Abstract

Robotic industry has evolved so much and has been a revolutionary in helping human being to complete certain task. Without the help of industrial robotics to produce car, cellphone or a computer, productions will suffer as time is a very important factor for businesses. Researchers around the world understand this, and there is already an artificial intelligent robot being produced. Each year, there will be new findings to create a robot that may one day behave similarly like a human being. However, this paper will only discuss about person following robot, a robot that should help human in an environment such as hospitals, schools, or shopping malls.
