Human Tracking using Ultrasonic Sensor for Mobile Robot

SHIINA Makoto

This human tracking system is achieved by estimating the position of the ultrasonic transponder attached to the waist of the target person using triangulation, of which the hardware configuration is consisted of 3 ultrasonic sensors mounted on the mobile robot. This system is developed using the ultrasonic sensor driver "HiSonic" developed in our laboratory, and a PIC18f4550 microcontroller with built-in USB module.
