and even food packets
during emergencies.
• Assist during surgeries.
• Robots can also make music, monitor shorelines for
dangerous predators, help with search and rescue and even
assist with food preparation.

1.4 History of robots

The history of robots has its origins in the ancient world.

During the industrial revolution, humans developed
the structural engineering capability to control electricity so
that machines could be powered with small motors. In the early
20th century, the notion of a humanoid machine was developed.
The first uses of modern robots were in factories as industrial
robots. These industrial robots were fixed machines capable
of manufacturing tasks which allowed production with less
human work. Digitally programmed industrial robots
with artificial intelligence have been built since the 2000s.

1.5 Why is Robotics important?

Robotics technology influences every aspect of work and home.

Robotics has the potential to positively transform lives and work
practices, raise efficiency and safety levels and provide enhanced
levels of service. Even more, robotics is set to become the
driving technology underpinning a whole new generation of
autonomous devices and cognitive artefacts that, through their
learning capabilities, interact seamlessly with the world around
them, and hence, provide the missing link between the digital and
physical world. Robotics is already the key driver of
competitiveness and flexibility in large scale manufacturing
industries. Without robotics many of Europe’s successful
manufacturing industries would not be able to compete from
their current European bases of operation. In these industries
robotics already underpins employment. Increasingly robotics is
becoming more relevant for smaller manufacturing industries
which are central to Europe’s manufacturing and employment
capacity.

1.6 What are the advantages?

• In many situations robots can increase productivity,

efficiency, quality and consistency of products:
i. Unlike humans, robots don’t get bored
ii. Until they wear out, they can do the same thing again
and again
iii. They can be very accurate – to fractions of an inch (as
is needed for example in manufacturing of
microelectronics)
• Robots can work in environments which are unsafe
for humans – in the nuclear or chemical industries
for example
• Robots don’t have the same environmental
requirements that humans do – such as lighting, air
conditioning or noise protection
• Robots have some sensors/actuators which are
more capable than humans

Dept. Of Electronics Communication Engineering Page 5

 Multiple Working Robot 2023-24

What are the disadvantages?

• The use of robots can create economic problems if

they replace human jobs
• Robots can only do what they are told to do – they
can’t improvise
• This means that safety procedures are needed to protect
humans and other robots
• Although robots can be superior to humans in some
ways, they are less dextrous than humans, they don’t
have such powerful brains, and cannot compete with a
human’s ability to understand what they can see.
• Often robots are very costly – in terms of the initial
cost, maintenance, the need for extra components and
the need to be programmed to do the task.
• Can you think of any other possible advantages or
disadvantages to using robots? Share your thoughts in
the comment section below. Remember you can ‘like’
and reply to comments made by others.

2.1 Introduction of Human Following Robot

Over the last few years, robotic technology has evolved

significantly that innovations were merely a utopian dream for
some. The automation becomes first priority to any kind of
works which gives the birth to robot. Robot is a programable,
automation device that replace human intervention from basic
daily activities to activities that people think it cannot be
alternated like consultant or any field related to art. There are
plenty of robots can assist multiple aspects of human life.
Among those machine assistant, a robot that can detect and
follow humans or obstacles within a certain range is known as
a 'Human Following Robot'. Human following Robot can co-
exist and enhance the life quality of people. This robot presents
as a carrier which deliveriesitems or packages in daily life in
several places such as restaurant, hospital, shopping mall.
When it comes to require more strength and speed, the robot
can easily surpass the human limitation to acquire the goal
more efficient and faster. For example, in military field, the
weight of luggage and the harshness of topography types will
definitely be a huge disadvantage for human. Thanks to this
innovation, human intervention will reduce and be even more
productive despite enormous difficulties appeared before.

INDUSTRY PURPOSE ROBOT USING ARDUINO

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-

to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read
inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter
message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor,
turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell
your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the
microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino
programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino
Software (IDE), based on Processing.

Industrial robots are playing a vital role in the manufacturing

industry. They are generally used as payloader, welding,
painting, assembly, packaging, and other important
applications. These types of robots are automated,
programmable as well as can move in all three dimensional
axes.

8.1 Conclusion and Future Work

In this project , we have presented hardware implementation

of an input based multiple destination, multiple lines
follower robot with obstacle by passing ability. The robot
is able to follow the colored path and can identify the
destination by using color information. Once the
destination is reached and the robot is unloaded, it is able
to return to its initial position to get ready for loading.
During its journey, the robot is able to bypass the
obstacles. Though, there has been significant work in the
field of line following robots, no cost effective solution
seems to have been reported for multiple lines following
to reach at multiple destinations. Besides, the obstacle
avoiding task has been addressed with some limitations.
The robot discussed in this paper is able to bypass the
obstacles effectively and efficiently. Additionally, it is
also capable of returning to its initial position. The robot
presented in this work accounts for obstacles only.An
interesting future work is to make the robot more
intelligent by using deep learning approaches such as
those in [18], [19], [20], [21]. In this way, the robot can be
trained for speech data so that the robot identifies voices
and responds to both speech and image signaling.
