Explanation of DIY Human Following Robot

Steps to make a DIY human following robot using Arduino:

Step 1: Gather the components necessary for the robot, including an Arduino, an ultrasonic sensor, a motor driver, a battery pack, and a robot chassis. Components list is already provided above.

Step 2: Connect the ultrasonic sensor to the Arduino, which will interact with the sensor to detect the presence of a human being.

Step 3: Attach the motor driver to the Arduino, which will move the wheels of the robot.

Step 4: Connect the battery pack to the Arduino and the motor driver, as they require electricity to function.

Step 5: Attach the robot chassis to the motor driver, so that the wheels can move accordingly.

Step 6: Set up the code for the robot programming using Arduino, which will enable it to detect humans and follow them. Links of all code files are given above in the list of components section.

Step 7: Test the robot by observing if it follows the human correctly wherever they go.

Conclusion:

In summary, with the right components and the right steps, a DIY human following robot using an Arduino can be created. The Arduino platform makes the process very easy. Simply connect all the components correctly and program the robot using Arduino to move autonomously. With this robot, you can have a lot of fun and learn a lot about the inner workings of robotics. You can also use it for various applications, such as in household chores, rescue missions, and security.
