Abstract
Our aim is to use a machine-driven helping figure which can solve the problems of carrying heavy goods by following us. Keeping this conception in our mind, we built ‘MINION’ which could be the better viable answer to these problems of carrying goods when there is no one around. Our robot is built on chassis rover tank with four sonar sensors as receivers which are faced in four directions for forward, right, backward and left sides. It follows a transmitter which gives signal continuously to the receivers on the robot. A person carries the transmitter and makes the robot follow him/her. It moves itself with the help of transmitter–receiver using ultrasonic wave so that it has no need of manual input. An infrared sensor is set up on the robot to maintain a specific distance between them. Both MINION and the transmitter module use DC battery, and it is easy to operate and thus is useful in numerous applications.
