Object Follower Robot

Description

An object-following robot is designed to track and follow a person or object. It moves forward as you move forward, goes backward as you move backward, and turns left or right as you turn. Using basic sensors, the robot detects your position and adjusts its movement in real-time, maintaining a constant distance while mirroring your actions. This simple functionality makes it ideal for applications like personal assistance, entertainment, or even basic navigation tasks.

Here are some short examples of real-time applications of object-following robots:

1. Healthcare: Robots like Fetch Robotics deliver medications and equipment in hospitals by following staff.
2. Warehouse: Amazon Robotics uses robots to autonomously follow and transport inventory in fulfillment centers.
3. Agriculture: FFRobotics harvests apples by following trees to pick ripe fruits.
4. Security: Knightscope K5 security robots patrol and follow specific people or areas for surveillance.
5. Consumer: iRobot Roomba follows a cleaning path to vacuum floors autonomously.
6. Entertainment: Drones used in filmmaking follow moving subjects for dynamic shots.
7. Education: LEGO Mindstorms teach robotics by programming robots to follow objects.
8. Military: Ghost Robotics follow soldiers for logistical support in combat zones.
9. Personal: Gita Robot follows people to carry their items hands-free.
10. Environmental: Ocean cleanup robots like Seabin follow water currents to collect trash.
