Human Following Robot

Apr 2020

An OpenCV-powered Arduino car that tracks and follows humans in real-time.

An autonomous rover that follows you around.

  • Stack: Python (OpenCV) running on a phone processing video feed, sending commands to an Arduino controlling the motors.
  • Mechanism: Detects human presence using YOLO and sends steering commands via Bluetooth serial to the Arduino rover.
  • Story: Built shortly after TinkerFest after a failed attempt. This one worked perfectly! 🤭
