| description | Technologies that permits remote monitoring can be very
helpful in reducing concerns of long-distance caregiving
especially for elderly care. This work describes the design and
development of a Camera-based mobile Robot for Elderly
Care (CREC). A Pixy CMUcam5 camera is used as the main
intermediary between the elderly and the movement of the
robot. This camera uses a marker or tag to follow and monitor
the elderly. Furthermore, a range finder sensor, Ultrasonic
Sensor HC-SR04 is used as the main sensor to avoid obstacles
as it is easy to inter-face and low-cost. An Arduino
microprocessor is utilized to control the tyres of the mobile
robot, so that the robot can follow the elderly with precision.
In the current work, the robot is specifically designed to be
used indoors. Several experiment have been carried out to
show the usefulness of CREC. Experimental results
demonstrated that CREC is capable to avoid obstacle and
follow the marker tagged static and moving target
successfully. |
