Abstract

Modernization has brought up significant changes in the way humans used to communicate with devices which aid in reducing strenuous work. Robotics has made life simpler by automating some specific tasks, one such application of robotics is explored in this paper. Human Following Robot (HFR) can be used to carry heavy goods or simply follow its user to act as an interface between IoT connected devices. In this paper, a Low-Cost Protoytpe of Human Follower Robot is proposed which uses Received Signal Strength Indicator of Wi-Fi to establish its task.
