In this paper, we introduce a stereo vision based CNN tracker for a person following robot.
The tracker is able to track a person in real-time using an online convolutional neural …

A vision-based target-following guider for mobile robot is presented in this paper. It consists
of three parts: the visual tracking part; the target redetection part; and the visual servo part. In …

Significant research and development has been invested in technical issues related to
person following. However, a systematic approach for designing robotic person-following …

Person following behavior is an important task for social robots. To enable robots to follow a
person, we have to track the target in real-time without critical failures. There are many …

It is important to encourage older adults to remain active when interacting with assistive
robots. This study proposes a schematic model for integrating levels of automation (LOAs) …

Three advanced natural interaction modalities for mobile robot guidance in an indoor
environment were developed and compared using two tasks and quantitative metrics to …
